🎶 Back In Black song analysis

The song tells the story of a singer who has reintegrated his past life, now in "black". Freed from the grip that held him, he looks up to the sky and feels safe. His cry is clear: he will never die, having nine lives. He is back in the game, ready to control his own destiny and not be manipulated. He is back in "black" and ready to face life once again.

AC DC - Short Biography

Malcolm and Angus Young, two brothers from Scotland, formed the band AC/DC in 1973 in Sydney. Their music is considered hard rock, blues rock and heavy metal. Over the years, the line-up of the band evolved, but eventually stabilized around the Young brothers, Bon Scott, Phil Rudd and Mark Evans. However, in 1980, the unforgettable Bon Scott died and was replaced by Brian Johnson. AC/DC then released many successful albums. Unfortunately, Malcolm Young was forced to retire due to dementia in 2014. Chris Slade and Axl Rose then replaced Rudd and Johnson respectively. AC/DC has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including the album Back in Black, which has sold about 50 million copies. In 2003, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and VH1 ranked them 23rd on its "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list.
