I haven't mentioned yet but one of my favorite bands of all time is Led Zeppelin for multiple reasons but that is a story for another day.

Today specifically I wanted to write about the Battle of Evermore.

Battle of Evermore is one of my favorite Led Zep songs.
First time I heard Evermore was when I first watched It Might Get Loud and there was this scene where ZoSo played  the mandolin next to his house. He played it for approximately 45 seconds that didn't seem like 45 second at all; it felt like as I dug down deeper into the songs concience, the time stopped. I felt like I wanted to play this song in my head for eternity.

As a 'narrow-minded teenager' I was amazed that a rocker, a legend so passionately and willingly played such a simple folk song. But wasn't that simple. It had something that other (folk) songs didn't have. It made me have the feel of never-ending addiction.

The lyrics, majestical and with a story, with a DEEP story combined with interesting combination of simple chords Am, G, C, G7, D etc. And the magic of the song - undescribable. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. It's addictive.

The reason that I am writing about this song is because at the moment I'm in a state of confusion that actually made my passion to play the guitar dissapear. I was very scared because I love playing the guitar and I love singing because it's not only my hobby, it's my healing strength, my muse, my euphoria. And without that passion, I felt emptiness.

After a tireful Tuesday I returned home from school and took my guitar. Somehow, I remembered about this song (which I hadn't listened to for a very, very long time, I believe in summer/autumn of 2012? that's a lot for a song that you adore, rather crave) and decided to play it. Googled the lyrics, the chords and started to play and sing it.

and then that miraculous moment happened - the passion, joy for music returned.  I finally continued to playfully experiment and feel the music that I was playing. The power has returned because of this song.

And I think it's amazing how such a minimalistic, simple song can affect a person in so many ways, even unlocking the chambers of his/her passion that has been locked for a while now.

That moment as well I realized that I wanted to create such music. The music that inspires people, makes them addicted to it. Makes them happy, passionated, and ready to go. I want to be the Shaman of Music, of  Energy, of Passion.
