THE LONG WAY ROUND As recorded by Deep Purple (From the 2020 Album WHOOSH!) [Intro] N.. [Verse 1] You can’t get me down I got the ’Things are looking up’ blues I know it happens But it never sticks to my shoes It’s been a long time coming I never thought it would last I think about the future Who  knows  what  might have happened  in the past Nothing is real But it feels pretty good all the same I know you from somewhere But I can’t remember your name I don’t need much space But you don’t have to step on my toes I was looking over there And all the time it was under my nose [Chorus] Yeah I should have known Which way the wind was blowin’ I was facing the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Bridge] Never looking the right way Always going the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Keyboard Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Never looking the right way Always going the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Verse 2] You can reel me in slowly and surely But there’s a catch to this deal It’s not over yet I get one more spin of the wheel I promised myself I would not get trashed again But the way I’m feeling right now That promise is going down the drain yeah [Chorus] I I should have known You were coming and I was gone I was facing the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Outro] N.C.

La chanson aborde le sentiment de se retrouver dans une impasse, tout en gardant un certain optimisme. Elle exprime l'idée que même si les choses ne se passent pas toujours comme prévu et que l'on peut parfois emprunter des chemins détournés, il y a une sorte de satisfaction à persévérer. L'artiste évoque des souvenirs flous et la difficulté de rester concentré sur la bonne direction, tout en se rendant compte que parfois, les erreurs sont inévitables. Dans le contexte actuel, cette réflexion sur le voyage de la vie résonne particulièrement, surtout lorsque chacun de nous fait face à ses propres défis. Cette chanson nous rappelle que même si le parcours peut sembler chaotique et que nous pouvons prendre des décisions douteuses, l'important est de continuer à avancer et de garder espoir en l'avenir.
