Radio Paradise (mobile)

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go.
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Whoa, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had.
Whoa, the songs to sing
When we at last return again.
Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil's in his home.
Whoa, to sail away
Sandy lands and other days.
Whoa, to touch the dream
That hides inside and is never seen, yeah.
Into the sun of south and north
At last the birds have flown.
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground.
Whoa, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din.
Whoa, to laugh aloud
Dancing high above the crowd, yeah.
Seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
Celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah.
Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summer's glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow.
Whoa, the sweet refrain
It soothes the soul and calms the pain.
Oh, Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again.
Wandering the wanderings
What place to rest the search?
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth,
From the earth...
I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.
I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth.

kojiroh Feb 13, 2013 - 01:25	This is probably my favorite piece from Zep. Not many people like it I guess. But seeing as people commented on its likeness to Yes (my favorite band) and Rush, it's perfectly understandable that I like it so much. [ Reply ]
Eric_Lowrance Jan 12, 2013 - 18:56	Too long, really? Grow an attention span people, this song has one of the best martial inspired rock drum tracks ever laid down, an army of swirling, snarling guitars punctuated by a solo torn from Page's soul, a relentless, galloping bass line that would leave most players whimpering in submission and a tempo that builds to speed metal territory before there was even a musical category to describe it. All in one song no less! [ Reply ]

Interestingly enough, in 1981 Page joined with Yes bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White to form a supergroup called XYZ (for ex-Yes-Zeppelin). They rehearsed several times, but the project was shelved. Bootlegs of these sessions revealed that some of the material emerged on later projects, notably The Firm's "Fortune Hunter" and Yes songs "Mind Drive" and "Can You Imagine?". Page joined Yes on stage in 1984 at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund , Germany, playing " I'm Down ". [ Reply ]

Keef Oct 10, 2012 - 14:34	I must have discovered Led Zep in '76 when this album came out. I must have worn out the vinyl on the record. Listened to the rest of the catalog later, but the album Presence and this song in particular are the real Zep to me. [ Reply ]
TJS Aug 08, 2012 - 14:14	One of the most intense drum beats that I have ever tried to play. Amazing talent, John Bonham. What a loss. [ Reply ]

People admitting they hadnt heard this track before but claiming to be Zep fans? Eluding that it might be a rip off of Heart? Complaining about the run time? You folks need to take some R&R 101 classes before you continue to post. Dave - I'm with you on some of this but this is not a typical Zep song, not just the radio songs but even a typical deep album cut. I still stand by my statement that Geddy Lee, Neal Peart and Alex Lifeson had this record on repeat play while they were writing and recording. [ Reply ]
