Thank You Lyrics


Thank You Song Chart
  • Robert Plant dedicated this to his wife, Maureen. It was the first Zeppelin song that Plant wrote all the lyrics for - something he did at the urging of Jimmy Page.
  • Jimmy Page sang background on this. You can hear him sing with Plant during the line, "Little drops of rain" until the part where Plant goes "My, my, my." (thanks, Lucy - Claremont, United States)
  • Page played an acoustic guitar solo on this, something he rarely did.
  • This became a showcase for John Paul Jones' keyboard work during live shows.
  • This ends with a church organ that fades to silence and comes back about 10 seconds later. This creates a problem for radio stations, who must decide between accepting the "dead air" or cutting it off. Some stations run edited versions, with the silence eliminated.
  • In 2001, Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and Was Scantlin from Puddle Of Mudd performed this at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
  • Some radio stations play this together with "The Lemon Song" because there's no pause between them on the album. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
  • Tori Amos covered this song in her piano and singing style. It is on the extended "Crucify" single along with her versions of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Angie." Led Zeppelin was a big influence for her. (thanks, sara - pittsburgh, PA)
  • Jimmy Page and Robert Plant used a mellower version of this as either an opening number or encore for most of their shows from 1995 through 1998. (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)
  • The lyrics, "If the sun refuse to shine" and "When mountains crumble to the sea" came from a Jimi Hendrix song called "If 6 Was 9."
  • When Led Zeppelin played this live, John Paul Jones would improvise an extended organ intro. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

    Kissin' Frogs Lyrics


    I'm too young to think about forever
    I'm just thinkin' 'bout this Friday night
    I love not knowin' where we're going
    And dancin' with the boy I kinda like

    I want to make all my mistakes
    While I'm young enough to make
    Them once or twice
    Or maybe three times

    'Cause I ain't looking for my
    Prince Charming on a horse,
    No once upon a time ain't
    Where I'm at
    Yeah I don't need a Mr, tryin'
    To fit that perfect slipper
    On my foot there's always time for that

    So I'm gonna spend all summer long
    Sittin' on this river log,
    'Cause right now there ain't nothing
    Wrong with having fun and
    Kissin' Frogs

    Right now the only thing that matters
    Is the radio and cherry lip gloss on
    I'm happy without happy ever after
    Yeah, a little makin' out don't hurt
    No one

    I wanna have a little fun
    Someday I'm gonna find the one that's right
    But not tonight

    'Cause I ain't looking for my
    Prince Charming on a horse,
    No once upon a time ain't
    Where I'm at
    Yeah I don't need a Mr, tryin'
    To fit that perfect slipper
    On my foot there's always time for that

    So I'm gonna spend all summer long

    Yeah, kissin' frogs

    I want to make all my mistakes
    While I'm young enough to make

    Kissin' Frogs Song Chart
  • The origins of this track lie in a conversation RaeLynn had with her mother. "I get a lot of my song inspirations from talking to her," she told Billboard magazine. "I was talking about not having a boyfriend that day - my boyfriend and I had broken up a couple of months before. I said, 'Mom, I don't understand why no boys like me. I'm blonde, I think I'm funny, and I can sing a country song. What more do they need?' She said, 'Honey, you don't need a boyfriend. You're just having fun kissing frogs.' I thought 'I've got to write a song called that.'"
  • The song alludes to the fairy tale The Frog Prince, in which a princess reluctantly befriends a frog. He is magically transformed into a handsome prince after the princess kisses him. Keane's 2006 track "The Frog Prince" alludes to the same story.

    Whole Lotta Love Song Chart
  • This was Led Zeppelin's first US single, and their only US Top 10 hit. Some of their most popular songs, like "Stairway To Heaven," were not released as singles.
  • Atlantic Records pressed copies of the single to release in England, but Peter Grant, their manager, wouldn't let them. He felt releasing singles in England would hurt album sales, and the band thought that one song was not a good representation of any group. In the US, it was acceptable because more people bought singles.
  • Blues great Willie Dixon sued the band, claiming they stole this from his song "You Need Love." The band reached an agreement with Dixon, who used the settlement money to set up a program providing instruments for schools.
  • The freeform section was the result of Page and engineer Eddie Kramer "twiddling every knob known to man."
  • This might be the first use of "backward echo." Page put the echo of Plant's lines before he says them, creating an interesting sound.
  • Robert Plant did the vocal in one take.
  • Led Zeppelin used this as the basis for a medley they performed in their later shows. They had lots of songs by then, so they used the medley to play snippets of their popular songs they did not want to play all the way through. They incorporated various Blues songs in these medleys as well, notably "Boogie Chillen" by John Lee Hooker, which was often followed by what they called "Boogie Woogie, by Unknown," and "Let's Have A Party" by Wanda Jackson. They would put this in when Robert Plant would yell, "Way Down INSIDE." (thanks, Thomas - Toronto, Canada)
  • This was used as the theme song to the BBC music show Top of the Pops. The band never appeared on the program, as they had no interest in lip-synching and weren't a good fit for the TOTP audience.
  • Some parts of the song as well as some lyrics were borrowed form a song called "You Need Loving" by the Small Faces. Small Faces was a '60 band that Zeppelin modeled themselves after. (thanks, Andy - Cleveland, OH)
  • The remaining members of Led Zeppelin played this at their Live Aid reunion in 1985. Along with Tony Thompson, Phil Collins sat in on drums. Collins was the biggest presence at Live Aid. He played a set in London, flew to Philadelphia, played another set, then stayed on when Zeppelin took the stage. Jimmy Page was not happy - he thought Collins butchered this.
  • On some live versions, Jimmy Page played the theremin, a bizarre electronic instrument he liked to experiment with consisting of a black box and antennae. The sound is altered by moving one's hand closer to or farther from the antennae and was used to create the fuzz that alternates back and forth through the speakers. It can be heard to great effect on their Royal Albert Hall footage. Page decided to try theremin after hearing the group Spirit use one. (thanks, Collin - Midland, TX)
  • Page, Plant, and John Paul Jones played this at the Atlantic Records 40th anniversary concert in 1988 with Jason Bonham sitting in on drums for his late father. Jason would join the band again in 2007 at a benefit concert for the Ahmet Ertegun education fund, where they played this as the first encore.
  • In 1997, this became the only single Led Zeppelin released in the UK, although there were several pressings made of "Trampled Underfoot" that were all shelved before being released, and are, today, viewed as highly collectable. (thanks, Jon - Wayne, PA)
  • Robert Plant played this on the Strange Sensations tour of the UK in 2005. (thanks, iain - Edinburgh, Scotland)
  • Jimmy Page played the loose blues riff for the intro on a Sunburst 1958 Les Paul Standard through a 100W Marshall "Plexi" head amp with distortion from the EL34 output valves.
  • Jack Johnson performed a very laid-back version of this song when he headlined the first night of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2008.
  • Alexis Korner hit #13 UK with his cover of this song in 1970 with his studio group CCS. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)
  • This song was performed by Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics during the hand over to the host of the 2012 games, London. Prior to the performance there was some concern about the track's somewhat family unfriendly lyrical content, but Lewis tactfully changed the words from "every inch of my love" to "every bit of my love."
    They appeared alongside English soccer star David Beckham as symbols of British entertainment, both old and new. The performance took place in a magnificent, elaborate setting: Beijing's "Bird's Nest" Olympic Stadium. Lewis and Page appeared out of what had been a London double-decker bus, later transformed into a garden of green hedges. (thanks, Arthur - North East, Poland)
  • John Paul Jones told Uncut magazine January 2009 that Page began to come into his own as a producer around the time of this song. Said Jones: "The backwards echo stuff. A lot of the microphone techniques were just inspired. Using distance-miking… and small amplifiers. Everybody thinks we go in the studio with huge walls of amplifiers, but he doesn't. He uses a really small amplifier and he just mikes it up really well, so that it fits into a sonic picture."
  • On May 5, 2009, this became the first Led Zeppelin song performed on American Idol when Adam Lambert sang it during Rock Week, with Slash as the guest mentor. The judges loved Lambert's version and he advanced to the next round.
  • In 2010, Mary J. Blige covered "Whole Lotta Love" and "Stairway To Heaven," which were released as downloads and appeared on the UK version of her Stronger With Each Tear album. Musicians contributing to these tracks include Steve Vai , Orianthi, blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Randy Jackson of American Idol fame, who played bass. "Whole Lotta Love" was produced by RedOne and Ron Fair, who is Chairman of Geffen Records. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • The song's guitar riff was voted the greatest of all time by listeners of BBC Radio 2 in a 2014 poll. "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses came second in the listing and "Back In Black" by AC/DC third.
  • Guitar World noted Page's use of the wah-wah pedal during his famous solo, securing its place at #17 on the magazine's 2015 list of greatest wah solos of all time.

  • This stripped-down ballad about heartbreak was posted on Rihanna's official website on January 24, 2015 and released on iTunes later the same day. It was the first song to be dropped by Rihanna's own music imprint, Westbury Road Entertainment, which is distributed by Roc Nation.
  • Rihanna sings here of partying all night while her lover awaits her return home.

    And I know you are home tonight
    Thinking how I can be so selfish
    But you call about a 1,000 times wondering where I've been
    But I can't just apologize
    I hope you understand


    Kanye West is her upset love interest. He croons in response:

    Woke up an optimist
    Sun was shining, I'm positive
    Then I heard you was talkin' trash
    Hold me back, I'm 'bout to spaz
  • Kanye West and Rihanna have teamed up sporadically over the years, scoring hits with "Run This Town" and "All of the Lights."
  • The pair are assisted by Paul McCartney who supplies a lilting acoustic guitar figure. The former Beatle previously teamed up with Kanye West when he played keys on his "Only One" track.
  • Kanye West and Paul McCartney wrote the song with rapper Ty Dolla $ign, frontman of the Dirty Projectors Dave Longstreth, Kirby Lauryen, Elon Rutberg, Noah Goldstein, and producers Dallas Austin and Mike Dean.
  • The primary instruments on this track are organ and acoustic guitar, providing a mix of acoustic and electric sounds.
  • The black-and-white, stripped-down video was directed by Inez & Vinoodh and shot during late December 2014 in New York City. The Dutch fashion photographer duo have worked with Lady Gaga on more than one occasion, most notably when they filmed her "Applause" visual.

    The clip features shots of the denim-clad Rihanna, West and McCartney performing against an all-white background. "Kanye came up with the idea of doing just some real street, denim, all-American-type look," Rihanna said. "Denim never goes out of style; it's classic, it's iconic, just like the f---ing Beatles."
  • Rihanna performed this song with Paul McCartney and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards in 2015.
  • The song is officially credited to Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney. When it entered the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, McCartney broke the record for the longest gap between Top 10 Hot 100 hits of any artist (credited as a lead). His previous entry in the chart's top tier was on February 8, 1986, when the title song to the comedy Spies Like Us peaked at #7 - 29 years, and 2 weeks previously.

    The record was previously held by Santana, who notched a 28 years, 7 months and 2 week gap between their "Black Magic Woman" and "Smooth" Top Ten singles.
  • Kanye West enlisted Wilson Phillips to provide backing vocals for the track. The group, which consists of sisters Carnie and Wendy Wilson with Chynna Phillips, rose to prominence in the early '90s charting with three Hot 100 #1 hits, "Hold On," "Release Me" and "You're In Love." "He said, 'When I think of authenticity and I think of angelic, I think of you,'" Carnie Wilson told Billboard magazine.

    After playing a preview of the song to Wilson Phillips, together with "Only One" and Madonna's "Illuminati," West instructed the trio to take the track home to work on their vocal harmonies. "We didn't know if we were singing on a section of the song - originally it was supposed to be just the bridge," Carnie said. "He gave us sole freedom to just do what we do. We just went in there and let loose."

    I Can't Quit You Baby Song Chart
  • Many musician types consider this one of Led Zeppelin's technically strongest performances, but Jimmy Page admits that it's far from perfect. He told Guitar Player magazine in 1977: "There are mistakes in it, but it doesn't make any difference. I'll always leave the mistakes in. I can't help it. The timing bits on the A and Bb parts are right, though it might sound wrong. The timing just sounds off. But there are some wrong notes. You've got to be reasonably honest about it."
  • This is based on a Blues song by Willie Dixon that he wrote for Otis Rush, who recorded it in 1956. Many of Led Zeppelin's songs were influenced by old blues or folk songs. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • The version on Coda is a soundcheck for a show at Royal Albert Hall on January 9, 1970. Coda is a collection of outtakes released after John Bonham died.
  • Some guitar parts are very similar to the guitar solo in "Heartbreaker." (thanks, Jack - Beijing, China)

    When eyes are red
    We can't talk for a while
    Without our sweet dumb things we say
    you don't want me anyway
    You don't want me anyway
    so what
    Why should i stay?

    So goodbye to you and your life
    Your new best friends
    your confidence
    And i'll be here when you get home

    Sitting half way
    Away from no where
    praying for lips to touch
    Holding myself
    For a second
    Just to catch you smile
    On this side

    So goodbye to you and your lies
    (Two months, so many weeks)
    Your new best friends
    Your confidence
    (turn my hours into days)
    And i'll be here when you get home

    And i'll be here when you get home

    It would be

  • Frontman Matthew Davies writes about a long distance relationship that he wants to continue, but ends when they realize it was too hard to keep alive.

    How Many More Times Lyrics


    How Many More Times Song Chart
  • This is based on some old blues songs that influenced the band. Some of the lyrics are from blues singer Albert King's song "The Hunter," and much of the song was derived from Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Some other Led Zeppelin reworkings of blues songs include "You Shook Me" and "The Lemon Song."
  • The writing credit on this song went to Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham - everyone in the band except Robert Plant, who didn't get a writing credit for any songs on the Led Zeppelin album, although he did help put this one together. The arrangement of old blues songs was something he'd done with his former band, Hobbstweedle. (thanks, Andy - Indiana, PA)
  • This was the last song on the first Led Zeppelin album. It was listed as 3:30 on the album, but the correct length is 8:28. The reason that the song was listed as only being a little over 3 minutes was to promote radio play. Jimmy Page knew that radio would never play a song over 8 minutes long, so he wrote the track time as shorter on the album to trick radio stations into playing it.
  • Led Zeppelin used this to close many of their early concerts. During the instrumental section, Plant would often thank the audience and showcase the other band members.
  • Robert Plant contributed the line, "I got another child on the way, that makes eleven." It referred to his unborn child, Carmen, who was born a month or two after Zeppelin recorded this album. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
  • This is one of three songs where Jimmy Page played his guitar with a violin bow. The others are "Dazed And Confused" and "In The Light." Jimmy's bowing can be heard in the section after his double-tracked guitar solo ("I was a young man, I couldn't resist...").
  • Talking about this song in the BBC book The Guitar Greats, Jimmy Page said: "We had numbers from the Yardbirds that we called free form, like 'Smokestack Lightnin',' where I'd come up with my own riffs and things, and obviously I wasn't going to throw all that away, as they hadn't been recorded, so I remodelled those riffs and used them again, so the bowing on 'How Many More Times' and 'Good Times, Bad Times' was an extension of what I'd been working on with the Yardbirds, although I'd never had that much chance to go to town with it, and to see how far one could stretch the bowing technique on record, and obviously for anyone who saw the band, it became quite a little showpiece in itself."
  • At the end of the song, the sound pans between the left and right channels.

    Here's to being human
    All the pain and suffering
    There's beauty in the bleeding
    At least you feel something

    The highs and lows of living

  • The second single from Human, this topped Billboard's Mainstream rock radio chart giving Three Days Grace its thirteenth #1 song on the survey. It broke the Canadian band's own record for the format of twelve chart-toppers.
  • Three Days Grace drummer Neil Sanderson said about the track: "Sonically, we wanted to create a 'machine-like' sound in parts of the song. We were inspired by the images from the opening scene of Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands… relentless machines turning and churning, never ceasing to operate."
  • Neil Sanderson explained the track's meaning: "Lyrically the song is about how sometimes you feel like you are in an endless routine and cannot escape," he said. "You begin to feel numb to the world around you, as you yearn to just feel anything, any emotion."

  • This is a Blues classic that had been recorded by Muddy Waters and a slew of rock musicians looking to add some Blues to their repertoire. The song was written by Willie Dixon and J.B. Lenoir. The very first version was recorded by Muddy Waters because Dixon was his bass player.
  • How did Muddy Waters feel about getting the Led Zeppelin treatment? The year after their version came out, he said: "I feel good, sure I like it. I love it. I wish someone would call my name fifty million times a day. The more you call, the more people gonna hear. That don't bother me."
  • Jeff Beck, who played with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page in The Yardbirds, released a version of this song a few months earlier on his album Truth. In a 1977 interview with Guitar Player magazine, Page explained: "Beck and I came from the same sort of roots. If you've got things you enjoy, then you want to do them – to the horrifying point where we'd done our first LP with 'You Shook Me', and then I heard he'd done 'You Shook Me.' I was terrified because I thought they'd be the same. But I hadn't even known he'd done it, and he hadn't known that we had."
  • Jimmy Page played on many sessions for other artists and was a prominent member of The Yardbirds, but when this album was released, his guitar work became legendary not just among musicians, but also among fans. His solo on this was a great example of his talents.
  • Zeppelin frequently played at their early live shows.
  • John Paul Jones played the solos on electric piano and Hammond organ. Both were double tracked.
  • This was the first Zeppelin song to use a call-and-response blues style.
  • Page used his "backward echo" technique on this towards the end with Plant's screaming vocals and the guitar. Page first used this production technique, which involved hearing the echo before the main sound instead of after it, on the 1967 Yardbirds single "Ten Little Indians." In an interview with Guitar Magazine in 1993 Page recalled how the backwards echo effect came together on this song: "I told the engineer, Glyn Johns, that I wanted to use backwards echo on the end. He said, 'Jimmy, it can't be done.' I said 'Yes, it can. I've already done it.' Then he began arguing, so I said, 'Look, I'm the producer. I'm going to tell you what to do, and just do it.' So he grudgingly did everything I told him to, and when we were finished he started refusing to push the fader up so I could hear the result. Finally, I had to scream, 'Push the bloody fader up!' And lo and behold, the effect worked perfectly."
  • In 2000, Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes released a version of this on Live At The Greek, recorded at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
  • Jimmy Page was a big fan of Bluesman Willie Dixon. Page not only covered this song from Dixon's repertoire, but also "I Can't Quit You Baby." Both songs are featured on Led Zeppelin's first album. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

    Bulletproof Picasso Lyrics


    Am I made of paper
    'Cause I tear so easily
    Am I made of vapor
    Because I disappear
    Do I have to have a reason
    For anything I feel
    Just be glad I'm real
    Glad I'm real
    Am I real

    Are you made of lead paint
    A Bulletproof Picasso
    All the virgin saints
    Put you here to care for me
    I don't need a reason
    For anything I feel
    Just be glad I say what I mean
    And mean what I say to you

    We don't need a reason
    For anything we feel
    We don't need a reason
    Picasso's at the wheel
    So roll this top down, hell with this town
    Leave our bags behind
    We don't need a reason
    'Cause I got you, and you got me tonight
    ('Cause I got you, and you got me tonight)

    Did you ever see the waves break
    Into a million pieces
    Or stay awake
    With someone who was dying
    You don't need to tell me
    Anything at all
    I'm just glad you're here
    Glad you're real
    Are you real

    Am I made of timber
    'Cause I'm on fire
    Will you remember
    Tonight for very long
    You don't need to sell me
    On anything at all
    Just say what you mean
    And mean what you say to me

    We don't need a reason
    For anything we feel
    We don't need a reason
    Picasso's at the wheel
    So roll this top down, hell with this town
    Leave our bags behind
    We don't need a reason
    'Cause I got you, and you got me tonight

    Amber waves of grain
    Fly by highway lanes
    Waited for this change
    Seems like my entire life
    If only the good die young
    We'll outlast everyone
    For some of the things we've done
    And we've just begun

    (Oh)

    We don't need a reason
    For anything we feel
    We don't need a reason
    Picasso's at the wheel
    So roll this top down, hell with this town
    Leave our bags behind
    We don't need a reason
    'Cause I got you, and you got me tonight

    Woah (You got me tonight)
    Woah (You got me tonight)
    Woah (Oh you got me tonight)
    Woah

  • The title phrase finds Train likening themselves to Pablo Picasso. The Spanish artist had a long and successful career and Train have kept going for a couple of decades. Asked by Zoiks! Online where the name of the album came from, Pat Monahan replied: "It's actually the title of a song on the album. It's also, without knowing at the time, a way to describe Train - having dodged bullets all these years and still existing as artists."
  • The video was directed by Scantron Films and Mel Soria, the same team behind Train's "Angel in Blue Jeans" clip. Walking Dead's Emily Kinney stars as a waitress who is physically assaulted by a customer. Modern Family's Reid Ewing also features in the clip.

    Dazed And Confused Lyrics


    Dazed And Confused Song Chart
  • This was inspired by an acoustic song called "I'm Confused" that Jimmy Page heard folk singer Jake Holmes perform. When Page was a member of The Yardbirds, they played on the same bill with Holmes at the Village Theatre in New York City. Holmes' version was about an acid trip, but contained many of the same elements that made their way into the Led Zeppelin version: walking bass line, paranoid lyrics and an overall spooky sound. The Yardbirds played the song in concert, but never recorded it for an album, although they did play it for a BBC taping in March 1968.

    Led Zeppelin's version was not credited to Jake Holmes, as Page felt that he changed enough of the melody and added enough new lyrics to escape a plagiarism lawsuit. While Holmes took no action at the time, he did later contact Page in regards to the matter. Holmes finally filed a lawsuit in 2010, alleging copyright infringement and naming the Led Zep guitarist as a co-defendant. It was the favorable judgment for organist Matthew Fisher in the "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" case that convinced Holmes to sue, as precedent was set that songwriting credits could be challenged in British courts many years after the fact. Unfortunately for Holmes, his case was dismissed on January 17, 2012.
  • In Shiloh Noone's book Seekers Guide To The Rhythm Of Yesteryear, he helps explain the origin of this song: "Jake Holmes, a one time member of Tim Rose & The Thorns, had written entire albums for Frank Sinatra and The Four Seasons, but his two most prolific albums released in 1967 are now recognized as groundbreaking projects. Jake's debut The Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes which featured Jake on acoustic guitar, Teddy Irwin on electric guitar and Rick Randle on bass carried the original 'Dazed And Confused' which Jimmy Page borrowed for the Led Zeppelin debut. This was confirmed when the Yardbirds witnessed Jake playing it live at The Village Gate in 1967. The same happened with the opening chords of Spirit's 'Taurus' which Jimmy used for 'Stairway To Heaven.' Jake's artistic actualization follow up, A Letter To Katherine December is translucently a monumental landscape that captures a surreal bluesy world somewhere between Arthur Lee and David McWilliams."
  • Page performed this with The Yardbirds with different lyrics as "I'm Confused." It appears on the album Live Yardbirds.
  • At live shows, Page played this using a violin bow on his guitar. He claimed that he got the idea from a session violinist he worked with who suggested it (the violinist was the father of actor David McCallum from The Man From U.N.C.L.E.). Eddie Phillips of the UK band The Creation guitarist pioneered the use of the violin bow on guitar strings, predating Page doing it in The Yardbirds by two years. You can hear it on the Creation song "Makin' Time." The secret to this technique: Put rosin on the bow, and the rosin sticks to the string and makes it vibrate. (thanks, George - Perth, Australia)
  • This was a showcase song at most of Led Zeppelin's concerts. They sometimes improvised on it for up to 40 minutes.
  • The guitar solo following the bow section is Page's solo from the Yardbirds' "Think About It."
  • This was the first of three songs where Page used the bow. The others were "In The Light" and "How Many More Times." The first identifiable use of the cello bow on a Jimmy Page guitar was on a Yardbirds B-side called "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor." Speaking in the subject, Page said, "When I use violin bow on guitar, it's not just a gimmick as people think, It's because some great sounds come out. You can employ legitimate bowing techniques and gain new scope and depth."
  • One of the first songs Led Zeppelin recorded, "Dazed And Confused" was released as a single in the US in January 1969, two weeks before the album was issued.

    Homegrown Lyrics


    I got a piece of land out in the country side
    Lay back and smell the sun warm up the Georgia pine
    Been so good to me, takin' it easy

    Why would I ever leave?
    'Cause I know

    I got some good friends that live down the street
    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
    Live in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need, and nothin' that I don't

    Homegrown
    Homegrown

    We got a fire goin', down by the riverside
    Sip whiskey out the bottle, livin' like we'll never die
    C'mon and stay a while if you don't believe me

    Why would I ever leave?
    'Cause I know

    I got some good friends that live down the street
    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
    Live in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need, and nothin' that I don't

    Homegrown
    Homegrown
    Homegrown
    Homegrown

    I got some good friends that live down the street
    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me
    Here in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need (homegrown) and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Everything I need (homegrown) and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)

    It's the way that you care for the things you think you want
    It's the way that you care for the things you think you want
    It's the way that you care for the things you think you want

    I've got everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Everything I need, nothin' that I don't (homegrown)
    Ooh everything I need, and nothin' that I don't (homegrown)

  • This jubilant song finds Zac Brown singing of his Georgia hometown:

    Got a good lookin' woman with her arms around me
    Here in a small town where it feels like home
    I've got everything I need
    And nothing that I don't


    Brown is satisfied with the life he has in the small town that is his home. With his "good lookin' woman" and "good friends that live down the street," he is happy with his lot and has no ambition to leave.
  • The song was co-written and co-produced by Zac Brown with Jay Joyce, who also helmed Little Big Town's Pain Killer and Eric Church's The Outsiders albums.
  • This was released as the lead single from Jekyll + Hyde, the fourth major-label studio album by Zac Brown Band. The record is named after Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which follows a London lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The Scottish author based his story on William Brodie, a respected businessman and Edinburgh town councillor by day and a leader of a gang of robbers by night.
  • The album cover shows Brown's face with two different-colored eyes. "We wanted the Jekyll + Hyde thing to be subtle," Brown told Country Countdown USA's Lon Helton. "We thought about doing the warped face on one side and regular face on the other, but it was too on-the-nose. So we got one of the best rock photographers of all time, Danny Clinch , to shoot the video, and one of his guys came up with the two colored eyes. I've had a lot of compliments on it."
