	Ramblin'

No Picture brad Rhythm Player	#2 by brad music at May 25, 2006 at 7:22 AM EST
	I agree RockOn, I also love "My lover she is lying on the darkside of the globe". This is definately my favorite unheard-of-by-anyone-else-I-know. And they call themselves fans. :(

No Picture Toni Average	#3 by Toni at Jun 23, 2006 at 7:57 PM EST
	guitar rocks and jimmy does guitar the best out of any musician being a young music historian i dig up this shit wherever i can find it and jimmy just amazes me with his kick ass riffs licks verses and solos

No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#4 by Diego Rodriguez at Aug 14, 2006 at 6:33 AM EST
	To me this song sounds like an album filler. I mean the composition is sloppy and thrown together, the riffs aren't very cleaned up and it sounds like a very off-the-head type of song. But the song is one of my favs., if not my favorite Zep song because it's atmosphere is huge and the lyrics are very mysterious and positive.

No Picture Hey Retard Wanna Be	#5 by Hey Retard at Sep 29, 2006 at 4:57 AM EST
	I take this song as an ambiguous, I wish we could be at peace kinda thing. I'm not sure. 'Is the new world risin, from the shambles of the old?' or 'If we could just join hands' (and be at peace) Thats what it sends me.

No Picture FrEAk!!! Wanna Be	#6 by FrEAk!!! Matis at Dec 14, 2006 at 11:08 AM EST
	ok so its established that the guitar quality in this song is great, but listen carefally to the bass in the chorus and at the start of the song where it plays the same chords of the chorus. it slides up from E im guessing by what i hear to i think A. anyways to the point. its sounds fucking incredible!!!

No Picture bob Average	#7 by bob bob at Dec 16, 2006 at 1:10 PM EST
	I love this song, i think it has a great message, I love the part especially where they say, "And our time is flying, see the candle burning low, Is the new world rising from the shambles of the old" Great Lyrics right there!

No Picture PunkJunky Wanna Be	#8 by PunkJunky at Feb 2, 2007 at 9:00 AM EST
	This song is terrific if a bit overlooked, like most of "Physical Graffiti". Page really excels himself here. I can't really figure out what the lyrics mean, although they sound cool. Are they about life on the road, perhaps?

No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#9 by lewi broadway at Feb 14, 2007 at 6:16 AM EST
	this is my favourite.

No Picture David Rhythm Player	#10 by David Bradley at Sep 15, 2007 at 1:37 PM EST
	Maybe it's about this guy who is wandering the world trying to find his 'lover'. "Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go " "If we could just join hands" "..from a love that won't grow cold My lover, she is lying, on the dark side of the globe." ^Seems to point out something similar. But then he sings about the "new plague on the land" and about some corruption on earth. Maybe it's not an actual lover he's looking for, maybe this rover is wandering the world to find his paragon.
