1973, I was four years old, my dad used to play this album, and in particular this song to me and my sister. We didn't have a TV, and dad used to have a handful of records we used to listen to and dance to. 2012, this was played at my dad's funeral, he was only 62 when he died. I love you dad, choking up listening to this now but remembering simpler, happier times x
I'm 27 and this is one of my most favourite songs ever. It's so beautiful that I've already told my friends and loved ones that this must be played at my funeral. But I'd like to also reach the age of 67.
As I continue to learn more about harmony, composition and chordvoicings, Jimmy Page only keep climbing upward in my appreciation. The man is just brilliant!
One of their most beautiful, yet least played songs. This is Jimmy at his best, the guitar sounds so delicate yet haunting. One of my favorite songs from them.
Led Zeppelin 3 is really good, it has a balance there is some badass electric songs but the acoustic songs are so good. Friends, Tangerine, Bron Y Aur Stomp and Hats off to Roy Harper plus this one are just great pieces of music
The evil forces that now own radio station conglomerates don't want you to feel nice. They want you to feel disturbed and unsatisfied, so you'll buy the products their abysmal advertisers want to hawk to you.
I'm joining you in tears 😂 and utmost joy Whenever I hear these old tunes. 🎉 Forever loving the Zep for over 50 yrs. tmost joy WHENEVER I sdown & stone out to Zep.🎉❤
It is not only mine. Objectively speaking, the6 are at least much better musicians then any from the two bands you’ve mentioned. But as the music taste goes, you have yours, that is ok.
@@marisaj2346 That depends on what you define as "good" aka "better" - (more) pleasant? skilled? popular? successful? I find a few other bands more pleasing than Led Zeppelin - although Stairway is my all time favourite song - because (a) I hate Robert Plant's screaming - not his early _singing_ voice in general - and (b) sometimes I'm annoyed by the guitar tone (as a guitarist especially important to me). Drums & Bass/Piano/... are 99,999% of the time amazing, no criticism there. My subjective opinion.
This is one of Zeppelin’s most beautiful and moving tracks. if you get it, you get it… It’s near a perfect example of Pure Art. Their entire musical catalog is a canvas that will last forever. Long live Led Zeppelin. 🎨🎵
"And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers, but all that lives is born to die. And so I say to you that nothing really matters and all you do is stand and cry'" This was what I put in as my high school (senior) yearbook quote.
The third album is a beautiful departure and how gutsy it was of both the band and Atlantic Records to allow it to be recorded and released. I used to hear "That's The Way" on Detroit FM radio very late at night and it was always perfect.
I understand. Classic music that never dies and only gets better. I am now 68 and still listen to their music. Heck I saw Led Zeppelin one, in concert in Los Angeles,CALIF. When they first came to America The concert ticket was $3.75. What a mind blowing concert. Everyone with their bic lighters, for just one more song. Thanks Led Zeppelin, for such great music.
My favorite Zep album. Got a hand me down from my older sister....best ever. I remember moving the disc in the album cover. Read that thing while the whole album played. My media was better than today's.
I grew up as a gay kid in a small town, never really understanding why things had to be the way that they were. I wish I had known at the time that I was right, and they didn't have to be. This song grabs me by the throat every time I hear it. Definitely one of the greatest ever written by anyone.
I am not gay but I have known many gay people. I am also a very strong person of the Christian faith, and some people think that automatically makes me against gay people; why, I do not know. MY Bible says to love everyone one no matter what. Do not think there is something "wrong" with you, as God created everyone, even those dang gays:) What God wants is your heart, not your actions. If God has your heart, everything else falls into place.
I was born in 1965,bought my first Led Zeppelin ALBUM IN 1978,after dumping KISS and never looked back..ZEPPELIN WAS THE BEST BAND AND STILL IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!
This is one of the reasons Zep III has always been one of my top five Zep albums (Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy, Zep III, Zep IV, Presence). The acoustic songs are magical, beautifully arranged with spectacular instrumentation. That pedal steel guitar takes me to another plane of existence. Sumptuous.
I remember the boy next door, good person, but now on the other side of the country. I guess that’s the way it aught to be. Tears rolling down my cheeks as I listen to this. Led Zeppelin has a way with words that hit home.💕
This song is incredibly emotive, in a multitude if ways. Personally, it evokes a wistful kind of appreciation for the goodness and beauty that is present in this world. By the same token, I'm conjuring up some bittersweet memories that I've experienced throughout my life. It is remarkable how all of this is possible, just by listening to one particular song. Maybe this is sounding rather dramatic ....but that is how I see it. Have a wonderful day everyone.
Absolutely now one of ky favorites from Zeppelin. Completely underated album qnd song. The music is mesmerizing, and the lyrics are pure poetry. Brilliant song from one of the greatest bands. There will bever be another Led Zeppelin. The Rain Song is another underrated gem from Houses of the Holy.
*I don’t know if Page is using a slide or lap steel or what, but the little electric guitar flourishes he plays throughout this song may be the single greatest musical sounds any human being has ever made. In the context of the song, it is SOOO FUCKING GOOD. He even managed to reflect the kind of melancholic feeling of Plants lyrics in the small melodies and their movements. I will find myself whistling these tiny sections on a daily basis, having not heard this song for months, maybe yeaes. Blooming and swelling and whispering like the wind. It’s genuinely beautiful. If I was Page I would be proud of this tune.*
Perhaps their most underappreciated song. I remember when I first heard this song after I bought the album. I was amazed that they could go from something like Immigrant song to something so beautiful like this.
Heard this for the first time when I was 16. My brother was tasked to pick me up from prep school (Outward Bound School in Stowe Vermont circa 1976). I'd scored a bag of weed, what we thought was gold......been getting it there the that school year. He was skeptical, thought I'd got ripped off. Stilll , asked me to roll up a pin joint for the ride back to Ohio. Missed the exit for 80 or 90 and ended up in Schenectady N.Y.. I was to caught up in the buzz (exceptional and above what I was use too) and the music to even bother looking for the right exit. Vehicle, 1970 Buick Estate Wagon. Sound system .....battery powered cassette player. Much of this album is profoundly and in some ways a part of who I am...silly, perhaps but never the less etched into my my memory. Whenever I hear some of the songs from this album (Zeppelin III) this is what I'll remember.
I was 16 when a girl I had a massive crush on turned me down after I asked her out. it took weeks to summon up the courage to do it. after I got home I put this on the record player and cried a river. young love could be so painful.
Oh, man. Love, with a willing girl, and all of its trappings, was never better than some of the first times listening to things like this at 17. The adolescent heartbreak was real too. The two forged a lifelong bond to this music. 👊
I think back to my teenage years when I first heard this song. Times of happiness, anger, sadness and loss. Memories of events from nearly 20 years ago and they are fresh in my mind when I hear this song. That's the way it oughta be I suppose.
When i first bought 3 at 15 i struggled with it. Im now 64 & its become my favourite along with physical graf. Thanks guys for a lifetime of great music..😊
Haunting, sublime and beautiful, dazzling, shimmering and ominous. The number of views for this visual voyage across their psychedelic spaced out tripped out album cover seems to be missing some zeros.
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you I can't play with you no more I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me My friend the boy next door I can't believe what people saying You're gonna let your hair hang down I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long You're in the darker side of town And when I'm out I see you walking Why don't your eyes see me Could it be you've found another game to play, What did mama say to me That's the way, Oh, that's the way it ought to be, Mama say that's the way it ought to stay, yeah, yeah oh oh And yesterday I saw you standing by the river, And weren't those tears that filled your eyes, And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying, Had they got you hypnotized? And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers, But all that lives is born to die And so I say to you that nothing really matters, And all you do is stand and cry I don't know what to say about it, When all you ears have turned away, But now's the time to look and look again at what you see, Is that the way it ought to stay? That's the way That's the way it oughtta be Oh don't you know now Mama said, mama said, that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah, oh oh
The open G tuning and the addition of the steel and the mando just make this one such a classic. Some of Plant's most touching lyrics makes it so memorable and heart warming.❤
back in high school, I bought Led Zeppelin III while on a trip for marching band. this song always reminds me of the long bus ride home after the marching contest, late at night, surrounded by my half asleep friends.
Just discovered this song. I've always had respect for a band that I see to be a group of elite musicians only. All of them. Since I'm here and have found a few common traits with zeppelin and my favorite band of all time, I've got to ask, have any of you folks who have an ear for the good stuff ever listen to The Mars Volta? I strongly urge all of you to look into those guys. They too have a world class musician on every instrument, and didn't compromise. Also, much of their music being extraordinarily beautiful
I’m happy being a new young fan…. Its fun discovering all these new songs and hearing them for the first time…. It’s like a drug for me I always seem to be chasing that “high” that I first got listening to new songs hahaha
I thought I've listened to every great Led Zeppelin song until I watched a movie called "almost famous" and fell in love with this ..such beauty.. really reminds you that the 70s was all about appreciating life
I was in the 6th grade back in 1977 in Michigan, stumbled upon my older sister's record collection . . . Amboy Dukes, Led Zeppelin , etc. Amazed by the album covers of her collection, started placing the vinyl on the turntable, plugged in the oversized headphones into the hifi . . . sat in the wooden rocker in the living room, and listened to the Zeppelin albums over and over and over and over . . . . this song reminds me of that particular moment. 56 now, and Led Zeppelin has always been my favorite band over all these years, my "goto".
Led Zeppelin brings out what I love about bands the most: that a band's style is more than just it's genre. If it's slow or fast paced you still know it's Led Zeppelin
This is such a pretty wistful song. Zep 3 is badly underrated for me, I love it as much as the other first 6. And when people say it’s just an ‘acoustic’ album they are wrong. There may be some more acoustic songs on it but it is not unplugged! A full half of the album is rock and blues. Not forgetting one of their most galloping songs ever opening the album. There’s only 1 acoustic song on side 1! And, anyway, the acoustic songs like this are gorgeous.
Listened to this a lot in about 1990 when my daughter was about 2 , my friend would play it for her on his guitar too. Good times, summertime .....still love Zep.❤️

And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying, have they got you hypnotized?

🙏👪 breathtaking
I'm 67, this was the most significant song for me at 15. It still carries with me today.
Such a special song. I'm 56 now.when I was 14 it just touched me and still does as much as ever. It's musical greatness and perfection.
I’m but a lad of 60, but I can say just the same!
I’m 43 and I concur. My fav zepp tune.

Led Zeppelin’s acoustic songs are severely underrated, especially on this album.
Not to any fan they aren't.This was one of the best albums they did imo.

tmost joy WHENEVER I sdown & stone out to Zep.🎉❤

This was My Best Friends favorite Zeppelin song . 8 years died at 49. See ya on the other side brother
An emotional masterpiece. The ultimate in melancholy.
Brings tears to my eyes
It's that mandolin. What a incredible song
That's the way it ought to be...
This is one of the greatest songs ever written.
Big call.
Also the saddest song they've ever done IMO.
100%
John Paul Jones the GLUE of Led Zeppelin and can play any instrument even a Rubber Band and make it sound incredible

Very insightful to be at that age.
Haven't listened to this song along time. Still makes sense
Overpopulation and pollution are killing mother nature... that's what lyrics really says... 😢

So lucky you got to see them live. I first started listening around 14 in 1986.
I saw them in Philly
Once u r into Zeppelin, life flows happily
Very well said 👍
I'm 10 years behind you but it's crazy how some songs just stand the test of time. Zeppelin is famous for that
Colleen Croft bought me this LP when it was released. She has passed. My gratitude lingers. It has some of Rock's most beautiful ballads. I am 69.
I love Led Zeppelin 3
My favorite album of theirs
Me too
Massively underated
When it came out people didn't get it because of all the acoustic songs, but now it's considered a masterpiece!
Me too 😊
That song is just utterly peaceful, like the Lord.
Yesss that's the way oo that's the way ot ot to beee
Jimmy can play anything best guitarist in the whole f’n world
My favorite.
Love jimmy...great player and musician. But in the arts, there is always someone better...ALWAYS.
Don't forget Jon Paul Jones on mando...

The acoustic songs are magical, beautifully arranged with spectacular instrumentation. That pedal steel guitar takes me to another plane of existence. Sumptuous.
It’s between “Houses of The Holy” and “Led Zeppelin 3” that are my absolute favourite Zeppelin albums! ❤️🔥
one of my all time favorites, so much emotion in such a beautiful poem and rhythm.

This isn't just phenomenal music it's pure poetry.
There's just no ending of great songs by the mighty Zep. from "Achilles Last Stand" to "Your Time is Gonna Come." They just kick ass.

50 years ago this month III came out. Seems like yesterday. Finally saw them in April ‘77.
Lucky dog. 50 years ago I was 3 years old. Discover Zep in high school. Never tire or them. Their music is timeless, an ingredient of greatness.

Saw them in 72 and 73! I've never seen a better concert!!! Blew me away 😁
@@caliman5547 I thought the boys were off the road in '74 - taking a much needed break & working on double album PG.

By far...1 of the BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN, next to the RAIN SONG!!!
PAGE IS SUCH A GREAT WRITER/MUSICIAN, NO WAY CAN EVER TOUCH HIM...NEVER🤟
Songs in this album were never played in the radio, It brings a tear to my eye that beautiful songs like this one were never played.
Or 'Friends' by Elton John.
Absolutely now one of ky favorites from Zeppelin. Completely underated album qnd song. The music is mesmerizing, and the lyrics are pure poetry. Brilliant song from one of the greatest bands. There will bever be another Led Zeppelin. The Rain Song is another underrated gem from Houses of the Holy.
The ending of this song is phenomenal!!!!
So true. It's not just me that thinks so.
Gorgeous
It truly is. The playful bass makes it.
One of their emotionally beautiful tunes......brings tears to my eyes whenever i play this.
This song has a bluegrass feel to it. It is so good. Cheers!

I love the acoustics work on this album. I cut my teeth on guitar to a lot of these tunes.

The one and only Led Zeppelin. When this egg was hatched, the mold was thrown away. Mama said that's the way it's gonna be.
Damn it, it takes me back to memories, I grew up in the 90’s, we listened to classic rock as we got to ride in the 67 blacked out Nova
Been listening to Page for over 40 years. I know of no one else that can fill acoustic sounds like him. Full , rich... genius.

I can't play with you no more
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me

I can't believe what people saying
You're gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
You're in the darker side of town
And when I'm out I see you walking
Why don't your eyes see me
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me
That's the way,
Oh, that's the way it ought to be,
Mama say that's the way it ought to stay, yeah, yeah oh oh
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry
I don't know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way
That's the way it oughtta be
Oh don't you know now

Lyrics, guitar, vocals beyond fantastic epic Zeppelin
Robert Plant is singing like he owns it.
greatest rock band with the greatest front man of all time
I've never listened to this album from start to finish before, what an experience!
I was born in 74. Zep got me at a young age. I heararf Black Dog n I was hooked
Love this song, the melody, the message, so incredibly poignant...........
back in high school, I bought Led Zeppelin III while on a trip for marching band. this song always reminds me of the long bus ride home after the marching contest, late at night, surrounded by my half asleep friends.
Reminds me of largemouth bass I tried to keep alive at pond
Love. Love so much. I was born in 1977. And love this song so much!
Just discovered this song. I've always had respect for a band that I see to be a group of elite musicians only. All of them. Since I'm here and have found a few common traits with zeppelin and my favorite band of all time, I've got to ask, have any of you folks who have an ear for the good stuff ever listen to The Mars Volta? I strongly urge all of you to look into those guys. They too have a world class musician on every instrument, and didn't compromise. Also, much of their music being extraordinarily beautiful
I have a line from this song tattooed on my hand. My best friend who took his own life...his favorite zep song. Great therapy for my broken heart.
Always been one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes . I was in the 9th grade when it came out . Loved it for all these years .
I’m happy being a new young fan…. Its fun discovering all these new songs and hearing them for the first time…. It’s like a drug for me I always seem to be chasing that “high” that I first got listening to new songs hahaha
in the same boat
The guitar in the end is so beautiful
So BEAUTIFUL!!!
Another favorite of mine. These Led Zeppelin songs take me back. Those days are remembered very fondly.
Their most down to earth song. Brilliant.
I thought I've listened to every great Led Zeppelin song until I watched a movie called "almost famous" and fell in love with this ..such beauty.. really reminds you that the 70s was all about appreciating life
They are the definition of rock and roll my favorite song by led zeppelin greatest band in the world
I was in the 6th grade back in 1977 in Michigan, stumbled upon my older sister's record collection . . . Amboy Dukes, Led Zeppelin , etc. Amazed by the album covers of her collection, started placing the vinyl on the turntable, plugged in the oversized headphones into the hifi . . . sat in the wooden rocker in the living room, and listened to the Zeppelin albums over and over and over and over . . . . this song reminds me of that particular moment. 56 now, and Led Zeppelin has always been my favorite band over all these years, my "goto".
Whole lotta love fans don’t even know these ones exist.
Yes we do.
Led Zeppelin brings out what I love about bands the most: that a band's style is more than just it's genre. If it's slow or fast paced you still know it's Led Zeppelin
Probably my favorite Zep song....Just beautiful..Not played a lot on the radio for some reason...
Greatest band ever and ever will be case dismissed my favorite song by led zeppelin greatest band of all time
After tears and years I decided to try and learn this tune! It’s a fun song to play! So delicate
This is such a pretty wistful song. Zep 3 is badly underrated for me, I love it as much as the other first 6. And when people say it’s just an ‘acoustic’ album they are wrong. There may be some more acoustic songs on it but it is not unplugged! A full half of the album is rock and blues. Not forgetting one of their most galloping songs ever opening the album. There’s only 1 acoustic song on side 1! And, anyway, the acoustic songs like this are gorgeous.
This and traveling Riverside blues are my two most played Zep tunes
Such a beautiful acoustic arrangement and voicings! I love Led Zeppelin, Jimmy, Robert, John Paul and especially John Bonham!
Listened to this a lot in about 1990 when my daughter was about 2 , my friend would play it for her on his guitar too. Good times, summertime .....still love Zep.❤️
