I sit and wait for you
Like so many others do
Just like they do for me
Well so I do for you

I'd carry fire for you
Here in my naked hands
I'd bare my heart to you
If you will understand

I was a stranger there
Inside your promised land
That turned me inside out
And turned me upside down

I'd carry fire for you
Here in my naked hands
I'd bare my heart to you
If you will understand

Just like
Just like
Just like I scarred you
Just like
Just like
Just like I scarred you

I'm reaching out for you
Across the broken gate
I feel the gathering years
Beyond these lonely wastes

I'd carry fire for you
Here in my naked hands
I'd bare my heart to you
If you will understand

Just like
Just like
Just like I scarred you
Just like
Just like
Just like I scarred you

Would love to see a Plant and McKennitt show throw in John Paul... Wahoo!

Loreena McKennit, Alison Krauss & Robert Plant would be an amazing trio.

Our Robert always liked Moroccan music, even in his Zeppelin days.

Actually, I find his more recent work much more interesting than the Led Zep stuff, most of which I find insufferable.


I must admit LZ was a more interesting band when I was 17.

Just a personal opinion, but Robert Plant is one of those musicians whose solo work is as interesting as the work he did in his original band.

Wouldn't mind so much if it was his Led Zep days. The later solo and duet stuff is dire.

It wasn't until I read the lyrics that I figure out he wasn't like Iscariot.

Rob looks like a Neanderthal on album cover...thats a cool thing..imo i myself have a lot of Neanderthal..according to my dna
 
1 in 6 people of European decent can have up to 5% Neanderthal DNA
1 in 3 from south-central and western Asia

African and Far Eastern, no Neanderthal DNA.

I know this because I read Fall 2020 Neanderthal DNA was identified as a COVID risk factor.

Reminds me of the music of Salim Halali.

I first heard his music in the film Free Men (2011); it's a fantastic film and I fell in love with Halali's music in it.

Ha! 25 years ago, The Tea Party make it clear Led Zeppelin were a big influence on them. Now Precy (Robert Plant sounds like he has been influenced by The Tea Party. Check out The Edges Of Twilight and Splendor Solis. very good albums indeed.

5 times in 30 days? Why such heavy rotation?

Initially I found this song a minor irritation but after several repeats my score is approaching 0. Overplaying isn't good for any song. Makes people want to change stations.

This seems to be the sentiment of many of RP's commenter. I thought I had mentioned it to RP earlier, but see that I have not, which tells me there are a lot of listeners thinking this same thing, but not mentioning it.  Unfortunately, I feel like Bill and/or Rebecca love it so play it A LOT but the end result is the rating goes down because we are getting sick of it.  At least that is true for me.
 

As I love this song, I have no problem with hearing it regularly on RP. As for "why the one song off the album?"... I have to assume that as Bill regularly notes, RP actually pays the royalties to musicians to play songs, and that those royalties must add up fast, especially for Big Names like Plant. No doubt if we all kicked in bigger donations we'd see more money available to RP to see an even wider variety of music (as though 4 streams of stuff you NEVER hear on commercial radio isn't enough).

This song is so romantic and beautiful!  He has been exploring North African and Middle Eastern sounds for decades.

Great, great song.  Nothing faux about craftsmanship.  And Plant has been digging into Middle Eastern/South Asian musical traditions his entire career.

No! No! No! Gosh; how many times do we have to hear this? What the heck is he singing about, anyway? Is he banging Loreena Mckennitt? Sounds like it (hope so). But please don't play this wishy twaddle so often -- please!

The song is great, his voice is lovely on that tune, if you do not like, why not PSD?
But his music has evolved as has his voice... Accept musicians grow, as they get older, and are influenced by all genres of music, and the band, does not play faux middle eastern dirges.... They know their instruments...

Btw, what are middle eastern dirges, as the Middle East play a whole range of music ...

Time to pull out the Anti-Nowhere League verse -

So don't you criticise the things we do
No fucker pays to go and see you"

That just about covers it.

He still regularly produces music that is relevant, innovative and beautiful.  VERY FEW people of his generation can claim that.
