The Battle of Evermore is basically a Celtic influenced folk song with Tolkien references throughout. Robert Plant was in and out of northern Wales all his life and the Celt definitely influenced him in this song. Often overlooked but not by me. I absolutely love this track and God bless Sandy Denny.

Alot of the lyrics and musical styles of Led Zeppelin was inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’. ‘The Battle of Evermore’ is a prime example. If fact they mention the Ringwraiths, the servants of Sauron who is the main villain of the story, in this song. They mention Gollum and the Evil One (Sauron) in ‘Ramble On’ as another example of many LotR references. These songs were written in the early 70’s when Tolkien’s books were first started to gain popularity with the general public.

"The Battle of Evermore" is an acoustic guitar and mandolin track from Led Zeppelin's fourth album. Folk singer Sandy Denny duets with Robert Plant. In live performances bassist John Paul Jones, who plays the mandolin on this track, sang along with Plant. It is commonly believed to be based on events in The Return of the King. In the most common interpretation, the Prince of Peace, who "embraced the gloom" and "walked the night alone", refers to Frodo, who left the Fellowship of the Ring and left for Mordor with only his servant and friend Samwise Gamgee for company. "The Queen of Light" who "took her bow" is taken to refer to Galadriel, a queen of the Elves, signifying that the Third Age is ending and that the Age of Men will begin soon.

It’s an opportunity to realize that Heart has TWO incredible singers and it’s absolutely perfect. They even nail the the end with the echoing delay on the voices and overlapping harmonies. It’s shows why they were chosen to perform Led Zeppelin songs in front of the band.

Welsh songstress Sandy Denny joins Robert Plant on "The Battle of Evermore". She was the only other singer to ever appear on a Led Zeppelin album. The band even assigned a special rune symbol for her on the liner notes to the album. If you've got a thing for angelic voices, then lend your ears to her voice. Her work with Fairport Convention is quite masterful. For a taste, check out "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?", "Farewell, Farewell", "The Ballad Of Easy Rider", and "She Moves Through The Fair" among others.

Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny (6 January 1947 - 21 April 1978) was an English singer-songwriter who was lead singer of the British folk rock band Fairport Convention. She has been described as "the pre-eminent British folk rock singer". Plant felt he needed another voice to tell the story, and for the recording of the song, singer Sandy Denny was invited to duet with Plant. Denny was a former member of British folk rock group Fairport Convention, with whom Led Zeppelin had shared a bill in 1970 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. Plant played the role of the narrator and Denny represented the town crier. Page elaborated that "[The song] sounded like an old English instrumental first off. Then it became a vocal and Robert did his bit. Finally we figured we'd bring Sandy by and do a question-and-answer-type thing." In 1971, Denny duetted with Robert Plant on "The Battle of Evermore", which was included on Led Zeppelin's 1971 album (Led Zeppelin IV); she was the only guest vocalist ever to appear on a Led Zeppelin album.

Everybody in the '70s of college age was obsessed with J.R.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings books. There were no movies out then, just the books, and everybody was reading or had read them. A few Zeppelin songs reference elements of those books. When I was in college at the University of Florida in the late '70s, there was even a restaurant called "Bilbo & Gandalf's" that was quite popular with us college kids.

The female voice is Sandy Denny, (1947/1978) from Fairport Convention fame. She died in 1978 from the aftermath of falling down the stairs in her home.

I’m a huge Led Zeppelin fan and songs like this one are an example of why for me they are untouchable. They have so many different styles of songs and every style they do is brilliant. They are four absolute genius’s and I think their music will always be loved and liked I’m a hundred years or more. By the way you both are brilliant at this 👏👏👌👌

Great song choice. Lex has insight and a natural empathy with the music, to suspend disbelief, be in the song, dream and follow the singer's story. Love Sandy Denny's voice - can you tell her parts? Celtic sounds. Awesome goodness for the soul. All the music of the 60s and 70s was made in the long after shadow of WW2, and looking to a brighter image of the future.

I simply love this song, particularly the choice of instruments. The use of dissonant notes, the amorphous quality to beat groupings all give such a unique sound and makes you admire their versatility and willingness to make music, interesting music, not just solid rock.

beautiful duet between Plant & Sandy Denny. Love it, don't care about anyone ragging on the hobbit lyrics. Just a very beautiful song, really nice overall sound and instrumentation. "pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath" made my feeble pre-teen mind realize that everything isn't hunky dory right after the war ends. Good stuff, maybe I was just shallow, but worked for me. Also just fyi, Zep didn't let anyone use their music for commercial stuff for probably 25ish (?) years after the band folded up.

I agree 100% , it’s was written after reading Tolkien’s books. Others songs have references in them too, like golem the evil crept up and sneaked away with her. And the misty mountains .

Zeppelin definitely has a soft side, soft underbelly, to their music. I've always enjoyed it once I understood which way they were going, blues, folk, or country.

Brad, in the movie the song remains the same, Robert Plant is a sword wielding knight on horseback who is also a falconer. Just sayin’ Lex isn’t that far off.

This is sublime. The female singer is the magnificent Sandy Denny who left us far too soon. Only time anyone else ever played with them.
