Hello friends of the Hive Music Zone community, my name is Rico, this community is very amazing, more and more talented talents are bringing their songs to this community. This is one of the songs that I really like, every time I sing this song I get nostalgic for the past, I really like it and of course many people also like this song, this song is very old school and has a good version for many people around the world.

a little explanation about the song that I will bring, this time I will bring a song from Deep Purple the Title is "Smoke on the Water", this song is an iconic song by the rock band Deep Purple, released in 1972 on the album Machine Head. The song is known for its simple yet recognizable guitar riff, played by Ritchie Blackmore.

The song's lyrics relate a true event that Deep Purple experienced while they were in Montreux, Switzerland, to record an album in a casino. During a Frank Zappa concert at the venue, someone in the audience set off a flare gun, causing a massive fire that destroyed the building. From their hotel window, the members of Deep Purple saw smoke billowing over Lake Geneva, which inspired the song's title, Smoke on the Water.

Although initially considered just an album filler song, Smoke on the Water has become one of the most legendary rock songs of all time. The song has been listed as one of the Greatest Guitar Riffs by many music media and continues to be played by guitar fans around the world. With its easy-to-play but powerful riff, the song has become a symbol of classic rock music and solidified Deep Purple's position as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Lyrics

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
We didn't have much time now
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
(Smoke) on the water, you guys are great
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out the ground now
When it all was over
Find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Burn it down
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
The Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Huh, making our music there now
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
(I can't hear anything)
