Led zeplin song lyrics series#

I would share your load Baby, let me, oh, let me Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone I would share your load. Ooh, let me share, share your loadĪnd if you feel that you can't go on Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick - In the light you will find the road I just wanna show what I'd give you it is from every bend in the road Now listen to me Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey As you would for me, oh, I would share your load.

Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the cold I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul. And your will's sinkin' low Just believe and you can't go wrong. That “great change”, though he didn’t know it yet, was fast approaching.And if you feel that you can't go on. Two years later, during the band’s last, disastrous, US tour he reflected: “I think I will go to Kashmir one day, when some great change hits me and I have to really go away and think about my future as a man rather than a prancing boy.” Performed for the first time on the band’s 1975 US tour, Kashmir became the new centrepiece of the set, Jimmy stomping around in his specially designed new suit embroidered with dragons, crescent moons, spangly stars, blood-red poppies and the ‘ZoSo’ emblem.Īt their Earls Court shows, in May, Plant described Kashmir to the audience as a song about revisiting “our travels in Morocco… and the story of our wasted, wasted times”. There were also some moments where cloaked references to Page’s ongoing obsession with the occult could be discerned: images of ‘ Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace’ and a ‘ pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream’ – pilot? Or Magus, perhaps? Physical Graffiti was an album all about scope (it included both the longest and shortest tracks the band would ever record), and Kashmir was to be the jewel in the crown Page determined to showcase the “bigger palette” Zeppelin had at their disposal than nearest rivals like the Stones, who Zeppelin outsold but had never matched for credibility. The bigness of Kashmir fitted Page’s increasingly lofty ambitions, his burning desire to prove wrong the naysayers who had hounded Led Zeppelin in the press since the band’s inception. Years later, Jimmy told me: “Well it was certainly one of them.” Was it the best thing the band would ever do? Robert said it was. The finished track was a truly epic rock classic, panoramic in scope, featuring the full-spectrum Zeppelin sound. The finishing touch was the addition of real string and horn parts, recorded in May that year at Olympic Studios, in London, where overdubs were also laid down.

“The whole deal of the song is… not grandiose, but powerful: it required some kind of epithet, or abstract lyrical setting about the whole idea of life being an adventure and being a series of illuminated moments.” “It was an amazing piece of music to write to, and an incredible challenge for me,” he later recalled. Delighted with his lyrics, he admitted he was “petrified” and “virtually in tears” at trying to sing along with Kashmir’s unusual rhythmic pattern. It was now that the serious work on Kashmir was completed, with Jones sketching out what would later become the orchestral parts with his Mellotron. After a deal was brokered with Jones that included the band relocating to the plush nearby Frencham Ponds hotel (except for Page, who stayed behind at Headley) Zeppelin recommenced at the beginning of 1974.
