Valhalla, I Am Coming ...

Led Zeppelin III is known as their acoustic album..

but the first song is Immigrant Song ...

About Scandinavian mythology and warfare

Maybe the most heavy tune they ever recorded..

(from wikipedia.org)
Valhalla is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the God Odin. Chosen by him, half of those that die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by Valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr.

This is the one where they evoke the Hammer Of The Gods..

That's the title of the infamous biography that they'd always dismiss..

The film Almost Famous is somehow based on the groupie phenomenon that happened in the first part of the 70's to Led Zeppelin back then..

Director Cameron Crowe himself wrote liner notes for Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same live record, when he was just 17 years old.. He was already working for Rolling Stone since 1972.. enough said..

Who wouldn't want to be part of those days ?



Immigrant Song

A-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow

The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde and sing and cry, Valhalla, I am coming

On we sweep with, with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

Ah-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs FLOW
How soft your fields, so green
can whisper tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords

On we sweep with, with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

S-so now you better stop and rebuild all your ruins
for peace and trust can winthe day despite of all you're losin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ahh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
