Clementine Moss is the founder and drummer of Led Zeppelin powerhouse Zepparella, with a busy solo career as a singer and songwriter.

A graduate of UC Santa Cruz with a creative writing degree, her writing path gave way to a musical one until she began her blog Bliss and Drumming in 2016.

“Please listen to the hi-hat on the recorded version of Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks.”

Listen through once. Allow yourself to be trans- ported back to the time or place when you first fell deeply into that trance of sound, so wide and powerful it gave a new depth to your life, a depth you had not known to search for.

Or maybe this is the first time you are hearing the song. In that case, I imagine you prefer different music altogether. Maybe you discount rock and roll as ego-driven, disconnected from that channeled light of Bach or Satie or Django or Monk. No matter. Allow the resistance to rise here as well, then wait for the moment the song breaks through, rings that same truth, that same transportive bell of beauty, that hyp notic atmosphere music offers.

How beautiful to find lessons in our resistance. This may be a foundation of spiritual practice, to dive into the center of no and investigate. All those pronouncements and walls dis- solve like so much dust under the microscope of mind.

The trance of song—loud, immense, gorgeous—does the same.”
