| When the Levy Breaks By: Led Zepplin thought to be related to hurricain Katrina??????????? Posted: 10/5/2005 1:45:13 AM | If you are not familiar with "When the Levy Breaks" By: Led Zepplin you should take a moment to listen to the words.
It is a rumor that the song is related in some way to Hurricain Katrina.
It has been said that this song was a prediction of the storm and dissaster of hurricain Katrina.
I am not saying it is true but when i was told i took time to listen to the words and it would seem to have things in common.
I found it interesting and would like your opinions.
Again i do not totally believe this to be true, But it can be concidered. Please dont write how it is impossible, redicolouse and be quick to jump on the gun and fire off i am NOT saying this is true, But i am suggesting you listen to the words just to see the point in which this rumor started on.
And this is in no way attacking Led Zepplin.!!!!!! I am a huge fan and am in no way suggesting that they had any idea of the storm coming or ever intended or was relating this song to a future disaster as Katrina. | |

It's almost as unjustifiable as Clear Channel's list of songs we'd better not play after September 11, because they MIGHT offend someone... (including James Taylor's `Fire And Rain', I might add!) | |

"NEW ORLEANS IS SINKING" by The Tragically Hip www.thehip.com
Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete Under skies all smoky blue-green I can forksake the dixie dead shake So we dance the sidewalk clean My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
Colonel Tom What's wrong? What's Going On You can't tie yourself up for a deal He said "Hey North you're south shut you big mouth You gotta do what you feel is real." Ain't got no picture postcards ain't go no souvenirs My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about those years
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire Picking out the highlights of the scenery Saw a little cloud looked a little like me
I had My hand in the river My feet back up on the banks Looked up to the Lord above and said "hey man thanks" Some time I feel so good I gotta scream She says Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean She said, she said I swear to God she said::.
My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim | |

And here I stand I Find myself alone again The miles I've walked the loss of hope and loss of friends Yet I keep on running running running and I won't look back the waters rise you never know just were they're at the waters turn yea yea the hardships we endure yea yea you aint the only son or forgotten daughter we all drown in blackend waters the sun has set the endless stream where nothing lasts forever damned toady tomorrow and all the past Yet I keep on running running running and I won't look back the waters rise you never know just were they're at the waters turn yea yea the hardships we endure yea yea you aint the only son or forgotten daughter we all drown in blackend waters the waters turn yea yea the hardships we endure yea yea you aint the only son or forgotten daughter we all drowned
It could be a kick-ass video if someone could do it...

He sang them in almost a whisper during "Come Together", and he sang "shoot me" several times in an unreleased Beatles song from January 1969, known as "Watching Rainbows". I don't think he had any idea he would be shot to death in 1980. Coincidence.
I don't think "When The Levy Breaks" is related to Katrina. | |

Posted: 6/4/2007 9:10:13 PM | | The song been in my head off and on for years, "When the Leevie Breaks", and I know who its orginally from, but its about a Flood in Mississippi in 1927. Still, I saw the you tube skit about New Orleans about when the "Leeive Breaks". I wonder how Jimmi page makes those weried sounds in the background of the song, or is it Robert Plant playing the harmonica. Still, I would be surprised with Jimmi page craftyness that did a little song rearrangment of it to make it sound orginal. | |

Gee John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant taping into the psychic network in 1971. I think they predicted many green backs flowing into their bank accounts first......maybe they all thought they were Nostrodamus when they were dropping acid but predicting a disaster on another continent decades later? Did you notice them at any benefit concerts? Thanks for the laugh!!! lol | |
