My love is in league with the freewayIts passion will ride, as the cities fly byAnd the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of nightAnd the questions in thousands take flight
My love is the miles and the waitingThe eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clockAnd the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stopAnd its fuel is the years
My love is exceeding the limitRed-eyed and fevered with the hum of the milesDistance and longing, my thoughts do collideShould I rest for a while at the side
Your love is cradled in knowingEyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll comeSensing too well when the journey is doneThere is no turning back, noThere is no turning backOn the big log circling around in the bowl

Was it the tour for this album that they filmed for Stop Making Sense? It's such a gas watching Plant dance around in the big suit, but it's a total bummer watching his padded shoulders slump the moment he realizes the Hell's Angels have been murdering random audience members (even if he does gamely continue dancing through his despondency while mumbling 'Does anyone remember slaughter?' into his headset mic).

Yeah, I've been trying to track down a copy for ages. That's also the edition with the octuplefold sleeve that you can reconfigure into an actual little House of the Holy. I guess it makes sense that they got the best version of the album since the entire band is from Scotland.

Thought maybe this might be bumped for the early "Rain Song" version Page posted yesterday. Apparently this was only found again after the most recent reissues:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n1Bxp-YfTs
My original idea for the opening tracks for ‘Houses of the Holy’ was that a short overture would be a rousing instrumental introduction with layered electric guitars that would segue in to ’The Seasons’, later to be titled ‘The Rain Song’. Again there would be a contrasting acoustic guitar instrumental movement with melotron that could lead to the first vocal of the album and the first verse of the song. ‘The Seasons’ was a memo to myself as a reminder of the sequence of the song and various ideas I’d had for it in its embryonic stage. I’d worked on it over one evening at home. During the routining of the overture now titled ‘The Plumpton and Worcester Races’, the half time section was born and the overture shaped in to the song, ‘The Song Remains The Same’. These rehearsals were done in Puddle Town on the River Piddle in Dorset, UK.The first set of recordings were done at Olympic Studios with George Chkiantz.We then came to record at Stargroves, Sir Mick Jagger’s country home, and, like Headley Grange, with the Rolling Stones recording truck.‘The Song Remains The Same’ was played on a Fender 12 string, the same one used on Becks Bolero, with my trusty Les Paul number 1 on overdubs in a standard turning. The ‘Rain Song’ was an unorthodox tuning on acoustic and electric guitars. On live shows, it became a work-out feature for the double neck.
