In 1984, Plant formed a short-lived all-star retro rock group with musicians Jimmy Page (also of Led Zeppelin), Jeff Beck, and Phil Collins called The Honeydrippers. The band had a Top Ten hit with their song "Sea of Love", a remake of the Phil Phillips' chestnut. Plant's also notably performed with Page in the outfit Page & Plant.
Plant's love of the music of Morocco led him to a new collaboration called Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation. The band's releases met with critical acclaim and numerous Grammy nominations. They completed a notable 2006 tour of Europe in September.
In 2007, Plant began recording and performing with American bluegrass star Alison Krauss. A duet album, Raising Sand, was released on 23 October 2007 on Rounder Records. The album, recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles and produced by T-Bone Burnett, met with enormous critical and commercial success. Tours have reached devoted audiences in multiple cities.
The year of 2010 proves to be yet another successful year for the lemon squeezer. During the summer, Plant will be reuniting with his old, Pre-Zep group, The Band Of Joy, for a tour of the southern and mid continental tour of the US.
In 2012 Robert Plant starts another band project going by the name Sensational Space Shifters releasing the live album Robert Plant Presents: Sensational Space Shifters. Along with Plant himself the band consists of Liam "Skin" Tyson, Justin Adams, Billy Fuller and John Baggot along with Dave Smith, Juldeh Camara and Patty Griffin.
Come Into My Life
Robert Plant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Among the hollow of faces I know you're there, it must be soon
And I must straighten up review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes
I thought I'd lost so long ago
[Chorus:]
Come into my life Here where nothing matters
Here where nothing matters Come into my life and roll away the gloom
Always a love and beauty
A lover's sighs content too soon
Somewhere behind her heartbeat
A breath of kindness hints of gloom
So I must straighten up Review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes, I thought I'd lost so long ago
[Chorus x2]
Take it on, take it on
Oh yeah, when you get there, well, you know
Oh-oh, I want to be there!
Oh, when you get there, well, you know
Oh, I want to be there!
I want to be there!
I want to be there!
[Chorus:]
Come into my life
Here where nothing matters
Come into my life and roll away, roll away
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, baby
And roll away, roll away, roll away
Hopes drift in, higher places
It's easier, above the ground you know
Hopes are drifting, hearts been lifting
Somebody somewhere no, done you wrong
In Robert Plant's song "Come Into My Life", the lyrics speak to the struggle of maintaining hope and positivity in the face of difficulty and hardship. The first verse sets the scene with the image of hopes drifting in higher places, away from the gloom that surrounds the singer. Despite feeling surrounded by "hollow faces", the singer knows that someone they care about is nearby, and hopes that they will arrive soon. The chorus invites this person - or perhaps anyone who can bring light into the singer's life - to "come into my life" and "roll away the gloom". The second verse reflects on the transience of beauty and joy, and hints at sadness beneath the surface. However, the singer again declares their intention to "straighten up" and "pour the hope back in my eyes".
Perhaps the most poignant part of the song comes in the bridge, where the singer pleads for someone to "be there" when they arrive at their destination, and to "take away the pain that's hurtin' so bad". This sense of longing for connection and relief from suffering is universal and relatable, and gives the song a sense of urgency and emotional depth.
