Over The Hills and Far away~Jimmy Page and Robert Plant originally constructed the song in 1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales where they stayed after completing a grueling North American concert tour. Page plays a six-string acoustic guitar introduction and repeats the theme with a 12-string acoustic guitar in unison. In an interview published in Guitar World magazines November 1993 issue, Page commented on the construction of the song: GW: There’s an acoustic guitar running throughout the song. Did you play a main acoustic and then overdub an electric? Page: No, we played it through entirely as you know it, but I was playing electric. GW: So you simply edited out of the beginning? Page: Yeah, that’s right. “Presumably”. It sounds that way. It sounds like the acoustic is going straight through. Plants vocals enter on the next repetition. He tenderly offers himself to the lady whos got the love [he] need[s]. The acoustic guitars build in a crescendo toward the abrupt infusion of Pages electric guitars along with drummer John Bonhams and bass guitarist John Paul Jones rhythm accompaniment.
