Deaf Rat - "Like A Prayer" (Madonna cover)
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
(Aaah) Life is a (aaah) mystery
(Aaah) Everyone must (aaah) stand alone
(Aaah) I hear you (aaah) call my name
And it feels like (aaah)
(Aaah) Just like a prayer (aaah) your voice can take me there
(Aaah) Just like a muse to me (aaah) you are a mystery
(Aaah) Just like a dream (aaah) you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
(Aaah) Life is a (aaah) mystery
(Aaah) Everyone must (aaah) stand alone
(Aaah) I hear you (aaah) call my name
And it feels like (aaah)
(Aaah) Just like a prayer (aaah) your voice can take me there
(Aaah) Just like a muse to me (aaah) you are a mystery
(Aaah) Just like a dream (aaah) you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Ονομάζονται Deaf Rat, μας έρχονται από την Σουηδία κι αρέσκονται σε hard rock ρυθμούς. Δηλώνουν ως επιρροές μπάντες / καλλιτέχνες όπως οι W.A.S.P, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Guns n Rose κλπ. Πρόπερσι κυκλοφόρησαν το ντεμπούτο τους υπό τον τίτλο "Ban The Light". Εν έτει 2021 επιστρέφουν με διασκευή σε ένα από τα πλέον γνωστά "σουξέ" της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα, το τραγούδι της Madonna "Like A Prayer", για την οποία ο τραγουδιστής της μπάντας, Frankie Rich, μας λέει:
«To make the decision to record a classic hit song that sold millions of copies all over the world may sound like a great idea at first, but it sure comes with a lot of challenges. When you take on a song that has touched so many hearts and souls during so many years, there will be just as many opinions as there will be listeners. Like A Prayer, which was originally released in 1989, is one of Madonna’s bestsellers and most popular songs to date.
Furthermore at time of release it entered single charts in various countries on #1 (e.g. US, UK) and #2 (e.g. DE, NL) and similar positions in a lot of other countries worldwide and has been part of Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top 500 - best songs of all times. I always treat other artists’ creations and work with great respect.
It’s important to understand the song and understand the work behind it before you start taking things apart. On a well produced song like this, all details on the recording are there for a reason, and they are all played in a certain way for a reason.
The biggest challenge for us was to find a way to create something that sounded like Deaf Rat, while keeping much of the parts that the vocals and instruments play on the original track. Three years ago, we had somewhat of a dead period with a lot of setbacks during 10 months.
The spirit inside the band was not the best. I saw that we needed to focus on something together so I did some demos of cover songs on my own and brought it forward to the rest of the band. Luckily, the rest of the guys grasped on to it and we were able to turn our built up frustration into fuel for creativity in the studio instead. If we had not entered the studio and worked on this song together, chances are big the band would not be around today.»
Δελτίο τύπου: «Deaf Rat is the band that fills up the cracks in the ageing concrete between old school and modern hard rock. Lead vocalist Frankie Rich and guitarists Pat Kramer and Max Lander spent the last eight years together touring Europe in minivans without air condition, sleeping on the floors of fans’ apartments and sometimes even living in their recording studio to afford production costs for tours and albums.
The band hails from Dalarna in Sweden, a small region with long traditions of mining, steel industry, music and a healthy dose of DIY attitude. Dalarna is the home of bands such as PAIN, Sabaton, Scar Symmetry & Twilight Force.
To pay the rent between tours the band members have worked at a local theatre and a special effects company, something that sparked an interest in building props and effects for their live show. Also, a common childhood interest in blowing things up has found a natural outlet in some serious pyrotechnics.
Deaf Rat is, in the truest sense of the word, one of Sweden’s most explosive live acts. The many years of touring and studio experience have taught the band to harness that fire and transfer it to tape.»
