"White Room", written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown , is a Single by Cream from their 1968 Album '' Wheels Of Fire ''. After Bassist Jack Bruce wrote the Guitar pieces, Cream's Lyricist , poet Pete Brown , grouped colorful four-syllable phrases, loosely organized around images of waiting in an English train station influenced by the drugs he was taking. The combination is often considered one of the shining moments in British Psychedelia . "White Room" is further noted for its unusual Time Signature of 5/4 in the introduction and bridge, with triplets played on tympani by Ginger Baker , his thunderous bass drum part also lacing the verses. Finally, "White Room" is notable for showcasing guitarist Eric Clapton 's best known use of the Wah-wah Pedal (possibly aside from " Tales Of Brave Ulysses ") in the bridge and extended solo. Along with " Sunshine Of Your Love " and " Crossroads ", White Room is one of Cream's most notable songs, reaching number 6 on the U.S. Pop Charts .
