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.
RAINBOW
Robert Plant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh Ooh Ooh
I found a lucky charm
I dressed it up with love
I crossed the Seven Seas to you
Will it be enough?
And I will be a rainbow
And I will bring the song for you
And I will carry on
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
I'm reachin' for the stars
In the sky above
Oh, I will bring their beauty home
The colors of my love
And I will be a rainbow
Now your storm is gone
And I will bring my song to you
And I will carry on
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Love is enough
Though the world be a wind
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining
My hands shall not tremble, my feet shall not falter
The voyage shall not weary, the fish shall not alter
Hmm, It's rainbow, oh it's rainbow
Oh, can't you see the eyes are the eyes of a lover
Pocket full of hearts
A world that's filled with love
A love that carries all before
The passion and the flood
I lie beneath the rainbow
Now your tears have gone
And I will sing my song for you
And I will carry on
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Oh yeah, oh oh oh oh no no baby Ooh oh oh
Oh yeah, Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
(Ooh Ooh Ooh)

I found a lucky charm
I came across something I believe will bring me good fortune
I dressed it up with love
I put my heart and soul into it to make it special
I crossed the Seven Seas to you
I went through a lot of trouble to reach you
Will it be enough?
I am unsure if what I have done is sufficient

Oh, while your storm is gone
I will be there for you when things are tough

The colors of my love
The vivid expression of my affection
Now your storm is gone
Now that you are no longer troubled
And I will bring my song to you

Love is enough
If we have love, everything else is secondary
Though the world be a wind
Even if the world is harsh and unforgiving
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining
Even if there is negativity all around us
My hands shall not tremble, my feet shall not falter
I will remain steadfast and resolute
The voyage shall not weary, the fish shall not alter
I will stay the course until the end
Hmm, It's rainbow, oh it's rainbow

A world that's filled with love
A world where love is abundant
A love that carries all before
A love that conquers all obstacles
The passion and the flood
The intensity of my emotions
I lie beneath the rainbow
I am basking in the glow of hope and happiness
Now your tears have gone
Now that you have stopped crying
And I will sing my song for you
I will express my love for you through music
And I will carry on
I will keep loving you and making you happy
