abstract
  • %22Lady in Black%22 is a song by the rock band Uriah Heep. It is the fourth track of their 1971 album Salisbury.The song is credited to Ken Hensley. 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. There were many b-sides for this song as a single. The most famous was %22Simon the Bullet Freak%22 but %22Bird of Prey%22 has also been the b-side for the song. In 1981 the band released a single in Germany and in Netherlands and the b-side was %22Easy Livin'%22. The song was written in the key of A Minor.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 %22Lady in Black%22: a philosophical parable that tells us that evil cannot be overcome by evil itself. The song is Uriah Heep's most %22listened to%22 song on Last.fm with more than 15,000 hits.
