I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby it just happens evry day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and it has been painted black Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the settin sun My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes Hmm, hmm, hmm,... I wanna see it painted, painted black Black as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah!
For those who missed him last year and also for his fans who cannot get enough of him, here's your opportunity!
A unique and talented acoustic blues performer, Steve White sings, plays the harmonica and his Martin guitar (installed with AER pickup), taps his feet on his custom made floor box, all amplified through his AER Domino acoustic amp. It's always entertaining to watch his unusual performance.
Steve is the ultimate self-contained band, a tornado of synchronous polyrhythms lubricated with viscous swamp funk and propelled by serpentines slides and undulations. Earthy, rural idioms are infused with a worldly sophistication and autoorchestrated with masterful, wary lyrics, engaging vocals, compelling footwork, and mouthharp playing that defies the presumed limitations of a neck brace holder.
His songs document life's journey and the stops along the way, new vistas' around the corner, capturing the images and chance encounters and magical mystery spots. He grew up in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and later studied painting and fine arts in the US.

Progressive rock artists reject the limitations of popular music and aspire to create music for serious listening, often aspiring to the sophistication of jazz and classical music, sometimes incorporating folk and world music influences in as well.
...progressive rock is very much a musician's form of music, designed to be analyzed, studied and appreciated by knowledgeable listeners. Although some progressive rock artists have enjoyed phenomenal success, progressive rock by nature appeals to a more specialized set of listeners than the broader target audiences of popular music.
The major acts that defined the genre in the 1970s are Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) , Rush, Gentle Giant, Supertramp, Van der Graaf Generator and King Crimson.
A rare chance to experience one of rock's most gifted and influential guitar players unleashing his devistating fusion of neo-classical rock, metal and blues in Singapore today at Fort Canning Park. This tour is in support of Yngwie's latest release "Unleash The Fury".
Yngwie Johann Malmsteen's "Unleash The Fury World Tour" also features RISING FORCE with Dougie White on Vocals, Derek Sherinian on Keyboards, Mick Cervino on Bass & Patrik Johansson on Drums. Yngwie J. Malmsteen arrived on LA's Sunset Strip in the early 1980's with little more than a Fender guitar and a spare pair of jeans, yet quickly established his place in guitar history as one of rock's premier virtuoso guitarists. Along with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, and a handful of others, Yngwie has dominated the world of solo guitar for two decades. Yngwie created a guitar sound and approach that is totally unique and different from any other rock guitarist. An ear-searing blend of metallic bombast and classical beauty. He has elevated classical chops to new heights, adding a distinctive European stamp. Both enchantingly dark-sounding and blindingly fast. His 1984 album, "Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force," established neo-classical melodic rock.
A legend in both style and technique, Yngwie's long career reached new heights when his totally classical work for orchestra and solo electric guitar, "Concerto Suite," was released, proving that his classical credentials were genuine. A respected musician among both his peers and his fans, Yngwie continues to play and compose at a level of mastery that many career musician only dream of.
UHLI is thrilled to release some more UnXpected Videozzz!
A modified version of "Money for Nothing" which came into existence one fine evening in Wala when RL was singing the song along with the UnXpected, knowingly or unknowingly as - "I want my M P Three" :) He was spotted by the sharp drummer - Brandon who improvised the song further. The most recent version of this song includes some, or all of the following: I want my M P Three I want my PAP I want my SDP I want my MTP I want my ATP I want my CTP I want to watch TV...
