Phil Mitchel Band - White Horse Rider
Release Date: Noveber 14, 2015
Length: 04:51
Genre: Classic Rock / AOR
Origin: Chicago (Illinois), USA
The “White
Horse Rider” is a powerful symbol in past, recent and contemporary imagery. Not
to be confused with the White Walkers from Game of Thrones, the “White Horse
Rider” has different meanings according to the cultural background there are used
in. As the Phil Mitchell Band is from Chicago, Illinois, it is kind of obvious
that the band refers to the very first president of the United States of
America, George Washington. And hence, the “White Horse Rider” is depicted as a
benevolent, prospective, and wise person with two open ears, two open eyes and
a strong sense for a bright and happy future.
The Phil
Mitchell Band is providing us with an epic Classic Rock ballad praising heroic people
who are fighting for a better future. The example of George Washington is of
course a very American approach to this. But if you regard it figuratively, you
can imagine a wise and powerful person sitting on a shiny white horse, taking
care of a better world for the next generations. With an epic mix of Classic
Rock, AOR and some elements of Power Metal, the Phil Mitchell Band musicks
those impressions. “White Horse Rider” appeared on their third album “Crossroads”.
