Send "Tangerine" Ringtone to Cell

Measuring a summer's day
I only finds it slips away to grey
The hours they bring me pain.

[Chorus:]
Tangerine tangerine
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love she was my queen
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

    Memory:This guy and I both realized we really liked LZ and we actually knew this song. We were just friends, but one day we were talking about the lyrics. He said to me,"Will you remember times like these and think of me?" That was when I knew he was the one I needed to be with...and still are, 2 years later. Me and my sweet tangerine.

    General Comment:The music is simple and warm as a sunbeam on a cold day, and the lyrics and voice express melancholy for the days of the past... I've always loved this song. My other favourites are Ramble on and Baby I'm gonna Leave you.

    General Comment:Page wrote these lyrics as well as the music. He is just a friggin genius and underrated as a guitarist (I think he's better than Clapton, Hendrix, etc.) and especially as a songwriter. Probably one of the most versitile songwriters in history.

    General Comment:Yardbirds song "Knowing that I'm losing you", an earlier version of this song. Retains the same bittersweet feel. youtube.com/…

    My Opinion:ahhh it's so cool to see other people's responses to this song because it's one of my favorites too. It's short, but i cannot explain how much i love it. my favorite line---i was her love, she was my queen and now a thousand years in between..i want to find someone that shares the same emotions as i do whenever i hear this song!! so good...

    General Comment:Although my favourites change from time to time, this has been a favourite for years. I'm more of a hard rock type, but beautiful songs always get to me. Led Zep is the greatest. Yes there are other groups that are more widely known and great in their own right (Beatles, Stones, I won't go on...). However, LZ could do all types of music (Metal, country, ballads, world, etc) better than others in my opinion, mainly because they did whatever they wanted (Yes, the Beatles did as well, also-but not with quite the level of musicianship). Fanatstic song. I love the guitar during the last 5 - 10 seconds at the end.
