long and soulful instrumental section
with many fans making comparisons to

to seven minutes with two killer guitar
solos contrasted by some of the Bands
soft vocals

to a limited budget it was recorded in
drummer Carney’s basement on an old
8-track recorder

has ever laid down the song has stood

standout track from the band’s vast
discography

stripes

praised the track and drew comparisons
to the music of Led Zeppelin

becoming the huge hit they are now 10
