Lyric discussion by stefmon69 

I listen to this song when I run. Starting slow with that dreamy beginning I feel the anticipation of a good run. Then Bonzo hits that drum shooting me out of a cannon. A team of horses run beside me in time to the galloping drum. Time changes carry me across ever changing terrain. I'm on a trip through lands I'll probably never see. When I get tired and want to give up, that cymbal crash in the middle is a hand on my back pushing me forward and faster. Back to the dreamy end just like the beginning...I feel like I could run forever. This song is not a song, it's an experience. Who gives a shit what it means...it's how it makes me feel. It helped me to keep running when I wanted to give up on the whole thing.

@stefmon69 I enjoyed reading your experience. Bongo’s incredible energy would be good for running. I am just now really listening to this song,, and ai have to play it over and over,,.

@stefmon69 Hello, I came across your comment while researching Led Zeppelin and was wondering if you'd allow me to quote this or part of it in a music analysis book I'm working on as an example of how feeling and meaning in a song are related. It really describes how I hear Zeppelin, too. Please drop me a word at major[number seven][at]mail[dot]com if this would be okay. Thank you!
