to be completely honest i thought that i should start joining the led zep tumblr community by doing something mind-blowing, SO.
a brief pre-story: i collect cd’s and have very many different stuff but my true pride is my collection of zeppelin japanese cd’s that are the vinyl replicas. and actually the thing that caught my eye about them is that the japanese issues in general have the booklets with original primary-source lyrics.
i know that some of the zep lyrics are often get misinterpreted due to various reasons so i thought that it would be interesting to some of you if i post the lyrics from the japanese issues’ booklets!!
some areas are a little overexposed due to the glossy paper but i made the notes for you to be able to read what is there!!
led zeppelin I
led zeppelin II
led zeppelin III
the untitled (or led zeppelin IV)
also includes the original stairway to heaven lyrics:
houses of the holy
this one is interesting by the way because it has the original booklet that came with the vinyl issue in ‘73.
physical graffiti
i had to merge them in one picture due to the limit i’m sorry tell me if it’s unreadable!!
presence
in through the out door
coda
SO… to be completely honest when i saw achilles last stand for the first time my jaw dropped.
anyway feel free to give your thoughts and opinions as i myself see that some stuff is totally surprising (like achilles again) and differs from what is often posted on internet.
Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?…
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
(Above is a great definition of Surat Shabd Yoga, Inner Sound Meditation, The Yoga of Sound)
And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinking low
Just believe, and you can't go wrong
In the light, you will find the road
You will find the road
[ I hope you all had a great weekend. ]

the good thing about singing along to led zeppelin songs is that you can sing whatever however you want because i'm 99% sure that not even robert plant knows the lyrics and what pitch he's supposed to be singing in
same goes for the guitar: with guitar solos up to 30 minutes long it's gotta be in there somewhere
