When the Levy Breaks By: Led Zepplin thought to be related to hurricain Katrina???????????

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.

True...this topic gets me thinking of "New Orleans Is Sinking" by the Tragically Hip...Gord Downie turned into a Nostradamous...at least for a few minutes.....

"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929 and famously re-worked by Led Zeppelin as the last song on their fourth album. The song is based on the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

Doesn't this ALWAYS happen whenever there's a natural disaster? Something always comes out of the woodwork saying `oh, we predicted this ages ago'...

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!)

Good song, too bad some people cant spell Levee correctly. I learned that song a long time ago on guitar, its actually really easy, the solo is a lot of fun. I thought of the song being related to the hurricane not long after the first levee broke, it was weird.

Yeah..that song naturally occured to me and anyone else who adores Led Zepplin as much as I do. Hurricane susceptible states need to get it together and strengthen there barries for those annual disasters. Man, wouldn't it be nice if someone these days could sing rock and roll like Robert Plante did? Mmmmmmmm...

Led Zeppelin was one of the great bands of rock and roll history, but I think they would laugh heartily at the suggestion that they are the new Nostradamus.

Let's not forget the prediction of The Tragically Hip!!

"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

Blackened Waters by Black Label Society reminds me of Katrina, also.

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...

John Lennon, while with The Beatles, sang the words "shoot me". 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.

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.

Well, that song has been around many years before Hurricane Katrina. But when I had heard in the news about the levees breaking that was the song that came to mind.

Sorry, but I have laughed hard through this thread. 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

Yeah, I went to fill a bucket with water the other day, but there was a hole in it. I guess whoever wrote 'there's a hole in my bucket dear liza, dear liza' was predicting what the day would be like for me yesterday.

Or then again maybe New Orleans is a city by the sea, built on a swamp, in hurricane central.
