BattleStar Galactica / Ten Years Gone

I have not had the motivation to post anything offlate thanks to being in the midst of a season1 to season4 (that's all the seasons) marathon viewing of BattleStar Galactica. It is an extremely intriguing and fascinating series and once I am done with all 4 seasons I plan to expound on the amazing mix of science fiction and philosophy that it deals with. This is my favourite kind of art, be it books, TV shows, movies. Anything that mixes science fiction and philosophy immediately attracts my attention and makes me have to adjust my pants!!

But for the time being, please enjoy me covering another Led Zeppelin masterpiece called 'Ten Years Gone'. I could not find a backing track so I took the guitarpro tabs for this song and muted out everything except the vocals, drums and bass. Everytime I find a Led Zepp gem I have to fight the urge to browbeat everyone I know into listening to it. 'Ten Years Gone' is no exception. Your life will be richer once you listen to this song! 

Remember:

Dewy eyes now sparkle, senses grown keen

Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen

Here's a nice trivia about the song:

"Ten Years Gone" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. Originally intended to be an instrumental piece, Jimmy Page used some 14 guitar tracks to overdub the harmony section. Robert Plant later added lyrics, which are dedicated to an old girlfriend who, ten years earlier, had made him choose either her or his music. Plant explained in an interview in 1975:

Let me tell you a little story behind the song '"Ten Years Gone" on our new album. I was working my ass off before joining Zeppelin. A lady I really dearly loved said, "Right. It's me or your fans." Not that I had fans, but I said, "I can't stop, I've got to keep going." She's quite content these days, I imagine. She's got a washing machine that works by itself and a little sports- car. We wouldn't have anything to say anymore. I could probably relate to her, but she couldn't relate to me. I'd be smiling too much. Ten years gone, I'm afraid. Anyway, there's a gamble for you.
