I saw him in concert on this tour right before I went into the Navy.  Great song.  I miss the passion that used to be in his music.

The ALL-TIME BEST Robert song EVER!

Best listened to in headphones while sitting on the beach - gazing into the ocean.

It's been my favorite for as long as I can remember. I got the amazing chance to meet him years back in Myrtle Beach after the House of Blues concert and when I told him it was my favorite song, he said, "Yes, it's a girly song." Ha! I bet there are lots of guys in this forum who like this song too! Still - meeting him was quite the experience! We got to sit and have a drink with him and his band. Definitely unforgettable! The musicians were very cool.

The tour for this album was my first "Big Stadium" show. Fun to hear, but only for the nostalgia factor.

The chorus guitar effect is so '80s. It was pretty neat, got waaaaay overused—like the wah-wah pedal in the '60s—and you barely hear it anymore.

Dude! Have you ever considered that a vast swathe of the world does not consider plastic surgery a positive attribute?

Doug Boyle just released a CD entitled The Third Rail. He's brilliant IMHO.

I think that Robert Plant's post-Led Zeppelin work is under-appreciated.  If you compare it to what Rod Stewart did when Disco took over, it all becomes much clearer.  Robert Plant forged a new direction by aligning himself with a talented group of musicians centered around ultra clear, shimmering, non-distorted guitar sounds and lots of clean and clear music and sounds that had nothing to do with disco, etc., but was more akin to world music.  It was the total opposite of Led Zeppelin, but not conforming to the trends of the day.  Great stuff.

 

Good analysis. This is so NOT Led Zep that it caught my attention. I find his stuff to be creative and interesting, instead of just more cock-rock. It had its place, but those were different times.

Well said, seeing his work within context reveals soulful artistry.
