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?

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.

Alone this song is nice, but nothing stunning.   Throw in memories of spring, high school musicals (real ones, not Disney movies), and driving a beat up Dodge Omni up Route 9W and then it starts to mean something to me. {#Angel}

I warmly recommend "66 to Timbuktu". It contains a slightly different version of this song and a lot of outstanding others.

Most of this album is pretty darn good. I recommend Dreamland and Mighty Rearranger as well -- more than Now & Zen -- both are some of the best from Plant. Some really good music, and un-Ledded. IMHO FWIW

I really like the tonality of the guitar on this track...

Liam S Tyson (born 7 September 1969 in Liverpool, England), also known as Skin, was the lead guitarist for the now defunct Liverpool band Cast. Since the bands split, Tyson has gone on to play with Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant in his new band "The Strange Sensation".

Liam also played in the greatly under-rated Liverpool band 'Pyramid Dream' who played around liverpool in the late 80's / early 90's, and also performed a short series of concerts in Leningrad, St Petersburg in 1991, in a cultural exchange tour organised by Liverpool City Council. The music of this band was a highly sophisticated blend of Pink Floyd style ambience with shades of U2's emotive power and something of the harmonic and melodic subtlety of the Pat Metheny Group, of whom the band were big fans.

Liam did not contribute greatly to the compositions of this band however, his contribution lying in 'total dedication to his instrument'.

Plant plays with cream of the crop musicians.
Rather than glitz, this is architecture and lets face it Plant & co knows how to build em.
Now Robert go buy the plane ticket, grab Page by the neck (of his axe) and come on over across the big pond - - lets ROCK ... Seattle "69" w/ 3 dog nite.

Okay, I get Led Zepplin, but Robert Plant after Led Zepplin is like a computer hacker...all that talent, know how, ability, genius...and it's thrown away. Sorry, just don't get post-Zep Plant.
