Since You've Been Gone

Uh, noooo. This isn't a tribute to the Kelly Clarkson ditty of the same name. Besides, she misspelled the greater portion of her song title.
This is actually a little song that I found whilst watching vh1's top 100 hard rock songs last night. The band was only together for a short time, like most rock bands. They just can't help but fall apart. Fortunately, they leave some good music behind. I think my roommates were a little surprise, perhaps a little scandalized that I actually like hard rock. Well, not all of it, but a large majority.
"It doesn't seem like you"
Well, surprise!
I think I like it so much because secretly, I want to be outrageous too and rock bands get to be outrageous for me.

So, back to this song. It's called "Since you've been gone" by Rainbow.
Yes, I was surprised too that there was a band called Rainbow. Like I mentioned before, it didn't last long.
But, it's catchy.
And I cannot stop listening to it.
So I decided to share.

Lyrics (for you textual learners out there)

Whhooaa, whhooaa, whhooaaaa

I get the same old dreams, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the break-up

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the back street light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poisoned letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since you been gone

[INTERLUDE]

If you will come back
Baby you know
You'll never do wrong

Huhhhhh

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Ever since, you been gone

[GUITAR SOLO]

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Since you been gone, since you been gone

[FADE]
