• kanımca led zeppelinin en iyi şarkısıdır... baris tanrisi ve isik kralicesinin hayat hakkindaki felsefik konusmalarini icerir...
  • (bkz: thank you)
  • led zeppelin iv'de yeralan muhteşem led zeppelin parçası. şarkıda robert plant ile fairport convention'ın solisti düet yapmaktadır. ayrıca jimmy page bu şarkıda mandolin çalar.
  • queen of light took her bow
    and then she turned to go,
    the prince of peace embraced the gloom
    and walked the night alone.

    oh, dance in the dark of night,
    sing to the morn-ing light.
    the dark lord rides in force tonight
    and time will tell us all.

    oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
    rest not to lock your homes.
    side by side we wait the might
    of the darkest of them all.

    i hear the horses' thunder
    down in the valley below,
    i'm waiting for the angels of avalon,
    waiting for the eastern glow.

    the apples of the valley hold
    the seeds of happiness,
    the ground is rich from tender care,
    repay, do not forget, no, no.
    oh, dance in the dark of night,
    sing to the morning light.

    the apples turn to brown and black,
    the tyrant's face is red.

    oh the war is common cry,
    pick up you swords and fly.
    the sky is filled with good and bad
    that mortals never know.

    oh, well, the night is long
    the beads of time pass slow,
    tired eyes on the sunrise,
    waiting for the eastern glow.

    the pain of war cannot exceed
    the woe of aftermath,
    the drums will shake the castle wall,
    the ringwraiths ride in black,
    ride on.

    sing as you raise your bow,
    shoot straighter than before.
    no comfort has the fire at night
    that lights the face so cold.

    oh dance in the dark of night,
    sing to the mornin' light.
    the magic runes are writ in gold
    to bring the balance back.
    bring it back.

    at last the sun is shining,
    the clouds of blue roll by,
    with flames from the dragon of darkness
    the sunlight blinds his eyes.
  • led zeppelin iv albumunde, stairway to heaven ve misty mountain hop ile beraber icinde lord of the rings temalari barindiran $arkidir. bu konuda web'de sittin tane site olmasina ragmen ufak bir panel de bu entry'de yapilabilir:

    "queen of light took her bow
    and then she turned to go,
    the prince of peace embraced the gloom
    and walked the night alone."

    bazilarina gore "queen of light" galadriel, bazilarina gore arwen evenstar'dir ($ahsi oyum galadriel yonunde, cunku 4th age of the sun'da galadriel de diger bir cok elf gibi valinor'a gitmi$tir). "prince of peace" karakteri de aragorn ve faramir arasinda oynar, ama sanki aragorn daha dogru gibidir, cunku aragorn, "paths of the dead"den gecip (embracing the gloom) sava$a yeti$mek icin ranger'lar ve ringfellow'lari ile birlikte karanlik yoldan gecmi$tir, sadik dostlari di$inda da kimse onunla yolculuk etmemi$tir (walked the night alone). faramir benzetmesini yapan dostlar, genelde gondor savunmasi sirasinda nazgul silahlarindan zehirlenen faramir'in yakalandigi "black sleep" hastaligini du$unurler. olabilir elbet.

    "oh, dance in the dark of night,
    sing to the morn-ing light.
    the dark lord rides in force tonight
    and time will tell us all."

    pek de acik olmasa da sanki burasi da frodo baggins ve dostlarinin $arkilar soyleyerek bree'ye olan yolculuklarini, bu sirada da ringwraith'ler tarafindan takip edilmelerini anlatiyor olabilir. ama hafif muglak, her yoruma acik olabilir...

    "oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
    rest not to lock your homes.
    side by side we wait the might
    of the darkest of them all."

    gondor halkinin askerlerle beraber rammas echor'a dizilip gelen mordor ku$atma kuvvetlerine kar$i savunmasi, bu sirada etrafin gun dogmasina ragmen sauron'un buyuleri yuzunden alacakaranlik olmasi oldukca yakin bir tasvirdir sanirim...

    "i hear the horses' thunder
    down in the valley below,
    i'm waiting for the angels of avalon,
    waiting for the eastern glow"

    rohan atlilarinin pelennor duzluklerine dogru at ko$turmalari ve bu sirada kral theoden thengel'in kalkanindan yansiyan gune$ isiginin gondor savunmasina yeniden guc vermesinin tasviri gibi. bu sirada "eastern glow" gune$in dogu$u, "angels of avalon" da numenor'un elf'lere dost kalan kismi olan middle-earth'un dunedain'leri* olarak yorumlanir. "avalon" ne alaka diye soran olursa, hatirlanmalidir ki numenor'un valinor'a en yakin olan limani "avalon"dur.

    "the apples of the valley hold
    the seeds of happiness,
    the ground is rich from tender care,
    repay, do not forget, no, no.
    oh, dance in the dark of night,
    sing to the morning light.

    the apples turn to brown and black,
    the tyrant's face is red."

    epey bo$ta bir kisim, yorumlara acik. ama robert plant soruldugunda burada ozellikle son iki dizeye dikkat cekmi$, "elmalarin saglikli kirmizi rengi kaybolup giderken - ki bu middle-earth halkinin ne$esi ve mutlulugu - , tyrant* gittikce daha guclu olmakta" diye yorumlami$tir. (tolkien baglantilari sonradan eklenmi$)

    "oh the war is common cry,
    pick up you swords and fly.
    the sky is filled with good and bad
    that mortals never know.

    oh, well, the night is long
    the beads of time pass slow,
    tired eyes on the sunrise,
    waiting for the eastern glow."

    gondor savunmasi ve pelennor duzluklerindeki sava$; bu sirada havada olan ve olumluler tarafindan asla bilinmeyecek kuvvetler de nazgul ve thorondor komutasindaki kartallar. takip eden kita da yine karanlik gunde gune$in parlamasini ve umut getirmesini bekleyen savunma kuvvetleri. hatirlamak gerekir ki, hornburg savunmasinda aragorn, "her yeni dogan gun yeni bir umut getirir" demi$tir.

    "the pain of war cannot exceed
    the woe of aftermath,
    the drums will shake the castle wall,
    the ringwraiths ride in black,
    ride on."

    pelennor sava$indan sonra kaybedilenler akla gelebilir, kral theoden, ranger halbarad ve diger komutanlar... her ne kadar witch king of angmar olmu$ olsa da, yine de kalan 8 adet ringwraith* hala ko$u$turmaktadir etrafta...

    "sing as you raise your bow,
    shoot straighter than before.
    no comfort has the fire at night
    that lights the face so cold."

    legolas! daha acik anlatilamaz herhalde...

    "oh dance in the dark of night,
    sing to the mornin' light.
    the magic runes are writ in gold
    to bring the balance back.
    bring it back.

    at last the sun is shining,
    the clouds of blue roll by,
    with flames from the dragon of darkness
    the sunlight blinds his eyes."

    "the magic runes are writ in gold", 'the one ring' icindeki altin yazilardan ba$ka ne olabilir? bunlarin yok edilmesi, yeniden dengeyi ve duzeni saglayacaktir. ve en sonunda frodo baggins'in elindeki yuzuk parmagini isiran gollum'la beraber the one ring ered gorgoroth (- ki ered gorgoroth yanardagi aslinda dark land mordor*'un dragon'u olarak gorulebilir) alevlerinde yok olur. sonunda sauron'un karanligi yeniden mordor goklerini kaplayan gune$ ile dagilir... the lidless eye* da guni$igi ile kor olur...

  • robert plant'in yaninda ve nefis mandolin tingirtilarinin arasinda salinan ses fairport convention'in sandy denny'si..
  • singles soundtrackinde the lovemongers tarafından yorumlanan şarkı.
  • grup bu şarkıyı konserlerde nadiren icra edermiş. eğer ki çalarlarsa sandy denny'nin söylediği kısımları, grubun bas gitaristi john paul jones söylermiş.
