What are they talking about twist though? Maybe they are talking about the late 50's and 60's. Their childhood thus what they remember as 'golden years' Especially Plant, who wrote the lyrics obviously, who was a huge country boy/hippie sort of thing. He was, possibly is, the type of guy who likes to just lie in the grass and search for insects. So he's referring to his childhood, or at least that time period, because he remembers things being slowed down and less urgent etc. That's my only guess. lol

Hmmm. And my 2 cents. I generally hate country. I also hate rap. But at camp last year I heard these guys rapping and long story short, it was amazing. It was just raw, and just 3 or 4 guys singing about whatever came to mind with whatever they had on hand. It was modern day blues. See, when you hold grudges against genres or really anything, all you're doing is missing out. If there's some great thing or song or whatever of that genre, but you're too stubborn to accept it, then I really don't care, but all you're doing is preventing yourself from liking a song. (Or whatever you apply this to)
