Music don't begin like a song. Forget all that bullshit you hear. Music can get to be a song but it starts with a cry. It might be the cry of a newborn baby, or the sound of a hog being slaughtered, or a man when they put a knife to his balls And that sound is everywhere.
People spend their whole lives trying to drown out that sound.
In my confusion and disbelief, I turned to Led Zeppelin to seek comfort, to bury my loss, to search for meaning. The hours they bring me pain. I must have lived with that song for over a month, and Plant's aching vocals and Page's hopeful acoustic twang literally anchored my sanity. And I do. But forget all that bullshit you hear.
