‘Good artists borrow, great artists steal.’ Some of the shit Zeppelin did
with regard to “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” and some others was shameless.
But….if anyone is going to say they weren’t great artists, well, they’re
insane. And this whole idea that they stole “Stairway” is idiotic. I
think they copied 4 notes in the beginning. Please.
That’s awesome he talks about meeting a girl in Mordor. It’s the ring
that’s the girl. Gollum took it an fell into lava. Lol the lead singer was
a huge Lord of the Rings fan
Mine’s a tale that can’t be told, my freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.
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, her,
her….yeah. <3
Its weird how a google search for the lyrics has many sites with the end
line as ‘searching for my bluebird’ when its clearly ‘searching for my
BABY’ lol.
What is the rest of the sentence when he says, “I can’t stop this feeling
in my heart..” and says something else like “everytime I think about my
babe I say___”. What is it? Around 3:44 ish
You may notice that in mordor he “met” a girl… The ring was never met in
mordor. Destroyed, yes. Created, okay. The ring was met by gollum in a
stream while he was still smeagol, you may remember. Then, again, the ring
was later met, by frodo’s grandfather, when he won it from gollum in a
riddle contest.
The girl’s a girl, or some way deeper meaning than ties into the lord of
the rings than what has been discussed, over-discussed, here.
There are scholars on the subject just of the lord of the rings, I’ve
heard. Maybe one of them…
(also, I mean, would you compare yourself to a hobbit in a song? I mean,
really? I wouldn’t)
Dont forget to #OpenUpYourEyes just because the moon lights the way.
Yes he finally saved me from Gollum, the Evil one.

My cousin and I have been debating for years about this song.
He believes that it is a song about Frodo, but I’m fairly sure he’s wrong.
I’m 99% sure that it’s a song about Samwise.
My clues:
“In the Darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.” ( He thinks this
refers to Frodo facing Shelob, but I think it’s Sam taking the burden of
the ring.)
“I’ve been this way ten years to the day…” (In the books Sam has a scene
in the final chapter where he clasps his chest and says ” I am wounded, and
it will never really heal.”)
Does anyone else think of Dean Winchester? Lol I love this song! X3
One of Dean Winchester’s favorite songs, the other one being Traveling
Riverside Blues.
Dean this is for you homie
This could be my favorite LZ song….the bass, the words, the
everything….
Whoever, or whomever the stole it from, they crushed it.

What was “a girl so fair” doing in the darkest depths of mordor?
It may not have been very wise to look at her only in the dark. He may be
wasting his life looking for her……?
Well, they made a right mess of the Tolkien references in this one, eh?
Great band, though.
Yes I heard it in the film Oblivion :)
I didn’t think Gollum was capable of stealing someone’s girl…maybe i
should start wearing a loin cloth…

Its sad how everybody is like o i love this band because of some fictional
character but atleast more people r discovering zeppelin
*whispers* deeaaaannnn winchessssterrrr
oblivion was a good movie
the legends in the soul…………..
Did they just use a Lord of the Rings reference?
I noticed some folk influences ( esp. guitar ) and Tolkien’s trilogy!
I cant imagine that some of this music was considered not appropiate for
kids if only parents back then had miley
Maybe the girl was “precious” to Gollum. XD
lord of the rings references :)

Discuss.
He’d better be talking about the One ring, otherwise Gollum wouldn’t have
any business with some girl.
