Zep's Stairway and Tolkien

[Sapphire_Flame]

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

That verse always reminds me of Frodo, after the quest. *sigh*

I agree that the song is not about LotR. But that's not to say that it couldn't have been influenced by it somewhat, even unintentionally. Be honest: how many people have written a poem, or drawn something, that when you looked at the finished product you find connections to things that you love, even if that's not what the piece is about? That may be some of the case with "Stairway".

"Battle of Evermore" is a great song about LotR, and the Battle of the Pelennor Field in particular. I know there's a site somewhere that analyzes the similarities, but the address escapes me at the moment. *headdesk* >.< Anyone else know it?
