"Brave Awakening
Mother I fear for the laddies
There ain't much more coal to go down to
There ain't much more soul
To get round to
Not anymore
Mother I hear for the laddies
Ain't much more soul to get round to
Lessening of companies that are finding
Things to bind to it anymore
I'd hate to just realise why
That company's getting so shy
The bairns don't have get-togethers
Round here not anymore
Mother I hear for the laddies
Talking 'bout going on down to
The town where the money's just bound to
Surely just ease the door
It's happening all over the city
There ain't much more doubt
To get down to
Lessening of reasons
That can send you
Back down for more
They're telling their sisters of why
Feelings that pass them close by
All that they seek
Is what they're wanting to keep
And it's glistening right there in their eyes
So mother I fear for the laddies
Father says no one goes down to
The face of some mine no boy of mine's
Gonna be bound to, anymore
The future, a brave new awakening
Have to no more go back down to
The bowels of this earth that will take you
Away from home and more"

"A refuzat șansa de a fi vocea uneia dintre cele mai mari trupe rock și totuși a devenit o legendă. Terry Reid, cântărețul britanic cunoscut pentru vocea sa puternică și pentru că a spus „nu” trupei Led Zeppelin, a murit la vârsta de 75 de ani după o luptă cu cancerul, a confirmat managerul său pentru The Guardian.
Reid a refuzat oferta de a se alătura trupei pentru că era deja angajat în alte turnee, dar nu a plecat fără a-și lăsa amprenta, recomandându-i pe Robert Plant și John Bonham, care au ajuns să fie vocea și sufletul ritmic al Led Zeppelin.
„Eu nu am putut să o fac, dar am adus jumătate din trupă... Ajunge din partea mea!”, a declarat el."
