Vega Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 FFS is that the saddest song of all time or what? All of my Love was bad enough - but this is a desperate plea from a Fathers Heart - Robert Plant is a legend. The whole Walking Into Clarksdale album is a pure genius and a delight to listen to, though musical critics never bothered to love it very much, or to shower it with awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Gorgeous song - one of my favorites on the album. I find the lyrics as a whole incredibly moving, albeit very sad. I love how these are paired against the sparse instrumentation. Just highlights it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Exactly, in case of this song it feels like a huge train moves along, the train being the Song, and you are inside it. Eery and wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetelisa Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 This has been one of my favourite songs since the first time I heard it! It's just... wonderful, divine, amazing! So sad, so tender... It's so emotional... I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Exactly, in case of this song it feels like a huge train moves along, the train being the Song, and you are inside it. Eery and wonderful. This song, Most High, Please Read The Letter (original) and Walking Into Clarksdale were my faves from this album. I'm surprised they chose to not perform Blue Train on tour. Would have been a good choice and gone places with it. Could have really developed into something special live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart In Your Hand is probably my favorite on the album. It's incredibly painful lyrically but so beautiful. I also really like Shining In The Light - has a real "feel good" vibe to it. I found this album was one that really grew on me over time. I loved it when I first heard it but I needed to spend a lot of time to really appreciate it to the extent I do now.

At least, for now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Looking over the lyrics I always thought he said: Carry my darkness on instead of carry my darling son. I don't know! I just listened to the song again and it's hard to tell. Lyric sites are often not 100% accurate. Hmmm..... As an aside, I haven't listened to this in a while and Robert's vocals are absolutely fantastic - he really captures the sadness of the song so well.

bigzepfan Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Definitely one of the best on the album. Such a great song and so much emotion. down home blues, jimmy and robert style!!! I wanted to see this song so bad live, but they never played it. I put this disc back in my car since this thread was started. I'm so glad I did. It is most excellent especially when most high. It's too bad timing was off. If Jonesey and Jason were on this album it probably would have won grammy's and the whole nine yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they did win a Grammy for Most High without JPJ and Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they did win a Grammy for Most High without JPJ and Jason Didn't know that. That was one of the better songs on the album and definitely one of the most rockin' I'll be listening to it every day for awhile. I even typed the lyrics myself listening to it when the thread was started and compared what I sing versus what was on here. A few other minor differences. I just saw on youtube this morning for the first time house of love and when i was a child live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigzepfan Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 It's just amazing how much is on youtube. It's mindboggling considering that when I was a teenager in the late seventies/early eighties I had to drive half an hour to get to a record shop that had any bootlegs and 2 1/2 hours down to nyc to many great record shops. Now you hop online and there's everything at your fingertips. It is truly a different world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bong-Man Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I don't intend this to be mean, but is it at all possible that Robert occasionally wrote lyrics of loss that were meant for a woman ? Rumor is he's had a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It was the first song I liked when I listened to the album and is still my fav Page/Plant tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor is he's had a few. Totally get what you're saying - and I don't think the lyric is "darling son". Fantstic song though - from a stellar album.

I went to high school with the store clerk and he called me and said " Badgeholders is in, come tonight ,I hid a copy under the the counter for you". I still have the vinyl around here somewhere, along with a few others. I also think that WIC is a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
