"T'was 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." forgot about that reference to LOTR in the song .. cool .. very cool ..
I honestly believe that Zeppelin will never die, I mean people who weren't even born around their time listen to them that just shows how well-known they are and how good they are, and with great songs such as this one and many others I don't think they will ever disappear
JPJ is a musical God. Play this song and focus on the base line alone - probably the most melodic perfect bass lines ever played. It's a freakin song within a song and the rest of the song is so damn good, too. Listen to some other Zeppelin tunes and see how JPJ pairs up note for note with Jimmy on some of his vicious riffs. The finest musician of the rock era.
Robert Plant is one of the greatest lyrical songwriters of all time, just look at Ramble On set to LOTR, fucking epic. and Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir. awesomeness.
Its great in this day and age that we can combine the best music with the best film. This really works and the best of luck with future stuff. I loved it - The Return of the Zep, The Two SG's or the Mothership of the Ring. Why not? It is better than the materialistic, soul sapping and recessionary stuff about. But who cares I live in Normandy, France with my goats and chickens! Have a good Christmas all Zep fans!
Also, the 'she' may be Penelope from the Odyssey. After all: "Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on, Gotta find the queen of all my dreams." Has *got* to be a reference to Odysseus' ten year journey back home to Penelope. Perhaps an intertwining of the two stories.
When you think about relationships...'gollum'..(the obsessed possessive one) is 'the evil one' IE being possessive generally screws up your relationship and, indeed, makes her go away. Thats how I always interpreted the lyric anyway, for what it's worth, BTW this is my favourite zep song ever.
Here's a weird fact, the singer for Led Zeppelin (Robert Plant) actually thinks the Lord of the Rings happened a long time ago. Thats why its in the song.
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Mordor is the dwelling place of Sauron, in the southeast of Middle-earth to the East of Anduin, the great river. Frodo and Sam went there to destroy the One Ring. Mordor was unique because of the three enormous mountain ridges surrounding it, from the North, from the West and from the South.
In Hebrew, "golem" stands for "shapeless mass." The Talmud uses the word as "unformed" or "imperfect" and according to Talmudic legend, Adam is called "golem," meaning "body without a soul" (Sanhedrin 38b) for the first 12 hours of his existence. The golem appears in other places in the Talmud as well. One legend says the prophet Jeremiah made a golem However, some mystics believe the creation of a golem has symbolic meaning only, like a spiritual experience following a religious rite.
no cos sauron is the evil one from the next line "was 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"i always thought it was about ARAGORN in his exile cos hes a ranger called strider who walked every where but i dont know who the girl he met in mordor could have been...
Do you know where and why JRR Tolkien formed his Ideas of Hobbit and other stories????? On the front lines of World War One, in the trenches, to releive boredom, horror.. This is full circle stuff here people... He was a devout Roman Catholic. Tolkien was a close friend of C. S. Lewis; they were both members of the informal literary discussion group known as the Inklings.
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. That right there sounds like they might have made a song about LOTR....
In Jewish tradition, the golem is most widely known as an artificial creature created by magic, often to serve its creator. The word "golem" appears only once in the Bible (Psalms139:16). The Catholic Church acknowledges, very strongly I might add, the mystic nature of God, watch EWTN father Groschel Live on Sunday night, he makes several references to this.
This song is true magic.
Literally genius.
Best bass line EVER!
"T'was 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."
forgot about that reference to LOTR in the song ..

Robert Plant is one of the greatest lyrical songwriters of all time, just look at Ramble On set to LOTR, fucking epic.
and Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir.

Great song it always makes my day better

"but gollum, and the evil one crept up,
and slipped away with her." :)
John Paul Jones might be the most under-rated figure in rock history
Also, the 'she' may be Penelope from the Odyssey. After all:
"Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on, Gotta find the queen of all my dreams."
Has *got* to be a reference to Odysseus' ten year journey back home to Penelope. Perhaps an intertwining of the two stories.
ahah :D
I'm learnin it right now too!

"twas in the darkest depths of mordor i met a girl so fair" this song is written in sams point of view

Ramble is one cool as word

not too bad for an old zeppelin tune, although they will remain forever timeless.
Seriously Good job Man
If Led Zeppelin Exsisted back in the Hobbit Era It would fit them perfectly
Great Job Man
good job man!!

i commend you on a job well done
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.
That right there sounds like they might have made a song about LOTR....
@johntel16 Violin solo?
I think it's not a violin solo but an electric guitar solo that sounds like a violin
This reminds me of poor tom.
maybe the girl is the ring and it symbolises frodos love for the ring
lol gandalf would be considered homeless if he was seen on the streets of nyc
Why do you have to hear or read it somewhere. I drew the very same conclusion myself.
