Child In Time
Deep Purple · Call Hell Or High Water
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the BLIND man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet
Child In Time
Deep Purple's 'Child In Time' stands as a quintessential example of the band's hard rock evolution during the mid-1970s. Featured on the album 'Call Hell Or High Water,' the track showcases the group's signature blend of melodic guitar work and driving rhythms, characteristic of their era. The song reflects the band's transition from their earlier blues-rock roots to a more polished, arena-ready sound that defined their catalogue during this period. As a staple of their discography, it captures the essence of 1970s progressive rock while maintaining the anthemic quality that made Deep Purple a global icon. The recording serves as a testament to the band's ability to craft memorable, high-energy tracks that have endured for decades.
