In April 2007, after touring in the U.S. and Europe, the band released its first album, Lez Zeppelin, which was produced by Eddie Kramer, former recording engineer on several Led Zeppelin albums. In the wake of this release, the band was invited to festivals including the Download Festival in the UK, Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in Germany, and the Voodoo Festival in New Orleans.
Throughout 2008, the group continued to tour in the U.S. and in the late Autumn made its first visit to Japan to promote the release of its debut record. In March 2009, Lez Zeppelin played a benefit concert in Mumbai. In 2010, the band headed back into the studio to record a second album, Lez Zeppelin II.

Lez Zeppelin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'm gonna put you down for a while
I said, I can't quit you, babe
I guess I'm gonna put you down for a while
Since you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child
Yes, you did, babe, oh, oh
You know I love you, baby
My love for you, I could never hide
Oh, girl, know I love you, babe
My love for you, I could never hide
When I feel you near me, little girl
You know you are my one desire
Whoa oh, whoa, oh
When ya hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
You know you hear me deep down inside
Oh, I said when ya hear me moanin', groanin'
You know you hear me deep down inside
[Incomprehensible], baby
You know you're my one desire, love
Yes, you are, babe, oh
The lyrics to the song "I Can't Quit You Baby" by Led Zeppelin express the singer's intense and conflicted feelings towards his lover. He admits that he can't quit her, but also acknowledges that she has caused problems in his life, specifically in his relationship with his child. Despite this, he cannot deny his love for her, and when she is near him, he is overcome with desire. The singer's moaning and groaning suggest a physical yearning for his lover, one that is deep down inside him and cannot be suppressed.
The lyrics capture the tumultuous and addictive nature of love, where even when the relationship causes pain and harm, the attraction and temptation to continue it cannot be ignored. The singer's struggle to reconcile his conflicting emotions towards his lover is reflected in the passionate and intense sound of the music, which features dynamic guitar riffs and wailing vocals.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the complexities of love and the challenges of letting go of something that brings both pleasure and pain.

I, I can't quit you, babe
I am unable to break up with you, my love
So I'm gonna put you down for a while
But I will separate from you for some time
Since you messed up my happy home
Because you ruined my peaceful family life
Made me mistreat my only child
You caused me to be cruel to my own offspring
You know I love you, baby
You are aware of my strong affection towards you, my dear
My love for you, I could never hide
I can never conceal my love for you
When I feel you near me, little girl
When you are close to me, my beloved
You know you are my one desire
You are the only one I crave
When ya hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
If you hear me moaning and groaning in agony
You know you hear me deep down inside
You also sense my pain from the bottom of my heart
Oh, I said when ya hear me moanin', groanin'
I repeat that if you hear me in distress
You know you hear me deep down inside
You will undoubtedly feel my inner pain as well
You know you're my one desire, love
Just remember, you are the sole object of my desire, my love
Yes, you are, babe, oh
Yes, it's true, my dear

Page, Plant, Bonham & Jones carried me through some dark days. My gratitude for them is eternal. I thank the universe for making it possible for them to exist.
