![]() ![]() The lyrics are also very emotional and full of hope – it’s all about how strong a man’s love can be… His voice is just so full of soul…it takes my breath away. The song and as a matter of fact the whole album, are a little bit different than their original sound from the early 80s, however I still enjoy listening to it – especially this song. It’s a very melodic and a bit more dynamic and it happens to be one of my favourite (power) ballads of all time. The last song from my selection comes from Whitesnake’s 1989 album “Slip of the Tongue” and it’s called “The Deeper the Love”. ‘Cos I don’t think I can take anymore” Only My Soul P.S You can check out my previous publication in which the song was also included : – Greatest (Power) Rock Ballads Of The 80s As much as I love Tina, this song just fits him and the band so perfectly that I just can’t imagine anyone else singing it… Interesting fact, David was asked to think of some ideas for a new Tina Turner song and that’s when he came up with “Is This Love”…Anyhow, I’m glad they kept the song for themselves. The music video is also very distinctive and “very 80s”. It is a beautiful and very well-written song. The song was released in 1987 from their self-titled album and quickly reached number 2 in the USA charts. It is indeed probably the first song that comes to everyone’s mind when we think about Whitesnake. Not to mention that they owe a lot of their success and public recognition to this breathtaking power ballad. I just had to include this song which also happens to be one of the perfect examples of 80s power ballads. In the spirit of the upcoming Valentine’s Day, I thought it’s a good time to think about love and what better way to do it, than listen to this outstanding artist pouring his soul out into the music… Also, I hope my readers can be reminded of some of those classics from back in the day. In order to celebrate my love for Whitesnake’s (power) ballads and David’s brilliant vocal deliveries, I came up with this idea of collecting 5 of my favorite Whitesnake love songs. I’m not sure I can find the right adjectives to describe David’s voice but I find his singing very sensual and his voice is definitely one of those “mysterious” and “smoky” voices that captivate your soul immediately. However, among all, the ballads are my ultimate favorites – even after so many years of listening, I always get these feelings and emotions each time I play power ballads such as “Looking for Love” or “Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City”. Of course, being a huge Whitesnake fan, I love pretty much each and every song of theirs. ![]() His voice is perfectly designed for a rock ballad and I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but the moment he starts singing about love, I completely melt down. To me, David has the perfect voice for rock ballads and every time I hear him perform those heartbreaking love songs, I get goosebumps. I’ve listened to many rock ballads, performed by many rock musicians such as Warrant, Poison, Foreigner, etc., however none of those ballad songs have influenced me the way Whitesnake’s ballad songs have. ![]() The reason is called David Coverdale – who happens to be one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. To me personally, they are the kings of power ballads and there’s a reason behind it. When I think about power ballads of the 80s, probably the first band name that comes out of my mind is Whitesnake. Characterized with sensual lyrics, hard rock sound and a strong vocal delivery, the power ballads of the 80s appealed to many people and turned into a huge and unforgettable trend (that of course brought a lot of money)… I am sure many of you guys will agree with me when I say that those songs, usually performed by glam rock bands, are so influential, possess such a special aura and are even “magical”. A huge portion of my music library is dedicated to power ballads of the 80s (and ballads in general). ![]()
