Now imagine that you're 15, and sitting in your high school cafeteria, when you hear this song for the first time because it gets played over the audio system...but you have no idea who the artists are, nor the name of the song. And it's the Spring of 1972, so there's no internet. But you never stop trying to find that out, because the song captures your soul. So eventually, 6 years later, your step brother finally clues you in...after which you go out and buy ALL of Led Zeppelin's albums :=)

In a nutshell, it was a tribute to the college students that helped set up the venue. *Immigrant Song was written during Led Zeppelin's tour of Iceland, Bath and Germany in the summer of 1970. The opening date of this tour took place in Reykjavík, Iceland, which inspired Plant to write the lyrics. He explained in an interview: We weren't being pompous ... We did come from the land of the ice and snow. We were guests of the Icelandic Government on a cultural mission. We were invited to play a concert in Reykjavik and the day before we arrived all the civil servants went on strike and the gig was going to be cancelled. The university prepared a concert hall for us and it was phenomenal. The response from the kids was remarkable and we had a great time. 'Immigrant Song' was about that trip and it was the opening track on the album that was intended to be incredibly different. Six days after Led Zeppelin's appearance in Reykjavik, the band performed the song for the first time in concert during the Bath Festival.

Your reaction here? Got you a subscription! What a track. Timeless. You saying ‘this is one for the freeway’? You got me. Took me back to a road trip on a German autobahn. Circa 1979. For you non European guys, autobahn then meant no speed limit. Yup! None! So, whaddya gonna play on the stereo? First up? The iconic ‘Autobahn’ by the German ‘krautrock’ pioneers Kraftwerk. Good shout, and we settled into a high speed groove. As you do. After 20 minutes of wonderfully enigmatic and rythmic synth music, my mate wanted to, er, ‘up the tempo and let’s see what this girl can do.’ He put on ‘The Immigrant Song’, and before I know it we’re doing 200kph. That’s around 125mph for you luddites! 😝 A buzz like little else, and over the piece I’ve buZZed a bit. THAT’S high speed driving music; Polo you are correct, sir. As a closer, he played Rush. Of course. Xanadu. Clearly a trip made extra special by ‘The Immigrant Song’. Is it just me (this is the edit here) or does anyone else feel that this song gives two fingers - here - or the bird, over there, to the right wing nut jobs grappling for power right now?

We got pulled over constantly because of the car and our leather jackets but we were always polite to the police and were always let go with a warning. We had so much fun driving all over Vancouver BC back when it was still amazing.

You've heard this in Thor Ragnarok - at the start of the movie! Zeppelin doesn't allow their songs to be used, very rarely. I've only heard them 3x in films. The producer of Thor filmed the starting scene with Chris Hemlock fighting, added this track, then sent it to them to ask permission! The mention of Valhalla in the song also made it was a perfect fit, but they had to convince Zeppelin. The other two movies that featured Zep tracks were 1) The Big Short - When the Levee Breaks (totally appropriate for that movie!!) and the second movie was The Adam Project - Good Times Bad Times. :)

Hey, I appreciate your love of exploring and experiencing music. Much love, man. I thought I'd suggest two Zep songs: "Your Time is Gonna Come" - it's smooth, each band member shines, great production and damn fine vibe and song. It's not one that people tend to suggest, but it's SO good. You will love it. "Good Times Bad Times" - an absolute banger and really REALLY shows off what Zep is about. Also, this one is special, because it is the first song on their first album. This is how they said, "HELLO. We are the new ones that will rock the world". I know you've got a ton of songs from all sorts of artist you'll be doing, but if you feel the itch to go for either or both of these two tunes, I am quite certain you will be very pleased.
