And now how can we bring it to this instrument? The piano, which I think has been stigmatized. OK, the piano will look at me sideways and she'll go, 'How can we put this in our language, and honour it?', because their version is always, you know, the definitive. Well I try, again, when I do a cover, I try and approach it from. I think it's great that Zeppelin is getting played a lot, I think they've inspired so much music.and people go back to those records, because they are a bench-mark, no different than The Beatles.
Just the most beautiful cover of one of those.
I: And Tori, they've been often copied and covered, and no-one so *beautifully*, in my opinion anyway, as you did with that, ah, song Thank You that was on a little EP of yours. about the sensuality of the Goddess, that's what their music was about. and when you understand that, you understand what their power was. (both laugh) I mean, Robert understands the energy of the feminine. Because he was the bridge, I felt, from classical music to contemporary playing. And I said, 'I'm gonna bring this to the piano'. And as a piano player, I studied him, and I studied him, and I studied him. And all I could do was go over and over and over, um, to Jimmy's playing and his phrasing.
But I was *obsessed* with The White Album, Sergeant Pepper and Zeppelin. Whole Lotta Love is an aphrodisiac, and it makes you want to put on your kitten-heel boots. When I first met my husband, that song took on a new significance. My favorite has to be Whole Lotta Love, though. I think Robert wrote it for his partner, and I remember thinking, I wish I could write something like that. Tears have run thrust in the days gone by Plant wrote the song as a tribute to his then-wife Maureen.
According to various Led Zeppelin biographies, this is also the song that made Jimmy Page realize that Plant could now handle writing the majority of the lyrics for the band's songs. "Thank You" signaled a deeper involvement in songwriting by singer Robert Plant, being the first Led Zeppelin song that he wrote all the lyrics for. Tori does it OK, but this song and these words caught my thoughts on love, long before my first engulfing experience set the foundation of feelings beneath it. Knowing Led Zep didn't write many of their own songs, I was surprised to see this was their first.
