Today we are looking at what can only be described as the heart and soul of one man. We see world-renowned guitarist, songwriter and all round musician Ritchie Blackmore giving life to a song that will hopefully bring strength to the City of Manchester after recent events.
Bringing together a collection of emotions and pride we see the band take a very strong and very memorable stance on this iconic song. They bring it to life in such a way that it melds together the use of both electric and acoustic guitars. We see the musical talents of Ritchie Blackmore in new light as he creates a new arrangement of this well-known track.
“Land of Hope and Glory” is truly something that hits the heart strings and as you hear each and every line you get this sense that there is a more emotional but very strong spirit taking lead and within this very track we are given just what we need – an uplifting but familiar song that helps us to where our strength lies.
Ritchie Blackmore has not only revived Rainbow but in many ways has revived the spirits and strength of a nation with this song, and as such it brings together the very definition of what rock music is all about: standing together as one, always strong, always loved, always a United Kingdom.
