I'm listening. I forgot about this epic music . Don't want to be a downer . But the only reason I found this is because a friend's 16 year old daughter had a heartache. 16 year old kid . I must read the lyrics. I'm a bit distraught at this time . This is a great song .
I remember hearing this on the radio...I thought this song was done by the firm...it wasn't... this is where David Coverdale beginning to sound like a cross between Robert plant and Brian Johnson (AC/DC)..near the end of the song...it was a good tune though
Incredible track, perhaps the best on the album! Coverdale’s voice is just so beautiful and the lyrics are also brilliant, talk about a song that has aged well… Particularly relevant right now
...Machine gun, battle cry, you pray to God when the bullets fly, The bombs fall like black rain, an' all your dreams take you home again, Nothing but bad dreams... and brutal lyrics.. thanks for uploading!
Lyrics: I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying Oh, a prayer for the dying The suffocating heat of jungles, and burning desert sands Where everything reminds you, you're a stranger in a strange land The soothing words of politicians, those bodyguards of lies While guardian angels waste their time and every mother cries Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying, dying Machine gun, battle cry, you pray to God when the bullets fly The bombs fall like black rain, an' all your dreams take you home again Nothing but bad dreams You can't read, you can't write You're so scared, you can't sleep at night You try to carry the heavy load Walking down Armageddon road Oh, Armageddon road I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying Oh, a prayer for the dying, baby, baby Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying Whisper a prayer for the dying You can't run, you can't hide You can't show what you feel inside You're going crazy, going insane You know you'll never be the same again, no, no Whisper a prayer for the dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, no, no Armageddon road, Armageddon road I'm walking down Armageddon road
Fantastic musicians. Fantastic band. This is the very best of DC and Jimmy Page. They really got the best from each other on this album. An absolute bloody tragedy that they never followed it up with another album. Superb stuff!!
@@mikej70It had more radio friendly hits. If that's what you mean. Walking into Clarksdale was well received and a good album. Two totally different styles of music and Coverdale is certainly no Robert Plant. Not even close
@ShawnConrad-tw8du I agree Coverdale ain't iclose to.plants vocals but cp album is better . Clarksdale was good but could have been bettter some of the outakes are better than songs like shining in the light should have been replaced with bucket with a whole in it
It's so Good to see so many that love this Awesome Album. I remember seeing a bunch of Return Used Copies in Wherehouse Music back in 1993. I went ahead and bought my copy anyway. Great job on my part because I still Love it.
Back when there was a thing called music. Love it Cant find anything like this anymore eveything is awful. No true talent anymore Thanks for the awesome post.

I worked at a record store when this came out. I was in the back, checking in product, jamming the cd on the old boom box back there and the cd got stuck during the breakdown before the guitar solo. Took me 10 minutes to notice the same section being repeated over and over because it sounded good! LOL
No music knowledge? Listen to the intro's of both songs back to back. The main guitar riff is damn near identical. If you can't hear that....you have no musical comprehension at all.
Lyrics: Life is a waterfall We're one in the river And one again after the fall Swimming through the void, we hear the word We lose ourselves, but we find it all 'Cause we are the ones that want to play Always want to go, but you never want to stay And we are the ones that want to choose Always want to play but you never want to lose Aerials in the sky When you lose small mind, you free your life Life is a waterfall We drink from the river Then we turn around and put up our walls Swimming through the void, we hear the word We lose ourselves, but we find it all 'Cause we are the ones that want to play Always want to go, but you never want to stay And we are the ones that want to choose Always want to play but you never want to lose Oh Aerials in the sky When you lose small mind, you free your life Aerials, so up high When you free your eyes, eternal prize Aerials in the sky When you lose small mind, you free your life Aerials, so up high When you free your eyes, eternal prize Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
This song is prevalent even through these current events....and what's happening in world right now.....{🇷🇺VS 🇺🇦}....they should start playing it on the rock radio stations again
dear windwar attact i too did the same w/my love,n also lost her to cancer last Dec,2017 one year to date of Limmy Kimaster, in words of Lesly West..LOVES WORTH THE BLUES....
This Album BLOWS MY FUCKIN MIND ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE BOUGHT It The First Day It Came Our And Listen To It At Least Once A Week... Cant BURN THIS OUT....ROCK ON

Yes it is an incredible song. Brian Johnson was not a guest vocalist. It's all done by Mr. Coverdale. Thank you for showing interest. Listen to the whole album all songs are great.
Utter perfection. Merely the outrageous existence of Rainbow's "Stargazer" (rest in peace RJD, you are and will remain unreachable!) prevents "Whisper..." from being the best song ever.
MsKristineE5150- Thank you so much for sharing this! I agree that this whole album is very underrated. Over Now & Easy Does It are my favorites, but this song kicks ass too! Jimmy Page is one of the best guitar players of all time. Hey Slagnr, I would love to hear anything about working this tour, or see any video you might have. Please keep me posted.
I was listening to this one in the streets of Paris, back in 1993. This track, like several off this LP, is Led Zeppelin quality. Strange thing, is that, here, in 2015, the lyrics seem even more relevant. "You pray to God as the bullets fly." That's physical: look up combat footage from Syria, etc. Musically, Lyrically, this is very powerful song. This one should have been a Led Zeppelin song. Whisper a Prayer for the Living, Prespos
Ahora se me ha ocurrido una nueva formación para Led Zeppelin, es esta, se me ha ocurrido ha raíz de California, la idea es sustituir a Plant y a Jones por Glenn Hughes en el bajo y en la voz, con lo cual quedaría así: Glenn Hughes, Jimmy Page y Jason Bonham. Hay que tener en cuenta que en California Breed Hughes y Bonham han estado juntos en la banda
Such a great song! Such a classic album! This is why Robert Plant doesn't want to get back together because David Coverdale was always come paired to him!
No dis to plant....He's the best ever. But at a close #2 It's nice to see what Coverdale can do with the first team. I've been a fan for ...well way too long. I loved when this came out. As I said....LED ZEP was the benchmark. But...I remember hearing rumors... and waiting to hear coverdale / page
After they broke up...page once again reunited with Robert plant and made a couple of albums together... even toured together....1/2 of Led Zeppelin is better than nothing.
Who still listening in 2024 🎙🎼🔊🎸🥁💯🔥♥️👊🤟✌️
I'm listening. I forgot about this epic music . Don't want to be a downer . But the only reason I found this is because a friend's 16 year old daughter had a heartache. 16 year old kid . I must read the lyrics. I'm a bit distraught at this time . This is a great song .
Me😢
It's like Kashmir and Still Of The Night had a rock'n'roll love child!
That's such an awesome way to put it! LOL
Best comment I've seen so far
I remember hearing this on the radio...I thought this song was done by the firm...it wasn't... this is where David Coverdale beginning to sound like a cross between Robert plant and Brian Johnson (AC/DC)..near the end of the song...it was a good tune though
One of the best album closers ever.
But heavier, way heavier
Incredible track, perhaps the best on the album! Coverdale’s voice is just so beautiful and the lyrics are also brilliant, talk about a song that has aged well… Particularly relevant right now
Any thing page does is bound to be a masterpiece. I bought this CD back in 1993 and I still have the same one
I still have the cassette.
All these years later this song still speaks truth to our current state of affairs in the world. Lord help us.
So true!
Totally!
One of the best album closers ever.
one of the best songever singed by Coverdale...and what a voice! wonderful song, SO UNDERRATED!
Mmm for sure my mom is a fan of this band
One of the best if not the best vocal performance by Mr. Coverdale ever... incredible voice.
Page found his form again.
great follow on from outrider....another forgotten masterpiece.
tony nickols,
yes he did,page played a thousand times better in the 90's than the 80's.
Best rock album of the 1990s
aerials in the sky
...Machine gun, battle cry, you pray to God when the bullets fly,
The bombs fall like black rain, an' all
your dreams take you home again,
Nothing but bad dreams...
and brutal lyrics..
thanks for uploading!
1 of the greatest songs of all time
For sure but the thing is that you don't hear this on the radio
Lyrics:
I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around
I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground
I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying
Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying
Oh, a prayer for the dying
The suffocating heat of jungles, and burning desert sands
Where everything reminds you, you're a stranger in a strange land
The soothing words of politicians, those bodyguards of lies
While guardian angels waste their time and every mother cries
Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying, dying
Machine gun, battle cry, you pray to God when the bullets fly
The bombs fall like black rain, an' all your dreams take you home again
Nothing but bad dreams
You can't read, you can't write
You're so scared, you can't sleep at night
You try to carry the heavy load
Walking down Armageddon road
Oh, Armageddon road
I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around
I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground
I see the fathers' sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying
Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying
Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying
Oh, a prayer for the dying, baby, baby
Oh, a prayer for the dying, dying
Whisper a prayer for the dying
You can't run, you can't hide
You can't show what you feel inside
You're going crazy, going insane
You know you'll never be the same again, no, no
Whisper a prayer for the dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, no, no
Armageddon road, Armageddon road
I'm walking down Armageddon road
Think about what they are trying to tell you. WAKE UP!!!
Great song, voice and guitars matches perfectly
Finally somebody posted this song!
One of my all time favourites!
This song is IMPRESSIVE.
They're Myths.
Legends.
Absolutley correct
Jimmy Page...the man, the myth,...the Legend!...💓
Do you guys have any idea how the lead singer is in this band is
@@stewartmatthews1551 lead singer is David Coverdale, known from Deep Purple and mostly Whitesnake
@@TheReaper955 oh ok that is good to know
Fantastic musicians. Fantastic band. This is the very best of DC and Jimmy Page. They really got the best from each other on this album. An absolute bloody tragedy that they never followed it up with another album. Superb stuff!!
Yes better than walking into Clarksdale
Or maybe it was better to make one great album and leave the collaboration on a high note.
Amazing record
@@mikej70It had more radio friendly hits. If that's what you mean. Walking into Clarksdale was well received and a good album. Two totally different styles of music and Coverdale is certainly no Robert Plant. Not even close

give it up,,this is a Classic
It is a great song for sure. Page on guitar always makes everything all right.
If you don't mind me asking but what do the the words mean in this song
Some of Coverdale's best ever lyrics, inspired by the horrors of the Gulf War.
Best track on the album IMHO
This Album is Holy!
My faith is restored , someone else gets this album
so much underrated this beatifull
song
whole album from begining to end the best that robert plant missed out on
Hello
james kennedy to me this is pages best post zeppelin work!!
What a banger! Been into it since the day it was released! 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🌋
This album is so damn brilliant.
The meaning behind the song is what hits me.
Beautiful music !!!
interesting fact - Coverdale and Page dedicated this song to the victims on the war in ex-Jugoslavia.
Another good one about this is Pick Up The Bones by Alice Cooper
That's some Epic info
This is one of the most beautiful songs
What can I say? Masterpiece
Crazy that this song inspired Aerials
The best of coverdale´s songs I've heard. A very good teamplay with page´s wonderful riffs.
vellisima reoscura la cansion me recuerda a mi abuela sigan así chikos. Saludos desde República dominicana 🇻🇪 😻😻😻
Como tu vieja
We All Have To Stand As ONE!!! It is the only way we win!! Stand with God. We Win!!
united we stand,,divided we fall..
He is on the throne!!
One of the best collaborations ever.
Wow This song is unbelievable! LOVE IT!
What a great album. I hate that it was taken down from streaming years ago now
An epic album by these guys, and I really like the sign on the cover! Sort of showing what it's all about :-)
This song is master piece.
Back when there was a thing called music. Love it Cant find anything like this anymore eveything is awful. No true talent anymore Thanks for the awesome post.
This is one of the best pairing of talents ever this is just majestic and wonderful these two should collaborated more
I hear the sound of distant thunder, echo all around
I see the tragedy of young ones lying on the ground
I see the fathers´ sons and daughters, I hear the mothers crying
Nothing left for me to do, but, whisper a prayer for the dying

The bombs fall like black rain, an' all your dreams take you home again
Nothing but bad dreams
You can´t read, you can´t write
You´re so scared, you can´t sleep at night
You try to carry the heavy load
Walking down Armageddon road
Oh, Armageddon road

You know you´ll never be the same again, no, no
Whisper a prayer for the dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, no, no
Armageddon road, Armageddon road
I´m walking down Armageddon road
Page is such a master at acoustic guitar alternate tunings
It's not just the music itself that kicks ass ...the lyrics actually have / make a point ....masters ..at the top of their game
I worked at a record store when this came out. I was in the back, checking in product, jamming the cd on the old boom box back there and the cd got stuck during the breakdown before the guitar solo. Took me 10 minutes to notice the same section being repeated over and over because it sounded good! LOL
Great song, really well crafted...
Thanks for posting this, it still gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it.
I had this cd... it disapeared, someone took from me.. :(
Great song, both are Gods of music.
PURE MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best song on the album. Rock Royalty!
SOAD totally ripped this off
Correct, I used to tell ppl this but they hadn't;t heard of this album.
fuc u mate u aint got any music aknowladge to say a bullshit like that mate go drink salsichas juice mate
Cry more
No music knowledge? Listen to the intro's of both songs back to back. The main guitar riff is damn near identical. If you can't hear that....you have no musical comprehension at all.
Malakian ripped this off
sweet song!!!
great, great, JUST GREAT!!!!!!!
man alive! imagine if Bonzo were alive and played the drums in this album, his thunderous sound would make this track the most epic song of all time!
I should've played this song on the jukebox at the bar where my friend's band played at.
What a stupid comment.
Led-Snake,choque de monstruos del rock🤟🎵🎶✊
should have easily breach 1million views. whats wrong with the world now who doesn't appreciate rock?
Agreed. Its sad
I'll never be the same again. People think that I am crazy, but it's ok, the truth will hit them upside the head,,,,then they will know.
Awesome
Bought this CD when it came out. I blew the windows out of my house cranking this bitch up.
Back again. Never gets old. Still got the SX1980 (285 watts per channel) blasting this bitch trough some Klipsch Corner Horns.
Lyrics: Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go, but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go, but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose
Oh
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
wrong song, thats lyrics for SOAD Aerials
Why did 11 retarded people give thumbs up to the words to the wrong song? That's more than the comment with the correct lyrics that's been up longer!
@@PutItAway101 the joke is that the guitar sounds similar brudda cheer up live life stop gatekeeping
Lmao but this song predates that one
This song is prevalent even through these current events....and what's happening in world right now.....{🇷🇺VS 🇺🇦}....they should start playing it on the rock radio stations again
Hard rock at its finest
I hope System of a Down paid for this riff...featured in "Aerials".
БРАВО🔥🔥🔥

@7byseven I remember that. Was trying to find it and only came across this. It was damned fine work as well.
Hidden gem!!!
Fantastic song, thank you for uploading it!
MAJESTIC !!
Awesome song , !!! listen to it loud !!
An Amazing Work!!!
Increíble Song.
I play this song to remind to pray for the dieing ... both a physical breath and an emotional death as well . 🙏

+John Scott Es que Led Zeppelin tenía que haberse refundado con David Coverdale como vocalista en el 93
+John Scott i agree

this is sooo good
Coverdale turned into Brian Johnson for a minute there.
2018. Wow extremely Awesome
Such a great song! Such a classic album! This is why Robert Plant doesn't want to get back together because David Coverdale was always come paired to him!
Robert doesn't want to get back together because that's history, over, done!
I very much doubt they did THAT together . . .
It really is!
@Piclemania All due respect! Denny Carmassi does do quite the job belting out the THUNDER!! Peace!
WAKE UP!!!
Yes agree this album is that good !! Coverdale & Page Could have been the new Page & Plant @ least in my opinion
Divine !
thx dude, amazing
best track of the album...
If you're any kind of zeppelin fan you would love this
No dis to plant....He's the best ever. But at a close #2 It's nice to see what Coverdale can do with the first team. I've been a fan for ...well way too long. I loved when this came out. As I said....LED ZEP was the benchmark. But...I remember hearing rumors... and waiting to hear coverdale / page

Second best song on this album.
So !!l F**king !!l Awesome !!l
Bought this bad boy the day it come out. 285 watts per channel with my Pioneer SX1280 blasting through Klipsch corner horns.
Really? that amp is rated at 185 wpc into 8 ohms. How are your ears after that klipsch rasp? Only for the brave.
@@grandprix1phil Your thinking of the SX1250
Shit, I don't even know my own equipment. I have a Pioneer 1980. I had a SX1250 until some fuck broke into my house and stole all my shit.
Temazo
