Graham Bonnet Band - 'Since You've Been Gone' (live video)

I get the same old dreams same time everynight
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup

These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

So in the night
I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon,
He night time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it

Η αποχώρηση του Ronnie James Dio από τους Rainbow το 1978 έφερε και αλλαγή μουσικής κατεύθυνσης στο συγκρότημα του Ritchie Blackmore. Συνοδοιπόροι στην νέα προσπάθεια του Blackmore ήταν αρχικά ο Graham Bonnet και εν συνεχεία ο Joe Lynn Turner που ανέλαβαν το μικρόφωνο.

Η δεύτερη περίοδος των Rainbow ξεκίνησε με τον δίσκο "Down to Earth" που κυκλοφόρησε το καλοκαίρι του 1979. H σύνθεση του Russ Ballard "Since You Been Gone" αποτέλεσε το πρώτο single που "έβγαλε" ο δίσκος (κυκλοφόρησε ως "επτάρι" βινύλιο με το "Bad Girl" στην δεύτερη πλευρά) και ήταν άκρως χαρακτηριστική της νέας (μουσικής) κατεύθυνσης του συγκροτήματος.

Το εν λόγω μουσικό κομμάτι το ακούμε και στο νέο ("ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο) δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Graham Bonnet Band, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Lost In Hollywood Again" και αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα του χειμώνα (5 ή 12 Δεκεμβρίου 2025).

Βλέπουμε και ακούμε τον Graham Bonnet στα φωνητικά, τον Conrado Pesinato στην κιθάρα, την Beth-Ami Heavenstone στο μπάσο, τον Alessandro Bertoni στα πλήκτρα και τον Francis Cassol στα τύμπανα. Η ηχογράφηση - φιλμογράφηση πραγματοποιήθηκε το καλοκαίρι του 2024, με τον Graham σχεδόν 77 ετών!
