Artists
Glenn Hughes – lead vocals
Jon Lord – all instruments (keyboards)
Written by Glenn Hughes & Jon Lord. Produced by Deep Purple & Martin Birch, recorded at Musicland Studios, Munich, between 3 August and 1 September 1975. On the album it runs as one 6:07 track with the instrumental “Owed to ‘G’” (written by Tommy Bolin) on Come Taste the Band (Purple Records/Warner Bros., 7 November 1975).
A slow, jazzy, soul-leaning piece that Glenn Hughes sings entirely himself, one of only two songs where he sings lead on the album, and one where Jon Lord plays every instrument. Hughes has said he recorded the vocal at 2 a.m. alone in the studio with engineer Martin Birch. It leads into “Owed to ‘G’,” an instrumental whose title Lord described as a pun: “owed to” for “ode to,” and “G” for George Gershwin.
Deep Purple – This Time Around Lyrics
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we’ll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lovers we’re not to blame
There’s no mistake there’s no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around you can’t be found
To lose you I’d rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
So look around we all will be found
In love
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we’ll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lover you’re not to blame
There’s no mistake there’s no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around you can’t be found
To lose you I’d rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
To lose you I’d rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
Fly
