Music video description
Uriah Heep is a rock band popular in the 1970s. Considered by many to be one of the most important representatives of progressive rock. A band that is famous for its energetic concerts. The hit song "Lady in Black" is just one of those numbers which works brilliantly in the live version. A catchy melody and something like a "chorus" that the whole audience can hum. What can we say, this number was simply doomed to success!
However, let's reach back in time. "Lady in Black" comes from the album "Salisbury" - released in 1971 - yes, yes - so many years have already passed, and the song is still a hit and has a circle of followers. According to the musicians' comments, the number tells the story of a man who is torn apart by darkness in the face of war. He meets a figure (a goddess) who comforts him and brings relief in this difficult time. Ken Hensley - the song's author - confessed that the song was written after an inspiring visit from the daughter of a country pastor. The musician was in deep depression at the time. Talking to her helped him find inner harmony. Let's listen to the song, which has practically been one of the most recognizable rock hits for half a century.
