Going To California

I've never been the kind of person that could say, "This is my absolute favorite song of all time!!" but when this song comes on... every time i find myself thinking, "this might just be my favorite song."

I got into Led Zeppelin around my Freshman year of high school and i'll tell ya, i've never been the same since. From the first song my mother played for me, i knew i had been changed musically forever! Each part of this band comes together so magnetically that when they play, magic really does happen. Jimmy Page's unique guitar fingers, Robert Plant's sweet high voice, John Paul Jone's cool bass playing, and John Bonham's crazy drumming.

I FOREVER wanted to see them live and was always jelous that my mother got to (3rd row at The Garden that is! Ugh). Now i think to myself, maybe it's better this way... I would have much rather prefered seeing them in their prime, like when my mother saw them. Seeing them now just might ruin the imaginary concert playing in my head whenever i listen to them.

This is FOR SURE my favorite Zeppelin song, but even if i say that i will never decide or admit to having an all time favorite song.... this would def. be it, if that day ever came!!
