Embrace Another Fall
Robert Plant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I often think of you
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
Farewell my wondrous home

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

Overall Meaning

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

Embrace Another Fall Lyrics.....Robert Plant

You walked into my life
Awoke my spirit soul
You saved me from my deep
Farewell my wondrous home
Oh! The life upon your lips

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".
