Regardless of the Scott Weiland shenanigans going on right now, there is no denying that Stone Temple Pilots released two ground breaking albums. Plush is from the excellent debut album Core. The drums and the feel of the song, is John Bonham reincarnated. Instead of going up the fret board chromatically, they go chromatically down the fret board. Yes, Stone Temple Pilots did a derivative work of Kashmir. Lana Teramae on Order Me Up Another Slice Of C…
The fourth and final verse is again about travel, but moreover about having the freedom to travel. Basically in this verse Plant is telling us that this land is like paradise or Shangri-la, if you like. Just change pilot to magus and you'll understand what I mean.
The "pilot of the storm who leaves no trace" is probably a reference to Jimmy Page's obsession with the occult. The third verse conjures interesting imagery. It's baking sun, the endless sand (Sahara desert, anyone), and the almost total lack of life in the region. The bridge section which goes "all I see turns to brown" is definitely a reference to the desert. Cultures that would have been so different than the western cultures that Zeppelin would have experienced. The second verse is about the people who lived in these regions. The first verse was inspired by a long, straight stretch of road that cut through the desert. The riff itself originated from a solo song by Jimmy Page called Swan Song.
The song was originally titled Driving to Kashmir and was basically about traveling through exotic lands. The orchestra playing the song's riff, the pummeling drums, and the grandiose lyrics definitely leave an impression on the listener which is not quickly forgotten. It is easily Led Zeppelin's greatest work. The song Kashmir closes side two of the double album Physical Graffiti. let me take you there! Desire to show All the way to Nirvana.Starting from a place of Nothing! Nothing: meaning no past, no future, only Now, traveling forever in a sea of brown, with no judgement. The song closes out by touching on all humans come down from Nirvana, but when he's down. he can/will leave the unenlightened behind. he is now able to transcend on the way, even though you stay. When I'm on the way, when I see the way, you-stay. prayer to be free, supported by the Father of the four winds and his open heart.
our self created psyche fears bind us in ego fabricated walls of prison. a prayer that the higher energy or Being will give him the strength and guidance to make the journey. A brief experience of Nirvana or Enlightenment from the space created by nothingness (vast desert).įather of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years. Heed the path that led me, Shangrila, will return again. turmoil, trials, tribulations, in life are guides/lessons to the Way (Toa, etc.) Pilot of the storm, leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream. the higher Self so easily distracted/lost by the same wasted land and ground that is burned by the sun. Next verse: he hears the message, but doesn't quite get it.Īll I see turns to brown (the color of all colors mixed into One), my eyes fill with sand. the few who are Enlightened, waiting for the day when All will Be Revealed (enlightened). worldly pressures, stars to fill my dreams. The song is about, when in a place or State of Nothing, one can more easily transcend, and find their true higher Self.
