Norwegian Wood written by Lennon/McCartney, published by Northern Songs. Kashmir written by Page/Plant/Bonham, published by Superhype/WEA.
Norwegian Wood:
I once had a girl,
Or should I say she once had me.
She showed me her room,
Isn't it good? Norwegian wood.
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug
Biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two,
And then she said 'It's time for bed'.
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,
I told her I didn't, and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke
I was alone, this bird has flown
So I lit a fire,
Isn't it good? Norwegian wood.
Kashmir:
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Hans Gruber on the Flute!! All seriousness this is OUTSTANDING!
😅😅
McClain....😂😂😂
That was seriously funny!
How is it that this is 11 years old and i just discovered it? Simply amazing
Thanks Thomas!!
2020 and I'm still listening to this version. It is amazing. And I keep recomending it.
Me too!!!
I can't believe that this video is already 13 years old. Watched this in my teenage years back when I had a band and dreamed of covering this. Now a dad, bedroom guitar player, miss the good ol days. Amazing cover.
Love this! Thank you Bruno.
2024 and I'm still here, as the first time ❤
Thank you Muriel!
I've been coming back since 2011 from time to time. This version of both these masterpieces is huntingly good!
Heyyyyyy thank you!!
I can't believe I have not ever seen or heard of this band until now....this was played 11 yrs ago. Always enjoyed Norwegian Wood. Kashmir is my favorite Zeppelin song. Never dreamed these 2 songs blended so well together....this is excellent!!!
Thank you Kathy!!
Kashmir is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs to sing. Go Nuts!!!!
Really? It's _hard_ to sing! Go Becky!
9 yrs later and this is still awesome!!!
there's never been a smoother transition between the songs of 2 different genre bands. Masterpiece 👌👌
Tusen takk fra en gammel Zeppelin som sitter allene midt i norsk skogen !😎🌲🌲🌲🌲🌳🖖
Værsågod! Takk for at du lyttet!
The drummer is KILLING IT. They are all Talented but the singer and Drummer... DEAR GOD aka Led Zeppelin !!!! are KILLERS!!!
Thank you Rob!!! 🙏
thank you!!!!!!@@aaronenglishmusic
Great! You blended The Beatles and Zeppelin perfectly, you found the perfect songs of which riffs really fit together !
I always felt that if Zeppelin would have a bit more of the Beatles melodic side and The Beatles more of the Zeppelin technique, you would have a totally perfect band! They are both perfect anyway!
Great vocals, such great technique and control, I wish I was that good! And the guys really smoke it instrumentally!
both songs convey much power, and the transition is seamless... epic ! 🙏✌️☀️
Thank you Christopher!
That transition was _so_ much fun to figure out: s a 12-bar phrase from the first song sliding right across the top of a 16-bar phrase from the 2nd song, & then - bam, here's Kashmir!
Almost 2022 and I am STILL listening to this.
2024 e ainda ouço essa faixa. Sensacional!
Obrigada, Nancy!
In the interest of listening to new music, I listened to this for the past few days. I grew up listening to the Beatles sing this, Frampton and Zeppelin. In my most honest opinion I love the passion in which it is both sung and played. The runs are amazing and the voice control mesmerizing! It has quickly become my favorite version and is now on my playlist. I have also shared it out so my friends can enjoy it as well.
Thank you Doris! So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you _so_ much for sharing it.
Very impressive, from a Beatles and Zeppelin fan for over 30 years.
I am blown away! FANTASTIC arrangement of these two classic songs; outstanding performance all around; vocals are AMAZING. And you all are so much fun to watch!
Love hearing this, Alyra - especially the last part about the _fun!_ Very much obliged.
2022 and still listening to this awesome track!
As a group, the musicality emits powerful interpretations of the classic songs. These arrangements are sure to be taken in live by an audience in both a cerebral and emotional way!
I don't know why I've never seen this one before. It's really jamming. I love a good drone. I'm talking about the sitar like sound in the background on Norwegian wood
Excellent version, and this band Rocks, and the vocalist outstanding.
Thanks Ian!!
The subtle and melodic layer of Kashmir perfectly creates a soothing calm to Beatles 'pop'er' sound
Only just discovered this. Great stuff!
3 yrs later I had to come back and reaffirm how I think this is one of the most impressive covers I've ever heard. I hope you guys have found the success you deserve. You have achieved greatness. That is rare.
I totally agree with Andy. In fact, I have formed a new band and I am using this as a benchmark for the excellence I expect us to shoot for. Outstanding work.
this the best of a Beatles song I have ever heard
Blew me away first time I heard this, and I still love it. Catch Aaron English on Stageit.
Thanks Marian!! :)
This is one of the most amazing musical endeavors I've ever heard.
Awesome again! Just discovered you guys.. the Aaron English band awesome music!!!
Like a fresh breath of wind in a hot sunny day !!!
Thank you Walter! And thanks for your kind message on "All Along the Watchtower". I hope to see you in Italy one of these days!
@@aaronenglishmusic As usual i read your message too late.
Are you gonna come to Italy in concert ?? That would be great !
I can't wait to see you guys live !!
Thank you for the beautiful concert last night in Staden - Belgium and for your patience when looking at my works.
Thanks for coming, Jef! Thanks, as well, for the tour of your (& your wife's) stunning artwork - & the work of art that you have made of your life!
Absolutely incredible! I have watched this video several times and never get tired of it. A consumate bunch of great musicians.
You never cease to please. Loved it and it was exactly what I needed to hear today.
_Wonderful_ to hear. Thank you Laura!!
Wow, just seeing this for the first time, MIND BLOWN!!!!
Awesome to hear - thank you Benjamin!!!
Powerful,and proof that Rock & Roll will never die.Soul moving,and it is good.
@rouelibre1 Very cool to see that your caught the B3 organ in this: we had to overdub it because we ran out of hands while tracking. Re: the drums, whew, glad to hear that we were able to honor Bonzo's classic groove. He had an absolutely unearthly sound, and there's no recreating it.
Wow! Talk about control and improvisation and working with dynamics - crescendo, diminuendo... man! Each one of these guys resonates, knows their stuff! All for one and one for all! The vocals, Aaron English is astounding. They reinvented this great song, each musician giving their all, their own soul-print on this song! The percussions, all! Paul McCartney should hear this! I hope to hear, experience... this group live some day! I wonder if they ever come to Minnesota. Sounds like a minor key signature (Dm?). What open tuning is the guitarist playing in? Anyone know? All in such a tiny cramped space yet they spread their wings, far and wide, open a universe! Thanks for sharing such talent!
I was going to write a comment, but mwj5368 said everything I felt to a tee! What a magnificent band!
I'd assume he's playing in drop d, However Kashmir is normaly in dadgad
Still one of, if not THE best covers I've ever heard. Absolutely amazing. And who knew that Alan Rickman played the flute?? Hanz Gruber...a rocker! Nice!!
I always wondered why some covers are better than the original......coz they worship and respect their idols so much that that they don't want to let them down. See them immersed is awesome, wow goose bumps moments
This is super cool! Really amazing performance to all of you! This is so heavy. You really nail the Robert Plant vocals! (:
Thank you Kalynn!!
Power and Clean....amazing cover. Ciao from Italy
Love! Especially loved the addition of flute! excellent vocals. You rock, boys!
This is legendary! WOw! I am blown away ….
Awesome! Thank you Javier!!!
what a brilliant bit of drumming....you've got the Bonham chops
Aaron English shows once again how impressive his voice and what a great musician he is. A true artist.
A very good comment. Compliments. And what about the rest of the band ??? They're all fantastic.
So amazing ❤
@@laraviggiani5775 thank you Lara!! ☺️
Excellent arrangement, I really love to hear new arrangements of great songs, interesting to see what good musicians can do especially with acoustic classics.
love this!
Thanks Frank!! 🙏
Alan Rickman is a beast on the flute!
Andrew Goulet,
He’s been practicing when not chasing Robin Hood 😜
a quanto pare siamo tutti qui per aver sentito o visto Virgin radio, anche casualmente, il sabato sera.. lode lode a Virgin radio, continuate così!
Love this song
Thanks Paul!!
Wow, this was amazing! Being both a huge Zeppelin and Beatles fan, I can safely say that you did justice to both songs!
Man playing flute looks like Alan Rickman. Performance is awesome.
***** really and what did he answer? By the way what is his name?
ჰაჰაჰაჰა მეც ეგ ვიფიქრე ზუსტად
Holy shit you're right. He looks like Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham! (Robin Hood film). It's uncanny. :O
LOL I was just about to comment on that, but you beat me to it...by about 4 years.
Queen Rait,
Just commented that on someone else’s post.
Now I feel like I’m a day-late-dollar-short troll 🥴
You to just saw and heard what I just saw and heard, wow, that was amongst the best of interpretations of these great classics that I have ever heard and one of the best tributes ever to the Beatles and Lead Zeppelin
Plain and simple just amazing
Thank you Angel!! 😀
If you are hearing this today you are not alone. We are the resistance
🤘!!!
6:55- 7:08
WHOA.
I've honestly come back here loads of times. I LOVE this cover.
I found this about 2012…. We used it to entre the church & get married…. I think your voice could destroy & rebuild worlds…
Wow. That’s amazing!! Thrilled & honored to hear it.
Yes, that's Metatron on flute!
(Obscure "Dogma" reference, soon to be a question on Jeopardy!)
Subbed...
So rare I hear sounds that hit my spot so capably :)
(You guys heard Duck Sauce Barbra Streisand right? That hit my spiot too...
^lololol but tru ;) )
WOOOOOOOW this made the hairs in my neck stand right up... awesome, i have barely heard covers like this. Let me know more of your music guys, i loved this...
I’ve introduced this cover to many people, and I found this on accident about 3 years ago. As a fan of both The Beatles & Led Zeppelin, you guys outdid yourselves in my opinion, and I think it’s just as good as the original versions of the songs.
Love to hear this! So glad you found it. And thanks a ton for sharing it!
Love to hear this! So glad you found it. And thanks a ton for sharing it!
@@aaronenglishmusic You’re very welcome, I also really enjoy the other stuff you’ve put out!
@@jgm0317 fantastic to hear - I appreciate you giving the rest of the catalog a listen!
@@aaronenglishmusic No problem!
@psandoval318 Thanks Peter! We'd love to play Dallas; I wish I had more of an answer for you than that...!
So is this an ASCII John Lennon?: (('j')) It's brilliant, I'm stealing it.
jajaja una masa el violero
wonderful! My 16yo came in from the other room...amazed that his ol' dad would dig such cool alternative music. I smilled and we just listened... to two different songs.
OK,I was amazed,I think there should be a "love" button! I never usually ever like to hear other bands do cover songs,that's changed now. I don't know how I happened to get an email to listen in,but so glad I did!! OH MY STARS!!!!
Good cover! Kashmir has been my theme song since I saw Zep on 4 August & 11 August , 1979 @ Knebworth......
Ah wow. Jealous of that, George. I can’t imagine what it was like on the scale of “minds blown”....
And _thank_ you for giving this a listen!
never heard of this band but I LIKE!!!! Great new sound to great old tunes I grew up with!!!!
What a voice, what a sound. Absolutely fabulous!!!
Impressive sound musicians . Amazing singer 👨🎤
Thank you!! So great to hear.
That’s how great music is made. Re-interpreting and expanding the previous work. Bravo gentlemen!
Thank you Thomas!! 😀
Amazing job guys! Being only of the age that I am, I do listen to pretty much only this type of music. Vocals sound just like Robert does when you first entered into "Kashmir". Once again well done all of you and Good Luck!
when i close my eyes i hear robert plant. thank you soo much.
#1 4/17/22: I discovered these 2 pearls
#2 Aaron: you deserve the No.1 in the Top Chart #3: My greatest respect to the band mates, love the Hammond touch on the 2nd key of NW #4: Derek: are you the reincarnation of Bonzo?
I love this, thanks Dario! Especially #4 - comparison to Bonham is high praise indeed!
@@aaronenglishmusic Aaron, I am honoured to see that my comment caught your attention. All of my buddies have been informed about your art. ROCK ON!
@@dariogiordani4982 🤘!!!
Still come back to this video over and again. Partially because I know Mark and am a follower of Arron but mostly because this compilation is amazing
I came back AGAIN because this is a FANTASTIC rendition of 2 of some of my fave tunes, actually...KUDOS, boys!
Hey Uncle Aaron love your music can't wait to see you again
Quite simply the best cover ever. Amazing musicians and what a voice!
The AEBand venture reverently on sacred grounds. Often classic songs are desecrated by ham handed cover bands but these guys pay respect to the original artists while offering their personal offerings upon the altar of Rock 'n Roll. I would love to see these guys live where we could all behold and bow to the gods of the British invasion that liberated us from the tyranny of bubble gum pop and set us free. Long live Rock! Its up to the future generations to keep it LOUD and ALIVE.
Thanks for sending me the link guys. Kashmir is definitely in my top 5 favorite tunes of all time and you guys did a real excellent job of it, really impressive interpretation and dovetailed beautifully with Norweigan Wood, will definitely be looking out for a bit more of your work, thanks guys, and props to the lead, he looks like he's having a cracking good time
I stopped counting how many times Ive listened to this... Guys....it freakin' still amazes me..THANK YOU for singin' these tunes right into my soul...
What a way to grab our minds two very great songs
impressive...it's amazing to discover these great interpretations of legendary classics..it makes me think i'm born in a time where listen to good music is still possible...i'm grateful to you.thanks guys :)
Very nice! Changing it to phrygian makes the Beatles so much darker. Well, that and the 90's style arrangement - especially drums and vocals. Digging the flute, too. And sick transition. All together great cover - you do your own thing while still staying faithful to the originals. love it
Well done, at times I was almost transported to a feeling of complete 'back in the day' . You have captured the absolute essence of Zep. Way to go lads, well done.
That flute was simply beautiful. A great cover indeed. You guys are really worth hearing ! Keep folkrocking guys!
Well done men. Great arrangement. I will share this with my fellow music lovers. Would like to hear more of your playing.
Wow! Honestly I didn't expect it to be so well done... love the work, look forward to more songs and wish you guys all the best!
Brilliant! Amazing musicians!
Thank you @Morrigan !!
best cover of norwegian wood i've ever heard!!! It's fantastic, awesome!!!! great work guys!!
Love the mashup! Shades of Mark Stein on the way back machine with the old Hammond B-3.
Thank you David!!
Spotified it! Booyah!
Wish I was still young enough to plop in a beanbag chair and “get mellow” 😉
Great combination. Never would've thought.
I am back after 3 yrs and am supporting the band on Patreon (I believe in paying for my music)
Thanks for blowing my mind again and again, from Toronto ☮
awesome. virgin radio italy broadcasted this 3 weeks ago. it's been in my mind ever since.
I agree that would be amazing to hear cover versions of those Stones classics. I love this though, first heard it on the radio driving inItaly, came home and had to find it now listen to it all the time
Listening to this yet again. I love this so much. Aaron, I never thought I'd enjoy a cover of a Lennon song so much. Hearing this makes me feel like a teenager again, in a good way.
At first I was a little surprised by the hard, psychedelic attack on "Norwegian Wood". But it grew on me. My head was spinning by the time they launched into "Kashmir". Perfect segue. I was definitely head nodding by the end!
