They view themselves as simple robots, singing to their fans, but not knowing what they’re singing any more. It’s like when you repeat a word so many times that you forget what it actually means. They’ve preformed so many concerts, sung the songs so many times that their own lyrics have begun to lose meaning to themselves. We think that the song Zeppelin sings about is their own music. “Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear, but not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear”. The next stanza starts to tell us how monotonous Zeppelin begins to find their career. The word elders referring to the wisdom they have, and the phrase “this world has seldom seen”, refers to the fact that your everyday person isn’t well known compared to the stardom of the group. Not the big shot celebrities, but the little people who offer them tidbits of wisdom and information. “To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen, They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed” we think refers to the people Zeppelin met on their tours. Dreams are also vast, and have no limits, the limits of their travels can only be measured by our imagination. They also reinforce that with their reference about stars. The group tries to compare the distances they’ve travelled across the globe to the vast, infinity of space. “Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream, I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been”. The first stanza of lyrics starts to tell us about Zeppelin’s past. We believe that the lyrics of Kashmir portray that very desire of the group Led Zeppelin, sharing with us their experience of travelling and the need to rest. We can even imagine that it might creep into a song’s lyrics, venting the desire for rest from the stage of the world. One has to wonder what kind of toll it takes, playing music without rest, not having time to settle down in a place we would call home. With such fame comes tour after tour, travelling around the globe performing for millions of fans worldwide. The song we are about to play is called Kashmir, which was originally released in the album Physical Graffiti in 1975, after six long years of fame and popularity. In 1969, the Hindenburg had come to the world of music. A common household name, this group offers an alternative to today’s common pop and rap music. In 1969, a new music group put out their first CD, not knowing that they would still be releasing merchandise in 2003. Well me and my friend had to do a project at skool about a song and we picked kashmir. Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, well I'm down, so down Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, well I'm down, yes Sure as the dust that floats high in June Trying to find, trying to find where I been Oh all I see turns to brown as the sun burns the groundĪnd my eyes fill with sand as I scan this wasted land Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace The surviving members all consider Kashmir to be _the_ quitessential Led Zeppelin.
