Nine GLORIOUS seconds
I am in such a *ridiculously* good mood today. The sun is shining, the honeysuckle is blooming at Santa Clara, I had a nice lunch with my grandpa, who tells elaborate stories which include sentences (in his Georgia drawl) like, "I surely would like a nice hot dog." And I have been sauntering around campus with my iPod and listening over and over to one of my favorite songs EVER, one that I could listen to and NEVER get tired of it: Over The Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin.

And then after all the beautiful sonic madness, wicked guitar solos, thundering drums, it deconstructs back down to the same perfect little riff, and you're done. It is ABSOLUTELY one of THE best songs to listen to on a day like today. It almost makes me want to explode in its perfection.
"Over The Hills And Far Away" - Led Zeppelin
From the How The West Was Won live CD (recorded in 1972)
Labels: california, led zeppelin

thats so weird - i was just playing this song on the guitar no less than 5 minutes ago.
great great great song.
I really like your blog, Your list of favorite movies hits like 9 of mine as well. Are you in Santa Clara CA?
Zeppelin = SICKKKK
i must get this dvd/cd
Nice pick on the Zeppelin, and an interesting review, way to break it down.
"I surely would like a nice hot dog."
I love it! My grandpa's from Georgia as well, I can hear him saying this.
As always, you rule.
This song is just so fucking great. If you wanna hear some modern rockers, check out Black Mountain.
Led Zeppelin is the original Heavy Metal band.
All others are posers.
Try Whole Lotta Love sometime.
But whatever you do don't listen to ZZ Top when you're drivin your car or you WILL get a Ticket.
