Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Gallows pole (page 1/1) ------ performed by Led Zeppelin Gallows Pole | Reviewer: Sam | 6/30/09 I love this track. It would definitely be one of my favourites from vol.III. It's really appealing that its an adaptation from a traditional song. The lyrics have a real archaic charm in how they're constructed. And it's a very soothing tune! This song is one of the best of Led Zeppelin | Reviewer: Jeffro Jenkins | 5/8/08 I think this song is great. It tells a story of a man about to get hanged, so to try to be let free, he gives the hangman money and even his sister. But in the end, he still gets hanged. Is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. gallows pole | Reviewer: i1000 | 1/25/08 i love this song not only for the lyrics but we must remember that it is a traditional song and the original writers must have put much into it. please consider the following. ive been a horse rider and the traditional writers would have considered the beat of riding when they wrote the song, after all everybody seems to be riding many a mile. now consider the beat of a horse as it changes gate or speed as we do from walking to running as a horse make the same, so listen to the friend at the same beat of a horse walking, very slow. then the change, the brother came more urgently at a horses next gate which is a trott, the sister came even more urgently and she came even more quickly at a canter an evev faster speed . to get this feeling play the song and just sit on your lounge and just rock your hips at the beat changes in the music and you will understand what riding means and hopefully the traditional song will have greater meaning than just the lyrics. i also ask some of you just perhaphs you have been to one of their concert and now have a hearing loss problem, yeh Great, but mistake! | Reviewer: steve | 1/2/08 Awesome song, led zep III is my favorite...but the last section says "I laugh and pull so hard and see you swingin from the gallows pole" not the sister :) Hold it a little while | Reviewer: NCS | 11/9/07 This is the best Zep song in the entire catalogue. Some come close: Traveling Riverside Blues, Bring it on Home, The Rover, Going to California, but this song is my fave! Add Your New Review About The Song
