Released January 12, 1969
Led Zeppelin signed a $200,00 contract before they ever recorded a song. Their first album is one of their best and I challenge you to go through the song lost and see if the songs don't speak to you. To me this is the ultimate breakup album. I was drunk and hurting and it really appealed to me.
Led Zeppelin 1 was recorded in October 1968 with just a few overdubs but the rest was left as it was recorded, Live.
In the days of my youth I was told what it means to be a
man.
An' now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I
can.
No matter how I try, I find my way to the same old jam.
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share.
Well my woman left home for a brown eyed man, but I still don't seem to care.
Sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be.
It only took a coupl'a days 'til she was rid of me.
She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'til the end.
But when I whispered in her ear I lost another friend, oh.
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share.
Well my woman left home for a brown eyed man, but I still don't seem to care.
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share.
Well my woman left home for a brown eyed man, but I still don't seem to care.
