RPWL is a German progressive rock band. Their music is distributed by Inside Out Music.
The band was formed in 1997 in Freising, Germany as a Pink Floyd cover band. The band’s name is a combination of the first letters of the original four members’ last names: Phil Paul Rissettio, Chris Postl, Karlheinz Wallner, and Yogi Lang.
After three years they began to make their own music based on their influences from their cover band era. Their debut CD, "God Has Failed" was met with international enthusiasm, praise and excellent reviews in all the major progressive rock music magazines.
2002 brought "Trying To Kiss The Sun" which saw the band developing more their own sound and not relying so heavily on their influences. Their 3rd studio album, "Stock" was released in 2003. It was formed of the tracks that didn't make it onto their previous two albums, plus a cover of Syd Barrett's Opel, which the band used at shows as a soundcheck.
In 2005 they released their 4th studio album "World Through My Eyes". This was received well by fans, and off it their first single, "Roses", was taken. This tune also featured the ex-Genesis and Stiltskin singer Ray Wilson on lead vocals. The special edition of the album was also mixed by Lang in 5.1 and was released as an SACD hybrid disc.
Day on my pillow
Gazing at the skyline
Happy that my soul can rest for a while
Not a single decision
To give you direction
'Cause that wouldn't be my style
Who made the colour of the rainbow
'Cause if I did, I would have done much better
There'd be no one suffering from anything
But I am only sitting at my window
Come again another day
Day on my pillow
Outside is a hurry
Wond'ring if they have peace in their mind
Heading to nowhere
Where no one is waiting
Hope that they'll seek what I have found
Who made the colour of the rainbow
Cause if I did, I would have done much better
There'd be no one
Suffering from anything
