"Circle of hands, cold spirits plan, Searching my land...for an enemy! Came across...love's sweet cost, and in the face of beauty, evil was lost!" What a stanza! I could teach a master class on this guy's lyrics! I'm not a musicologist but I'd like to have a go at teaching the proper compositional accompaniment to these words, setting the perfect mood to such words! The sinister elements, "Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies, black from their cold hearts, down to their graves" juxtaposed with the hopeful struggle, "we must keep them away, or pretty soon we'll pay, and count the cost in sorrow, sacrifice...the future has its price, and today is only yesterday's tomorrow!" This song has it all and these guys are MASTER storytellers! Instrumentation, vocals and words!
Today is only yesterday's tomorrow... Best lyric ever! Uriah Heep is my favorite band. Discovered them at a yard sale at age 10 in 1984 buying 6 of their albums for 25 cents a piece. Been hooked ever since 37 years later!!
Nice discovery at that yard sale. You got me by 20 years. I'm 59 and saw these guys twice.....in the 70s but I never really knew how amazing they were till now. They always came on stage as a front band for the corporate headline....nudge or AC DC or judas priest like that....but these guys are the most prolific rock band in history. And the most beautiful ever...... I just figured this out. I'm 59...so.....I guess it's never too late ......this is the most beautiful rock I've ever heard. I play drums and can't wait to play to this....if I can....
Living in San Diego fortunate enough to see them more than once, open seating my friend had to be up front so there we were , it was great, I think we got one of Mick box guitar picks a small Hoffner
I discovered them at age 17 and still listening to them today. Aged 74. Seen them 3 times. First time was 1974. Front Row seats at Festival Hall, Melbourne Australia. I have all their albums. I have a history book that I’m trying to sell before I kick the bucket and my kids put it in the bin. If you know of anyone interested. Terry. From OZ.
The first LP I got for Christmas was Uriah Heep Live. I still listen to it. I played keyboard in a band from Wiesbaden and we opened for Uriah Heep Concert in Lahnstein on April 7, 1987 - it was the greatest thing ever
I saw Heep in Darmstadt in 84 and 86 and again in Cincinnati in 86 and circa 2010. Great band. Congratulations to you and your band. Hell, who knows I might have seen you in Germany. I was there 81 to 87 and was good friends with a local Darmstadt band YOURS.
Music like this is sadly not anymore. The lyrics, the harmonies, the melody all beautifully intwined making a masterpiece of classic timeless progressive rock. The vocal Melody’s put bands such as Queen to shame though I’m not a Queen fan at all. The soaring guitar compliments Mr. Byron’s vocal Melody’s beautifully. Mr Hensley is a master composer and his keyboards and organ are classic. I’m a big progressive rock fan and this would be modern along with classic periods. Nothing made today has that creative original quality like Byron era Heep.
Era como dizia um grande amigo meu que me ensinou a distinguir o que era música de qualidade e música comercial, que Deus o tenha em conta, obrigada**LARAMI**
I don’t know about putting Queen to shame. That’s quite a statement. Don’t get me wrong though Heep is one of the best bands and it seems like they have been forgotten about.
F#%ing insane and beautiful music from an era long gone... I heard this tune as a youngster living overseas in Greece, my older brothers all had kickass old school stereos, lol. Those old stereo systems were BAD@$$, the very best sound systems available back in the day... and tunes like THIS sounded SO F#%ING GOOD while cranked on these systems, lol. I was lucky to have seven older brothers who ALL dug rock & roll, yeah?
Even Jon Lord or Ted Neally would weep to have thought of this organ.... its true.....we just never knew how powerful the non, corporate music was.... These guys never went corporate...so we never heard them on the corporate radios....the greatest music NEVER HEARD....
I grew up in St. Louis so I had K-SHE. I heard this stuff all the time. I honestly thought Uriah Heep was much more popular than they actually were. However, they were HUGE in Continental Europe! Germany, Ugoslavia (at the time) Sweden. Countries like these kept them going all through the times when they were Luke warm in the States or even their home country of Great Britain. I have become grateful to K-SHE radio and the other album rock oriented stations in the country.
somehow reminds me of "Watcher of skies" Intro. That was actually in the same year but Genesis used Mellotron and Uriah Heep probably the Hammond organ. th-cam.com/video/2agWXrNJGjg/w-d-xo.html btw crazy year 1972 with Heeps "Demons and Wizards", Genesis "Foxtrot" and Yes "Close to the edge" only to mention few.
Now we have lost all of this lineup except for the exceptional Mick Box. The most recent was Ken Hensley, the mastermind behind those great lyrics as those in this song!
@Египетский Кот Цензор. Действительно, Дэвид Гаэррэк (Байрон) обладал потрясающе - завораживающим, порой мистическим Голосом, с которым он шикарно раскрылся в Магическом проекте ,,Сказочный Герой", под названием Rock Band «Uriah Heep», где он вместе с Кенном Хенсли и другими музыкантами Группы, создавал и воплащал композиции-шедевры, и поэтому поправу входит в кагорту лучших Рок-Вокалистов мировой Рок-Культуры !!! Светлая Память !
sheer artistry. I play this all time in my car, try it some time heheh. goes great as you're zooming down the expressway. you'll never see lyrics like this album ever again and it's already been proven as this was 1972?? when were all mere children.
Born in 68. I have been paralized by the 7"s turning on the players and the LP covers shocked me in swinging city of Lübeck. Then the 80s brought them back as I was a teeny dancing to their rockballads in "bad" Segeberg where I started to make Super - 8 movies. This is excellent music coming in the state of the art sound now during covid into my ears via TH-cam for artists messaging. I am so glad listening to it. Thank you for this. Uriah Heep have always done their own soundtrack for the individual movie in the listeners heads, the funny german trendexpression "Kopfkino" fits to it. Hey! Rock on! thx
You not kidding.me?.... I saw these guys in 77 at reno livestock center....for Ted nudgent....they brought the house down.....Ted was just a ticket seller....I never knew till now how AMAZING this band is.....it took me 40 years to figure it out.......I'm just now starting to realize how powerful they are.....well.......its never too late.....this band is the greatest rock band ever created....its only now at 59 yrs old that I finally discovered what I missed in the 70s..... This band speaks to me..... They are pure Majick....rock, blues and classical all in one.... Who knew?.... .. pure majick..
There were so many alternative versions of the songs off the Demons and Wizards album. They logged so many hours in the studio so we can listen to the magic of Uriah Heep at their peak. The 2017 extended version is over 2 hours in length. The best lineup and album of Uriah Heep rivals anything from the era. When it comes to magic, mystical hard rock music and lyrics, Uriah Heep is second to none. Byron, Hensley, Thain, Box and Kerslake. Great lineup.
And amazingly, the slide is even better, more "matured" and dynamic when Ken played it for "The Magician's Birthday Party" reunion / DVD. By the end, Bernie Shaw is just blown away...

Verdadeira obra prima do rock,irrepreencivel,perfeicao musical
Bought this for the Wizard and loved the rest. This here is my favorite song on the album.
The roar of ken Hensley hammond B3 in the begining sends chills to this day. Byron’s lyrics and vocals unprecedented. Greatest ever
Byron didn't write these lyrics; they were written by Hensley (as were most of the more poetic lyrics).
❤yes
Hensley also does the slide guitar solo.

I have been listening to this song since the 70's ! It's one of my favorites besides led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd!!!
The coolest opening to a song. EVER. Most bands would have given their nuts to have thought of this.
Even Jon Lord or Ted Neally would weep to have thought of this organ.... its true.....we just never knew how powerful the non, corporate music was....

That final slide guitar motif is lovely, with that piano above it... Just lovely. I believe Hensley played the slide guitar
In the ever- expanding circle of bands , Uriah Heep will always be at my centre.....with only a handful of others

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land for an enemy
Came across love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost
Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts, down to their graves
Murdered the dawn, spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun of which love was born
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow
We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Perfeição!!
Perfection!!
