The lyrics to "Ramble On" were heavily inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord ofthe Rings. Many of Led Zeppelin's lyrics call back to Tolkien's work, as Plant, their main lyricist, was heavily inspired by Tolkien as a writer. "Ramble On," in particular, references Mordor, Gollum, and "The Evil One," aka Sauron. Additionally, the line "Leaves are falling all around" is a play on Tolkien's "Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind" from his Elvish poem, "Namárië."
While "Ramble On" was not initially released as a single, Led Zeppelin II went on to chart at number one in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In the several decades since its release, the album has sold over 12 million copies worldwide. The song was included on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and ranked number 5 on the best songs by Led Zeppelin by the same publication.
Before 1980, "Ramble On" was never played live in its entirety by the original band. The full track was first performed live on December 10th, 2007, at a London performance.
