MIKE TRAMP lebt derzeit von seiner Vergangenheit und so verkündet sein Label heute den geplanten Release “Songs of White Lion — Vol. III“ für den 19. September. Dazu passend ist die heute ein Clip für die Neuauflage, des 1983 entstandenen, White Lion Songs `Cherokee` online gegangen.
MIKE schreibt:
„Revisiting `Cherokee,‘ one of the first songs Vito Bratta and I wrote in 1983, was so amazing, I always loved that song, and the new version only confirms what a great song it still is.
For me, the point of re-recording the old classic White Lion songs was all about letting the audience know HOW the band would sound if they come to see us live. Bringing the sound up today and away from a world no more. When I started with ‚Vol. I‘ I must admit, I never thought I’d do ‚Vol. II‘ and now ‚Vol. III.‘ But having done it all now, makes all the more sense to me. If I have to be active playing White Lion in 2025 and onward, there’s got to be a natural progression in every way. That is exactly what this Trilogy is all about.“

Lyrics:
You were wild and you were free
You were sons of destiny
But the white man came and took your land away
You were fire you were flame
You were blood inside thy vein
How he brought you pain the day he came to stay
I hear you howling through the night
The wind is cold the moon is like Flame
The cry of sorrow brings the light
And wakes a vengeance in your heart
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your spirit lives forever
You were young but you were wise
You were smoke that always rise
How they put you down and spat upon your name
You were snow and you were rain
You were one without a chain
But they changed your life and gave you all the blame
The sound of thunder breaks the ice
Ten thousand riding side by side
The time has come to end the fight
For their freedom for their right
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your spirit lives forever
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your freedom lasts forever
The fire burns tonight
We all recall the fight
Where blood were shed without a reason
Two hundred years have passed since he stood on shore
And raped your land down to the core
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your spirit lives forever
Cherokee running free
You ride into the sky
Where your freedom lasts forever
