Slowly is a 1993 album by Ghost.
Slowly is a 1954 song by Webb Pierce, written by Pierce and Nashville songwriter Tommy Hill (brother of singer Goldie Hill). The song was one of Pierce's more successful singles, spending seventeen weeks at the top of the Country and Western Best Sellers lists and a total of thirty-six weeks in the chart.
Beyond its success as a song, "Slowly" was hugely influential in the history of country music, in that it was among the first (and certainly the most successful to date) songs to feature a pedal steel guitar. The song's iconic intro, played by Bud Isaacs, was said to have sent legions of lap steel guitar players scurrying to their closets for wire coat hangers, with which they attempted to modify their existing instruments to get the pitch shifting effect achieved by Isaacs.
I, touch the sky, all around, in our eyes
And who wouldn't believe
What's happening to me
Expectations all around
My intuition knows no doubt I could
Lose my way on this merry-go-round
So I, like a bird will fly
To see
Just what could be
And patience I will learn
Before this fire burns
Intuition's got a hold on me
There's magic in the air
I wanna breathe
Change, change all around
Go with the rhythm
The soul sound (oh mmm)
The soul sound (mmm, mmm)
The soul sound (oh mmm)
The soul sound
So I, like a bird will fly
To see
Just what could be
(What could be yeah)
Patience I will learn
Before this fire burns
Intuition's got a hold on me
There's magic in the air
I wanna breathe
Change, change all around
Just go with the rhythm
The soul sound (oh mmm)
The soul sound (mmm, mmm)
The soul sound (feeling free)
The soul sound
Dun-duna, duna-duna, dun-duna, oooh
Soul sound
Dun-duna, dun-duna, dun-duna, dunnn
Wait a minute soul sound
Ahh, ooh ahh, ooh ahhh, ooh ahhh
The soul sound (oh mmm)
The soul sound (mmm, mmm)
The soul sound (mmm, mmm)
The soul sound (mmm, mmm)
