Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jack Average	#1 by Jack Tweddell at Sep 20, 2006 at 5:12 AM EST
	The reference to Gollum is just that, a reference. It's a cultural referent; Gollum is the threat of loss, and just in case you didn't get it (like all the people who think this actually refers to a particular episode in Tolkien), they let us know that Gollum and the Evil One crept up and slipped away with her. Gollum is a thief and murderer who lurks in the shadows, but is never far away. Think of him as malevolence, either in fate or in another person.

No Picture alex Lead Player	#2 by alex beaulieu at Oct 11, 2006 at 12:43 PM EST
	Ok ok ok......Yeah.....I love LOTR....I was really excited to find out about the reference at first too..But I think ya'll are getting a little sidetracked here...This has got to be one of the greatest songs...But then again..I feel I say that with all Zeppelin....This band is transcendental...not of this realm....amazing.....This song in particular is very personal for me...It is a travelling song.....There are times in life when you must leave the things and people that you love and cherish....Leave it all to find a new beginning....This song beautifully captures the fear and excitement tinged with sadness that comes when taking the first step on a new road to destination unknown....I feel this song in my heart always.....Choosing a favorite Zeppelin song is like trying to choose a favorite child......But this one is unique and very special...Listen to it again for the first time......I find my self becoming enveloped in the power of this song everytime I hear it :)

	Chris 211, thanks for the insight. I was told it had something to do with LOTR, but I also had the problem with things not matching up, but when you told about the appendix story, it really makes sense.

No Picture Tyler Average	#4 by Tyler Stewart at Dec 17, 2006 at 5:33 AM EST
	i think youre stretching it to say that the song is actually about the return of the king. they just used to the references to help create the kind of mysterious/mystical feeling that a lot of their songs have.

No Picture Wanna Be	#5 by †.::xXMaidenMistressXx::.† at Jun 12, 2007 at 11:56 AM EST
	How can you hate The lord of the rings?! (Or any other work by Tolkien).

No Picture Cailan Average	#6 by Cailan Shotkoski at Jun 17, 2007 at 11:27 AM EST
	wholly Shit Chris, Your Right! I must admit I?m quite impressed

No Picture Ben Wanna Be	#7 by Ben at Aug 1, 2007 at 10:46 PM EST
	i think the "girl so fair" reference is probably just a personal touch to the song having no relation to Tolkien.
