This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and I were just sniffing each other out. We'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and I was having trouble with latency in my recording. Out of frustration, I recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, I got my recording issues settled and we continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 
  In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 
  You can even watch a video of us all adding our parts on John's page right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdeT8ySZow&ab_channel=LowTechniqueCovers
  Our hope is that we honored the almighty Led Zeppelin with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

A.J. Kaufmann is a Polish genre-bender. Weaving folk, noise, and psychedelic rock, he creates a "Strange World" of sound. From heavy riffs to spaced-out soundscapes, his music (albums like "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer") and poetry explore the fringes. Look out for his new single "Ramzes Metamorfozis" and upcoming album on The Swamp Records in December 2024.

The only symbol or Emoji I used before becoming active on social media was the heart and happy face.  I have since expanded my knowledge at least 500%! However, I would rather write or say what I'm feeling, and I don't like the guessing game when texting with others.  BUT, I do have a favorite Emoji, Sparkles!  I love the overarching meaning of celebration, excitement, joy, happiness, love of life, and gratitude.  I also love pairing sparkles with the heart (my second favorite Emoji) to mean a deeper feeling of admiration and love.  When I started to create this piece, the tones and melody sparkled with shimmering magic.  The style of Impressionism is just that! I hope you love the sparkle too!

Sparkles

Lyrics

Why, Why can't I hear you?
Why can't I see you?
You seem so far away

Winter, Winter it comes again
I'm not into folklore
Whispers are coming in

Now, Now I can hear you
Now I can see you
It's never been a yell

Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order

Purple, Purple all through the air
I'm not ready, no matter what I say
Windows, I see little windows 
Of how it's gonna be
Maybe it's time to go

She hasn't' sung
She hasn't sung her song
She hasn't sung her song

Winter, Winter is rolling in
I'm not into folklore
The whispers come again

Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order
Light and order

Light and Order
