Ef fólk vill upplifa þjóðarstolt eins og að fá Justin þá er gaman að rifa upp þegar Zeppelin komu til landsins og sömdu þetta lag um Ísland. Those where the days, einhver að finna upp tíma vél :D https://youtube/watch?v=RlNhD0oS5pk Immigrant Song was written during Led Zeppelins tour of Iceland, Bath and Germany in the summer of 1970. The opening date of this tour took place in Reykjavík, Iceland, which inspired Plant to write the song. As he explained: We werent being pompous ... We did come from the land of the ice and snow. We were guests of the Icelandic Government on a cultural mission. We were invited to play a concert in Reykjavik and the day before we arrived all the civil servants went on strike and the gig was going to be cancelled. The university prepared a concert hall for us and it was phenomenal. The response from the kids was remarkable and we had a great time. Immigrant Song was about that trip and it was the opening track on the album that was intended to be incredibly different.[5] Just six days after Led Zeppelins appearance in Reykjavik, the band performed the song for the first time on stage during the Bath Festival. The songs lyrics are written from the perspective of Vikings rowing west from Scandinavia in search of new lands. The lyrics make explicit reference to Viking conquests and the Old Norse religion (Fight the horde, sing and cry, Valhalla, I am coming!). In a 1970 radio interview, Plant jokingly recalled: We went to Iceland, and it made you think of Vikings and big ships ... and John Bonhams stomach ... and bang, there it was - Immigrant Song!
