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.
Embrace Another Fall
Robert Plant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The hour before it rains
Across the broken days
That brought me home again
You walked into my life
Awoke my spirit soul
You saved me from my deep
Oh! The life upon your lips
Your heart could not foresee
Tangle I became
That brings me home again
Embrace another fall
My year is worn and cold
To you I bare my soul
My summer's almost gone
Oh, so blue must turn to grey
And out upon the shire
All through the frost and rain
I make my home
Mi glydwais fod yr 'hedydd
Wedi marw ar y mynydd
Pe gwyddwn i mai gwir y geiriau
Awn a gyrr o wyr ac arfau
I gyrchu corff yr 'hedydd adre
I gyrchu corff yr 'hedydd adre
In Robert Plant's song "Embrace Another Fall", the lyrics describe a sense of nostalgia and longing for someone who was once a significant part of the singer's life. The opening lines suggest that the singer often thinks of this person when it's about to rain, which could represent a reminder of the time they spent together. The broken days could mean that their relationship was not perfect, but it ultimately brought the singer home again. When the person walked into the singer's life, they awakened their spirit and soul and saved them from a deep state of despair. However, it seems that the relationship was not meant to be, and the singer must embrace another fall and move on.
The lyrics suggest that the person was very important to the singer, as the life upon their lips and the tangle they became seem to be inextricably linked to the singer's sense of home. The chorus speaks to the passing of time, and the inevitability of change - the year is worn and cold, and the summer is almost gone, but the singer still wants to bare their soul to this person. The final lines of the song are in Welsh, and they seem to suggest that the singer is seeking the body of a bird (the hedydd) to bring it home. This could be a metaphor for the singer's desire to return to a time when they were happier with this person, or it could be a literal desire to possess something tangible from that time in their life.
Overall, "Embrace Another Fall" is a hauntingly beautiful song with poetic lyrics that evoke a sense of melancholy and nostalgia. The song speaks to the universal human experience of longing for something that has passed, and the bittersweet feeling of accepting that it can never be regained.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh I often think of you
I frequently remember you
The hour before it rains
The moment when the rain is about to start
Across the broken days
Throughout the difficult periods
That brought me home again
Which eventually led me back home
You walked into my life
You entered my life
Awoke my spirit soul
Revived my inner self
You saved me from my deep
You rescued me from my distress
Farewell my wondrous home
Goodbye to my remarkable home
Oh! The life upon your lips
The vitality in your words
Your heart could not foresee
You didn't anticipate what lies ahead
Tangle I became
I was caught up in a complicated situation
That brings me home again
That eventually leads me back home
Embrace another fall
Accept another setback
My year is worn and cold
My year has been difficult and cheerless
To you I bare my soul
I reveal my innermost self to you
My summer's almost gone
My happy time is almost over
Oh, so blue must turn to grey
Sadness must inevitably turn to neutrality
And out upon the shire
Outside in the rural land
All through the frost and rain
In spite of the harsh weather
I make my home
I find my place to belong
Mi glydwais fod yr 'hedydd
I heard that the skylark had died
Wedi marw ar y mynydd
Having passed away on the mountain
Pe gwyddwn i mai gwir y geiriau
If I knew that the words were true
Awn a gyrr o wyr ac arfau
I'd gather up men and weapons
I gyrchu corff yr 'hedydd adre
To take the skylark's body home
I gyrchu corff yr 'hedydd adre
To take the skylark's body home

Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY
Robert Plant - one of the extremely few musicians who did not sit back and say "I was huge in the past" - Robert kept his desire to create long after many of his peers had decided to rest on their laurels. This is the proof of that.......BTW His voice is - well, really no comment, Robert's voice is unique.

The guitar solo rips...I wander what mystical journey Plant is on...he's somewhere in a strange surreal headspace.

I was most fortunate to see Robert Plant in concert for the first time a few weeks after this album became available. He performed this and many others from the album along with 6 Zep songs. The man is simply magical and magnificent and this album still blows me away. 🌺

She brought the conch shell back from the white sands of Muri Beach.The Rarotongan summoned the creatures from the deep. Her old friend the green horned bill turtle swam to shore to reminisce about the magical ride they shared in Punalu'u. Sirène wanted to tell him about the rainbow she had seen above the brick wall facing the lava flow. It was an upside down one which glowed over the new black sand beach.Her wise friend warned her of the Fijian sharks heading their way and to summon the shark caller. It was time to return to her silver lined oyster shell bed. Her adventures had brought her so close to Atlantis. It was the call from the deep which compelled her back at high tide. Another day closer to the love castle she had always longed for. One more try could bring everlasting happiness sealed with a "stolen kiss".
