One of the great bands of the 1980s, emerging after the end of Deep Purple through vocalist David Coverdale , Whitesnake became a hard rock classic. Much of their fame comes from their romantic and sexually themed songs, with lyrics that weren't always so subtle.
For these reasons, the band is the perfect soundtrack for a romantic night with a happy and spicy ending. In preparation for their tour in Brazil, Wikimetal has prepared a list of the 11 best songs to create that perfect atmosphere. Check it out:
11- “Here I Go Again” – 1987
David Coverdale wrote "Here I Go Again" when he realized the beginning of the end of his first marriage. It's a song about the importance of love and the sadness of wandering through life alone. Great for showing that special someone how important they are in your life.
10- “Slide It In” – Slide It In
Well, you can analyze "Slide It In" in two possible ways. The "sliding" can have a literal sexual meaning or it can mean "diving headfirst" into a relationship and giving all the love the other person needs. It's up to you.
9- “Slow An' Easy” – Slide It In
“Make love to me, slow an' easy” says the lyric, throwing all the subtlety of the previous song out the window. “Slow An' Easy” is exactly that, making love slowly. Coverdale talks about the passion he feels for a woman and about hormones running high.
8- “Slip of The Tongue” – Slip Of The Tongue
The "slip of the tongue" here is about a kiss. Right? Well, "Slip of the Tongue" talks about that moment when you realize you only want one person in your life, one kiss, one love. That person who won you over and is everything to you. And it's about tongues.
7- “Straight For The Heart” – 1987
Look, "Straight For The Heart" is a song about winning someone over. Everyone has fallen in love and planned how to win that person over. The solution Coverdale found was to "go straight for the heart." He even says he's never loved anyone like he loved this woman. Too romantic.
6- “Ready An' Willing” – Ready An' Willing
Some relationships can be traumatic and make you not want to get involved again so soon. The thing is, sooner or later, everyone finds someone with whom they want to share the good and bad moments of life. “Ready An' Willing” marks this transition, the moment when you are ready for love.
5- “Rough An' Ready” – Saint's And Sinners
"Rough An' Ready" could also be called "Looking for Love." David Coverdale is the world's greatest romantic. The flirting has already happened, the parties have become involved, and now you're ready to love. It's impossible to remain indifferent to so much love.
4- “Lonely Days, Lonely Nights” – Come And Get It
It's important to know how to enjoy being alone. Life is also made up of solitary nights where your only companion is your own thoughts, and this helps you put everything into perspective and plan your next steps. Learn to enjoy yourself.
3- “Hit An' Run” – Come An' Get It
Never do that, ever. You're not a rockstar who doesn't care about other people's feelings and runs away the next day. Let's face it, even rockstars shouldn't do that. But a romantic night can also have a playful and adventurous spirit, hence the choice of "Hit An' Run".
2- “Lay Down Stay Down” – Purple Album
"Lay Down Stay Down" is actually a Deep Purple song that Coverdale re-recorded with Whitesnake on the Purple Album . It's perfect for ending a romantic night in the best way possible: lying down. You know when you just want to lie there looking at that person after so much love? That's the idea.
1- “Get Up” – Flesh & Blood
Now, yes. After going to bed, it's always good to get up. "Get Up" is the song of the moment. The perfect ending to a night of great love and romance, that finale that crowns all your effort and achievement. "Let's spend the night together/ Baby, you and I/ We're gonna set the night on fire."
Whitesnake will be performing at Rockfest in São Paulo. Buy your tickets here .
