Thank You


Love is that beautiful of all things.  True love, built on mutual respect, trust, admiration and sacrifice can go on forever. It can withstand the tests of time that naturally occur.  This is the love that Led Zeppelin speak of in "Thank  You."
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
If mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

These lines are so powerful, they are used to open the song, and again to close it.    In this song, they stop in the midst of the pure power the second album projects to slow down the pace, turn down the volume and send across a simple message: I Love You.

The love he speaks of is simple, pure love. Pure devotion.  Simple, unconditional love.  How love can be; the ideal.  Love that is not complicated by financial or parenting or work issues.  It's not a false feeling, or taken for granted.  Love transcends the wrongs, the rough spots, and endures forever.
