The common misconception about this song is that Plant wrote it for his late son. While he laments the loss of his son in this song, Plant is singing it to/for his wife, Maureen. Plant had a very difficult time forgiving himself for being on tour while his son was dying (the seriousness of the infection was misdiagnosed). His grief affected his marriage. This song is Plant telling his wife that she and their marriage are his priority and he is past chasing the feather in the wind (his late son): "Should I fall out of love My fire in the night To chase a feather in the wind?"
Led Zeppelin is one of those bands that really never fell off or released a bad studio album. This was a time of tragedy for Plant who had just lost his 5 year old son.
@@oreally8605 Agreed, the hardest thing is to lose a child. But why Christian? He is spiritual and peaceful. There are others ways of nurturing the Creator in us all. :)
@@AzaleaLala Because Christianity is the only way to God. Through Christ Jesus. Historical eye witness accounts. Jesus splits time BC/AD In Christianity there is hope after death. I believe that. 🙏
@@oreally8605 you are wrong, the bible says "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him." It doesn't say P.S except for Catholics, Mormons etc. It doesn't say "must be Christian to qualify" it says you will be saved. The bible also says "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." As far as organized religion goes, a good portion of the book of Revelations is Christ condemning man for putting organized religion above Christ's teachings.
Karac Plant died in 1977, and just a few years later, Zeppelin played this song live in their 1980 European Tour. It's hard to imagine the emotion running thru Robert as he sang this tribute....losing a young son. It's remarkable. Beautiful track.
From the 1979 album, "In Through The Out Door". It was written in honor of Robert Plant's son Karac, 5, who died from a stomach virus during the 1977 tour of North America. This is one of two Zeppelin's songs that Jimmy Page took no part in writing. Slower, sadder song dealing with the loss of his son. Great tune, with great instruments. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Our son was in the Navy In 2014, it was 4:00 AM and we were driving him to his ship which was departing for Japan, it’s new home port. We knew we wouldn’t see him for a year; this song came on the radio and inside I was dying but I held it together.
A tribute song to Robert’s son Karic, passed away so young, when it came out none of us knew what the true meaning was, it’s a true love song to anyone who has ever lost a child
"All My Love" is the sixth song on Led Zeppelin's 1979 album In Through the Out Door. Credited to Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, it is a rock ballad that features a synthesizer solo by Jones. It was written in honour of Plant's son Karac, who died while Led Zeppelin were on their 1977 North American tour.
Everytime my mom hears Robert plants voice she says oh I like his voice who is this I go led Zeppelin she goes I like them , I'm 55 so hearing her say that makes me smile
My mom was not a fan of Led Zeppelin. When she heard The Honeydrippers Sea of Love she asked who is singing. I told her then she warmed up more to Zep. I am 57.
One of my favorite Zeppelin tracks.. my favorite part is the ending.. it really resonates in my head.. Sometimes I get a little bit lonely.. Just a little…
The cool thing here is that no matter who you are, if you spend any time listening to Led Zeppelin, at some point you’ll come to realize you’re listening to genius. Just give them a few spins.
The common misconception about this song is that Plant wrote it *for* his late son. While he laments the loss of his son in this song, Plant is singing it to/for his wife, Maureen. Plant had a very difficult time forgiving himself for being on tour while his son was dying (the seriousness of the infection was misdiagnosed). His grief affected his marriage. This song is Plant telling his wife that she and their marriage are his priority and he is past chasing the feather in the wind (his late son): "Should I fall out of love My fire in the night To chase a feather in the wind?" Also, 'Mothership' is a greatest hits collection. That's why there are so many outstanding songs on the album.
Yes, that's what I've heard. The lyrics make more sense when you consider the song as him reaching out to his wife after they've suffered a loss, wanting to be close to her again.
I was under the same misconception about this being for Karac until a few years ago reading the lyrics. Clearly this is for his wife: "Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time His is the force that lies within Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find He is a feather in the wind, oh"
You listen to this song and other Led Zeppelin songs like No Quarter and tell me that there's a more magical band ever. This song is just straight up beautiful.
This is a song I never get tired of listening to. Jimmy Page caressing those notes with that Fender guitar sweetly crying. John Paul Jones playing an awesome bridge on his Yamaha GX-1, while Bonham anchors that low end driving sound. This song is timeless.
This song was later in their career and different from what people were used to from them but has always been my favourite Led Zeppelin song. A masterpiece.
“THE FEATHER IN THE WIND” is Robert’s 5-year-old son who died while he was touring, causing him to consider dropping out of the band. His wife said no, and he wrote All of My Love instead.
My all time favorite band! My friends and I knew every word of every Led Zep song and blasted Physical Graffitti album on the way to parties every weekend! Ahh the 70’s!!! couldn’t have asked for a better decade to be young!
Hey Guys, Mothership is a compilation album. However their actual studio recordings are so amazing that many of them every single song is legendary top hit quality. No exaggeration. They were that amazing!
Yeh, I thought i might get called out on that, but i hadn't used to word 'organ' in many years so i just let it fly. I play guitar, drums, SOME keyboard.. don't give one sanctimonious orchid about the technical terms of any of them, just the sounds and creativity an individual uses them to produce!
This is from their last album that Zep made and John died about a year later ..It had a strong synth section compared to the earlier stuff ,John Paul Jones deserves a lot of credit for this album ,he went wild on the keyboard ..
I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin for 50 years (I’m 65) and my favorite track by them is probably “In My Time Of Dying” and John Bonham really flexes his muscles on this track. I highly recommend
This album, "In Through The Out Door," because it is the last album featuring John Bonham before his death, is Zeppelin's finest album. Every track is superb!
Robert Plant wrote this song about his son. He developed an infection of some kind and Led Zeppelin was on tour. By the time Robert made it home his son had died.
One of my favorite Zep songs is "The Rain Song." Gorgeous melody, beautiful chord structure, great production... And criminally underrated. You guys should check out "The Rain Song" for more of the softer side of Zeppelin.
It's a beautiful song, but so sad. This (album, In through the out door) was the band's first output after the death of Robert's son a few years earlier. As one of my friends put it, it seemed that they were just getting back to playing together again - then John Bonham died a year or so later, and that was that.
As others have mentioned, mothership is the greatest hits album. The original album was In Through the Out Door and I'll continue to recommend a song I think you guys will love also from this album, Fool in the Rain.
Wife here..One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs since childhood..(Loved the instrumentation )..I didn't really get the meaning as I was so young..(Isn't this about Lead Singer's Robert Plant's Son)??..,His son unfortunately died very very young..A Beautiful Beautiful tribute to him...Soooo Amazing...John Bonham always pure Fire!!!💙❣
The "violin" you referred to is actually synthesizer. I don't remember ever hearing this before. Good song. For something different, check out some almost-funk from Zep named "Trampled Underfoot." Or for something *completely* different, check out the Honeydrippers' "Sea of Love," a remake of a classic 50s ballad but with Robert Plant singing.
This album and more specifically this was the song that was my gateway to Led Zeppelin. I was barely into my teens and being raised in a relatively conservative home I had heard some Zeppelin songs but was off put by the seemingly wild look and sound emanating from the radio when they were played. But this song allowed me to buy my first Zeppelin album and well, from then on Led Zeppelin dominated much of my music listening time. And then I heard Kashmir and that was is, I then bought everything they produced. I will always love this song because it allowed me to discover the power and magic of Led Zeppelin.
A beautiful & sad tribute to Roberts beautiful son, Roberts vocals are still amazing, but I think you can hear & feel his pain. Robert & JPJ wrote this song together, I heard the band was worried about Plant preforming it, I’ll assume especially live. My heart breaks him & family, & anyone who loses a child.
One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs is, "Fool in the Rain!" Another Love song, with nice, unexpected change ups! ❤️ A little longer than normal, but good thru out! 👍
Musically this was John Paul Jones genius on display here!! The music just about entirely created by him, using a brand new state of the art synthesizer - with heartfelt lyrics by Robert Plant. This album was basically a Jones / Plant collaboration. Jimmy Page was battling a heroin addiction & John Bonham an alcohol addiction & both were absent from some of the recording sessions.
This song broke new ground for LZepp. It goes rock to modern to classical to lullabye to country ....etc. Shout out to JPJ mostly.....and John Bonham on skins. They all shine. Radio hit!!
Prince once said that before Led Zeppelin, music was all just black and white and Led Zeppelin delivered colors and light and shade.
If memory serves, this was written for Robert's son that passed away at the age of 5.
So very beautiful !
Geez between Robert and Eric Clapton, so tragic!
@@bkm2797 Keith Richards too.
@@bkm2797 yes, very much so.

Not so sure. I always thought this was dedicated to Plant’s wife. 🤔

His Baby Boy.... 👶 Not a harder thing in the world to lose a child... Idk why The Plants aren't Christian by now.
@@oreally8605 Agreed, the hardest thing is to lose a child. But why Christian? He is spiritual and peaceful. There are others ways of nurturing the Creator in us all. :)

Said it once I'll say it again. Led Zeppelin was the most versatile and best band ever.
The very last song on this record is my favorite Zeppelin song.
I’m gonna crawl. Plant goes off.
Sometimes the chemistry of Led Zeppelin seems magical. There's really no other band I can think of that has that kind of chemistry.
From the 1979 album, "In Through The Out Door". It was written in honor of Robert Plant's son Karac, 5, who died from a stomach virus during the 1977 tour of North America.

The keyboard solo in the middle makes me cry every time I hear it. It never gets old. That’s golden.
JPJ is my musical hero.
No other band were as versatile as Led Zeppelin. Kings of the change up.
“Fool in the Rain”, off In Through the Out Door is a great song. Even the whistle blowing is top notch.
my fav along with Misty Mountain Top!
That samba mid section always gets me shakin'.
One of my all-time favorites, too. John Bonham's drumming is perfection, and so full of joy!
Fool in the Rain, great song with a taste of the new direction Zeppelin was headed, but tragically never saw.
@@marcusanderson6131 yes. this just compounds the loss of Bonzo :' (
"Proud Arianne, one word my will to sustain..." I've always loved that line...
A tribute song to Robert’s son Karic, passed away so young, when it came out none of us knew what the true meaning was, it’s a true love song to anyone who has ever lost a child
Beautiful song from a father to his son
And also to his wife I think
@@heliotropezzz333yeh
Synthesizer solo, is gorgeous, then the guitar adds another layer of greatness. It's Magical.
" He is a feather in he wind. " Heartbreaking. Lots of nods to the Greek myth of the threads of life and the loom and tapestry.
Fool In The Rain is another awesome song from Zeppelin. The drum playing is smooth as hell.
This is one of my favorite LZ songs and it's very underrated. The keyboard solo by John is fantastic.
Led Zeppelin is just incredible!!!

He does include the line 'All of my love to you child'. I think it's for both of them.
Great summation. 👍
@@heliotropezzz333 I was just about to comment the same thing. 👍🏽
From the Led Zeppelin II album “Thank You” is also a very nice song.
Phenomenal band, which built many great memories. Thanx so much, Take care, Peace
My absolute favorite Led Zeppelin song. Close second is Ramble On. The emotion in the vocals gets me every time.
Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, does it for me.
You listen to this song and other Led Zeppelin songs like No Quarter and tell me that there's a more magical band ever. This song is just straight up beautiful.
This is my favorite Zeppelin song, hands down. Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics
This is a song I never get tired of listening to. Jimmy Page caressing those notes with that Fender guitar sweetly crying. John Paul Jones playing an awesome bridge on his Yamaha GX-1, while Bonham anchors that low end driving sound. This song is timeless.

A very beautiful tribute song to his young son who passed on. Love your kids with all you have.
One of the most epic Led Zeppelin songs on the order of Kashmir and When the Levee Breaks you must do In the Evening off In Through the Out Door.
How hard would this song be for Robert Plant to play after such a tragic loss.
“THE FEATHER IN THE WIND” is Robert’s 5-year-old son who died while he was touring, causing him to consider dropping out of the band. His wife said no, and he wrote All of My Love instead.

Hey Guys, Mothership is a compilation album. However their actual studio recordings are so amazing that many of them every single song is legendary top hit quality. No exaggeration. They were that amazing!
Exactly. You’ll get essential Zep on this great compilation but not the other great songs that didn’t make the cut.
As much as I love this, Thank you is my all time favorite.
Lovely song. Sad too…a tribute to Robert Plant’s son, who died tragically during Zep’s 1977 tour…..RIP Karac Plant 🤘🏽😞🤘🏽
You guys must listen to led zeppelin's THANK YOU if you want to hear the most beautiful song from LED ZEPPELIN love you guys, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful song about his son. You can hear the emotion in Plant's voice about his passing.
IMHO, Led Zeppelin is thee best rock band ever !!!! I only wish I could have seen them in concert.
tbis song was written for robert's son... he recorded this in one take. That's all he could give. What a treasure to listen to.
I love this one, particularly the organ solo by John Paul Jones
Sorry. There is no "organ" solo. There is no organ anywhere on this track. It is all synthesizer using string and brass-like patches.
it's a synth but yeah it really amplifies the... Melancholy, I'd say
Yeh, I thought i might get called out on that, but i hadn't used to word 'organ' in many years so i just let it fly. I play guitar, drums, SOME keyboard.. don't give one sanctimonious orchid about the technical terms of any of them, just the sounds and creativity an individual uses them to produce!
This song’s like a smooth and scenic ride in a jet.
Mothership is basically their greatest hits
this was realy a farewell to the zep we all grew up with in a beautifull way i might add
Led Zeppelin is just great. Not a boring or bad song in their inventory.
This is from their last album that Zep made and John died about a year later ..It had a strong synth section compared to the earlier stuff ,John Paul Jones deserves a lot of credit for this album ,he went wild on the keyboard ..
Mothership is a career retrospective, released long after they disbanded
I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin for 50 years (I’m 65) and my favorite track by them is probably “In My Time Of Dying” and John Bonham really flexes his muscles on this track. I highly recommend
Bonzo is awesome. One of my favorites. "Fool in the Rain", "The Ocean", "D'yer Mak'er"....can't go wrong with Zep.
Led Zeppelin plays all genres, it's a perfect mix
This album, "In Through The Out Door," because it is the last album featuring John Bonham before his death, is Zeppelin's finest album. Every track is superb!
What a pure Love song. This one gets to me, really makes you feel for Robert Plant. He never forgave himself for being on tour when his son died.
One of my favorite Led jams...
That’s what you call a perfect song.
First time hearing this. What a beautiful song in honor of his song.

Hey, I'll take correction from @paulcwalina7910 below. Cheers Paul
My favorite Zeppelin song, I've always loved it
Untouchable no matter the song or delivery style,
Led Zeppelin are the GOATs
Great pick. Never go wrong with Led Zeppelin
U have to listen the ballad "Sea of love", with the Plant's post-Led band (Honeydrippers), it's so emotional ...
As others have mentioned, mothership is the greatest hits album. The original album was In Through the Out Door and I'll continue to recommend a song I think you guys will love also from this album, Fool in the Rain.
You are correct. This song is for his son, who passed away when he was 5.
mothership is just a greatest hits album released years after the band dissolved
Thanks! I came here to clarify that. Of course most of their albums are pretty close to perfect anyway but this is the cream of the crop….

It’s the GOATS!! Thx guys for rockin us out!!
Oh, what a beautiful memory! We were alive then.
I forgot how much I used to listen to them!!! Thanks for bringing memories back!❤
Zeppelin III was my favorite 😂 I loved them all
You can't go wrong with Led Zeppelin ! Thank ya'll
Mothership is a compilation album or "best of" album 👍
Mi canción favorita de Led Zeppelin.
Pure poetry my favorite zeppelin song

OMG - absolutely love this song - thanks for reacting ❤
'i'm gonna crawl' from the same album.
Have you done Kashmir yet by Zeppelin? It’s an awesome song. My class n school called it the number one make out song of 1982
This song is so deep, I could listen to it on repeat for hours💕
All My Love to you lost child...so sad but still my all time favorite Zep tune~~
Musically this was John Paul Jones genius on display here!! The music just about entirely created by him, using a brand new state of the art synthesizer - with heartfelt lyrics by Robert Plant. This album was basically a Jones / Plant collaboration. Jimmy Page was battling a heroin addiction & John Bonham an alcohol addiction & both were absent from some of the recording sessions.
I Love this song "All Of My Love this" Led Zeppelin is the Greatest!!!
This song broke new ground for LZepp.
It goes rock to modern to classical to lullabye to country ....etc. Shout out to JPJ mostly.....and John Bonham on skins. They all shine. Radio hit!!
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Going To California" and Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)"!!!
John Bonham’s drummer is so solid , big powerful and so nice , such a huge influence. I’m sure the meaning of the song has been touched on by others.
One of my favorite LZ songs. That bridge makes me imagine flying above the clouds.
OMG! When the Levee Breaks has always been my favorite of their's!
The end brings me to tears almost every time!
Both you guys are so much fun. Bless you both and your family.
