Kenneth William David Hensley (born 24 August 1945) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, best known for his work with Uriah Heep during the 1970s. He wrote or co-wrote the majority of Uriah Heep's songs during this period, including the hit singles "Lady in Black" (on which he sang lead vocals), "Easy Livin'" and "Stealin'", as well as "Look at Yourself", on which he also sang lead vocals, and "Free Me". "Lady in Black" appears in Uriah Heep's album Salisbury (1971). The song is credited to Ken Hensley who covered this song on his album "The Wizard's Diary" in 2004 and the version about 8 minutes long while the original is no longer than 4 minutes and 44 seconds. It tells the story of a man wandering through war-torn darkness and encountering a goddess-like entity who consoles him. It is often praised, by fans and critics alike, as Hensley's most poetic work to date.A brief comment on the cover of the original vinyl release commented that for Ken Hensley inspiration was a real case: a surprise visit to his daughter's rural vicar at a moment when he was in very depressed state. The result of this meeting, and - some kind of insight - was the song "Lady in Black": a philosophical parable that tells us that evil cannot be overcome by evil itself. The song is Uriah Heep's most "listened to" song on Last.fm with more than 15,000 hits. http://ken-hensley.com Lyrics: She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking And destruction lay around me, from a fight I could not win She asked me name my foe then, I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or God And I begged to give me horses, to trample down my enemies So inner was my passion to devour this waste of life But she would not think of battle that.. reduces men to animals So easy to begin and yet impossible to end For she the mother of all men, did councel me so wisely then, I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay "Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side" "Have faith and trust in me" she said and filled my heart with life There is no strength in numbers, I've no such misconception But when you need me be assured I won't be far away Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear My labour is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day And if one day she comes to you, drink deeply from her words so wise Take courage from her as your prize.. and say hello for me.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Notes by deep46blue for Friends, Artists, Composers, Photographers, Videomakers: ✔ If you would like to submit your track, visual or any else art for promotion. ✔ If you want to add any kind of information which belongs to the video (audio or visual) ✔ If you have any issues regarding any of the videos.
