Peter "Pete" Murray, OBE (born 19 September 1925) is a British radio and television presenter and a stage and screen actor. His broadcasting career spanned over 50 years.
Pete Murray was born Peter Murray James in London, England, in 1925 and was educated at St Paul's School.
He first joined the English service of Radio Luxembourg in 1949 or 1950 as one of its resident announcers in the Grand Duchy, and remained there until 1956. Back in London, and now calling himself "Pete" rather than "Peter", he continued to be heard frequently on Radio Luxembourg for many years, introducing pre-recorded sponsored programmes. He also presented popular music on the BBC Light Programme, particularly in the programme Pete Murray's Party from 1958 to 1961, and co-hosted one of BBC Television's earliest pop music programmes, the skiffle-based Six-Five Special (1957–1958); other regular presenters were Jo Douglas and Freddie Mills. He was a regular panellist on the same channel's Juke Box Jury (1959–1967). He was the "guest DJ" on several editions of ABC-TV's Thank Your Lucky Stars (1961–1966) and he later hosted Come Dancing. He was among the first regular presenters of Top of the Pops when it began in January 1964.
Pete Murray is an American musician and singer-songwriter. Starting his music career in the mid-1990s, he has been the lead vocalist for a number of bands, including nu metal band Ultraspank, hard rock band Lo-Pro, acoustic/electronic rock band Life On Planet 9, industrial rock band Chokt, and most recently, rock band White Noise Owl.
Murray's first band was actually a speed metal band called Indica. While they did manage to earn the title "MTV's Best College Rock Band of 1992" award, the band began to fall apart shortly after, leading some of the members, Murray included, to form a new band called "Spank". Unable to use the name due to copyright issues, the band changed their name to "Ultraspank" once they signed to a major record label. Murray recorded two nu metal albums with the band, Ultraspank in 1998 and Progress in 2000 before the band broke up after being dropped from their record deal.
Murray took a brief break from music after the end of Ultraspank, where he took up a job at a traveling magazine. However, before long, he reconnected with Ultraspank guitarist Neil Godfrey and began working on new music together. Murray came in contact with Aaron Lewis of the rock band Staind, who took interest in the material. Lewis also helped Murray assist in reworking the material into a more hard rock sound, fill out the rest of the band, and sign them to 413 Records, a sub-division of Geffen Records.
A knight came down from a distant land
To stop a valentine sorceress to reign
The country 'round was dying down
And the people lived in fear of her name
The knight and the sorceress were lovers once
The knight still shows scars of his pain
He said that the wild wind that is approaching now
Will ring upon your ears your name
And you gotta know, I'm gonna break your reign
Down you'll go, just like a burning flame
Cause a real loud hurricane is coming now
It's gonna pick you up and spin you like rain
How I'll miss you so but I'll cut you down
If you ever come back here again.
The sorceress gazed into her crystal ball
She saw the knight ridin' right into her aim
Sending her demons way up into the sky
Towards the knight they all came
Well the knight rode on with his sword raised high,
One by one he conquered his prey;
He glared back and caught the eye of his enemy, he said:
I warned you once you would see this day.
And you gotta know, I'm gonna break your reign
Down you'll go, just like a burning flame
Cause a real loud hurricane is coming now
It's gonna pick you up and spin you like rain
How I'll miss you so but I'll cut you down
If you ever come back here again.
And you gotta know, I'm gonna break your reign
Down you'll go, just like a burning flame
You gotta know, I'm gonna break your reign
Down you'll go, just like a burning flame
Cause a real loud hurricane is coming now
It's gonna pick you up and spin you like rain
How I'll miss you so but I'll cut you down
If you ever come back here again.
If you ever come back here again.
If you ever come back here again.
If you ever come back here again.
