Might not be bad if I were trying to relax, but not what I want to hear on a Monday morning. Perhaps everyone listening in parts of the world where it's evening might be enjoying this.

Not a patch on the This Mortal Coil version, not by a long, long chalk. Stick to rock, Plantie. 3 from the Nottingham jury.
Edit: sorry, make that a 2 - it really gets worse and more offensive as it goes on. Bring on Liz Fraser and her goose-pimple-inducing ethereal voice.

Excellent, only Plant can make a ballad sound "ballsy." If only todays vocalists would try to emulate plant more.

I'll upload Tim's version - maybe Bill can play the versions head-to-head. No contest.
I'd be up for trying the original... as below.. I agree this is the worst I've heard it.. even the country version is better... yuck! I said *that* word (country) :D |

One of my all-time favourites practically ruined. Plant should stick to songs within his vocal range. Elizabeth Fraser did an excellent version with This Mortal Coil, but you can't beat the original by Tim Buckley, who wrote it 35(!) years ago.
I'll upload Tim's version - maybe Bill can play the versions head-to-head. No contest.

Rock 'n' roll/life on the road obviously took its toll. He has lost it, or I'm not that easily impressed anymore, whatever, it just doesn't convince me.

I think it's lovely. Between this and his "Darkness, Darkness" cover, I think I need to buy this album.

I just can't rate it at 5 or above.. I don't like how people sing and quiver their voice like it adds some false emotion to their attempt.. can't stand it... but the one by.. um.. what's her name... anyway.. her nazle twang grates too.. so its 6 or 1/2 dozzen either way you'd have it. :D

Sorry, RPies, I just don't get it. He sounds so tired and washed to me. I think bobby is onea those try-to-sound-artsy kind of singers. Does absolutely nothing for me musically or artistically. Seems to me he tries WAY too hard to have a style, vs. just having a style and belting out a tune.
Goes over like a Pb Dirigible.
