This song could have easily been on LZ III or PG. Guitar would have been better and more complex and there would have been some drumming at some point, but the singing would have been identical.
It's so funny. Led Zeppelin was ROCK, and a huge influence on metal (etc.). Not to mention awesome. But at heart, Plant was a folkie. He would have been happy fronting Fairport Convention. Srsly.

Sounds just like Plant. I like this a lot more than the title track to this album which RP played quite a bit for a while...
Weird, sounds nothing like Plant. Maybe he used a stunt vocalist? Nice song, though.

Listening for the first time myself. What a lovely tune. Robert Plant gets a lot of grief for his relatively short career with Led Zeppelin. But this was less than 25% of his career. It's almost as if he said, "Rock Star, I've done that. I want to be an artist now."
Listening at work, not sure what the theme was this Cinco de Mayo, a folk vibe, Leo Kottke, Dolly the Goddess and this absolute gem I've never heard (Thanks RP) with this voice (possible embedded in my heart/memory/genes) just so so so like none other. Bravo Bill and Rebecca, for keepin it lit.

I've seen Robert appear at Fairport's Cropredy Convention twice - first time in 1992 as a surprise guest, and again in 2008. He performed 'Battle of Evermore' with them, Kristina Donahue taking on Sandy's vocals. Earlier in the day, he was seen mixing with the crowds round the beer 'tent', just being a normal guy and not the rock god he really is. Duuuuuude!

Another first for me here at RP. That's a very lovely song. No singing histrionics at all and a sweet, thoughtful tune. If one doesn't listen too closely, or isn't familiar with Zeppelin, one might never guess it was their singer. And that shape and sound shifting, my friends, is talent.

I perhaps would not have recognised this as Robert Plant so different from the immigrant song of 1970, oh i so remember this coming out, so would my neighbours would they be alive now, however i think this is a very gentle melody and well worth listening to again

as surprising song... I normally don't like him (or his protege Jack White) but this one was nice to listen to.
Trite, trite, trite......... sick of it the third time I heard it.
love his voice.
i like it.

Even more pressing, why would a man want to lift miserable discontent every day, especially when
it ruins his sweet music.
This is one of those songs that are amazing in their circular simplicity and perfection. I got the chords and played it on my acoustic guitar, it's easy yet there's a certain complexity to the arrangement in terms of the subtle emphasis in the measures. Really masterful.
That whole CD is one of my favorites of the past few years. Robert Plant is still making some great music.
Nice one Bob
I'm very proud to say that I once threw the goat to Robert Plant while on-stage in the middle of singing and playing a song and he nodded back at me on his way by. The song I was playing was one I wrote called "Dreamland", which was the title of his very next solo album. Hmmmmmmm.....
liftin' weights? Call me old fashioned 'cept I could think of a whole lot better things to be doing whilst listen to Robert Plant . . .

Slow crunches, Studmuffin! It'll pump you up!
It's not often that an artist who embarks on a solo career from a group as big as Led Zepplin, ever really succeeds. Robert Plant's solo career is every bit as listenable, but probably even more creative than Led Zepplin ever was. Even when he covers songs, he seems to add to it rather than detract, as is so often the case. I recently bought " dreamland". WOW
Truly "Outstanding"
I just love this song. It's so beautiful and inspiring. Just a perfect love ballad.
Never heard this side of Robert Plant.. very nice!
i like it!
Too much Zepp and not enough Led for my tastes. Needs an edge.

is out. Pick up all his solo albums for Xmas, plenty of B Sides. He continues to amaze after all these years.
Very nice, this is only the second track that i've heard off this record. As for the moron who thinks Robert Plant should of retired after the demise of Led Zeppelin, you are clueless and most likely (hopefully) too young to know better.
Would be amusing to hear this followed by All the King's Horses by . . . The Firm.
so so
Ah, Robert, your voice still makes me wonder
Beautiful
The Man still has it...niccccce...!
Fate of Nations was one of the first CD's I bought. It took me a while to grow into it, but once I did it became one of my favorite records. "If I Were A Carpenter" is a gem of song.

For all you lovers and haters of Robert Plant,you must give the CD Fate of Nations a listen.I do not agree with the LP concept message however it is the best colaboration with fellow musicians that Plant has ever done since the Zep days...it's even better than The Firm and the stuff he did with Page,in the later days...

Why should he have retired? I don't think Plant sees his music as some sort of day job. Of course it's not going to be as good as the Led Zep days, but what is? Does it bother you to hear him make 'mortal' music? And is that why he should stop doing what he loves?

Plant's upper range is blown, but he's still an incredible vocal stylist. Like it.
I have to say I'm glad the playlist has swung away from the world-beat stuff. This has been really nice.

yup...boring. Plant needs to lay off the bong. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Didn't Donny Osmond do a song called Soldier of Love back in the late 80s?
A good song from a great album. His voice is laden with passion, and that's what counts in music.
My current favourite from this album would have to be Freedom Fries.
hm, seems like I've previously rated this song.
hmm, seems like I gave it a 9.

Every time I hear this, I think it's Daniel Lanois. Very similar vocal style.
This is becoming one of my favorites from this CD. If it weren't for RP and information provided by RP forum contributors, I would never have stumbled across this gem. Both he and Steve Winwood are favorite performers, and I've been delighted by both of their recent releases (albeit, Winwood's was in 2003--I'm just now getting there). Good tunes, good lyrics, lots of layers to peel back which causes one to listen to the cd over and over, and over again! Thanks again RP and all you opinionated people.
I like this.

Agreed
everything i've heard from rearanger has been pretty good, his other recent album in this same veign 'dreamland' is good also. i didn't like it much at first but it really grows on you, a couple classics buried in his newr stuff.
i guess his voice of old was never what drew me to zep and I quite like this sound, a nice blend of contemporary folk sounds infused with heartelt emotion.

Exactly. I'd pretty much written him off. Thanks to Bill, as always, I've rediscovered him. This is great stuff.

Its called growing old gracefully, you foolish people. Where is the dishonour in that ?
Is this what some listeners mean when they complain about Tori Amos getting played every three minutes on RP? Cuz I'm feeling your pain. All Plant, all the time.
Plant is barely himself without page, and without his voice I'm not sure who he is.
I'm leaning toward the 'brown and smelly' camp

Ahhh...I think I've rather enjoyed a lot of this modern Robert Plant music. Very pleasant. 7.
Vocal stylings a bit like Bruce Cockburn? Or is that Daniel Lanois?
