The Battle of Evermore | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/26/08 The battle of evermore. This song has references from the lord of the rings as well as other ancient lore from the British isles. I have read that the song was borrowed from a 16th century book containing an account of a brutal battle in the British isles at that time. What everyone seems to miss is the fact that Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page are using these myths only as vessels of allegory to draw an analogy of a much deeper reality they have experienced. Much like the ancient sages of old.. If you really would like to know the meaning of this song, and you "listen very hard" maybe the truth will come to you at last... A little anal about correction, but... | Reviewer: Bhaskar | 8/30/08 "but you gotta remember robert plant is singing a duet in this song with a scots man who is the singer that hits all the high notes" Actually the duet is with an english woman named Alexandra Elene MacLean "Sandy" Denny. When I heard the song I assumed it was a man too! Weird. "the song is about the final battle in the second novel, the twin towers.." Sounds more like the battle of Pelenor Fields, since the song mentions the "darkest of them all", maybe the Witch King of Angmar. Maybe. Cheers! This could help | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/26/08 "The Battle of Evermore" was played live at Led Zeppelin concerts during the band's 1977 concert tour of the United States. For these live performances, Jones sang Denny's vocals with Plant and played acoustic guitar whilst Page played mandolin. Sometimes drummer John Bonham sang Denny's vocals instead of Jones. The song, along with "Misty Mountain Hop," "Ramble On," and "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp," feature references to the work of J.R.R. Tolkien." This is from wikipedias article based on this song.I love LZ either way and im a younger fan so im sure you all know better than i do anyway. when in doubt, bust the led out | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/12/08 great great song, but you gotta remember robert plant is singing a duet in this song with a scots man who is the singer that hits all the high notes. And thank paul jones for exposing mr paige to the mandolin mr paige to the mandolin guitar... all hail the scots! oh, and the fact that these guys can incorporate LOTR references into almost all of the songs and still rock out is amazing. Mr paige is a wizard! read hammer of the gods, of coarse the song is about the final battle in the second novel, the twin towers... when in doubt, bust the led out | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/12/08 great great song, but you gotta remember robert plant is singing a duet in this song with a scots man who is the singer that hits all the high notes. And bassically introduced mr paige to the mandolin guitar... all hail the scots! oh, and the fact that these guys can incorporate LOTR references into almost all of the songs and still rock out is amazing. Mr paige is a wizard! read hammer of the gods, of coarse the song is about the final battle in the second novel, the twin towers... More LZ lyric observations | Reviewer: ZepHead | 1/28/08 As is obvious,this band was fond of LOTR,s but has anyone noticed the Golden Compass,book "3" chapter #35,"over the hills and far away" coincidence? doubt it,seems like"fantasy fiction"is Their favorite as is mine,just wish my choice in reading was as good as their music writing P.S. for all of our sake keep an eye on that"supportpaul"character...I'm concerned about him. Listen | Reviewer: ferrum96@gmail.com | 1/23/08 Plant was an LOTR fan. You can look at the lyrics for Ramble On to see that. "In the darkest depths of Mordor I meet a girl so fair but Golum the evil one crept up and slipped away with her" The first thing about Battle of Everomre that I will state is that this song IS about LOTR. More specifically it is about Return of the King. Those of you who have reported this songs origins as relating to the Arthurian Legends are dead wrong. I can see how you could draw that from "angels of Avalon" however Avalon, in Tolkein myth, was a place in which Gandalf's kind, who represent angels, reside. Furthermore, The Arthurian legends do not contain a "dark lord" as is mentioned in the fourth line of the song. Instead their was evil in the form of Arthur's sister, Morgan La Faye. Lords are males, not females. She'd be more of a mistress. And of course we can't forget the word in this song which seals the deal: ringwraiths (which do not present themselves in any other piece of English literature, ever). There are, of course, several other chunks of evidence to support this, but rather than having me list them off, I think those of you who haven't read any of Tolkein's works should do so and formulate your own, less ignorant, opinions. In the mean time, try to actually enjoy the song. you can tell | Reviewer: TT Tucker | 1/10/08 You can tell that a lot of Plant's songs have a lord of the ring feel I think it's cool but more important than that is there songs are very cool no matter what there based on.
