Robert Plant

If you are going to discuss the greatest rock singers of all time there is no way you can leave Robert Plant out of the discussion. He could do so many things with his voice and of course he had such a presence live! I love this song from his solo Cd, Now and Zen! He had previously distanced himself from his Led Zeppelin past but on this Cd he samples riffs and even had Jimmy Page play on the cut, Tall Cool One! Here are the lyrics and video to Ship of Fools.....




On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore.
New tide, surprise my world is changing.
Within this frame an ocean swells
Behind the smile I know it well.

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm
Adrift in pleasure I may drown.
I built this ship it is my making
And further more my self control I can't rely on anymore.

I know why
I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around, back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no

Who claims that no man is an island?
While I land up in jeopardy
More distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity
Draws ever sweeter plans for me

I know why
I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around, back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no ship of fools

Turn this boat around, back to my loving ground
Oh no.

Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around, back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no ship of fools

This is a great song from the CD Fate of Nations.....29 Palms.. ...




Back to Now and Zen and the most obvious evidence of Plant coming to peace with his Zep past and yes it is Jimmy Page playing that great Riff. You can hear Zep stuff throughout this song so be sure to listen to the cool ending.....
