Tuesday’s Tune: That’s The Way
“That’s the Way” was written in Wales. It was one of those days after a long walk and we were setting back to the cottage (Bron-Ye-Aur). We had a guitar with us. It was a tiring walk coming down a ravine and we stopped and sat down. I played the tune and Robert sang the first verse straight off. We had a tape recorder with us and we got the tune down” – Jimmy Page.
From the their album Led Zeppelin III, released in 1970, ‘That’s The Way’ is one of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs. Written during their time at Bron-Yr-Aur, a beautiful cottage in Wales, the song is gentle, melodic, and mellow enough for the band (minus John Bonham), to sit down whilst playing. The video below is from their live performace at Earls Court in 1975.
Enjoy!
