Dear friends, here’s the 4th single and videoclip taken from Supersonic Revolution’s first album
‘Golden Age of Music’. I’ll explain what the lyrics are about!
Album sleeves were always so important for me back then in the original days of vinyl LPs! I bought a lot of albums just because of the cover art. And my absolute favourite design company was the mighty Hipgnosis team. Their head man was called Storm Thorgerson, which explains the wordplay on ‘Storm’ in the song title. These lyrics talk about four of my favourite Hipgnosis sleeves: obviously Led Zeppelin’s ‘Houses Of The Holy’ and Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, two of the most iconic front covers of all time. The other two are not as well known: ‘Electric Warrior’ by T. Rex (the first album I ever bought) and UFO’s ‘Phenomenon’. Incidentally, I only discovered years later that on the UFO cover the guy is throwing a hubcap in the air and the lady is sneakily photographing it as if it were a real UFO!
Hope you enjoy the music and this very cool clip made by David Letelier! Please let us know in the
comments below.
Hugs from Holland,
Arjen.

They Took Us By Storm Lyrics:
ghostly children climb that
stony mountainside and
my heart began to race
anticipation
white beam of light dividing
through that prism shining
i knew i could relate
inspiration - imagination
when it all seemed lifeless
they gave us timeless
they took us by storm
when art was dying
their minds were flying
they took us by storm
a warrior radiates a
strange electric glow and
a new age had begun
such a sensation
they made a hubcap fly in
that psychedelic sky, yes
this had to be the one
innovation – no limitation
when artists were ailing
and we needed saving
they took us by storm
when designs were soulless
and it all seemed hopeless
they took us by storm
