live on twitch it also helps me get closer to becoming an affiliate on twitch so it'd be a big
help if you guys click follow um we'll be hanging out listening to live music together getting up
to all sorts of fun so i'll catch you guys later today okay this is the second track of their first
album led zeppelin one released in 1969 i have covered their first track good times bad times
but as many of you guys have suggested because of this band's music kind of being flawless and
their catalogue being flawless it's worth going through the entire discography and that's what
i'll be doing from the bottom to the top i'll be going in order of track listing now this
track is actually a cover of an old folk song by anne breden and recorded by john bays but what i
find quite interesting is that some commenters some of you guys seem to think hip-hop is terrible
unoriginal and derivative and that there's no art in hip-hop or no art in sampling music however
isn't it quite interesting that here we are again with a new led zeppelin song with another
led zeppelin song which is a cover of an old track previously be covered when the levee breaks which
was a cover of an old blues song so i i find it a little bit hypocritical from people who accuse
hip-hop of being bad because they steal yet led zeppelin is amazing um i think it's okay across
the board but for whatever reason these commenters don't seem to see the hypocrisy of their argument
why is it okay when zeppelin does it and they're amazing and incredible musicians and bad when
hip-hop does it oh it's a cover it's different because it's a cover well this band notoriously
has been accused of plagiarism throughout their careers whether it was the yardbirds
it was stealing entire bits of lyrics from older blue singers
i do this think this band is amazing and they make great music and that it's okay to use older tracks
in order to spark something new i think that's sort of the point of art to inspire
new generations and so that my only problem with the argument is that you can't pick and
choose like it's okay when zeppelin does it but hip-hop is bad they're terrible they're thieves
when they do it you've got to kind of see the hypocrisy in that regardless of all of that
this is babe i'm going to leave you i'm excited to hear this one this band's music has been
amazing from the tracks that i've heard so far they haven't missed yet so let's get into the
music yo what's up guys this is actually from the end of the video i am actually trying to

wow
i said baby
you know i'm gonna leave you
i'll leave you when that summertime leave you when the summer comes
leave you when the summer comes whoa
baby baby baby baby baby
oh yeah
baby baby
i can hear it calling me the way it used to do
what can hear it go let me
okay i'm gonna pause it there um so far this track has been a super interesting listen
so let's start with uh musically this is a quite a interesting mix of sounds to me it has almost a
latin music uh sort of vibe especially with those guitars it sounds like i don't know
like a flamenco track or something paige is doing a brilliant job of building up
the suspense of this track into the explosions that inevitably happened with this band's music
someone left a brilliant comment in the ocean it might have been or maybe even north korea my
reaction to it where they talked about how led zeppelin creates music with different textures
and i totally see what that guy was talking about because this band has an ability to in your mind
create images of what you what they're saying what you feel through the music and a lot of
the time it's very fantastical they have a great mystical element to the music
and they're doing it once again so with the way that the pianos especially this quieter
more somber parts i feel like it's like a misty fog in the way and this guy is sort of
delivering these really regretful lines about the fact that he knows that this relationship
that he's in is inevitably going to come to its end great theme and great imagery and textures
that they present to put these images in your mind great job in terms of the musicianship
in terms of plant singing i feel like i hear a change in his voice over time i've heard him
now all the way up to in 1973 this was in 1969 in the album houses of the holy where his voice
definitely sounds different to where it is here i would say
here in maybe night in the 1960s i'm guessing they probably didn't understand that the voice
is an instrument and that you probably have to take care of your voice over time
these guys are probably smoking drinking not like singers would do today where they have like
sort of people who are helping them keep the condition of their voice really high
and so i feel like his voice deteriorated ever so slightly it doesn't have this strange kind of uh
i don't know how to quite describe it he just got more oomph and range to him at the moment
um he certainly got a really cool lower register that i didn't hear so much in his later tracks i
might be proved wrong by that but yeah great track so far great vibe i'll take it back a little bit
see that it sounds like it's a giant fork around you you know like you're in the smoky mountains
oh
wow right into that somber mood again oh
gonna leave your
wow
is
okay so he uh plants delivery here and the lyrics are obviously directed at a woman right but
it seems like whoever this person is has become sort of an addiction to him like the way he's
talking about i have to quit you i have to quit you baby like you're not good for me anymore
he might this might have been a relationship that was like quite um twisted intense emotional and
although it's hot and you know has its moments of fun is turned into something that is really like
troubling this guy because this the emotion that he's letting out here is like pure like
i have to do this i have to do this for the to move on with my life for to go to something better
and every time i love one plant says woman the way he delivers that that little word
every time he does it i love it um yeah again the the band has this dynamic of going loud and quiet
um i covered a lot of nirvana's music perhaps um kurt was a fan of paige i'm not too sure and led
zeppelin maybe maybe he was maybe people would let me know but they sort of did that to a much more
simpler version they they made the structure of their songs really really based around
quiet loud explosions but le zeppelin has that they love something certainly has different
textures throughout their songs and i really like when they do that my favorite parts are
actually when it goes quiet again and you can really hear plants vocals come through and it
creates this really mysterious mood through the guitars i'm going to take it back a little bit
i love when he does that man
it's good to have you back again
we're gonna go walking through the park every day
he's got an incredible voice maybe the best i've heard so far
good
you made me happy every single day
bonzo
ah
it's wow
wow what great ending to that track
what incredible combination of genres that they put together there you've got a folk lyrical
delivery maybe bluesy you've got like a latin kind of guitar delivery something like flamenco-ish
and then you've got the heavy drums of bonham coming through once again when this band
connects bonham with the guitar which i've heard that is actually quite a unique thing usually
drum players play alongside the bass but bonham actually
connects with paige more often and when they have that connection and the guitar and the
drum is going together it's really the most impactful moments of this band also they did this
great great thing about let's say two the last third of the way through the song where
paige was singing away from the microphone this crazy core man he's got an amazing voice
he might have the best rock voice i've heard so far um such a unique tone to it
and i think he's like 19 when he gave this uh a vocal delivery of this when he recorded this track
so once again this band just had it from the start when you're 19 and you're delivering
music like this like where does that come from how how some people are just born with like ridiculous
talent and i think that's the case with a lot of these guys in this band um great song great vibe
um i wanna to speak a little bit more about plant's voice as well
um he's got a certain quality to it that i imagine like girls would go crazy over like he's got a
the only way i would describe could describe it is a virility
that comes across when he sings like he sounds like a a hyper like um viral man i don't know
how else to describe it i i really do imagine like this kind of song live performance i mean
the girls must have gone crazy for him um i know plant was a good looking dude too so yeah man must
have been good to to live his life in the 60s and 70s um yeah brilliant vocals man brilliant
brilliant vocals um i think that was the star of the show on this truck in this song so once
again i think this is the fifth song of this i've heard so far another thumbs up man great track
