Waiting for a Sign

I’ve been listening to the newest single of Rainbow so many times the past few days and I just can’t get bored of it. I love that Blackmore is back in his full glory in making rock music, too. And for me the fact that the intro reminds me of the sound of Stranger In Us All only makes it better.

His signature style is strongly showing - as always - plus there is that possibility that he went back to the last album or that he kept this particular sound is awesome. What makes it even better is that it is not the same, it is there but it’s different again. It’s STILL different.

I can’t get bored of this musician.
