Deep Purple is a British rock group, and is also the name of a song composed by Peter De Rose, from which the band borrowed its name. They are considered to be heavy metal/hard rock pioneers together with Led Zeppelinand Black Sabbath. Formed in 1967, Deep Purple's early output ranged from pure pop (such as their cover of "Hush") to strongly classically influenced pieces (such as "April", from their third album). Their first few albums contained incredibly long solos including songs such as "Hey Joe" and "I'm So Glad" with a long solo before they even began their lyrics. Some classic anthems have come from that era of Deep Purple though, including songs such as "Anthem" and "Shield" which set the bar for some very influential songs.

CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA
Album recorded by DEEP PURPLE
With the ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
At the Royal Albert Hall, September 24th, 1969
Album released December 1969
Unlike every other Deep Purple album released, this album has
very few lyrics to transcribe. The only lyrics that are sung
throughout the whole concerto appear in the second movement, and
were probably ad-libbed. They are:
How can I see the light has gone out
How can I hear when you speak so silently
More than enough is never too much
Hold out a hand - I'm so out of touch
You want to feel as your heart would have you do
Looks on my head cannot get the message through
So that my hand can cut through
Peace in my heart can suffer too
What shall I do when they stand smiling at me
Look at them all and be so cool, oh so cool
How shall I know when to start singing my song
What shall I do when they all go by
What shall I do...
