such a simple, beautiful song! I am definitely going to scurry along the wet stones of the causeway, maybe wearing tinted sunglasses for that psychedelic color scheme

A dim memory of getting stoned for the first time at Boy Scout camp tumbles forth as this song starts. Absolutely laughed my ass off in the middle of the pitch-dark woods as the weed kicked in and the mosquitoes feasted away. Strange, but we weren't listening to Led Zep at the time...My own little madeleine cake moment. 

I do miss getting stoned, although I've done it less than 10 times in my life...It's been 20+ years now.

I think I dig Zep's acoustic stuff more than the straight electric. Even better when they blend the two sounds like this.

Hearing LZ on a radio makes me smile everytime. Such a perfect song to enlighten the mood in the room.

Not Stonehenge. It's the Giant's Causeway in N. Ireland.

Great. From a life long fan of all that is Led Zep. One of the first bands I ever saw live at the Empire in Liverpool.

If you were talking about The Rain Song or Ten Years Gone, I wouldn't argue.

This one though doesn't really qualify as 'one of the most beautiful and touching songs of all time.'  Or even of the last half hour.

 
Well, in my opinion, it does. Do you even like this song?

So glad to hear how much of a favorite this song is. The opening guitar riff is so comforting because its an instant reminder of how awesome the next 4 minutes will be.

I'm with you musicluver. I can't say this is my favourite song of all time but it sure as hell is no duffer!

This song's good, but come on:  No Quarter, The Rain Song, The Ocean? 

This could be the best Zep album ever.  Except for maybe LZ 1.  And maybe LZ 2.  And myabe Zoso (LZ 4) now that I think about it.  And let's not forget that LZ 3 was a killer folksy album, and a dramatic break from their previous heavy-duty rock albums.

Are we clear about all that now?
