Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin

The song that I will write about know is called “Heartbreaker” by Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is an older band that is most famous for their song called “Stairway to Heaven.” This song is more of a rhythm song, meaning that the rhythm of the music is what stands out the most.  It is an older song that I like very much. There is another type of “Heartbreaker” by Gun’s and Roses, but I favor this one more. Roughly Mid-song it has a very fast guitar solo, and takes up a lot of time in the song. This song is very easy to learn, because it is simple, as many famous songs are. One of the best things with this song is that it has a very easy beat. Anyone can follow this song if they hear it even a little bit. Like many songs from Led Zeppelin, it isn’t fast or iconic, but it is a song that is well known.
It is about a bad, emotionally abusive girl. Like many songs from that time it is a song that is meant to make the audience happy, but is actually about a thing that is sad. It is a song that does signify some things, but never actually says it. Anyone can listen to this song and there is really no need to hide it from a kid. Many people like to hide this kind of music from kids, but you don’t need to.
When I listen to this song I listen mainly to the way that the guitarist keeps the song interesting, for me, not to the lyrics. If someone asked me to tell them the lyrics I really couldn’t. That is the reason that I chose this song. It makes people notice the band, instead of focusing on the vocalist. This song is one that I listen to when I am bored and need to do something. It is also a great song because it can get other bad songs, which are stuck in your head, out. The song is so simple that it gets stuck in your head which is good, if you like listening to it.

Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town?
It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down.
Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago,
But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows.
Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.
People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;
Go away, Heartbreaker.
Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
Heart!
