"Over the Hills and Far Away" is the third track from English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1973 album Houses of the Holy.
The piece starts off with a 6-string acoustic guitar intro from guitarist Jimmy Page; the melody reminiscent of his earlier instrumental work, "White Summer," which Page had recorded with The Yardbirds. Upon the second repetition, Page doubles the figure with a 12-string acoustic guitar.
Robert Plant's vocals come in on the third repetition. Plant tenderly offers himself to the "lady" who's "got the love [he] needs." The acoustic guitars build to a crescendo, when Page crashes in with electric guitars along with drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones on rhythm accompaniment.
