Lyric discussion by maharishi 

Strangely enough, this song was written about its own recording.

They were making the Machine Head album when their hotel burned down.

It was a time when bands wrote and recorded songs simultaneously, with no idea how it would result.

@maharishi Yes, indeed it is a TRUE story from Montreaux Switzerland back in the day. It seemed to be their most popular song ever, but I LOVE all their music, all of it! May their Rock live on timelessly!
