The Ride To Agadir

Taken from Mike Batt's Schitzophonia album

[@angelikagrunberg2050]

Seit 1979 für mich ein besonderes Stück. Sofort Text auswendig gekonnt und bis heute am Mitsingen und -tanzen, wenn ich es höre.

Samstag, 18. März 1978 , SchlagerRallye, WDR2 mit Wolfgang Neumann :)

Auch wenn ich heute, nach fast 45 Jahren, nicht mehr alle Töne höre, so fühlt sich der Song immer noch episch an und mann fühlt sich (fast) wieder wie mit 16😁😎🧐

[@markuspinkert9323]

A part of it was used as starting music of Frontal 21,a German political investigative TV magazine.

One of my favorite songs

[@dariowestern]

Epic rock track, hahahahha! I love Alan Parker's guitar solos in it, the multi-harmonied vocals, the tribal drumming and the string quartet at the end. (p.s. in case nobody gets my original sentence, the Schizophonia album was originally released on Epic Records in 1977).

ich habe das Original auf LP! Das ist nicht das Gleiche!!! My Album is from 1977 sooooo different!! to this!

[@hendrikdebruin4012]

The entire Album ranks among the top albums ever released. Not much out there today that can match it. One of my exercise songs this... motivates you to do that last rep when you just cannot .....

I was in Agadir many years ago, after the earthquake. Big cracks in the buildings . . .

@@hamzaalawna5986 ...The Ride to Agadir London Symphony Orchestra, Mike Batt We rode in the morning, Casablanca to the west. On the Atlas mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh. For Mohammed and Marocco We had taken up our guns For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons. For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons. In the dry winds of summer We were sharpening the blades. We were riding to act upon the promise we had made. With the fist and the dagger, with the rifle and and the lance, We will suffer no intrusion from the infidels of France. We will suffer no intrusion from the infidels of France. We could wait no more, In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir. Like the dogs of war, For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir. Though they were waiting, And they were fifty to our ten, They were easily outnumbered by a smaller force of men. As the darkness was falling They were soon to realize, We were going to relive upon their godforsaken lives. We were going to relive upon their godforsaken lives. We could wait no more, In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir. Like the dogs of war, For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir. We rode in the morning, Casablanca to the west. On the Atlas mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh. For Mohammed and Marocco We had taken up our guns, For the edges of our fathers and the children of our sons. For the edges of our fathers and the children of our sons. Quelle: LyricFind Songwriter: Mike Batt Songtext von The Ride to Agadir © Sony/ATV Music Publishing L
