the Deep Purple song

"Child in Time" is a song by English rock band Deep Purple, released on their fourth studio album, Deep Purple in Rock in 1970. It is the longest track on the album, running over ten minutes. The song's lyrics are loosely inspired by the Cold War.

Ian Gillan said that the organ riff in "Child in Time" is based on It's a Beautiful Day's 1969 song "Bombay Calling". Gillan is quoted as saying that the song was created "using the Cold War as the theme", adding "the words came easily because we were all aware of the nuclear threat looming over us at what was probably the height of the Cold War." With themes of war and inhumanity, the song is regarded as a heavy metal anthem and an example of art rock. A staple of the Deep Purple live concerts in 1970–73 and later after their initial reunion tours of 1985 and 1987–88, the song was not featured regularly at concerts after 1995. It was re added to the setlist for the band's 2002 European tour, with its final appearance in Deep Purple's live set was at Kharkov's Opera Theatre's scene in March of that year. A live version appeared on the 1972 live album Made in Japan. Other live versions can be found on the Scandinavian Nights/Live in Stockholm live album, recorded in September 1970 and the BBC recordings released as Deep Purple In Concert. Gillan also featured a live jazz influenced version of the song in his Ian Gillan Band project of the late 1970s on Live at the Budokan album. A shortened version, with vocals by Candice Night and preceded and followed by their instrumental "Mond Tanz", appeared on the Blackmore's Night album The Village Lanterne.
