Songwriters: Ritchie Blackmore, Candice Night

The song itself might be described as a Mediaeval singalong drinking ditty, and on video shows the alluring Candice Night at her enchanting best.

The lyrics, which feature lines such as “Leave this world behind. We’ll have a drink and toast to ourselves,” and “lose yourself in a medieval mood,” not only characterize the neo-renaissance style of the duo’s music, but also imply Blackmore’s resistance to returning to rock music. Often in interviews Blackmore is asked whether he would reunite with his old rock bands Deep Purple and Rainbow. The lyric, “we’re going back to a time we knew” suggests that medieval music has always been at the heart of Ritchie’s past.

“Under a Violet Moon“ este o melodie de pe DVD “Castles & Dreams” lansat in 2005.
Blackmore’s Night este un grup de folk rock, bazat pe Ritchie Blackmore (acoustic guitar, hurdy gurdy, mandola, mandolin, nyckelharpe and electric guitar) si Candice Night (lead vocals, lyricist and woodwinds). Restul membrilor s-au schimbat de-a lungul timpului.
