The song is notable for having an experimental, amateurish structure and, as the members were still not sure what they would create, it is more of collective work on a song.The song starts as a soft ballad, with Keith Emerson playing piano glissandos and Greg Lake playing acoustic guitar, and going into an improvisation by Lake, which culminates in a hoedown-like riff backed by claps, and the main theme is then reprised.

Personnel

*Keith Emerson: Piano
*Greg Lake: vocals, Bass Guitar, acoustic guitar
*Carl Palmer: drums, percussion
