In The Light

This is a very uplifting song. Some of you might not know it, especially if you haven't spent much time around me. I guess it's one of the greatest but slightly more obscure Zeppelin songs around.

Led Zeppelin never performed this song in concert, but I had the pleasure of seeing it done live on four different occasions -
Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes on June 28, 2000 in Pittsburgh
Robert Plant - May 25, May 27, and June 3, 2001 in Boston, Philadelphia, and Toronto, respectively.

Anyway, if you don't know the song or can't think of what it sounds like, seek it out as soon as possible. It's a great song, and it will make you feel good, which is really what great music is all about.

In The Light
(Jones/Page/Plant)
And if you feel that you can't go on -
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong.
In the light you will find the road.
You will find the road

Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the cold?
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul.
I just wanna show what I'd give you it is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me Oh, whoa-oh, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would share your load.
Let me share your load.
Ooh, let me share, share your load

And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road

Though the winds of change may blow around you, that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, but you are never alone

I would share your load. I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me
In the light
Everybody needs the light.
In the light, in the light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light
