Cliff 63 yr old rock chick here 😅 you nailed it as far as I'm concerned. Yes it's a trip, yes it's a journey, yes there's eastern inspired chord progression musically & vocally exactly where you commented. AND the lyrically you feel like the wisdom of the ages is being told if you just listen. Thankyou. Your soul is appreciated 💛✌🏼
Such a freaking banger. Studio version is how we first experienced it. Please check out Since I've been loving you live MSG performance 1973 . Great reaction and Peace out Cliff ☮️ ✌️ 🙏 BTW I saw Robert Plant live in Toronto in 88 and his vocals are insane. Stevie Ray Vaughan opened up. The tour was the first time Robert had rights to perform Zeppelin tunes...so great. There's no meaning in rock songs? That's an ignorant statement 🙄 Robert Plant Vocals Jimmy Page Guitar John Paul Jones Keys and Bass John( Bonzo)Bonham Drums
This was about a journey Plant & Page driving through the desert, on their way to Morocco. They were on their way to a music festival. How for miles & miles it was like a waste land yet beautiful. About not understanding the language of the people, but music brought them together. Plant fell in love with Morocco, & still visits there often. This song took a couple years to get perfect, yes they give it all their passion. They loved performing writing etc.
Led Zeppelin are GOAT of rock! If you want to hear and feel one of best drums solo in history, i recommend "Moby Dick". John Bohnam storytelling, and he is on fire!🔥There are live versions 20+ minutes long, and Bonzo is making looove with 🥁!😊 Anyway, i love your reaction, and hello from Serbia 🇷🇸!
My favourite Led Zeppelin song!! It always reminds me of the first time I saw the Rocky Mountains!! It was breathtakingly beautiful and my parents had this cassette, and they played it as we approached the gate of Jasper National Park (we're in Alberta Canada). One of my favourite childhood memories ❤
Everything about this song is epic, and in several members of Led Zeppelin commented that Kashmir is the song they would like to be most remembered for. I'm glad you reacted to the lyrics of this masterpiece, and to the moronic comment about rock lyrics in general. Rock artists have won several prestigious rewards for lyrics, including a Nobel Peace Prize. I think Stairway to Heaven live at MSG 1973, Babe I'm Gonna Leave YOU studio version, and Since I've Been Loving You studio version would be great choices.
The concert for Celebration Day in the early 2000’s was smashing and that version of Kashmir is my favorite. It’s definitely worth checking out that concert!!
I'm so happy to hear this again. I remember how much that mattered, to be in live when we all listened. Dad would have dug it. Tuesday mom had her first day of chemo and she got sick last night. I needed this. Miss dad every single day and when it gets hard, i remember how much it matters to be there even when it's hard. Day
Kashmir is one of my all time fav songs... I really mean at the top of the top of the list. I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and loved their tunes and when I was in my early teens this song actually gave me hope .. I was a drug user and so high all the time and when I listened to this song the lyrics made complete sense to me. Robert Plant took us all on a journey with him to another place in time, quite possibly a better place and I really needed that as a mental escape from the abuse I had suffered from birth. I love Led Zeppelin, always have, always will.
Led' Zep's "When the Levee Breaks" is their deep, dark blues'iest anthem w: bad-a**est drum intro of John 'Bonzo' Bonham's! & w: harmonica, so even Southerner for Brit's!
You nailed it! Can't even tell you how many artists during interviews have said the exact same thing over the years, lyrics are there for individual interpretation! I'll never tire of your ability to relate to this, thank you!! ☮️ ❤️ 🎶 🎸 🎶
You said you felt like you went on a trip - exactly what the artist was doing in conceiving of this piece. Imagine that! Where does the mind goes when it wanders? ☺
Thankfully, I had the radio and friends with this album. There was no way my parents would allow me to have their music. I can't imagine being 13 without Led Zeppelin.
I would really enjoy it if you would listen/react to Over The Hills And Far Away (studio version) or Ten Years Gone. I’m new to your channel. It’s fun watching you listen to the awesome classic rock songs we did back in the day. ✌️❤️🤘
Folks always forget to put into context the line of the song (near the end) where he mentions Kashmir (foothills of the Himalayan mountains where India, Pakistan and extreme western China meet). He says that traveling thru the wasteland of the Sahara Desert in southern Morrocco, where the sun burns the ground and everything looks brown, no provisions to prepare him for the weather or conditions but his open face, the swirling sands reminded him of *how the dust blows high in June while moving through Kashmir*, so more of a comparison. Robert's wife and her family are from India and immigrated to England when the 2 girls were young (born in 48 and 52 I think). As far as I know they were not originally from the region, but perhaps Robert, the Band, Robert and his family, travelled through Kashmir at some point before the song was written. One other thing that makes them different from a lot of musicians today, they were quite well educated, well read, well-travelled and enjoyed art, music, ect from other cultures, often incorporated it into their craft with their own spin on it!
I painted the first two lines of this song on my graduation cap (along with the TARDIS from Doctor Who) “Oh let the sun beat down upon my face. Stars to fill my dreams. I am a traveler of both Time and Space to be where I have been.”
YAY YAY & YAY WoW i **LUV** EVERYthing YOU had to say about THIS! YAY they put me in a **Trance** consistently as in i am guessing kinda what ya meant by saying a **Trip** cuz well for me the **Trance** is like an out of body experience & whilst i am listening to that **Music** i feel NO **Pain** which is utter & complete **Bliss** for me now in my life
Lyrics, to me, are the most important part of ANY genre of music. They're not just putting some words on a paper....whoever WROTE the song for ANY music MEANT SOMETHING....Just cannot imagine someone saying LYRICS don't matter....ugh....
👏👏👏 So happy you enjoyed it authentically, some songs need the studio version first imo. If you watch other reactions, check out tribal people reaction to this song
Many rock song lyrics are subjective and you can decide what they mean to you. But I think most of them are from real experience or at least partially. What most rock artists will tell you is that either yes it’s a real experience, a dream, or artificially induced if they are honest about it. But, and this is a big but, they will also tell you that you decide what it means to you and that’s why some of them say oh it’s a bunch of nonsense lyrics we put together. The big thing is you decide. About this song, it was after a trip to Morocco, I think, that Robert Plant was so inspired by the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings, that he wrote the lyrics. The best version of it is on the Page and Plant record No Quarter where they do a full concert with an American and India orchestras and the sound will blow you away. Jason Bonham is on the drums to replace his father and it’s amazing! They also have video of it. Now THAT will blow your mind as we used to say in the 60’s.
I am glad that you are dipping your toes into the waters of rock. What about trying out the waters of blues rock? Yous should check out Joe Bonamassa. His performance of Blues Deluxe at the Greek Theater. I promise you it will blow you away. Please and thank you. 😊
I'm a lyrics 11:29 person - I have to know what they're saying and what it means - back in the day we would play songs over and over to figure it out then they started putting lyrics on the liner notes thank god - now you just google it- love this song and love Led Zepplin
While it’s true that most of “our” music is written with meanings behind the songs, someone may have been referring to a song like Stairway to Heaven, in which even Plant himself can give no absolute meaning for. Im pretty sure he said he had to write something quickly and just wrote something down. Kashmir is actually about the desert and I agree, it’s like being on a trip. It’s one of Plants favorite songs, and travel memories.
Funny…I watched a Zeppelin reaction you did months ago and perhaps it was your first listen to them. Might have even been Kashmir from Celebration Day. I don’t recall. But I remember bro g so angry with you…..not because you didn’t immediately drool all over them, but because I felt you really disrespected them. And I haven’t watched you since. Thought I’d take a chance in this one because…well because I felt like hearing Kashmir tonight. How different your approach is now. You seem to have developed respect for them, which is cool. And yeah, the lyrics in this song are DEEP and some of my favorites in rock. Some rock has inane lyrics and some rock has deeply meaningful lyrics. Just like anything else. Anyone who dismisses an entire genre with a sniff is just a very simplistic person.
Cliff, unfortunately those people opening their eyes and still refuse to see. . 60s 70s music i was around for( so damn grateful for that) so picky now on what i like and dont like.
Cliff, for the person that thinks rock lyrics mean nothing, I offer up: Papa Roach, "Last Resort" v. FIR, "Last Resort (Reimagined)" FIR "The Drug In Me Is You" v. FIR "The Drug In Me Is Reimagined" FIR "I'm Not A Vampire" v. FIR "I'm Not A Vampire Revamped"
Much of classic rock leaves the lyrics interpretation to the listener. They don't have to hit you over the head with meaning for you to find it. I assume the people you're talking about listen to people like Beyonce sing "Girls rule the world, repeat repeat repeat" and think that is good music. No offense to Beyonce but I read it took like 9 people or something to write that song??? Freddie Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody all by himself and never explained the meaning to anyone. That is good music. BTW, heard you say you're from Republic MO? I'm typing this in Clever, right down the road. Not from here but lived here since 92. Glad you got away to a real city. Chi town is a great place to be for music. ✌💖😀
I love the you say that in the background, there’s an “India/Middle Eastern sound”… in a song named Kashmir…. Hey folks, wanna take bets he has no idea where Kashmir is?
When The Levee Breaks!
YES!!! Mississippi Delta Blues!!!!!!
Cliff 63 yr old rock chick here 😅 you nailed it as far as I'm concerned. Yes it's a trip, yes it's a journey, yes there's eastern inspired chord progression musically & vocally exactly where you commented. AND the lyrically you feel like the wisdom of the ages is being told if you just listen.

This 65 year old hippie chick agrees! ✌️❤️🤘
When the Levee Breaks should be next!!!

Absolutely Cliff, thats why so many of those artists in their 70s and older still touring and making music . Just beautiful to me.
Possibly my favorite Zeppelin song!!❤❤
LZ is great band to explore. You can go really deep. I do love Ramble On.
GREAT ZEPPELIN TUNE!! But, then again: THEY ALL ARE, to ME!!! One of my FAV BANDS of ALL TIME!!! ENJOY!!
The concert for Celebration Day in the early 2000’s was smashing and that version of Kashmir is my favorite. It’s definitely worth checking out that concert!!

💯 One of my very fav LZ tracks! The reverb on the drums and that massive harmonica are just amazing!
This is my favorite Zeppelin song
This gives chills every time ❤️
You nailed it! Can't even tell you how many artists during interviews have said the exact same thing over the years, lyrics are there for individual interpretation! I'll never tire of your ability to relate to this, thank you!! ☮️ ❤️ 🎶 🎸 🎶

Plant and Page driving through Morocco triggered a song named kashmir by them both. Led Zeppelin #1 for over 50 yrs.
Thankfully, I had the radio and friends with this album. There was no way my parents would allow me to have their music. I can't imagine being 13 without Led Zeppelin.
And catchy. The instrumentation is outstanding and grabs you from the beginning. Robert Plant’s voice is a dream.
I couldn't have clicked faster! They would jam 15 mins or more when they did this song live. It was a vibe. (more than half of us were blasted lol)
If you haven’t done the Led Zeppelin -Immigrant Song you need to. Guess what movie that song is featured in….
Love this song! I have all the Led Zeppelin records . ❤
I would really enjoy it if you would listen/react to Over The Hills And Far Away (studio version) or Ten Years Gone. I’m new to your channel. It’s fun watching you listen to the awesome classic rock songs we did back in the day. ✌️❤️🤘

BANGER!!! Thanks, Cliff!! :) HAPPY FRIYAY!!
Such a great song love it thanks for doing this much love ❤
You should watch the live version 1979 Knebworth show. John Bonham explodes on the drums. My favorite version.
Achilles Last Stand is a masterpiece.
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
Diddy did a song called "Come With Me" featuring Zep guitarist Jimmy Page sampling this song for the 1998 Godzilla movie...
The studio version is THE version the Artist(s) wants you/us to hear. Always listen to it first, then, by all means, choose any subsequent format.
Some people can't understand the meaning of lyrics because their world is very small.
Lyrics, to me, are the most important part of ANY genre of music. They're not just putting some words on a paper....whoever WROTE the song for ANY music MEANT SOMETHING....Just cannot imagine someone saying LYRICS don't matter....ugh....

Kashmir was a country I think it has a different name now.Robert Plant the singer loves this place 😊
Watch this from 1979 at knebworth!!
❤❤❤❤
I am glad that you are dipping your toes into the waters of rock. What about trying out the waters of blues rock? Yous should check out Joe Bonamassa. His performance of Blues Deluxe at the Greek Theater. I promise you it will blow you away. Please and thank you. 😊
This song is about Robert and Jimmy’s trip to Morocco
I'm a lyrics 11:29 person - I have to know what they're saying and what it means - back in the day we would play songs over and over to figure it out then they started putting lyrics on the liner notes thank god - now you just google it- love this song and love Led Zepplin

It’s one of Plants favorite songs, and travel memories.
So play anything from Led Zep, AC DC, Black Sabbath, and Queen, just name a few, and I'll be there.
Yep. Come home after hitin one a few times put on the headphones and just leave your life
👋👋👋MAKE THE DAY COUNT AOD ❤️❤️❤️👵🏼 Gmaw
🔥🔥🔥don’t know much of their music, but this was great🔥🔥🔥👵🏼 Gmaw
I love all of Zeppelin's music, but Kashmir is my favorite
You should react to the Ocean and see if you can figure out the meaning.
Funny…I watched a Zeppelin reaction you did months ago and perhaps it was your first listen to them. Might have even been Kashmir from Celebration Day. I don’t recall.

yeah...that was PDiddy's version
Cliff, unfortunately those people opening their eyes and still refuse to see. . 60s 70s music i was around for( so damn grateful for that) so picky now on what i like and dont like.
Someone doesn't know about the expression of music boss lol. They don't make em like they used to. It's an experience.
Oooh. Can you please do "Desert Rose" by Dting ft. Cheb Mami
Do some Greta Van Fleet!!!
Check out zeps "Lemon song" its blazing trust me!! 😚👍🏻🇬🇧
Regarding lyrics, they weren't that important to us way back when simply because we didn't know what they were half the time!!!! 😅
Try Chris Stapleton COLD.
Cliff, for the person that thinks rock lyrics mean nothing, I offer up:
Papa Roach, "Last Resort" v. FIR, "Last Resort (Reimagined)"
FIR "The Drug In Me Is You" v. FIR "The Drug In Me Is Reimagined"
FIR "I'm Not A Vampire" v. FIR "I'm Not A Vampire Revamped"
I love his songs with Alison Krause but can’t look at him. He went from the most beautiful man in music to looking like my ex.
