Prince said they were the greatest band as not one song sounded like another of theirs, nor anyone else's: A remarkable feat. Once I thought about it, I knew he was right.
Another Zeppelin/Prince story. Dave Grohl was jamming on the drums and Prince was playing guitar. Prince stopped and picked up another guitar and said to Dave ‘you do have a heavy foot’ and started playing ‘Whole Lotta Love.’
This song is about a young love of Plants, who wanted him to choose between music & her, thankfully he chose music. I’m guessing a first love, because he was married in 68 at the age of 19/20. He dated his wife a couple years before marriage. A beautiful song about a love that remains in your thoughts, many years later. I’m quite sure she thinks of him too, with some regrets.
Also the scale for the song was Mixolydian with a flatten 6th. Now know as the tens years gone scale. In order to play the song live John Paul Jones had a special three neck guitar made.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. It means so much. Robert has so much emotion in his voice. I cry every time I hear it, and at 63, I’ve heard it a lot.
I’m 61 and was lucky to see them at Knebworth in 79.My mother died in my arms a year ago after suffering from dementia.The only thing that keeps me sane atm is Zeppelin and my weed.Without them I’d go crazy.
Favorite Zeppelin album. Reminds me of my older brother who turned me onto this forever awesome band. Sorry for you loss. Sounds like you’ve gone through a lot already in your young life. I want to add that I really love how you read comments to the songs you react to. ❤ Ren brought me here. 😊
My son has been gone 11 years. He was only 13.......and my Heart is still broken. I know you recently lost your father,,and my Heart feels for you sweetie. About 2 years after my son died I asked a friend who had lost a child......."when does it stop hurting so bad? Don't they say Time Heals Everything?" She wisely said to me....."some things time can't heal. You either learn to live WITH the pain, or you let it destroy you....." I chose to live a life that will make my son proud~!! My grief is just as much of a heavy burden today ,,11 years later,as it was the very day my son died. Some days it feels almost unbearable. But I carry on. Because I must. I see you carrying on and know that you'll be ok. I smile bc I know your dad is smiling at you too. You got this❤
@vivienneclarke2421 so so sorry for your loss. Dang it. 😢 I have quite a few friends that have lost a child. I can’t imagine. I spend as much time with my girls as I can and we always apologize quickly and leave with hugs and I love you. My son, unfortunately, has chosen to stay distant. It’s its own kind of loss. But I know he is around so there is still hope. Much love to you.
Ur compassion towards all of us who are going, or have gone thru sh§#, made me misty with gratitude! I was around when this came out. That should tell u my age…ish. Luv Zep! Luv ur heart! Tanks R!
Great intro, I feel for you as you feel for me. Watched a million Zeppelin reactions this probably the second one I thumbs up. Positive vibes, good Man. I need one of those t shirts btw. As for Zeppelin, their God is older than time itself, a concept impossible for a logical mind to to realise yet it can be realised temporarily. An understanding that reaches so far into your soul, to make you understand the Human mind and it's mechanics and the unknowable design behind it. Welcome to Led Zeppelin my friend.
This song was played on the radio when I was homeless...and I thought about My mom, my dad, my 7 husband's, 4 best friends of 26 years...all gone....and I thought I would be joining them...however, God has other things for me to do....and after 5 years being homeless and 11 years not being homeless now....I am truly blessed to be here. I will be 69 years young in April and truly happy to be here and I am enjoying your reactions to this immortal Masterpiece music from this immortal amazing rock band Led Zeppelin. Blessings to you, my brother!
I'm so sorry about the loss of your father, and about the pain and trauma you had to experience surrounding your loss. You sound like a good person and and a pure soul - I wish you very well.
My grandma raised me and she is gone 10 years now.still hurts like and I remember like it was yesterday when the hospital called me at 9 am in the morning to say then she was gone.😭😭😭😢😢
I heard that comment. And I'm almost 68. Been a fan since I was a teen also. Went through a breakup with a woman who also was their biggest fan. This was on at night. With some banging 🎧
One day it's 30 -40-50 years gone..this song can apply to any dark or sad situation. To me it is not just the lyrics but the emotions behind it ..i lost my dad in a treacherous way too
Alongside the Beatles "White Album", Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" is my favorite album of all time. But every Led Zeppelin album is a masterpiece. Since you've started the Led Zeppelin album journey, maybe you should do the whole thing? I would start with the album "Led Zeppelin I" and go right through to their last official studio release, "Coda". I already had you subscribed, but now I have you on all notifications. Great reaction! Now I'm gonna go watch your reactions to the rest of the tracks off of this album. Peace
You don't hear music like this now, copycats, remakes and autotune are the methods of today. I would really like to know who is making true music today
