"WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE" LED ZEPPELIN (1969)

I generally gravitate to the music first before the lyrics. But as a writer, I still marvel at well-spun verses and choruses. This month, I’m joining the music Twitter community in #31DaySongLyricChallenge

Day 25

That magical blend of blues and hard rock, as if the two genres are slowly making love. That’s what I love most about Led Zeppelin. Plant’s presence is powerful in every song in their extensive catalog – from the ballads to the bangers. I also tend to lean toward the tracks where Page was ripping mind-blowing guitar riffs while Bonzo pounded away on the drums like lightning. But “What Is And What Should Never Be” roped me in with Jonesy’s melodic bass line, paired with such magnificent words.

“And if I say to you tomorrow, ‘Take my hand, child come with me. It's to a castle I will take you. Where what's to be, they say will be.’”
