Thunder - 'The Western Sky' (official video)

The Western Sky
Better cool your jets
Turn it off, step down
It’s a long, long way
From that one horse town

Burning desert, pumpjack drills
Sleeping oceans, snow-capped hills

There’s a red sun in the western sky
It’s been a long day coming miles and miles
Tomorrow we go again
Til we’re watching the sea roll in
We ride to the western sky

You might find your peace
You might find yourself
You might see the light
You just can’t tell

I know I’m where I wanna be
When I see it all in front of me

There’s a red sun in the western sky
And it calls my name but I don’t know why
Rebel hearts and restless souls
Wherever the river flows
We ride to the western sky

Up and down, around the bend
Never wanting the road to end

There’s a red sun in the western sky
It’s been a long day coming miles and miles
Tomorrow we go again
Til we’re watching the sea roll in
We ride to the western sky

Οι Thunder είναι ένα Βρετανικό hard rock συγκρότημα, το οποίο δημιουργήθηκε το μακρινό 1989 από τις "στάχτες" των Terraplane, όταν δύο μέλη των τελευταίων [ο Danny Bowes (φωνή) και ο συνθέτης / κιθαρίστας Luke Morley] σχημάτισαν τον "Κεραυνό".

Δισκογραφούν από το 1990. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει 14 full length δίσκους, αρκετά live albums, 9 συλλογές (compilations), 9 EPs και μπόλικα singles. Το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα τιτλοφορείται "Dopamine" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του Απρίλη...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Fifty years and counting since singer Danny Bowes met guitarist Luke Morley, and three decades since they founded the British rock giants Thunder, the south London fivesome are releasing their magnum opus. The band’s first double album, Dopamine, delivers 16 new tracks that cover a world of musical territory. Too vital to be simply labelled veterans, too varied in style to be just another classic rock band, Thunder are at their very peak of their considerable form, as evidenced by the wealth of light and shade on Dopamine.

‘Dopamine’ follows on from 2021’s return to the full-throttle sound of Thunder, ‘All The Right Noises’ which continued their consecutive Top 10 UK Album Chart run at No.3, since their ecstatically received comeback seven years ago. It is another chapter in the band’s incredible history that has seen them create a succession of some of the most highly regarded rock albums of the past 30 years. The key to their renown: brilliantly conceived top-drawer material. Thunder is the last of the true British rock giants.»
