a fan of Celtic culture as Robert Plant could not help but read the books of Tolkien, the writer of the South African author of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, who died in their 70s in England. Plant's interest in Celtic literature is publicized in songs as "Immigrant Song ," which tells the Viking wars, and the movie of the Led Zeppelin "The Song Remains The Same " takes place where the adventure of a knight played by the same Plant.
songs with references to the Book:
KASHMIR - MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP - NO QUARTER - OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY (among other things is the title of a story by Tolkien) - RAMBLA ON - Stairway To Heaven - The Battle Of Evermore
KASHMIR [ Physical Graffiti ]
... My Shangri-La Beneath the Summer Moon
I will return again
As the dust it blows high in June ...
... My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon is
I will return
When the dust flies high in June ...
The beginning says "I let the sun beat on the face, the stars fill my dreams ..." As the song ends with him Shangri-La talking about and says "Oh, Father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of \u200b\u200byears With no provision but an open face ... oh, when I'm on my way when I see, when I see in what way you fixed his eyes ... oh my ... let me lead from there ... " is considered the culmination of the music of Led Zeppelin, is a mysterious and fascinating encounter between East and West.
... Sit with a gentle race of Elders
This world has seldom seen ...
Talk and songs from tongues of lilting grace
sounds caressed my ear.
But not a word I heard I Could Relate.
The story was quite clear.
... To sit with elders of a gentle race
... To sit with elders of a gentle race
What this world has seldom seen ...
Words and language songs of lilting grace
sounds caress my ears.
There was no word that I understood
But the story was quite clear.
We think the sweet singing and rhythmic speech reminiscent of the way we communicate Ent, an ancient race now extinct. Merry and Pippin, while attending to their Council, are fascinated by this strange and very rare way of expressing that floods their souls a sense of calm. The Ents are very old and Treebeard, their leader, is in Middle-earth from creation. [The Two Towers]
In another hypothesis "Elders of a gentle race" are an ancient people of the Elves with their singing enchant travelers who have the fortune to meet. The four hobbits, for example, when they meet them at the borders of the Shire and Rivendell, but they do not understand their songs are fascinating and seem to understand. [The Fellowship of the Ring, The Hobbit]
Misty Mountain Hop [Led Zeppelin IV ]
The cover of the album in mysterious also this song (untitled album, or "Led Zeppelin IV" or "Four Symbols") has a precise meaning: The old man with the bundle on his back is to represent nature and the hole in the wall is followed by the buildings (this on the back, with a tall building) symbolizes the squalor of the suburbs and pollution ruining nature. From this album the four band members began to sign with a symbol that represented them (see below). There is an aura of mystery around this magical album-ghost, and as Page had contacts with a Satanist, they tried to find hidden messages in the songs of the disc (a parliamentary committee in California gathered to listen to this song on the contrary, and you receive a message of Satan).
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills Where the spirits fly.
Then do your bags for the Misty Mountains
Where now are the spirits,
Over the hills where the spirits fly.
In this song the title is an obvious reference to the Misty Mountains. This mountain range is located in Middle-earth, separating Eriador, and the Wild West to the East in the first book in the series, The Fellowship of the cross through Moria. In verses marked speak the spirits that inhabit the mountains. It is not uncommon to find spirits that haunt places so wild, in fact even if we find them in different Tumulilande or in the desolate Nindalf.
These lines lead to another interpretation: the spirits, who are now traveling and flying over the mountains could be the thoughts of the 13 dwarfs who think beyond the mountains already feel again the masters of the lost treasure of their ancestors. [The Hobbit]
Close the door, put out the light.
They Know won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know,
The winds of Thor are blowing cold.
They're wearing steel that's bright and true,
They carry news that must get through.
They choose a path where no one goes.
They hold no quarter, they ask no quarter.
Walking side by side with death
The Devil mocks their every step.
The snow drives back the foot that's slow,
The dogs of doom are howling more.
They Carry That news must get through
To build a dream for me and you.
Close the door, turn off the lights.
know that there will be no one home tonight. Snow falls
strong and you do not know,
the winds of Thor are blowing cold.
steel wear bright and pure,
bring news that must come.
They choose the path that none have ever undertaken.
not have the prize, the wonder away.
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step The snow slows
their path,
The fate of the dogs howl louder.
bring news that must get
To realize a dream for me and you.
According to a piece of text that draws the desperate attempt of Aragorn at the head of his army to arrive in Gondor first army of Sauron, in fact, the valiant King takes on the bloody trail of deaths defying the forces of the underworld that, according to the prophecy, recognizing the person who is first dare not hinder but simply follow from afar. [The Return of the King]
A second interpretation would like this song as a picture adventure Fellowship of the Ring on the slopes of Mount Moriah Caradhras and inside, a huge complex of tunnels and rooms built by the dwarves in the mountains, but fell into the hands of the Orcs. [The Fellowship of the Ring]
OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY [ Houses Of The Holy ]
Hey lady , got the love I need and Maybe More Than Enough
Oh, darlin ', darlin', darlin 'Walk a while with me.
Hey lady, you love I need and maybe more than enough
Oh darling, darling, darling walk a bit 'with me.
The title song is the title of a story that is in the collection "The Lost Tales", written by Tolkien of course.
The verses may be reported to both the couple encounter between Aragorn and Arwen and Frodo and the wife of Tom Bombadil, after being dismissed by their friend and taking up the journey Frodo becomes aware of not saying goodbye to the woman loved by Tom Bombadil . While thinking about this, the woman (which in essence would be Mother Nature) is, and walk a bit 'with Frodo, being fascinated by her, still wants his company. [The Fellowship of the Ring]
RAMBLE ON [ Led Zeppelin II ]
Leaves are falling all around;
It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go;
The autumn moon lights my way.
But now I smell the rain and with it pain
And it's heading my way.
The leaves fall around me;
it's time for me to go.
Thanks, I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
But now I smell the rain and with it the pain
So begins my journey.
In these lines we talk about Frodo's departure from Hobbiton. His departure coincides with the beginning of the long adventure of the Ring, is in fact the Fall season choice for departing from the Hobbit. The reference to the moonlight illuminating the way forward recalls the long night stages done by him. [The Fellowship of the Ring]
Mine's A Tale That Can not Be Told.
My freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air.
'Twas in the Darkest Depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But Gollum and the Evil One
Crept up and Slipped Away with her. "
Mine is a story that can not be told,
my freedom I hold dear,
Several years ago in ancient times
When magic filled the air
"It was the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl
very seductive, but
Gollum and his half bad
He came crawling and he slipped out of her. "
....

The verses were inspired by Robert Plant book Magic Arts in Celtic Britain " of Spencer Lewis: Talk Search spiritual part of a woman hero of the Celtic tradition. The album contains the song is mysterious (untitled or "Four Symbols" , it would be "Led Zeppelin IV"), the 4 door marked with symbols which they signed the four musicians.

There's a feeling I get When I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And The Voices Of Those who stand looking.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the West
There's a feeling I get when I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen circles of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who are watching.
In the first two verses may be a reference to the elven people who, following an instinct, at some point in their lives feel the need to go to the West where, from the Grey Havens, will set sail with their ships to Valinor: the land of the gods. [The entire trilogy of Lord of the Rings]
In another interpretation could be thought of Bilbo once they leave the house of Beorn. The Hobbit on the way towards the Mirkwood regret having left their homes beyond the Misty Mountains. In his meditation ignores the presence of Bilbo Gandalf (smoke rings) and Beorn the following hiding dwarves to defend their ponies. [The Hobbit]

... Side by side we wait the Might of the darkest of Them All ...
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below.
... Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them ...
... Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them ...
I hear the horses thunder down in the valley.
These two lines probably refer to the preparation of the battle between the armies of Sauron and the Riders of Rohan. In fact, Rohan is a flat region where the stronger horses are bred in Middle-earth, making the region famous. [Two Towers]
... War is the common cry, pick up your swords and fight.
The sky is filled with good and bad That mortals never know.
... Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise Waiting for the Eastern glow.
The pain of war can not Exceed the woe of aftermath.
The pain of war can not Exceed the woe of aftermath.
The drums will shake the castle wall.
The Ringwraiths riding black, ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter Than Before ...
No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold.
... The war is common cry, pick up your swords and fight.
No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold.
... The war is common cry, pick up your swords and fight.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
... Oh well, the night is long, Time passes slowly as a rosary,
Tired eyes on the sunrise waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war can not exceed the woe of aftermath.
The pain of war can not exceed the woe of aftermath.
The drums will shake the castle walls.
the Ringwraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before ...
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
These verses contain a description of the bloody battle between good and evil that brings death and destruction behind him in both armies, because armies of the alliance lost many heroes including King Theoden while the armies of evil lose their general: The Lord of the Nazgul [The Return of the King]
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance.
"The magic runes" in our opinion are nothing more than the rings of power distributed among the peoples of Middle-earth and the destruction of the need to regain their power. [The Silmarillion]
Queen of Light took her bow and turned to go, the Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone. Oh, dance in of night, sing to the morning light. The dark Lord rides in force tonight And time will tell us all. Oh, throw down your plow and your hoe, Rest not to lock your homes. Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them. I hear the horses thunder down in the valley, waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the glow. The fruits of the valley hold The seas of happiness itself, the soil is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no. Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light. The apples turn to brown and blacks, the tyrant's face is red. Oh, the war is common cry, pick up your swords and run. The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know. Oh well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow like a rosary, tired eyes to the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow. The pain of war can not exceed the woe of aftermath. The drums will shake the castle wall, where the spectra ride in black. Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before. No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold. Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light, the magical runes are written in letters of gold to bring the balance back, Bring it back. At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by, With flames from the dragon of darkness The sunlight blinds his eyes.
