1025 Hawkwind - Zarozinia

1025 Hawkwind - Zarozinia

I was up to the wee hours of the morning listening to the music of Hawkwind and Dave Brock. For some reason I kept being pulled to the music from The Chronicle of the Black Sword album; this love song in particular got a lot of replay. It is a very beautiful song with deep lyrics featuring mostly keyboards and vocals with various sound effects and some guitar as well.
To those who are not aware, this album and its songs are based on Michael Moorcock's series of fantasy novels about Elric of Melniboné. The album's title itself is a reference to the main character, Elric's black sword: Stormbringer. From what I understand the name of the band itself, Hawkwind, is derived from another one of Moorcock's characters: Dorian Hawkmoon.
