| Page and Plant – The Battle of Evermore (Led Zeppelin cover) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think Zeppelin, who are Brits or Tommys you know, which is very relevant since the title is about a battle, were very influenced by war. The Battle of the Somme is where Britan lost, KIA 20,000 troops on the first morning of the battle, WW1 they say 9 million soldiers lost thier lives, these guys must have been very intro spective about war. I have a hard time beleiving that this tune was trying to relate to nothing less than real events that either happened or about to happen. Considering their genius would only lessen it if it were to mean anything other, however why dosen't someone ask Robert Plant or Jimmy Page? I also do not beleive that Jimmy Page is a Satinist, he may delve into paths in his search for truth that some consider the wrong path, but ultimatly their are "two paths to choose from, and it is never too late to choose the path your on" or something like that. This song wheather intentional or not has real meaning to those that have faith, of course to those that do not have faith there can be other meanings. So realizing that God uses the hand of man to carry out his will; maybe this song was inspired, and maybe Led Zeppelin was not officially aware of this commission. There are alot of questions and our point of view is skewed by where we sit, ultimatly people see things differently depending on what kind of faith one has, which war can destroy or hamper. Pointing out two realities, which is that we all have faith, faith that god does or does not exist, and those who die in Battle have faith, there are NO athiests in fox Holes, it is the aftermath where faith is shaken, questioned or destroyed. The whoe of aftermath, the whoe is not only the physical destruction but the total pschological and bodily destruction that war blankets mankind with. This is a beautiful piece written by the envy of their age with real meaning in it all over, I would have to say it does veterans every where honor, especially those who have died in battle. another recommended tune is War Pigs by Black Sabbath, I swear it is a rock and roll spiritual about War. | |
