This is truly the greatest song, and not just of cream. It's one of the few songs I know that, even when listened to one thousand times over, hooks each tissue of your nerves and mind in such an entrancing way... Everyone else may experience it differently, but despite never abusing drugs at any moment in my seventeen years of life, this song gives me such an incredible high. If anyone else can name a better experience they've had with a song, please do.

@binka21 Well I agree Totally! The chord progression was simple, but genius! The harmonies were well thought out. On "dance the night away" Bruce does an up scale and Eric goes down making the song pure Cream. Not many were pushing the envelope like this at that time. Jack Bruce Rules!

Gonna build myself a castle High up in the clouds There'll be skies outside my window Lose these streets and crowds Dance the night away Will find myself an ocean Sail into the blue Live with golden swordfish Forget the time of you Dance the night away Dance myself to nothing Vanish from this place Gonna turn myself to shadow So I can't see your face Dance the night away

This song is pure magic. Clapton's 12 string guitar is mesmerizing. Definitely one of my favorites among the many great songs this group gave us in the short two years they were together.

Clapton's Playing is on FIRE! His Psychedelic fingering on his Guitar is Legendary! This is one of my fav tracks on "Disreli Gears"!

@gwugluud Sir, I try to look and dress as plain as possible. Keeps a soulless exterior, and a soulful interior. Often times a rock-related T-shirt, some simple denim jeans, and some workin' boots. I try to get along with the dickless douchebags that infest the Earth in this day and age, to be fair, its all I got. In the respect of Yin and Yang, deep down in the darkness, there is a trickle of light. I've always had an interest in music, but sadly, I also have an interest in software..

@twmoore3ify I disagree completely. Take Risks cause it's just a ride

@GuyOnChair A seventeen-year-old who doesn't have a Curly Howard haircut, huge old-folks-home shorts, and listens to music which contains other frequencies besides just bass?? ....I say this cautiously, but...maybe there IS hope??
