In a Very Zeppelin Sorta Mood...

Been in a very horny mood these days. You know, the sort of things you'd expect of a devilish mind like mine tangled up in an ever complex world; finding new ways to appease my singularity, only to discover that it is tending to plummet in the essential singularity zone. Einstein's wormholes look to me as the only way out of this rigid framework of mind but the statisticians will tell you that probabiltiy seems once every lifetime of the universe's history (thanks to our dear friend Quantum Mechanics).


Anyway, if you thought all that was gibberish, which, yes, I candidly agree to, then you would agree that I needed a break from physics for a while. And I did take a break. Dont worry, I had prepared well to face the summer heat. My arsenal includes some 25 gigs of music on my laptop, and also some classic movies.

And in this mood with nothing better to do, and no one at home , I decided to..... Dont think further. I decided to crank up the volumes and return to that Led Zeppelin mode. And I suddenly realised that I will do what I always wanted to do, collect some of my favourite Led Zeppelin song quotes and publish. So here it goes.... (album wise) ....
Some of these wont seem much, but they do when u hear them in the intoxicating voice of Plant.

Led Zeppelin I ( 1969)

You Shook Me -
" I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing. - X2
I have a baby, won't do nothing ...oh, buy a diamond ring."
well I hope you know what he means..... I cant help but just laughing

Dazed And Confused -

" You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies.
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize. "

" Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away."

and btw., how can we forget those wild sounds that Plant makes to match his voice with Jimmy's guitar!

Led Zeppelin II (1969)

What Is And What Should Never Be -
" And if I say to you tomorrow. Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle I will take you, where what's to be, they say will be."
" And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be.
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby. But What Is And What Should Never Be."
"So if you wake up with the sunrise, and all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad, girl, the answer lies with you."

" do do do, bop bop a do-oh, my my my my my my yeah."

Thank You -
" If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me."
although it wont be unfair to say that the whole song is a lyrical marvel...

Heartbreaker -
" People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you."

Whole Lotta Love -
" Gonna Give You Every **** of my love "
just wanted to avoid that **** for some reasons (and its not fuck for fuck's sake)


Led Zeppelin III (1970)

Friends -
" Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.

Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely,"
Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.

So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew. "

this song is just very close to me...

Tangerine -
" Thinking how it used to be, Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again? And I do......................... "

I cant really tell you how poerful these lines are....
btw, if your thinking what "tangerine" is, its a sweet orange that peels very easy and its characteristic colour is also called "tangerine"... eg... "You are looking beatiful in that tangerine gown.." and yes, I'll encourage you to think further this time.

Thats The Way -
" I don't know how I'm gonna tell you, I can't play with you no more,"

" And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry."

again... I know you can feel the lyrics...

Untitled (1971)

Black Dog -
" Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing, gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way, watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

*Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah. Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah. " (this one line is the chorus!)

" I gotta roll, can't stand still, got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill.
Eyes that shine burning red, dreams of you all through my head. "

Going To California -
" Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems. "

Stairway To Heaven -
" If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on. "
this one for reasons you may never understand....


Houses Of The Holy (1973)

The Rain Song -
" Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so "


Over The Hills And Far Away -
" Hey lady--you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh Darling... walk a while with me
You've got so much... (lolz... yeah! point well taken!)

Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold. "

apart from the lyrics, this song is one of Page's greatest composititons as a guitarist

Dancing Days -
" I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident, In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent as the evening starts to glow. "

The Ocean -
" Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start. "
oh this one is a really fun song... u can feel it in his voice

Yup, guys, thats all that I have and I like.... I hope you enjoyed reading this stuff... because I put alot of effort into this post, and more than that.... I think its not hard to appreaciate art.

P.S.
Listening to No Quarter while cycling along in the night on a lonely street, the sensation is on you cannot describe...
