Whitesnake - 'Love Ain't No Stranger (live video' 2025 remaster)

Who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no

Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

So who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Lord, have mercy,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

Love ain't no stranger,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...

Το τραγούδι "Love Ain't No Stranger" το πρωτακούσαμε στον δίσκο των Whitesnake "Slide It In" που κυκλοφόρησε στα ξεκινήματα του 1984. Έναν χρόνο αργότερα (Ιανουάριος 1985) "βγήκε" και αυτόνομα ως single. Σύνθεση και στίχοι του David Coverdale και του Mel Galley.

Το εν λόγω μουσικό κομμάτι αποτελεί και μέρος της νέας συλλογής των Whitesnake υπό τον τίτλο "Access All Areas: Live", η οποία κυκλοφορεί ήδη (από τις 25 Απριλίου 2025). Αποτελείται από οκτώ CDs και (σύμφωνα με το δελτίο τύπου) περιλαμβάνει:

«Six live shows across 8 CDs, ACCESS ALL AREAS: LIVE captures the raw excitement of Whitesnake in full flight, live on stage. Kicking off with LIVE... IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, legendary rock singer David Coverdale is joined by Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach on lead guitar, long time Whitesnake drummer Tommy Aldridge plus Marco Mendoza on bass.

Recorded at London's iconic Hammersmith Apollo in 2004, the set includes the huge MTV hits "Is This Love," "Here I Go Again" and "Still Of The Night." LIVE... IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES on CD2 and CD3 was recorded on their 2006 World Tour, and delves back to Whitesnake's earliest days with "Don’t Break My Heart Again" and "Take Me With You".

MADE IN JAPAN finds the band headlining the huge Loud Park festival in Japan in 2011, across CDs 3 & 4. MADE IN BRITAIN unsurprisingly captures the band on David's home turf whilst on the Forevermore tour in 2011. THE WORLD TOUR was also captured in 2011 on the Forevermore tour, features hits such as "The Deeper The Love," as well as newer stage favorite, "Can You Hear The Wind Blow".

This 8 disc set ends right back where David musical odyssey started, with THE PURPLE TOUR LIVE. Now joined by lead guitarist Joel Hoekstra, Whitesnake power through songs from the earliest days of David’s career with Deep Purple, including "Burn," "The Gypsy," "Mistreated" and "Soldier Of Fortune".»
