Led Zeppelin – Thank You

"Thank You" as written by James Patrick (jimmy) Page and Robert Anthony Plant....
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me

Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die
My, my, my inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration look, see

And so today, my world it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one
Happiness, no more be sad
Happiness, I'm glad

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
Mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me

    General CommentIn 1990, I got married and 3 days later my husband was shipped off to Germany. I joined him a couple of months later after I graduated high school. He picked me up at the airport and took me to the crappy little apartment he'd rented for us because it was all we could afford. So there we were, by ourselves, no family or friends, in a foreign country... He had discovered Zeppelin beyond Stairway during our separation, and he played this song on the stereo in our tiny little apartment and we danced close... We are still married to this day. This song expresses the solidity of a relationship like ours.

    General Comment"Kind woman, I give you my all. Kind woman, nothing more."

    That's all a woman should ever want to hear.

    "If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me."

    The most poignant of all statements I've heard in all my life. A lover tells his beloved his love for her knows no bounderies, no sense of time, no end.

    The instrumental conclusion brings the two lovers together after the man confesses to the woman just how much love he has for her. In a way, you could suppose, they cling to one another, dancing, even after the song seems to have ended. Strangely, for me, having listened to it so much, the song never seems to have an ending. It concludes the way it begins, but it never seems to end. This idea of perpetual love hits. The moment you stop hearing the song, the silence continues the song. The lovers' dance is never-ending.

    Inspiration's what you are to me
    Inspiration, look and see

    And so today, my world it smiles
    Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
    Thanks to you it will be done
    For you to me are the only one

    Happiness, no more be sad
    Happiness.... I’m glad

    If the sun refused to shine
    I would still be loving you
    Mountains crumble to the sea
    There will still be you and me

    General Comment"An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see."... (or "inspiration's what you are to me") is my favourite song line/lyric. What a beautiful thing to say to a person or about them. I think I'm in love -- with Robert's voice -- it's like bringing a bit of Heaven to Earth -- let that lovelight keep shining on Baby!
