fun fact: *this is the most underated band i ever seen*

[michelelewis]

The more I listen to Blackmores night the more I fall in love with these songs like that were written for me

[sabawalid]

The 'man in black' is always majestic

[stuball]

I don't know why it took me so long to discover BN, because I'm a fan of Blackmore. But I'm totally smitten by Candice. The medieval old English sound along with Blackmore is really different and wonderful.

[elenka.svaliva]

Only Ritchie can get this tone and sound from stratocaster!👍

[kavikv.d.hexenholtz]

One of my favourite songs as well. The melody is 'Cantiga 353' by King Alfonso X "The Wise" of Castile (1224-1281).

[bobybobbyjr]

This is probably my favorite song by this band. It's so good, I love it!

The first time I ever listened to this song, it was on Halloween, so I've made it tradition to listen to it on Halloween night. Just makes everything so much cozier after a night of trick-or-treating.

[MrFuchs]

I play this wonderful piece each Halloween/Samhain midnight sharp.

Lyrics:
I stood out here once before
With my head held in my hands
For all that I had known of this place
I could never understand...

On the hills the fires burned at midnight
Superstition plagued the air
Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight
The stars are out and magic is here...

I wished on the seven sisters
Bring to me wisdom of age
All that's locked within the book of secrets
I longed for the knowledge of the sage...

On the hills the fires burned at midnigth
Superstition plagued the air
Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight
Stars are out and magic is here
The stars are out and magic is here...

So, the sisters smiled to themselves
And they whispered as they shone
And it was from that very instant
I knew I would never be alone...

While on the hills
The fires burned at midnight
Superstition plagued the air
Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight
Stars are out and magic is here
The stars are out and magic is here...

Many stars were long forgotten
Many faded and became ghosts
Still my sisters glittered down from heaven
Always there when I neede them most...

And on the hills the fires burned at nidnight
Superstition plagued the air
Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight
Stars are out and magic is here
The stars are out magic is here...

I stood out here once before
With my head held in my hands
For all that I had known of this place
I could never understand

On the hills the fires burned at midnight
Superstition plagued the air
Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight
Stars are out and magic is here
The stars are out magic is here
The stars are out magic is here
The stars are out magic is here

[LoesungFeuer]

Fun fact: this isnt underrated, because those people who *deserve* to know it... Know it.

[tydeuskero]

This song is absolutely amazing. The music is relaxing, but also spirited. The voice is sweet and soft. The text is enigmatic and perfectly fits to the music and voice. 10/10.

[oakclarke]

Oh MY. This was the first Blackmore's Night song I ever heard.
And thus started an addiction...

[skiptowne]

They seem like a great couple. Though in almost every picture of them Candice is always smiling and Ritchie always looks like he just got off the phone with the IRS.

[williammakela]

I hope he has one more Rainbow album in him! Its been nearly 30 years since Stranger in us All. Come on Blackies, 1 more

[adiabatka]

Years ago, I found my true self thanks to this song!

[lorenzocapitani]

For this planet it is another beautiful song! Supersition and the pursuit of power! The secrets of wisdom and Virtue!

[Khazz]

One of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard

[mircopoletto]

2023 waiting to light epiphany bonfire and listening at this powerful song. Simply magic!

[artonjr]

Very good.
Curious fact: this melody comes from a medieval song Rei Afonso X ‘El Sábio’ - Cantigas de Santa Maria - Santa Maria Strela do Dia (cantiga n 100 or 353)

[ErtixPoke]

Listening it during sunrise is very calming.
