Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Aleksandar Average	#1 by Aleksandar Radošević at Dec 28, 2005 at 6:53 PM EST
	A good song, with a strong funky element to it. The title sounds really hip, but what does it mean exactly?

	As EmporerExkeil alluded, it has to do with the 1975 car accident in Rhodes, when Robert badly broke his leg and his wife Maureen suffered critical injuries. Not to play editor or anything, but Plant's wife was never near death, just critically injured and in the first day or so (until a plane was arranged to fly her back to England) things were sketchy with rural doctors in Greece. Once back in England, Maureen was already recovering, but the recovery would be very lengthy. The first stanza is meant to show us that the car accident, and his realization of being actually mortal was a crazy concept to grasp. The accident taught him of the fragility of life and the fact that many people around him weren't really his friends but just people seeking personal gain, especially during tours. The rest of the song illustrates his feelings of getting old and his realization that cocaine doesn't solve everything, as it might've in 1975 and apparently his best connection either was incarcerated or died ("I turned around to look for the snowman, to my surprise he'd melted away.") This, like "For Your Life" were abject tirades against drug abuse (specifically blow) in the prior years (1975 was a big snowy year for, at least, Plant). Plant had a lot of time to think and ponder, sitting in a wheelchair in California, away from his family and in tax exile. Much of this album was a realization on Plant's part that the previous tour was ridiculously out of control and it was time to grow up and embrace the precarious nature of life for its value and importance. I still firmly believe this period, late 1975, was an important realization and turning point for Plant, and I'd bet he didn't touch a drug after that point.

	elbazimo's right...silence can be very powerful when used correctly. i think this song is really great, and agree that is one of the best on Presence. i like the "na na" stuff, or "la la", or whatever it is. catchy :)

	I never really paid much attention to any of the lyrics on the album "Presence" as it was their weakest studio album. Although I still say it was a masterpiece guitar driven album. Page really worked hard on this one despite his drug addiction he was dealing with at the time. This song is sweet. It's got great rythm.

	Pretty good song. The lyrics are quite confusing to me. but meh...
