What do you think is Over The Hills And Far Away?

[LedZep1969]

Is it Kashmir, Evermore, Where The Spirirts Fly, Where people sit around and sing songs til the night turns into day... or something else?

Maybe it's where my darlin walks awhile with me. Maybe it's the open road many times I've gazed along. Maybe it's just a word that only leaves us guessing bout a thing we really ought to know!

Hi all,

I think it's about Robert's personal journey at that time.

I think it just means where we can all sit back, relax, and be happy. It varies from person to person.

[yahyoubetcha]

I think I kinda like Evster's answer.

I've always thought it was a cooler full of ice cold beer, a dime of high quality chronic, good pizza and some fine honeys to share it with. What else is worth travelling that far for?

Hey Ev,

You're quite the poet!

Would make damn fine lyrics too!

I always thought it was either another reference to LOTR or that kids nursery rhyme.

It's a woman you hurts you and doesn't love but you light up some acapulco gold and forget about and relize it doesn't matter and you see the open road. Although I think it does matter because something like that is not as easy to get rid of by doing that.

Here's what the British thought was over the hills and faraway. Written during the Napoleonic Wars. This is only the last three verses. The rest was about kicking French and Spanish ass for Queen Anne.

Over the Hills and Far Away

The 'prentice Tom he may refuse,

To wipe his angry master's shoes,

For then he's free to sing and play,

Over the hills and far away.

Chorus

Come on then boys, and you shall see,

We every one shall captains be!

To whore and rant as well as they,

When over the hills and far away.

Chorus

We then shall lead more happy lives,

By getting rid of brats and wives,

That scold on both the night and day,

When over the hills and far away.

Chorus

Everyone has an interpretation of this beautiful song, but the best and only interpretation that matters is when you listen to it and let the song take "you" over the hills and far away.

I think it is about the adage: the grass is always greener on the other side.

It's also were I go when the wife starts up.

[marolyn]

norway...

[mustochilli]

But the wind won't blow, we really shouldn't go. Somethings holding them back . What is it?

[x-lolarose-x]

Anybody else just think it's the Teletubbies?

[marolyn]

Anybody else just think it's the Teletubbies?

i just knew those little f@#ckers were involved...

first it's that damn purple one trying to turn my kids into homosexuals, and now this...

[leddy]

I think the title now means a full scale Zeppelin tour...Over the Hills and Far Away .

Always thought the solo bit in the song was a bit strange, almost not fit in, don't get me wrong I enjoy the song and I guess its just one of Pagey's quirky moments, one of many that makes him the individual Musician he is.

[Katuschka]

That depends on where you are, I think.
