1) Magnum is an English hard rock band. They were formed in Birmingham by Tony Clarkin (guitar, songwriter, RIP) and Bob Catley (vocals) in order to appear as the resident band at the Rum Runner nightclub in the city. Magnum have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of Catley and Clarkin remain.
Magnum's most significant early success was Chase the Dragon in 1982, which reached number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. It included several songs that would become mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". On a Storyteller's Night gave the band its breakthrough in Europe, and achieved a Gold certification in the United Kingdom. The band's 1986 album Vigilante represented a further move towards the mainstream before the band achieved their commercial peak in 1988 when they entered the UK Top Ten for the first time with the album Wings of Heaven, which reached number five and featured three Top 40 singles, "Days of No Trust", "Start Talking Love" and "It Must Have Been Love". It was followed by Goodnight L.A., which was produced by Keith Olsen and reached number nine in the UK Album Chart in 1990. It produced another Top 40 single for the band, "Rockin' Chair".
In 1995, Clarkin announced Magnum's split; however, Clarkin and Catley continued working together, now under the name Hard Rain, until 1999. Magnum reformed in 2001 and has enjoyed late-career commercial success. Their most recent album, The Monster Roars, was released in January 2022.

Breath of Life
Magnum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are again, always dream of places
Near and far, all those different faces
I`m gonna take it like a breath of life
Here we are again, we don't make much difference
Never start, pray for our forgiveness
Then we take it like a breath of life
2 X CHORUS:
From the wilderness all of us climb

Just a blink at the end of all time
Everyday watch the sun on the rise
Always lookin`
The moon & the stars in our eyes
So here we are again, like a dream unfolded
Every star, every theme exploded
Still we take it like a breath of life
2 X CHORUS
Keep burnin` bright, way beyond time
No shadows light up this long empty night

(guitar solo)
2 X CHORUS
