Mike Tramp - 'Cherokee' (official lyric video)
You were wild and you were free
You were sons of destiny
But the white man came and took your land away
You were fire you were flame
You were blood inside thy vein
How he brought you pain the day he came to stay
I hear you howling through the night
The wind is cold the moon is like Flame
The cry of sorrow brings the light
And wakes a vengeance in your heart
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your spirit lives forever
You were young but you were wise
You were smoke that always rise
How they put you down and spat upon your name
You were snow and you were rain
You were one without a chain
But they changed your life and gave you all the blame
The sound of thunder breaks the ice
Ten thousand riding side by side
The time has come to end the fight
For their freedom for their right
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your spirit lives forever
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your freedom lasts forever
The fire burns tonight
We all recall the fight
Where blood were shed without a reason
Two hundred years have passed since he stood on shore
And raped your land down to the core
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your spirit lives forever
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your freedom lasts forever

Στο δεύτερο μισό της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα άρχισε να κυριαρχεί (εμπορικά τουλάχιστον και ως προς την απήχηση στην νεολαία) στην αντίπερα όχθη του Ατλαντικού (ΗΠΑ) ένα παρακλάδι του "σκληρού" ήχου πιο mainstream [με pop / FM rock (ή AOR) καταβολές και glam - φανταχτερές εμφανίσεις] "παραμερίζοντας" (κι εν τέλει επηρεάζοντας σε κάποιο βαθμό - είτε συνθετικά, είτε εμφανισιακά) σε μεγάλο βαθμό και τον πιο παραδοσιακό (metal) ήχο.
Μία από τις μπάντες που ξεχώρισαν εκείνη την περίοδο ήταν και οι White Lion. Δημιουργήθηκαν το 1983 και κυκλοφόρησαν τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους μέχρι και την (προσωρινή) διάλυσή τους το 1992. [Επανήλθαν το 1999, κυκλοφόρησαν άλλα δύο full length albums και διαλύθηκαν (οριστικά;) το 2013.]
Ο (τραγουδιστής και εκ των κιθαριστών της μπάντας) Mike Tramp κάνει "βουτιά" σε εκείνη την περίοδο. Πρόπερσι (Απρίλιος 2023) κυκλοφόρησε δίσκο με τον άκρως χαρακτηριστικό τίτλο "The Songs Of White Lion" και στα τελειώματα του περασμένου καλοκαιριού (Αύγουστος 2024 "βγήκε" ο διάδοχός του ("Songs Of White Lion Vol. II").
Προ των πυλών βρίσκεται (και) το τρίτο μέρος ("Songs of White Lion Vol. III"). Αποτελείται από δέκα τραγούδια και αναμένεται στα μέσα του πρώτου φθινοπωρινού μήνα. Το ενημερωτικό δελτίο τύπου μας δίνει όλες τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Mike Tramp, the unmistakable voice and songwriter behind White Lion, concludes his heartfelt trilogy with Songs of White Lion Vol. III - a powerful and personal tribute to his own legacy of one of the most iconic bands of the ‘80s melodic hard rock scene.
With this third and final chapter, Tramp revisits and reimagines ten more essential tracks from the White Lion catalog, faithfully re-recorded with the energy, maturity, and authenticity that only a lifetime of experience can bring.
Joining him once again are his trusted current bandmates Marcus Nand (guitar), Claus Langeskov (bass), and Morten Hellborn (drums), who bring a fresh yet respectful approach to these timeless songs.
From the raw intensity of "Fight To Survive" to the dramatic storytelling of "Warsong" and the infectious groove of "Radar Love," this collection is both a celebration and a reawakening - offering long-time fans a new way to connect with the music that defined a generation.
“Songs of White Lion Vol. III” is more than a greatest hits revisit - it’s the final chapter of a personal musical journey that brings the past into the present with integrity, passion and renewed fire.»
