Led Zeppelin. The name means so many things to me. It is an entity that is
visceral and primitive
Led Zeppelin has weight and mass while remaining mysterious and oblique and
ethereal.
It is fulfilling as sleep and dirty as a broken bottle in the gutter. It is
raunchy and direct, sly and timeless.
The songs seems to be taken from the Universal Ether…or as Robert Plant once
said “ The Cosmic Energy … “
These songs seem to have always existed somehow and somewhere and it was the
massed assemblage and innate talents of these 4 men to bring them down from
the ether for us all to experience.
The thing about the band is they seemed to make it all seem so natural and
casual.
It all was presented in confidence and clarity while maintaining a certain
mystique.
The sound was of a stuttering step of knowing and communication for the
world to acknowledge. An icon of the human condition of wanting, traveling,
power, reverence, glory and the seeking of wisdom.
The clarity and mustiness of times and things past remembered with revelry
and celebration.
It is familiar and strange at the same time. a central nervous system that
flexes to life in spite of the time or the location or circumstances.
Sweating and seeking something secret and seething. Capturing plain truth
and enraptured in myths.
An immersion and diversion into perversion.
You can almost smell the burning elements coming from the overlapping layers
of instinct and musicianship. The ozone residue after a storm.
The maneuverings and machinations of Love like lava
Flowing together, leaping loads of life writhing down a volcano from
Valhalla.
Sweating and seeking something secret and seething.
Capturing plain truth and enraptured in myth.
You can almost smell the burning elements coming from the overlapping layers
of instinct and musicianship.
Friendship, worship, warship.
The Demon dreaming and his weaving and his semen steaming.
Something is right about all they accomplished. An amalgam of spirits set in
dynamic azimuths and interlocking time.
Vandals, scandals and candles. The unique dedication and honor of a dog
smiling captured with the lively bounce of song.
Pagans freewheeling across the lands with abandon. Balance.
Dragons and lightening captured in a bottle sparking and leaping across the
synapses to recognition.
