Love this song, but not this version, despite my general affection for Tori. Not the right voice or the right arrangement. It's beautiful when Robert Plant does it, but saccharine coming from her.

Worst song EVER! Had to rinse my ears out with some real Zeppelin after this travesty the first time I heard it. One of the rare songs RP plays that will send me to the mute button quickly.

Knowing Led Zep didn't write many of their own songs, I was surprised to see this was their first. Tori does it OK, but this song and these words caught my thoughts on love, long before my first engulfing experience set the foundation of feelings beneath it.
"Thank You" signaled a deeper involvement in songwriting by singer Robert Plant, being the first Led Zeppelin song that he wrote all the lyrics for. According to various Led Zeppelin biographies, this is also the song that made Jimmy Page realize that Plant could now handle writing the majority of the lyrics for the band's songs. Plant wrote the song as a tribute to his then-wife Maureen.
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be lovin' you
Mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me
Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain
Whisper on the plains
Tears have run thrust in the days gone by
If my love is strong
Here there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die
My, my
Inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration, love to see
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be lovin' you
Mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me |

I think that Bill and Rebecca feed off of our disgust with certain artists. Let's try this; Please play more Tori, I just love it! Think they bought it? No, seriously, please stop. |

I agree that this is a pretty cool re-interpretation. Bill programs in some excellent covers.
Wrong. We are really Tori-philes and are following the dictate given us by our Royal Queen Tori through the secret command encoded in the title of this album: Crucify Tori Amos |

I'm not a Tori-hater, but all her covers are starting to blend together for me. I wonder if we just heard the piano and her humming the vocals whether we could discern any one cover from another.  |
