Jonesy put it all together and the final result was exactly what was needed. He was an exceptional arranger. This is one of the few Zeppelin songs to use outside musicians.
Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections. All of the guitar parts would be on there. But the orchestra needed to sit there, reflecting those other parts, doing what the guitars were but with the colours of a symphony.
It was almost the antithesis of the music, this lyric and this vocal delivery that was just about enough to get in there. At the beginning, there was only Bonzo and me in Headley Grange. He played the rhythm on drums, and I found the riff as well as the overdubs which were thereafter duplicated by an orchestra, to bring more life to the track. All band members agreed this was one of their best musical achievements. But Kashmir in particular.
It was so positive, lyrically. It was also arguably the last time they would scale such heights. It's meaning had nothing to do with Kashmir, in northern India, at all. Two miles to the east and west were ridges of sand rock.
It looked like you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was seemingly no end to it.
