Lyrics:
High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides, why he's lighter than air
Oh I see his face!
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe
In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?
Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins, while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face!
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
Hey, I believe, I believe
In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
Too many die
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But we don't know why
Ooh, now where do we go
All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound, as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face!
Where was your star?
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave?
We believed, we believed, we believed
In heat and rain
With the whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now, look, look, look, look,
Look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Time is standing still
He gave back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh
Take me back, take me back
Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh - Hudba

This is the highest point that hard rock can reach - lyrically, sonically. A larger-than-life tale 'performed' by larger-than-life musicians. Even a hundred years from now, Stargazer will remain a benchmark. An unattainable peak.
Beautifully stated.
And yet, it was sung by one of the smallest in life rock stars. RIP RJD
@@reginaldsmithers3468im not 100% sure on this, but RJD died in 2010, this says it was remastered in 2011 so it might not be sung by him in this version
@@Mono-eu3so YOU ARE SOOOOO WRONG..THIS IS RONNIE JAMES DIO ON FN VOCALS DUMMY!!!..I HAD THIS ALBUM WHEN IT FIRST WAS RELEASED.. RJD VOCALS
@@Mono-eu3so Hello psychotic, thank you for your input. I am not remotely an expert in anything. That being said, to my knowledge, the remastering of the Rainbow album "Rainbow Rising" (which is the album in question containing the track we are discussing) involved taking what are called "master" tapes, likely are magnetic reel to reel tapes which could be as wide as 2" (for professional use). Being recorded in 1976, these masters would most likely have been strictly analogue recordings. Remastering, in this situation generally involves converting the tracks (music) on the tape to digital. For lack of a better explanation, the folks doing the remastering try to "clean up" the original recording. Possibly they will attempt to get rid of buzz, hiss, or myriad other "imperfections" in the original analogue recording. Remastering in this case is not like situation where Hollywood takes an old classic movie and "reboots" it with some current ass hat actors/actresses. For this reason, I am extremely confident that Ronnie James Dio is the same singer on the "remastered" version of the album "Rainbow Rising. I really like Dio (as I think/hope you do too) and I am saddened that he is no longer alive. Than again, for myself, I would rather die during a time when people thought kind thoughts about me than die when everyone thinks I'm an asshole. I wish you well psychotic. Your interest in Dio pleases me.
October 2023 still as fresh as 1976 what a legend of a song ❤❤
I’ve been waking up and putting this tune on every New Years morning for the past 35 years.
This tune gives you BALLS For the year.........
Lesson # 5
Maybe someday, this song will get it's due reward and be recognized for what it is; a timeless classic of showmanship, imagery, story telling and of course, supreme vocals of Ronnie and playing of Ritchie!
I hear Ya!!! Storytelling and just the outright, upmost, supreme, and utter, growl voice. His showmanship is right up there. I can't get enough of his voice either. Yeah, who's this Ritchie you speak of? lol
This song never will be loud enough for my ears
Nathália Nogueira Rock on, girl!
Right. ...never enough! !
Keep you rockin`!!!
Turn it up loud enough to shake shit off the table

My 14 year old daughter and I just heard this for the first time this month. Holy cow. And she just started listening to 80s hard rock/metal. And now this, something that was before my time. And we were both blown away. And now we listen to it every chance we get, which is on our daily rides to her school.
What a ride!
I think your kid started watching jojo’s bizarre adventure
@@StarPlatinum7912ah yess a fellow jjba fan that travaled across CZcams to hear the song that inspired Akira to make the stand THE WORLD
From 6:40.... Absolutely stratospheric. What a song, album, lineup. Once in a lifetime. Thanks for everything RJD 🙏
if there's one song you would point people to for understanding how heavy metal can be epic, masterful, layered... it's this song.
The ending to this is one of the greatest moments in rock history (along with the epic guitar solo of course). The orchestra kicking in with Dio singing with full emotion, sounding like a freaking god. Gives me chills every time I hear this masterpiece.
So true. The way all comes together in the end, with Dio just going all in with his voice, is chillingly epic!
Very true the emotion gets me all the time. Wish he was still here
...
Every fucking time dude, never fails to give me goosebumps. RIP Dio
And those moments never came back... MTV is today the killer of this glorious músic...
its the last song I listen to before I go to sleep...sheer masterpiece and no one sounds like Ronnie.
First time listener. I just experienced a very unexpected and profound range of emotions and feelings. A true work of art... RIP RJD
For me, the absolute pinnacle of this kind of high-drama rock/orchestral music. I bought this album the day it arrived in Australia and it still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck all these years later. Absolutely epic writing and performance from everyone.
Most underrated song of the 70’s. If not of all time!!
For me this short part it's what Really makes the song.
6:20
"But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now look, look, look, look, look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home"
For me, now that the slave knows that the Wizard has died, and that he can go home, his just trying to make sense of it all, when he asks "*but why, in all the rain, With all the chains, Did so many die, Just to see him fly*" It feels like that the Wizard's deeds were so evil that he (the slave) simply cant se the motivation behind it, why would some one do such a thing?, and so he curses the wizard when he asks for us the listeners to look at his "flesh and bone" and then the wizard's tower, and ask for us to decide if it seems worth it, if in some kinda of twisted and perversed way such evil could ever be justified.
and for me when "he is going home", he's actually dying while gazing at the Stars that could guide him to his land.
This is the most epic hard rock/heavy metal song in history! It is full of power and emotion!
This still gives me goosebumps after all these years.
Who's listening to this EPIC Classic Masterpiece Song in this hard times we're living 2020? Dio always in our Hearts❤🎶🤘. No matter what we always got Rock & Metal!
Everday
Many times per Day
If not you should be!
2021 and still going

@@deenmark101 Nov 21. Dio kills it.
I just can't get over this song. I listen to it for an hour everyday then I face the day.
What's scary over 40 years later... Nobody understood what they had here, simply timeless
Still have my original copy of rising on vinyl
bah i understand exactly! dont put words in my mouth! 🐱🏍🎂
Some of us do. Saw em live in ‘78, been a huge fan ever since.
I did, and never forgot.
@Andy Stone This song is from the Rising album of 1976, 43 yrs.
After so many years it's still epic
NEW RULE: It is now illegal to dislike this song 🚫👮♂️
Dio himself disliked it.
At least we know he was human
Canzone Capolavoro ❤
the drum fills are outstanding on this one
Cozy!
The worst part of this song that it ends!
My replay button is filing charges, the abuse is a bit much.
Lol I always thought it could another 5 mins…. Or more..
The bass gave this song an extra oomph! Such a powerful song.
A complete MASTERPIECE ..
Absolutely phenomenal!
Testing the best stereo I ever owned - and this is one of the first tracks I played.
Memories of riding a bike for half a day to buy the vinyl of this in 1977.
Did I mention I painted this on my bed room wall when I was 13? My mom came in and went wow that’s pretty! I was like yo mom it’s hard rock and she said no it’s a rainbow. And I turned on stargazer in my tape player and she said he’s got a great voice. Mom stepped up in the hero section that day!!! The ultimate line upright here! Long live rock n roll !
Cool mom.
You painted, I got it tattooed.
I discovered this song a couple of years ago while walking back home during the perfect summer day after getting coffee. During the epic strings bit at the end is when the caffeine buzz started kicking in, and rarely have I felt a purer sense euphoria. I've been hooked on this song ever since.
This is absolutely the best song Ronnie James Dio ever recorded, and one of the best heavy rock songs of all time.
Unquestionably. Heaven and hell is fantastic but definitely second, though I prefer temple of the king.
@@z1az285 Please list me all your all time favorite and most impactful songs from your absolutely favorite to less favorite, no matter how long the comment or if it has to be multiple comments, or you can email me a list at any length and as many as you think of to theartismagistra at the g sort of mail if you know which I mean and I'll look into all of them, thank you in advance.
@@aFoxyFox. There are too many 🤣 but Ok, referring to Dio Stargazer, heaven and hell, temple of the king, tarot woman, catch the rainbow, kill the king, light in the black, children of the sea, die young in that order. But I love the mob rules, holy diver, dehumanizer albums plus his live rendering of Mistreated
@@aFoxyFox. I will post another list shortly
@@z1az285 Thank you so much! How about besides Dio or like anyone at all, anyone else that is to you the best of the best, or any songs in particular from any artist which you find the most outstanding to ever be created? I asked you specifically due to your taste and familiarity with music! Thank you so much though already for what you have written and I look forward to more whenever you may have the time! I appreciate it greatly!
One of my all time best rock songs ever...
Top 10 rock song of all time
IMO number 1
Ever...
and Ritchie Blackmore has written or co-wrote more than just two of the top ten RnR tunes ...
I always feel this could be a cool rock opera. 🤷♀️
No1 rock track of all time. Now then future
This song calms my heartache, and my constant suicidal urge.
Hello future listeners finding this masterpiece
We have been here way before and you've been missing a lot.
I keep finding myself coming back to this song Stargazer to hear this masterpiece just one more time!!! Everytime I play it I'm reminded that it wasn't just a song I really liked at a point in time when I was all into hard rock and metal. It is timeless!!! As I get older, that incredible part at the end where Dio pours out his heart vocally for like 5 mins straight, has more of a profound effect on me, to point of getting choked up (My eyes are bleeding, and my heart is leaving hear....I see a Rainbow rising....and I'm coming home........) with those powerful vocals and all those powerful melodies. I can't even imagine how Rainbow felt after they completed the finishing touches of Stargazer in the studio. Some of them probably wondered how they could move on from there and do anything better, ever.
Man, Dio really is the best artist in the World, his songs make me so hungry, I could stop time for a cherry donut and some purple blood wine from a hermit, I could even even wear a platinum suit fly to the stars with a silver chariot, maybe I’ll meet a magician if I fly to a red star, or watch a hierophant deliver a sermon to a fool that will turn him green.
That's quite a bizarre story
Dann Bro thats pretty bizarre
that's so bizarre my friend
And what is also bizarre?
JoJo no kimyo na bouken
one of the top songs of all time
I couldn't tell you when the last time was I heard this song, but I'm so glad I'm here in again! Absolutely perfection! Epic song.
“ I see a rainbow ri---ssssinnngg-gggg”. Wow, it’s epicness has not diminished.... ‘76 to ‘19 ✌️
Masterpiece!!
Understatement
Rainbows epic orcherstal ending to Stargazer made this song the top classic for me and my Rock m8s in the 80’s! And it still sounds epic 40 years odd years on… 😵💫🎸🫨❤
so good it almost hurts.
i remember buying this album when I was 15 it was a great story, worthy of a movie
lolllllllllll
Bare witness to one of the greatest rock voices of all time.RIp Ronny
You can listen over and over and over. Dio the best. 8 minutes full of energy
MYSTIC ! As well as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven ! 😊🎼🎸
Yes, but mostly Wagner
This album is FORTY THREE YEARS OLD..!!! So far ahead of its time..
This is the best song of Rainbow!!!!
I randomly clicked, am not disappointed
A light in the Black? :)
this and Gates of Babylon
@@intellivotion I agree 100%
This is the best rock song ever. Closely followed by Zeppelin's Kashmir
I try to get a lot of my friends in middle school to listen to rainbow because of how badass they are
Keep the Rock Alive my young Headbanger \m/
Amen
That's so cool, but don't just stop at Rainbow. There was so much other fantastic things happening in those good old days.
Deep Purple by no means any less badass than this
@@jpcodnia9133 Deep Purple In Rock is the best introduction !
Dio here is peak music, wow
This song is just so special. Thanks for everything, Ronnie ❤️
❤
Amanda, you are so sweet.
For you, J'm listening "Rainbow eyes" after this song.
👏👏👏
Check out the true dreams from the gates of Horn -look it up.
Amanda Dominguez. Deep Purple also brutal as a band with the same 🎸 guitar virtuoso
The definition of an epic rock song! Dio best vocals of all time!
Indeed Vincent
Most underrated hard rock band ever?
Yes. But that was the greatest hard rock band between 1975 and 1978. Better than Led Zep, Purple, Sabbath, Judas Priest, ......
Pink Floyd (yesssss, not the same music, I know but incredible band) and Rainbow (With Ronnie GOD James ) are my favourite bands. That was the most inventive rock bands of all times.
Could be true as bands go Rainbow don’t get as much notice as they could, why? Some of those early Rainbow song’s were so inspired, even the later commercial ones had some memorable moments.
🌈 best line up: Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Carey, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Bain And Ronald James Padavona...👉 Powell/Bain/Dio. ..R.I.P
Vanei Pontes so sad that 60% of these talented guys have passed on. 😢
shit ,,,,,didn't know Jimmy died,,yeah been living under a rock,,,,wow weird cause a bunch of Jimmy doc recently
An opus,classic and almost symphonic,the vocals,guitar solo,melody,truly out of this world.
Ladies and gentlemen..I give you Mr Cozy Powell..Simply the best..
My eyes are bleeding! Dio will be forever
Listening this you realize your body is not enough space for your soul. Want to break from whips and chain, to see your soul fly
Haven't heard this song in so long. Still the best by Rainbow, 1 of the best I may add! Kicks total ass!
Beautiful.... this master piece is really music, i mean make me feel in other space .
Este disco es excelente, de principio a fin. Stargazer es un dignisimo himno de este CD....Blackmore + Dio...una seleccion de la mejor.....
Wow! Such a masterful performance enhanced so the subtle sounds of the instruments and vocal quality is brought out more and really showcases this epic song with its amazing band members. Long live Rainbow ✌🏽❤
Stargazer, the ultimate masterpiece of hard rock.😊
Rainbow is a very badass band I love most of there songs and Ronnie James dio was a very great one hell of a singer rip Ronnie James dio and this one of my very favorite songs
It's truely remarkable 😍
Rainbow Rising, the best play back rock worked in the world ... The Monsters off rock'n roll 4ever ...
Nelson from Brazil.
Amazing group of amazing musicians! Rainbow was soooo good. Thank you Man in Black once again!!!
Blackmore catmore. He is the black cats meeeooow.
For me the best song ever...
Dio forever in our hearts
A man that knew what the song was all about!! No 1 better than Ronnie James to do that! The song has been called a "morality tale",[6] and its lyrics are written from the standpoint of a "slave in Egyptian times", according to lyricist Ronnie James Dio. They relate the story of the Wizard, an astronomer who becomes "obsessed with the idea of flying" and enslaves a vast army of people to build him a tower from which he can take off and fly.[4]:70 The people hope for the day when their misery comes to an end, building the tower in harsh conditions ("In the heat and rain, with whips and chains; /just to see him fly, too many died"). In the end, the wizard climbs to the top of the tower but, instead of flying, falls down and dies: "no sound as he falls instead of rising. / Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand". The next song, "A Light in the Black", continues the story of the people who have lost all purpose after the Wizard's death "until they see the Light in the Dark", according to Dio. Sadly we have lost a real story teller through his Music!! This is what got me into Hard Rock and Metal (Yes just 2 genres in the 70s & 80s
The greatest song ever put to tape. Perfection!
This song needs to be played more often
I was rocking out to this with my 8 yo on the way to school this morning, and then she asked me to explain what the song was about.
"So...he couldn't really fly?"
"Nope."
"Shouldn't he of tried it by jumping off a chair first?"
😂 😂 🤘
Shouldn't he HAVE (not "of") tried .

I can't tell you how much I love it that you shared this with your daughter.
So brilliant!
I LOVE this
Linda! Maravilhosa! Perfeita! Obra-prima!
Still my all-time favorite song. And will never forget how I found it out. It was like 14 years ago, someone gave me a compilation with Rainbow songs, no names written there, no internet at home, just my PC and the speakers. Loaded it in Winamp and went to have a nap (yes, I like sleeping while listening to rock music) just to wake up when this song started. And since then, it became my favorite.
This song has gotten me through some shitty times in my life. Can't put to words what listening to this feels like.
Damn I heard this when I was a kid in high school it blew me away then and now damn that intro solo by Powell!! Love the B section of this tune and the chord changes are EPIC . My favorite song by Rainbow used to Man on the Silver Mtn but no more . Wow. Also never realized that change before the guitar break is very similar to the end of Kashmir( which is a good thing considering their both in the mideastern veign). 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘.
DIO ❤️ el mejor de todos los tiempos
🤘🤘
Saludos desde Argentina
Wait
DIO Or Dio?
I met this band and Ronnie James Dio with this song. I was 9 years old when i heard this masterpiece, one of my favorite songs ever!
The original vocal was really "dug into" the mix. This is more airy, very nice.
Dio Blackmore Cozy one of best trios EVER!

No one can play guitar that well, not even Hendrix. Hell hounds will be coming for you Ritchie for making that pact.
Excellent observation, and true!!
The goddesses and gods gathered and sent us this music so we would survive and find our way in the days of Kali Yuga. Dio was a genius and connected directly to the hearts of his listeners. He is missed.
Que introdução é essa, Cozy? O senhor não era um humano. Era um alien. Perfeição.
Its truly a blessing and a curse that this type of rock music was recorded and preformed by THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY.

That 24 inches medium 602 ride cymbal. In a drummers term ; spread and wash and overtones just a notch above perfect ! Miss CP , a very very musical drummer.
The sound of that ride is amazing, almost perfect for me
Might be one of the first 2021 comments, will forever be coming back to this particular version. Only added a bit more bass, and thats all we needed for this masterpiece.
Masterpiece.
The last minute of this song is what pure triumphant glory must sound like. If the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima, or an injured Kirk Gibson hitting the game winner in the 88 World Series, or watching the birth of your firstborn son, if any of those things were a sound, it would be the last minute of this song.
I fully agree! !!
La fusión del talento de Blackmore y de Dio hacen de esta placa discográfica una obra de arte y recuerdan un momento irrepetible en la historia del Metal.
Nice enhanced bass and amazing solo sound on this remastered version!
And after... "A light in the black ", yes, another masterpiece
