One Reply to “Monday Music: Led Zeppelin: Kashmir (live)”
Zep reminds us that “Kashmir” remains among the most inventive and transporting of power chord workouts. It also feels like a pointed way to connect Middle eastern culture to Western, bridging a badly-damaged global connection and heal blindness. “To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
And not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Oh, baby, I been blind”
