"I'm Gonna Crawl" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. It was composed by John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.
Heavily influenced by the American 1960s soul-blues style of Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, the music to "I'm Gonna Crawl" was in large part composed by Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones.[1] The song tells of a girl that "drives me crazy... she's the apple of my eye. I love the lady. I got to be her fool." However, Plant's passionate delivery, as well as the line "Every little bit of my love," is actually in tribute to his son Karac, who died in 1977.[citation needed]
"I'm Gonna Crawl" was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1]
John Bonham noted this as one of Robert Plant's best vocal performances.[citation needed]
