Deep Purple - Child in Time (Live HD 1970 BBC TV show) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Buy On Amazon ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Keyboard - Jon Lord, Drums - Ian Paice, Guitar - Ritchie Blackmore, Vocal - Ian Gillan, Bass - Roger Glover “Child in Time“ is a song by the English rock band Deep Purple. A protest song against the Vietnam War, it is featured on the band's 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock and runs over 10 minutes. “Child in Time“ is an essentially simple composition, featuring an organ intro, three power chords, and a two minute long solo. Lyrically dark, vocalist Ian Gillan utilizes his wide vocal range and goes from quiet singing to loud, high-pitched, banshee-esque screaming. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore comes in with a slow solo, which builds up to a fast-pace playing and then ends abruptly, with the whole song cycle starting over again. Blackmore is normally associated with playing a Fender Stratocaster, however, he played a Gibson ES-335 on the studio version of the song. Child in Time Lyrics: Sweet child in time you'll see the line The line that's drawn between 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 Bow your head Wait for the ricochet I wanna hear you scream Sweet child in time you'll see the line The line that's drawn between, 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 Bow your head Wait for the ricochet I gotta hear you scream Oh, god, oh, no don't, oh, ain't gonna do it, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
