... A resonator and the slide on my hands of a lonely wooden house in the prairie...
Running To Stand Still
And so she woke up Woke up from where she was lyin’ still. Said I gotta do something About where we’re goin’. Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in the night. Singing ah, ah la la la de day Ah la la la de day.
Sweet the sin,bitter the taste in my mouth. I see seven towers, but I only see one way out. You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice. You know I took the poison, from the poison stream Then I floated out of here, singing Ah la la la de day Ah la la la de day.
She walks through the streets With her eyes painted red Under black belly of cloud in the rain. In through a doorway She brings me white golden pearls Stolen from the sea. She is ragin’ She is ragin’
And the storm blows up in her eyes. She will suffer the needle chill She’s running to stand still.
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 biographythat 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
