Thank You

In 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.

"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.

If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you When mountains crumble to the sea There would 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 Our love is strong With you there is no wrong Together we shall go until we die. My, my, my

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

(Solo)

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

FTRIAA

I want to have sex to this song

"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!

Another one here who had it as their wedding song. What is a wedding without a bit of led zeppelin thrown in for good measure :)

My boyfriend and I love this song (and led Zeppelin!) sooo much, we've decided to make it our wedding song when we get married. ;-)

just an all around good song. very poetic. Great for mix tapes to the girlfriend.

this was Robert Plants tribute to his (then) wife.

With the current increasing rate of divorces in this country, this beautiful wedding song..is abruptly being followed by LZs "Your time is gonna come" LOL
