Deep Purple Deep Purple April (Blackmore, Lord) "A sort of 3 part of concert about the month of April. The first section is played by just Jon and Ritchie. Jon played piano and organ, and Ritchie played acoustic guitar (a rhythm pattern and a double tracked lead pattern) and electric guitar. The choir was added afterwards. The whole section used about 11 different tracks. Also Ian on timpani can be heard in the background. The second section is Jon's orchestral description of April. The instruments used were : two flutes, two oboes, cor anglais, two clarinets, two violins, viola and two cellos. The third section is a treatment of the cord sequence of the first section in a more "Purple" way. As a whole, we hope April hangs together as personal evocation of a beautiful, but sad (to us) month." April is a cruel time Even though the sun may shine And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away Still falls the April rain And the valley's filled with pain And you can't tell me quite why As I look up to the grey sky Where it should be blue Grey sky where I should see you Ask why, why it should be so I'll cry, say that I don't know Baby once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile But then the feeling comes again of an April without end Of an April lonely as a girl In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun And the springtime's the season of the night Grey sky where it should be blue Grey sky where I should see you Ask why, why it should be so I'll cry, say that I don't know I don't know Rod Evans - Vocals Ritchie Blackmore - Lead Guitar Jon Lord - Keyboards Nicky Simper - Bass Guitar Ian Paice - Drums DEEP PURPLE was, unusually, the band's third album, recorded between January and April 1969. It was the last album to feature the band's original line up, which survived until June 1969. The album was their most ambitious at the time; combining hard rock and classical music together - hardly the most obvious combination. The track "April" was a taste of things to come later that year - the "Concerto for Group and Orchestra".... The song notes that appear before the lyrics on each track are the sleeve notes that were issued with the original gatefold album, but later deleted.
