Immigrant song Lyrics - Led Zeppelin

The song is about how LZ were conquering audience in the US and, at the same time, were setting peace as a hippie ideal. It is indicated especially in the second verse, the correct variant of which is ‘Don’t you feel it’s so green in whispered tales of yore, Of how we calmed the tides of war, we are your overlords’ where ‘so green in whispered tales of yore’ is the same ‘land of the ice and snow’ where they are supposedly to come from, like Nordics did a long time ago.

I love LZ, but I also like rap too. I agree common pop has no soul in it, but some songs that are popular have soul in them just as much maybe even more then Led Zeppelin. So don't be a jerk and be all "LOL IM BETTER BECAUSE I LIKE OLD MOOSIK! (Spelt wrong on purpose)" to people who like rap. Just leave them be and you'll make many more friends and maybe even get them to like rock.

I have been a Floyd fan for decades and have always loved Led Zep too. I started my baby boy on both and he now knows the lyrics to immigrant song at the age of 3. He loves that song and asks me to blast it when it comes on. There are few bands that can stand the test of time and are truly enjoyed for many generations. ROCK ON !!

I have been reading through reviews and comments,and surprised at the negativity towards rap, pop and other forms of music. At 35 years, I am a fan of Heavy metal, rock, and various forms of music including Jazz, R n' B, Rap, Alternate, Blues, pop. In my musical collection you would find Tinie Tempa, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears,Beethoven, Status Quo, Bullet for my Valentine, Sinew, Example, 2 Pac, Gyptian, Disturbed, Led Z,Paramore to name a few. What I am saying is this "One Man's meat is another Man's poison". Music to me is all about the mood, lyrics and a lot about the organisation of the instruments and production.

today was the frist time I understood the lyrics too this song, yaa. when I fist it in the 90s I didnt even try too add words but I always try too lisent carefully too what the song was.too bad I cheeted and googled it ,haha. in my top 5 pick,s

"It's revolting how seemingly anyone and everyone lists their age as some unsolicited validation for liking music (usually) older than themselves. Got some news for all you who practice this godforsaken act, EVERYONE likes Led Zeppelin. Age hasn't a thing to do with it. Rock on (\m/)*_*(\m/)"

THANK YOU. you're not special for being 15 and liking ledzep. I used to describe myself as a woman with "the taste of a 14 year old boy or a 40 year old man" because guess what? THOSE ARE THE TWO MAIN DEMOGRAPHICS WHO OBNOXIOUSLY PROCLAIM THEIR LOVE FOR ZEPPELIN.

I mean, I started listening to zeppelin at 14 (nearly a decade ago lol...) and I still love singing along to the AAAAH-AAHs when this song comes on the radio, but I also like singing along to Carly Rae Jepsen when I'm listening to top40 in my car. Liking LedZep when all your peers are listening to Jay-Z doesn't make you ~unique~ and bragging about it just makes you sound like a dick. You know what makes you sound like you're 15? Only listening to one genre of music (whether that's "classic" rock, rap, pop, whatever). You know what's actually interesting? Having a widespread, eclectic taste in music and listening to music from all different genres.

"i'm in my second trimester and i just LOVE Led Zeppelin"

It's revolting how seemingly anyone and everyone lists their age as some unsolicited validation for liking music (usually) older than themselves. Got some news for all you who practice this godforsaken act, EVERYONE likes Led Zeppelin. Age hasn't a thing to do with it. Rock on (\m/)*_*(\m/)

Led Zeppelin were influenced by a variety of different musical styles, blues, jazz, ragge, rock n'roll etc. If they would have stringently decided that they were only goint to listen to rock music in the Beatles, Stones, Who genre when they were starting out in '67 we probably would not even know who they were today. Pretty much all og those great artists and bands that have made an impatc have in common great enthusiasm and an open mind to all the different things happing in music at any given time period. Joe Strummer always said "no input, no output", he was deffinately on to something with that.

Along with many of you I am 15 and love rock blah blah.. i really do love it, but when you say people make fun of you? thats awful! and they try to convert you to that rap/pop whatever suff? thats just rude. As for this song, its pretty awesome. It just gets me in the mood XD If anyone has seen the new movie The Girls With The Dragon Tattoo- there is a pretty good Immigrant Song remix at the start which made me feel right at home :) I hear it everywhere, it is one of Zeppelins more famous and well known songs, and I can see why :P

Well, I'm a 19 years old guy from Chile in south-america, I love Led Zeppelin, Queen and many bands like those, I also listen to Electro dance/dubstep, screamo, punk rock, reggae, trash metal, celtic metal, alternative rock, and many other music styles, I'd like to say that music is in my opinion the way we express ourselves, I play several instruments, piano and guitar among others, and the way I see it, there's no way you can become a real musician if you don't know about all kinds of music, there's nothing like "rock is better than pop" of course you are able to like some music more than other, but you gotta keep an open mind when it comes to music, as long as you keep expressing yourself through it, you shouldn't think that your music is better than other's. Well that's my opinion guys, peace and respect.

listen kids, pay no mind to those fools at school listening to nothing but RnB and plastic pop made by computers! One day, they will eat their words when they are older and wiser and have left school and have stopped conforming. Led Zep - real flesh and blood, music and soul. Played by real musicians. Play it again and again and again.

@CrazyPerson
Go and try to learn something about rap before you post bullshit. I grown up on Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Queen, and many many more, and still i have a lot of respect to rap music, just go and serch for something more difficult then lil wayne (try google Uncommon Valor - A Vietnam Story).

Yep I agree with all you guys who have commented below, I'm 15, I love old music like Led Zeppelin, Beatles, The Who, ect. And I'm always getting asked by my friends why "on earth" do I like that sort of music and I always say the bloody same to them! But I'm a girl so they ask me even more so, you know, just because it's not what a stereotypical girl would listen to. And to be honest I couldn't care less, it's my music, at least I don't like freakin' Lady GaGa or bloody Justin Bieber! Led Zeppelin live on!
RAP=Rubbish Attempt at Poetry
POP=Pathetic Outrageous Posers

Stop listening to crappy rap/pop 'music' today. Compare the lyrics of immigrant song with any of today's music. It is more better! We need to linger the legacy of beatles, who, stones, LZ, GNR, Hendrix, clash etc.

If Immigrant Song were to be released today, it would be a hit all over again. Much of today's music lacks soul. This is quintessential four man rock. Page, Plant, Bonham, Jones is all that's needed to make people move and FEEL the music.
