Baby
Mmm baby
'M gonna bring it on home to you
I've got my ticket, I've got that load
Gone up, go higher, all aboard
'M take my seat, a-right way back, ooooh yeah
Watch this train goin' down the track
Gonna bring it on home
Bring it on home to you
Watch out, watch out, man move

Try to tell you baby
What you tryin' to do
Tryin' to love me baby
Love some other man too
Bring it on home, bring it on home

Went 'n a little walk downtown, ah yeah
Missed 'n got back late
Found a note there waiting
An' it said, Daddy, I just can't wait
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it back home, bring it back home to me baby

Tell you, pretty baby
You love to mess me 'roun'
I'm gonna give you lovin', baby
Gonna move you outta town
Bring it on home, bring it on home

Sweetest little baby
Daddy ever saw
I'm gonna keep you lovin' baby
I'm gonna give you more
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it on home, alright

Bring it on home
Bring it on home to you

    When your as sad a person as I am, you tend to sit around and listen to nothing but your music. And if you do that enough you start noticing bits of the song that people who are listening to it for the first time dont. John Bonham's drums are just one of these elements of this song. If you listen closely to the background you will hear him meticulously change up tiny parts of his tempo. It is his drumming that glue all of the glorious parts from all of the magnificent members together.

    Robert Plant's ability to perform blues songs verges on the genius. In the slow into to this track he actually mimics the natural tremello that was a feature of Sonny Boy Williamsons voice. Have a go yourself - play a copy of Bring It On Home by Sonny Boy Williamson and then play Zeppelin's version. You have, in a nutshell their uniqueness: the ability to persent largely traditional, blues based music in a way that was relevant for their time. Plant was an absolutely magificent vocalist.

    I think this track is about some guy's lust for his cheating girl.

    you cannot be a hardcore led zeppelin fan and not love this song. its led zeppelin at its best. its got the slow start, and then just totally explodes into an awsome guitar solo. it blew me away the first time i heard it. anyways, i had to post this, seeing as how i couldnt believe no one had posted something for this song.

    I like, on the DVD, Robert Plant says "this is song that comes from the deep south of america, and ended up in earl's court." i enjoyed that, i dunno.

    hey cartman, he was talking about "In My Time of Dying" but good song nonetheless. You gotta love it.

    This is one of those songs, where youre just waiting for Page to start something on his guitar, and then there is that brief pause.... and then boom. And it follows along that "standard blues riff" that many guitarists have to know.

    the 3encircledpoints, I've been doing that too, espically noticing Bonzo's druming, but i'm also noticing that Jimmy isn't that great on guitar. I reallylike this song. initally i skipped over it but then I gave it a go and I love it. But has anyone heard th original? The begining, It is practically the same, even the harmonica, so it's hardly any wonder they got busted for it. Watch Mulholland Dr. its a good movie and it also has the originally of that song for a few seconds, either way you won't be disappointed!

    this is by far my favorite led zeppelin blues song. it has a good harmonica part, good guitar riff, and even the lyrics are bluesy. led zeppelin is an awesome band. i'm going to disagree with you, leonie. though, i maybe you just meant that he isn't that technically skilled. if you just mean that then i guess i'll agree, but otherwise i think he has a great sense of timing and feeling.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
