Led Zeppelin Musical Moments That Altered My Brain Chemistry
I saw this trend on tiktok and I wanted to make this list so here we are . . . Please add your own brain altering zeppelin moments
The moment of silence where you almost catch your breath before the guitar solo in ‘Good Times Bad Times’
The moment in dazed and confused when the guitars join and double the riff
The ‘going to San Francisco’ section of the TSRTS Dazed and Confused and the beginning of the bow section, specifically this figure at 9:35 on the live album track. I don’t know how to describe it besides (wheeEEEEEohwheEEEEE . . . weeEeEeE)
The lead up to ‘my gun’ part of ‘How Many More Times’ live on Danmarks Radio
The first lick of the ‘what is and what should never be’ guitar solo
The first Eb in the main solo of SIBLY over the Fm7 chord. It’s literally just the b7 on the 4 minor chord, which is so typical of blues, but Jimmy’s approach to it is so poignant and full of raw emotion and something that can’t be put into words
Not fully zeppelin, but SIBLY was the first song I ever played for a big audition and my teacher had been trying to get me to access my emotions more when I performed this and I was really awful at doing that; however, the performance, I finally managed to tap into myself more and after I finished, I was so relieved it had gone well and so overwhelmed by all the emotion I had brought up that I literally stood outside the adjudication room and sobbed. I consider this my life’s main character moment😖
There’s no specific moment in Stairway because to my, that song is about the journey form the way it starts to the way it ends, but something about it definitely altered my brain. The first time I heard Stairway to Heaven, I had to sit there for a few seconds after the song finished and process that entire musical journey I had just been on
The variation on the guitar part in the verse (ascending 8th note thing) Jimmy does during the last verse of stairway before the guitar solo in The Song Remains The Same (and most live versions)
Everything about the words ‘Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, telling myself it’s not as hard as it seems’
The first beat of “The Song Remains The Same” and the energy of the entire intro section
The first rolled chord of the rain song transports me to another universe, but the moment in this song that actually permanently altered my entire being is the ‘conversation’ between the cello and the bass, where the cello has that little ascending line and the bass responds with a descending line
The bass downbeats during the introductory keyboard solo during no quarter and that Amaj add9 chord with the drums kicking in during “No Quarter”
In ‘No Quarter’ on TSRTS, When Robert ends the phrase “they chose they path where no one goes” by sliding up from the 5 to the major 6 and it goes form the 1 minor chord to such a bright 4 major chord under Robert’s major 6 and its literally perfect (I rewind and watch this moment like 5 times every TSRTS rewatch)
The ornamentations in the vocals and the grandiose in the instrumentals when everyone transitions out of the bridge and back to the riff in Kashmir
The moment the bass enters the main riff in ‘Ten Years Gone’ and the INSTANT warmth
Again, I can’t just pick one part from Achilles—it’s a symphony and I can’t turn it into a moment, but if I had to, the way Robert ends the last ‘I know the way’ makes me MELT
They key change in ‘All My Love’ and the ‘sometimes/I get a little lonely’ section make me want to sob

As usual three songs for three stories/characters/themes below.
First song up is for Abigail Emmet, the mother of Mario, and just as much as a terrifying alien soul-and-meat-eating shapeshifter as he is. She's been around for a while, even hitching with the Van der Linde Gang as the third founding (adult) member, sticking with it until she and Molly got the hell out of there after witnessing the effect Hosea's death had on Dutch and Micah being a rat. Saddening that Abigail outlived Molly (given her alien origins), but she never once stopped thinking fondly about the O'Shea poet, even when raising Mario. This song absolutely details her longing for Molly, while also letting go for the sake of Mario.
"Lately, I've been waking up
In a dreamy state, calling your name
Stayed up too late just thinking of you
Now I'm knocking on every door
'Cause I heard you moved from twenty-two
Has it been that long?
I guess time just flew
I've got voices in my head and there's a deafening silence
I've got voices in my head and I can't lie
I've been holding on to pieces
Swimming in the deep end
Tryna find my way back to you 'cause I'm needing
A little bit of love
A little bit of love, I need a little love
Just like the air I'm breathing
These open wounds ain't healing
Tryna find my way back to you 'cause I'm needing
A little bit of love
A little bit of love, a little bit of love
A little bit of love
I tried to fly but I used my wings too soon
Now everything got me thinking of you
I tried a million times to cut you loose."
Next up, a song for Silva's Hope and maybe a bit of Old Dusk, the two main stories for Silva in Far Cry The Silver Chronicles. I think it just fits the religious themes found in the fics' and the game, but also twisting it to reveal the darker and lighter aspects that not only come off as seductive but reveal what's exactly underneath the surface of the Voice's Prophecy and the Collapse, and whether it's better to choose the safer path and obey the prophecy while risking loss of identity and restricted by extremely controlling expectations that are unrealistic or take the risk and step out of the status quo for the sake of having the freedom to choose and to defy a fate other's push onto themselves and their neighbors, all the while having to contend with the possibility of being lost in the unknown.
"Call me wild, drinkin' up the sunshine
Be my man and show me what it feels like
Denim sky, unbuttoned down the middle
Spillin' out little by little
Tiger on the prowl
East of Eden
Comin' for you now
Keep me from the cages under the control
Runnin' in the dark to find east of Eden
Keep me from the cages under the control
Runnin' in the dark to find east of Eden
To find east of Eden (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
To find east of Eden (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
To find east of Eden (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
To find east of Eden (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
If I wanted to stay
You don't mind, you're a true believer (True believer)
Take it up with the badlands
Creep on in like a concrete fever
If I wanted to stay
You don't mind, you're a true believer (True believer)
Take it up with the badlands
Creep on in like a concrete fever."
And finally something for the antagonists. Ranging from the charming yet arrogant Edward Carmine to the callous and controlling Zachariah from The UnTitledverse. From the hypocritical monster that is Father Adam Omar to the fatalistic pessimism that fuels Paul Yellowjack's miserable self-loathing in Far Cry The Silver Chronicles. From the Court King who wants to conquer his worlds back, to the Director of the Midnight Rise, Sir Enigma Malvolio, who brings despair wherever his expeditions take him throughout Life, Despair & Monsters. From the well-meaning extremist Xiang Ba'al to the Mad God of Carnage himself, Discord in the originals works that will diverge from Wings And Horns. There are many more of interest, but the list is as tall as the rest of my original characters. But one commonality can be found with these characters... a question that evades an answer... will they ever be satisfied after reaching their goals? Or... will they go further until they've crashed and burned?
ALSO! TW: There is brief mention of suicidal idealization in one verse with probably more mature themes hidden in the lyrics. Just putting it out there to be weary listening and reading.
"I was pulling out my hair
The day I got the deal
Chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy
That my life was just about to change?
One life pretending to be
The cat who got the cream
Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer"
People like to tell you what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe
My problem, it's my problem that I never am happy
It's my problem, it's my problem on how fast I will succeed
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
High achiever, don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I wanna pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Sad inside, in this life
Unsatisfied, praying
Sad inside, in this life
Unsatisfied, waiting
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Black, white (Are you satisfied, are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?)
Are you satisfied?
Black, white (Are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (Are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Are you satisfied?
Black, white."

I saw someone trying to make Gortash replicate cell phones. That’s cool, but forgotten realms already has sending spells for instant communication.
If I had his little artificer self at my disposal I would be demanding twelve ferrous magnets placed in two rows of six with opposing magnetism and then all wrapped in fine copper wire a thousand times or so. I will need two of these. And then six nickel-wound strings in varying diameters, plus access to tools to fabricate wood and metal. I’ll need at least 12 fret tangs inset a variable width 24.75 inch length of wood preferably maple.
And then fun fact speaker technology hasn’t changed since the 1920s or so when we kicked gramophones to the curb, so unless you’re using magic for your steel watchers I’ll assume you’re using the basic electrodynamic speaker specs for their voices, so this part oughtn’t be difficult at all, I’ll need another ferrous magnet and a bit more copper wire, plus your tightest-woven thinnest fabric, and a broad ring of either rubber or paper, all inset into a solid frame, and then I’ll need insulated wire to run from the pickups to the speakers.
Basically I’m saying I want an electric guitar. If I could bring any technology to a fantasy world, I would choose to bring music every time. Because it’s what I love most.
And yeah, in my silly little secret fic, my character does just that :)
