Positive (to me anyway) song about being alone

Post Reply New Topic

One of my favorite songs from what I call "the dusk of heavy metal", in the early 90s when most of the famous metal bands of the 80s put out their last great works (IMHO). "I" is off Black Sabbath's 1992 album Dehumanizer. As you might judge from the cover art, Dehumanizer was one of the last rock albums that was skeptical of technology. (Look up the song "Computer God", which was a big hit in 1992, and you will see what I mean.) The person who posted the song a few years ago was helpful enough to include the lyrics, click "SHOW MORE" on the first comment. As opposed to songs like Metallica's "Unforgiven" that bemoaned the plight of the societal outcast, "I" actually lionizes such people. "Ride together/Don't try it/The power's in one"; "On the edge of the blade/But the knife can't cut the hero down". Really a little known gem of a song-I think most buyers of the CD primarily wanted to listen to "Computer God" which was the first single and which was widely played on the radio.
