Kashmir
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.
Oh, I been flying… mama, there ain’t no denyin’
I’ve been flying, ain’t no denyin’, no denyin’
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I’ve been.
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin’ through Kashmir.
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.
When I’m on, when I’m on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I’m down…
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I’m down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Let me take you there. Let me take you there

Physical Graffiti is the sixth album, a double album by the English hard rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released on February 24, 1975 (see 1975 in music) and was the band’s first release on its own Swan Song Records label.
The remaining eight songs were all recorded during the sessions for Physical Graffiti in early 1974. Additional overdubs were added and the final mixing was performed in October 1974 by Keith Harwood.
The original album jacket for the LP included die-cut windows on the building shown on the cover. As the inner sleeves for the discs were inserted in different orientations, various objects and people would appear in the windows, including photos of the band members in drag. The two buildings photographed for the album cover are located at 96 and 98 St. Mark’s Place in New York City.[1] [2] These are the same buildings Mick Jagger is in front of in the Rolling Stones music video “Waiting on a Friend”.
A review in Rolling Stone magazine referred to Physical Graffiti as Led Zeppelin’s “bid for artistic respectability”, adding that the only competition the band had for the title of ‘World’s Best Rock Band’ were The Rolling Stones and The Who.[3] The album was a massive commercial and critical success, reaching #1 on Billboard’s Pop Albums chart, and has proven to be one of the most popular releases by the group, selling 16 million copies in the United States alone. Physical Graffiti was the first album to go gold on advance orders alone.[4] Shortly after the release of Physical Graffiti, all previous Led Zeppelin albums simultaneously re-entered the top-200 album chart.[5] In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Physical Graffiti the 28th greatest album of all time; in 2000 Q placed it at number 32 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever; and in 2001 the same magazine named it as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time. In 2003 the TV network VH1 named it the 71st greatest album ever. Rolling Stone ranked it #70 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

A happy birthday to :
John Henry Bonham (1948 –1980) was an English musician and songwriter, best
known as the drummer of Led Zeppelin. Bonham was esteemed for his speed,
power, fast right foot, distinctive sound, and “feel” for the groove. He is
widely considered to be one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock
music. Rolling Stone readers named him the “best drummer of all time” in
2011.
The Legend lives on…
Led Zeppelin – Kashmir
From the album : Physical Graffiti (1975)
“Kashmir” is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their sixth
album Physical Graffiti, released in 1975. It was written by Jimmy Page and
Robert Plant (with contributions from John Bonham) over a period of three
years with lyrics dating to 1973. The song became a concert staple, being
performed by the band at almost every concert since its release. Page and
Plant released a longer live version, recorded with an Egyptian/Moroccan
orchestra, on No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded (1994) and
continued to perform the tune with an orchestra on their 1995 tour.
The song runs for 8:28, a length that radio stations usually consider too
long to play. However, upon its release, radio stations had no problem
playing “Kashmir”, especially after seeing “Stairway to Heaven”, which was
almost as long, do so well. (Original LP releases of Physical Graffiti
incorrectly list the song’s length as 9:41.)
The song’s signature chord progression, which first appeared on Page’s
home-studio work tapes, was an extension of a guitar-cycle that Page had
been working on for years. This was the same cycle that produced “Black
Mountain Side”, “White Summer”, and the unreleased track, “Swan-song”.
Because bass player and keyboardist John Paul Jones had been late for the
recording sessions, Page used the time to work on the riff with drummer
John Bonham. The two demoed it late in 1973. Plant later added the middle
section, and in early 1974, Jones added the string parts.
Page adopted an alternative guitar tuning: the strings are tuned to ‘Open
Dsus4’ or DADGAD. Bonham’s drums featured a phasing effect courtesy of an
Eventide Instant Phaser PS-101 supplied by engineer Ron Nevison. Plant
stated that Bonham’s drumming is the key to the song: “It was what he
didn’t do that made it work”. Sections of the song utilize a polymeter
effect, with the drums and lyrics in quadruple meter while the melodic
instruments play a triple meter rhythmic pattern.
The song includes many distinctive musical patterns of classical Moroccan,
Indian and Middle Eastern music. Page explained, “I had a sitar for some
time and I was interested in modal tunings and Arabic stuff. It started off
with a riff and then employed Eastern lines underneath.”
Orchestral brass and strings with electric guitar and mellotron strings
appear in the song. This is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs to use
outside musicians. Session players were brought in for the string and horn
sections. According to Jones, “the secret of successful keyboard string
parts is to play only the parts that a real string section would play. That
is, one line for the First Violins, one line for Second Violins, one for
Violas, one for Cellos, one for Basses. Some divided parts two or more
notes to a line are allowed, but keep them to a minimum. Think melodically”.
The lyrics were written by Plant in 1973 immediately after Led Zeppelin’s
1973 US Tour, in an area he called “the waste lands” of Southern Morocco,
while driving from Goulimine to Tantan in the Sahara Desert. This was
despite the fact that the song is named after Kashmir, a region in the
northwestern part of the Himalayas. As Plant explained to rock journalist
Cameron Crowe:
The whole inspiration came from the fact that the road went on and on and
on. It was a single-track road which neatly cut through the desert. Two
miles to the East and West were ridges of sandrock. It basically looked
like you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was
seemingly no end to it. ‘Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to
fill my dreams…’ It’s one of my favourites…that, ‘All My Love’ and ‘In
the Light’ and two or three others really were the finest moments. But
‘Kashmir’ in particular. It was so positive, lyrically.
Plant also commented on the challenges he faced in writing lyrics for such
a complex piece of music:
It was an amazing piece of music to write to, and an incredible challenge
for me … Because of the time signature, the whole deal of the song is…
not grandiose, but powerful: it required some kind of epithet, or abstract
lyrical setting about the whole idea of life being an adventure and being a
series of illuminated moments. But everything is not what you see. It was
quite a task, ’cause I couldn’t sing it. It was like the song was bigger
than me. It’s true: I was petrified, it’s true. It was painful; I was
virtually in tears.
In an interview he gave to William S. Burroughs in 1975, Page mentioned
that at the time the song was composed, none of the band members had ever
been to Kashmir.
All four members of Led Zeppelin have agreed that “Kashmir” is one of their
best musical achievements. John Paul Jones suggested that it showcases all
of the elements that made up the Led Zeppelin sound. Plant has stated that
“Kashmir” is the “definitive Led Zeppelin song”,and that it “was one of my
favourite Led Zeppelin tracks because it possessed all the latent energy
and power that wasn’t heavy metal. It was something else. It was the pride
of Led Zeppelin.” During a television interview in January 2008, he also
named “Kashmir” as his first choice of all Led Zeppelin songs that he would
perform, commenting “I’m most proud of that one”. Page has indicated he
thinks that the song is one of the band’s best compositions.
Led Zeppelin expert Dave Lewis describes “Kashmir” as follows:
Unquestionably the most startling and impressive track on Physical
Graffiti, and arguably the most progressive and original track that Led
Zeppelin ever recorded. ‘Kashmir’ went a long way towards establishing
their credibility with otherwise skeptical rock critics. Many would regard
this track as the finest example of the sheer majesty of Zeppelin’s special
chemistry.

One of my favorite songs to blast in my car, especially while rolling with
a buddy is Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. Aside from being a bad-ass song, it
reminds me of the movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Just no crash. =)
