Led Zeppelin - 'Rock And Roll' (Alternate Mix)

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Yes, it has

It's been a long time since The Book of Love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
Whoa, whoa, oh

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Oh! Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Oh yeah, open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in!
Yeah!

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Κάπου, κάπως, κάποτε (στα 80ς ήταν) είδα σε δισκάδικο το εξώφυλλο του τετάρτου δίσκου των Led Zeppelin. Δεν θυμάμαι αν είχα ξανακούσει το όνομα της μπάντας ή απλά ήταν επιλογή ενστικτώδης, της στιγμής. Το βινύλιο στο πικάπ. Μικρή εισαγωγή και μία φωνή αρχίζει να τραγουδά: «Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move / Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove»! Και ακολουθεί ο "κεραυνός" "Rock and Roll". (Και μετά "The Battle of Evermore" και "Stairway to Heaven" και...) Κάπως έτσι ξεκίνησε η σχέση μου με την Βρετανική μπάντα, η οποία άντεξε στον χρόνο και "κρατά" μέχρι τις ημέρες μας...
