Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy #2 The Rain Song (backward lyrics in red)

2 months ago

This one includes a great example of how Plant messed slightly with similar words and accent to create something interesting in reverse. The lyric "I cursed the gloom that set upon her, 'pon us, 'pon her" backwards is at 2:08 "The Lord, the Law, the Lord, for this I mourn preserve cloth" What's really interesting in the backwards version is how John Bonham smacks the drums during the 'pon us part, but not the other parts, to create door knocking sounds when you hear "the law" backwards
