GUITAR GENIUS In Action! Pt 3 #shorts #guitar #classicrock #ledzeppelin
“Over the Hills and Far Away” is the third track from English rock band Led Zeppelin’s 1973 album Houses of the Holy. In the US, it was released as a single, with “Dancing Days” as the B-side.
Composition and recording
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote the song in 1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales where they stayed after completing a gruelling North American concert tour.[5] Initially it was titled “Many, Many Times”.[6]
Page plays a six-string acoustic guitar introduction and repeats the theme with a 12-string acoustic guitar in unison. This leads into section led by electric guitar with the whole of the band. Following the final verse, the rhythm section fades out, gradually replaced by the echo returns from Page’s electric guitar and a few chords played by Jones on clavinet.[7]
Releases and performances
In the US, the song was released as the first single from Houses of the Holy and reached number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The group often performed the song in concert, beginning before its album debut.[8]
Archive footage of the song being performed live in Seattle in 1977 and at Knebworth in 1979 was used for an officially distributed video of the song, used to promote the 1990 Led Zeppelin Remasters release.[8] The video accompanied a CD single which was released following the successful “Travelling Riverside Blues” release.[9]
Reception
Cash Box said the song “is a bit deceiving” in that “what opens as an acoustic song soon turns into an amazingly powerful Led Zeppelin classic complete with rock melody.”[10]
In a contemporary review for Houses of the Holy, Gordon Fletcher of Rolling Stone criticized “Over the Hills and Far Away”, calling the track dull, as well as writing the track is “cut from the same mold as “Stairway to Heaven”, but becomes dull without that song’s torrid guitar solo”.[11]
The song has received greater acclaim in more recent years. Rolling Stone ranked “Over the Hills and Far Away” at No. 16 in its list of “The 40 Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs of All Time” in 2012.[12] Andrew Unterberger of Spin, in 2014, ranked “Over the Hills and Far Away” as Led Zeppelin’s best song, writing that it “best demonstrates just about everything the band does well: the unforgettable and impossible-to-pin-down opening riff, the life-affirming transition from acoustic to electric, the constant switches in tone and dynamic, the piercing solo with double-tracked climax, the impeccable interplay of guitar, bass, and drum, the inimitable Plant shrieking, the gorgeous coda, even the super-oblique title”.[13] Critic Bill Wyman, writing for Vulture.com in 2015, ranked it as Led Zeppelin’s sixth best song.

LEGENDS……
On a high school senior pictures they let us put a quote I see anything and me and my sister went to different high school. She was all girls Catholic school and I was at Catholic Memorial all boys school. This is Boston so I’m older by three years so for my quote, I put from over the hills and far away “many dreams come true, some have silver linings I live from my dreams and a pocket full of goals” three years later my sister is the same quote. There’s a lot of quotes in that song too that they could’ve been really cool to use. I gave her idea for other ones she said no I’m using when you.used I adore my little sister. I remember when my parents brought them back from the hospital when she was born me and my brother watching Saturday morning cartoons speed buggy to be exact they brought her in. She had eyelashes on her forehead almost a full head of hair, I’m in my mouth in my arms and my father saying that your little sister I was like yeah I know four years old I said she’s beautiful. My father said you have a sworn duty to protect her and I was like yeah and he said you’ll understand. Oh did I learn to the point I had to tell her stop breaking these guys hearts is a teenager. Every fight I got into was with some lovesick idiot. BNN beat the shit out of her husband and put his hands on her. I don’t think he would did that because me and my brothers and my father we just straighten that out really fast but I didn’t like the way he was yelling at her and he didn’t know I was hearing it, I was at the screen door about to walk in. I came in and grabbed by the throat. I said MFKR I will kill you. He’s all right, though he probably did something to piss him off
WISH THE LADD HAD A CHANCE TO TOUR AND DO FINAL BOW
Im 73, AND I KNOW THERE WILL NEVER BE A TIME LLIKE WE ALL HAD ✌️☮️????
