Included on their sixth album '' Physical Graffiti'' (1975), it was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant with contributions from John Bonham over a period of three years with lyrics dating to 1973. The song became a concert staple, performed by the band at almost every concert after its release.

Composition Page uses a guitar tuning of D–A–D–G–A–D, which he had used for the instrumentals "White Summer" and "Black Mountain Side".

The song was also dedicated to Dominic Howard's father, who died shortly after the band's performance at the Glastonbury Festival. Background and composition Some parts of the song have been around at least as early as 1999. Matt Bellamy had suggested a piece featuring ...
