lyrics
High noon oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breaking my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides why he's lighter than air
Oh I see his face
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe
In the heat and the rain
With the whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?
Hot wind moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face

"Stargazer" is the fifth track from British rock band Rainbow's 1976 album Rising. It is an epic song narrating the story of a wizard whose attempt to fly by constructing a tower to the stars led to the enslavement of vast numbers of people. "Stargazer" is notable for its musical qualities as well, with the guitar and drum solos cited as important examples of the qualities of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, singer Ronnie James Dio, and drummer Cozy Powell.
I picked this one up as preparation for the Ragnarök Festival. VANAHEIM play lively, epic folk metal which appears very cheerful. Sometimes they remind me of Moonsorrow, Ensiferum, Equilibrium or Finsterforst. The songs are packed with fresh ideas, pathos and creativity, sometimes even too much for my taste. But live they performed a crowd-moving set and left the stage as a big winner and with many new supporters. Check the mighty opener "Unit Steen Geslagen". H.L.
A powerful metal opus, blending soaring vocals, intricate melodies, and thunderous riffs for an epic listening experience. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 26, 2023
