Deep Purple Perfect Strangers Lyrics

[@ardaorhan]

That riff is out of this planet.

[@EltonFerns]

Brand of Sacrifice!

[@robinmorris5416]

We rocked this in high school, class of 86!

[@michaelhorn9114]

86 rocked!!!

[@kennastout7621]

I wish I was around then..

[@efranmedina1010]

Yech yea music not the same

[@plalelal]

This got almost no radio play, so sad! It kicks ass!

[@Seemsayin]

33 years... and STILL as cool as it was in '84.

[@jasam2592]

Wasn't born til late 80s.. and still brought me up. Now, almost 40.. still loving every second. Cheers mate

[@kmilohr27]

R.I.P. Jon. He was one of the, if not the absolute, finest keyboard players of the 20th century. He was the sole man responsible for making keyboards an acceptable instrument in hard rock and metal. Long live the legend that is Jon Lord. We'll see you in heaven

[@RedExia]

Man, never thought that an old song could be this good, love it! Thanks dad for recommending this to me!

[@Alex-ht5ci]

art doesn't lose value with age, you need to listen to more old music

[@tomlund4951]

Hee ha ha history my son

[@shanke300]

Another rock's eternal gift of a song .

[@moose3356]

now this is a real music, better than pop music these days

[@Chico50445]

and better than pop music of the 80's.

[@jcjcc1960]

Unknown Lazy Warrior all the great music has already been mad correct😊

[@jcjcc1960]

SnakeEater866 well there is corn ball music from 80s then their is the music that is classic as well,, the 80s and 90s were a great time to be alive i was only 8 years old when this song come out ,,but i listened to all the music my parents listened to,, still do . Nirvana changed the rock scene forever.. RIP Kurt Cobain , he was murdered. Courtney Love was complicit in this. His suicide note was not a suicide note , it was a note to her he was leaving her and her band Hole was about to drop their first album and it would have ruined her career , she was having him Tracked down by private detectives and because the powers-that-be decided that he was worth more dead than alive and he no longer wanted to be famous and had gotten sick of the Fame game and everything that came with it he was murdered, new evidence shows this and a lot of investigative journalism. I hope that hooker gets everything she deserves!

[@antonystringfellow5152]

@@jcjcc1960 Bollocks! Do you believe the Earth is flat too?

[@antonystringfellow5152]

Unknown Lazy Warrior For me, one of the best rock tracks ever. Very difficult to match.

[@RCAvhstape]

The intro alone is so badass. So Purple.

[@iselgarelbal4886]

you are better....

[@danduffy914]

Helium Road The almighty Jon Lord!

[@edwardharless5033]

Yes it is

[@chrism5487]

yeah. you know you're about to be rocked by a thousand warriors.

[@Nekkers1]

That s a pity.... is your style of music better??? I love deep purple since I bought there first LP!!! Now their live music is not so good anymore...there are more Instrumentals... but I love their music!!

[@kristinapetkovic5074]

It was amazing to hear this song live in Belgrade on the 18 Feb. The best birthday present ever.

[@reemclaughlin4260]

I'm happy for you girl! 🤗💖

[@loveybells77]

one of my fave Purple songs, We have seen them several times in concert and they sound just as good in concert as they do in the studio. Not to many bands do.

[@dougmartin8335]

One of my favorite Deep Purple songs I graduated high school in 1981 saw this tour couple years later.

[@asiffouzi6808]

I seldom listen to Deep Purple these days but when I do, the neighbors do too!

[@sandyjuergens143]

😂 yep. But DAMN, you gotta chill after work every once in a while

[@spunbearing65]

Its good for them.

[@marcosrecio4062]

That's a douchebag thing to do and they will end up hating the song. Also youre a liar,stop copying comments

[@jojopimentel2948]

I know!!! Turn it down!!😆😁😁😃

[@augenstern60]

😂😂✌👍💪😉

[@АндрейМельников-ы3ш]

One of my favorites from Purple ...

[@sophiaadcock6769]

I LOVE this song!! I want someone very special close to me too when I listen to it... Thank you андрей мельников :-)

[@АндрейМельников-ы3ш]

Sophia Adcock Wow, what revelation :)))) Thank you very much!

[@sophiaadcock6769]

You're welcome :-)

[@reemclaughlin4260]

My fav. 👍🏼☮

[@reinaldomunoz7133]

Temaso

[@DbladeMedic]

That breakdown after the chorus... Just amazing

[@nancystimmel766]

This song never gets old!

[@sothron]

Love this song. My dad had this tape when I was a kid and I loved every song on it but the title track, this song, was the best. I grew up a wrestling fan and always though this song was perfect for an entrance theme. Imagine how hard I marked out when Shane Douglas "the Franchise" of ECW made this his entrance music. Still a great song all these years later.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Cassettes 8track Vinyl That’s our legacy

[@cliffherren9811]

In my opinion this song and "knocking at your back door" were the 2 best songs Deep Purple did.

[@kasssmith2404]

yup 2 best ever!!

[@MrAitraining]

One of the greatest comeback albums ever

[@robbiesmith1381]

Damn the memories with this song. Best days of my life!

[@wrobsonyahotmailcom]

More than PERFECT!

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

The lyrics flow like a perfect poem, the time signatures and rhythms form a perfect melody, this was one of the perfect rock tunes from the 80s, nuff said!

[@bgandjsco1]

Those are some deep ,serious lyrics. Amazing

[@mikedavenport9426]

This song really kicks ass

[@FreeNoyse]

RIP Jon Lord. He was great! Great innovator of the rock organ, great power in his music.. Led Zeppelin number 1 though (you can hear the influence of zeppelin's kashmir on this purple's classic)

[@antonystringfellow5152]

Hard to find a better classic rock track than this.

[@brettrick8100]

Oh yeah this rocks.Reminds me of 1984 cruising around jamming the pioneer box speakers and passing around a couple doobs!

[@sothron]

I loved this song as a kid growing up and my dad is a huge DP fan and would play that entire album. Imagine how much I marked out years later when the FRANCHISE Shane Douglas used this as his entrance theme in ECW.

[@nemethmihaly9848]

This fantastic song is my favourite forever!

[@brianjob3018]

If astral projection is not fantasy, how could this song be fantas(y)tic?

[@dumberer67]

this brings me back! in h.s. with my smoker buds jamming to this-MR. LORD you are the king of keyboards!!!

[@usdcjuryman]

Honestly, I can not understand how someine could dislike this song. Keyboards, bass, guitar, drums, vocals....it really is an underrated song from a very underrated band.

[@jennyup1967]

Classic! Sounds just as good today as when it first graced the airwaves!

[@blairfitzgerald9572]

Ian Gillian's voice. Dear Christ, gives me chills to this day.

[@lysetteanjou9528]

When I hear this entire album I remember all the critics saying Deep purple had nothing left to offer and then I laugh

[@firstnamelast5246]

Lisa Keefer I seem to recall hearing that back in the 80s when this album came out. I think there was a lot of mixed feelings on how this album would be received. I'm betting it has done much better than anticipated.

[@Enzolino007]

We were both married. And had to be in social situations. So we would play this song. Then find a bathroom stall. We did it last weekend. I find that I love it...getting into the shadows. With my love that adores me. I'm in it totally.

[@seanhammer6296]

What a f..king great song! I used to listen to this album with a buddy of mine when it first came out but never really paid attention to the lyrics.

[@stephtash9494]

Saw them on their perfect strangers tour 1984 at the now torn down Sydney Entertainment centre original lineup, George Harrison came on special surprise did one song with them .,

[@aleksandartosic4504]

Perfect lyrics, perfect music, perfect song... PERFECT!

[@marynoragus8374]

saw this live in 1986. love how it makes me feel

[@laszlodajka9914]

I wodner what they exactly had in mind when they wrote "And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers"

[@davidmalone3317]

Saw this liveNuremburg,West Germany 1987

[@474bonnie]

omg..Deep Purple seems so long time agao..and still so present!!

[@ralphpiombo5506]

Instantly identifiable from the first 2 bars - Gotta hand it to them Deep Purple Rocks!!!

[@sportstruthpedroperez]

Classic Franchise!

[@Suzy585]

This song is the echo of my past!

[@Marielegoth]

One of the best songs you'll listen to in your f*ckin₲ Life!!!

[@NicholasMwenyeo-ir5pe]

True l support u

[@wendizimmerman1434]

just listened to this song yesterday for the first time in years. it is brilliant. i have listened to it about 10 times now. cant get it out of my head.

[@fayem4656]

I love this song !!! It started it all !!! So much meaning !!

[@exisal]

t's weird how you go from being strangers to being friends to being more than friends to being practically strangers again...and it all happens so fast... Now we must remain perfect strangers...

[@dijamaira1981]

Deep Purple,Led Zeppelin and Queen was some of the band that i'd encountered since i was a teen..still relevant type of music that i can still dig with today.. timeless!!

[@nobodyaskedbut]

Even after many years Mark2 returned at their incomparable best.

[@markritzow5647]

I really like the middle part where they switch from 4/4 to I think 9/4 . Flawless and superb!

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

Born in 1921 slow as a tortoise 🐢 but I rise like yeast when I hear this. God bless lord. Dah master of disaster on the boards

[@SirPhartsUhlot]

Now THAT, boys and girls, is METAL! !

[@santobazzano5478]

SirPhartsUhlot not really man its more hard rock but Metallica that's metal

[@AngelGabrielVargasBeltran]

try jorn lande version of this

[@Alex-ht5ci]

metallica is more hard rock than deep purple is when it comes to songs like this, this is traditional heavy metal, or proto-metal, deep purple along with black sabbath and rainbow created metal, don't forget that

[@firstnamelast5246]

beedo hashish I thought that MOTORHEAD were the creators of metal ? Doesn't matter either way. It's all badass. Ban all other forms of music I say. Nothing but metal over the airwaves from now on.

[@herpderpinson6117]

>metallica >hard rock >DP and rainbow >metal give me what you’re smoking buddy i want some

[@ShamsArifin-pj3bz]

15 seconds into the song and I already know I'll love it

[@phoenix20401]

i grew up with my dad listening to deep purple, now i enjoy it as well

[@jenniferbegin3703]

I listen to this at least twice a week!

[@DJKennyTheJuggler]

Love this part 1:04 - with the echo synchronizing 10 or so seconds later. That is why I came here.

[@paulpaulsen7245]

Is it coincidence that every time I listened to this song I GOT REMINDED OF CHRIST? Christ the "PERFECT STRANGER"? Who has flown a thousand oceans & is the echo of our past? Who has known a thousand warriors & who has laughed as the spirits appear? And who hears us talking on the wind? Yes, it might be the echo of a point in time & pointing to Christ indeed! One of the most famous rock songs of all time appears to be singing ON CHRIST! Kindest greetings & regards from Germany!

[@paulpaulsen7245]

Christ is the real one who can say, as the lyrics goes: "I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow!" Very prophetic! Very soothing! Very nice!

[@paulpaulsen7245]

And now you have ab answer on Richie Blackmore´s mystical "strangeness"...

[@markbaim6125]

The Ultimate Rock Band!

[@Kevin-Murphy-007]

i had this in my trans am while on the highway,it was an awsome experiance.increadable song and car.sigh.i miss those days.

[@loveybells77]

The voice of ages.....

[@outragedamerican1149]

damn the lyrics to this song are good

[@jjoggi1969]

BEST GROUP, ever seen live...just dahm awesome. Miss Dp.

[@LittleWing58]

magical mystic masterpiece, spirals you off into the universe ...

[@laineydoodles9297]

Hearing this song again makes me think of my Uncle who loved this song. When I first heard it, I didn't like it but after my Uncle requested it more times, I liked this song and it makes me think of my Uncle.

[@jsr450]

I First Time I heard this song while watching an ECW tv show It was Bad Ass. This song goes down in history as a legend and as a Franchise Baddest Theme Music Ever.

[@zanderkeen5382]

When we hear this song and see the Extreme Pittsburgh Warrior known as The Franchise Shane Douglas making his entrance, no matter if he has a Title around his waist or not, we will always remember ECW

[@BruiserKC]

When I hear this tune I think of Shane Douglas in ECW...The Franchise

[@ecwfaithful]

About half of the listen to came from ECW and the independent circuit to be honest. The remainder came from video games and my father's influence.

[@kevinedwards7670]

***** Your father's influence? lol Are you saying you're Shane Douglas' kid? Which one are you? The one that's 13 or the one that's 9 years old? lol

[@crotchman]

And Chris Benoit, Francine, and Dean Malenko.

[@jasonjellie9342]

this was Shane Douglas ECW theme. he had similar versions in his career but the lyrical version was ecw

[@actionsub]

Kevin Sullivan and "Purple Haze" Mark Lewin used this on occasion in Boston area indys.

[@zammatt]

2019..still rockin to this..kids these days got NOTHIN on DP..Period

[@ronaldsmith1484]

You are doing them a huge favor!

[@Irishmule169]

Takes me back to being in high school instantly,when this bad ass album came out !!!,

[@doubleman777]

Love this song! It is amazing!

[@Henrique-iy2lk]

My favorite song of deep purple

[@toddgirardier8138]

I was outside Kiel Auditorium in St.Louis,Mo. when DP was on the Perfect Strangers tour, (couldn't get a ticket-sold out) and they opened with this song, and I kid you not, the entire building was shaking !!! (it's built of solid granite blocks folks) and I kid you not the building was shaking as tho there were tremors happening, I stood outside and rocked to this song !!!

[@edsousa001]

this song ...was their firs release off their first album when they reunited as a group in the very early 80's....after they swore they never would when they first broke up...that is what this song represented and was about,,,cause thats what it was like when they first hit the studio,,,they were strangers to each other at that point,,, but it was like they never split,,,,they meshed,,,perfectly,,,,perfect strangers

[@josevillafane5543]

Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!

[@graydawg69]

I will NEVER get tired of this song

[@jonmolina948]

I'll never forget this playing after November To Remember 1997.

[@zanderkeen5382]

If you're talking about an ECW event, we will always acknowledge the warrior who currently uses it as his theme song

[@ArgonsYzf]

This solo is mind blowing :o

[@ishak681]

Deep Purple is still great rock band

[@klausbaummann1116]
