搖滾史上最好的一首歌的歌詞是什麼？ Led Zeppelin的Going To California
“站在夢想之山的一座小山上，告訴自己這並不像看起來那麼難。”
年輕時的夢想永遠不會讓人覺得遙不可及，即使在缺乏經驗的情況下，最崇高的抱負似乎也是可以實現的。
只有在我們登上一座小山之後，回顧我們到達那裡的奮鬥歷程，並展望仍然在我們面前的山脈，我們才會意識到我們到底還需要走多遠。
Led Zeppelin的團員Robert Plant 1975 年告訴《滾石》雜誌「我在歌詞上投入了大量精力」，像‘Black Dog’這樣的作品就像「讓我們在浴室裡做吧」這類的歌，但它們的觀點是一樣的。在他們以古代北歐字母命名的第四張專輯中，Led Zeppelin 將‘Black Dog’的粗俗與Plant在不可避免的史詩民歌“Stairway to Heaven”中最具詩意的歌詞相匹配。而吉他手Jimmy Page則從“When the Levee Breaks”「當堤壩決堤時」的藍調啟示錄轉向曼陀林驅動的“Battle of Evermore”「永恆之戰」。Page後來承認「聽起來像是一首繞著五月節花柱跳舞的歌曲」。
Led Zeppelin是創於英格蘭的Hard-rock Band 重搖滾樂團 。1975 年Robert Plant 27 歲， Jimmy Page 31 歲， John Paul Jones 29 歲，如今已年近古稀，但在搖滾樂史上留下難忘的回憶。
Led Zeppelin 1971年推出的第四張專輯在Billboard專輯榜獲得第2名，其中單曲Black Dog’獲得15名，但是沒有推出單曲的“Stairway to Heaven”獲得RSO500#31的佳績，“Going To California ”更是是歌迷們必聽的一首不能錯過的歌。

沒有鼓，沒有貝斯，只有吉他，曼陀林和人聲，這是經典
John Paul Jones把這首歌變成了天堂。 他在 Led Zeppelin的工作應該得到更多的讚譽。 殺手樂團。 再也不會有像他們這樣的人了。
Going To California
by Led Zeppelin
Spent
my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my
wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to
California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a
girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her
hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em
tell you that they're all the same
Oh, the sea was red and the
sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The
mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
As the
children of the sun began to awake
Watch out
Seems
that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it
started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line,
if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path runs
straight and high
To find a queen without a king
They
say she plays guitar and cries and sings
La la la la
Ride a
white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's
never, never, never been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain
of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it
seems
