I,m originally from Libya, this is basically one of the first songs that got me into the western music and culture. and Robert plant's voice is just musical instrument itself. I love him. this song always remindes me of the Mediterranean Sea. as I heard it back in the early nineties on a cassette during the lovely summertime. my older brother borrowed this cassette from a friend who bought it from Malta, which was one of the few sources of buying cassettes for Libyans at that time. unbelievable. oh yea also John mile's song "music", another story to tell. whish you make a video about it as well. thank you I loved your presentation , it is genuine
I developed this habit to wear headphones and listen to random music while sleeping. It's a kind of unique experience, going through dreams while listening to calm music. I listen to hundreds of songs while sleeping but when for the First time I heard this song was perhaps a couple of months ago and around 3:00 AM, it woke me up with a ton of emotions and right away I saved it for listening in the future. Magical song. ❤
My favourite Robert Plant solo song - hypnotic relaxing melody, more mature vocals but still unmistakably still very sublime. If I ranked it among my favorite Zeppelin songs it would come in somewhere between 10-15, possibly slightly higher
I grew up with Led Zeppelin on the radio, of course, but THIS was the song that made my eyes pop open wide when I first heard it. Dreamy, romantic, lovely in a way that now reminds me of Roxy Music. Wonderful - thanks for the reaction, Harri! I hadn't heard this song in YEARS.
Just subscribed. Few reactors check out Plants' solo work. I was too young to be familiar with Zeppelin when it disbanded(born in 1978). I was a fan of his solo work before I even realized he was Led Zeppelins' singer. A few of his fantastic songs, that are often under-looked are I Believe( a tribute to his son who passed when he was young), and a great song for listening to while driving, Tye Dye on the Highway(song about Woodstock). Now and Zen album was his biggest solo success. Tall Cool One and Ship of Fools are great songs.
I'm with Cynthia, Imadrummin, this is a great song! With the sad end of Zeppelin, I was so psyched when Robert launched his solo career with, _Pictures at Eleven,_ and then this terrific follow-up LP. Thanks for the memory lane trip.
Beautiful song from The Principle of the Moments from 1983. Robert's voice preaches of the longing for a lost love while driving, pondering resting for a while or considering carrying on to the journey's end. The guitars are so haunting and escalate the dimensions of the lyrics. Just a masterpiece by solo Robert. He produced a number of great tunes on this album to use while going on tour, as he didn't want to play all Zeppelin's songs. Glad you loved it Harri. Thanks Harri and Imadrummin. Beautiful memory. 👍 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
This song came out in 1983, I remember that clearly as it is one of the background songs to the first summer I spent with my now husband. It is so evocative, glad you love it too. 😀
"SEA OF LOVE" is something special...! (among others) Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers(Bad Company vocalist) had a band, The Firm... "SATIFACTION GAURANTEED" is something special as well..!!!
Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to a winter night at university, when I had come back to the dorm from a frat party. It was late, I'd had an ok time at the party, but no luck, and I looked out the window at the snow swirling in the streetlight while this song played on the radio. To this day, this song captures the perfect melancholy of love not realized, of somewhere down the road, and the snow swirling in a distant cone of light.
I believe Phil Collins is playing drums on this. This song has a strong memory with it for me. When I was in junior high and high school, our church youth group went to Kansas City, about four hours away, every year. Our youth leader had family there, and sometimes we would stay in the homes of their church folks. Other times we would stay in dorms at the American Baptist seminary on the Kansas side. One of those times, it was in the midst of a heat wave, and the dorms were not air conditioned, so the rooms were absolutely stifling. Opening the windows didn't really help because the air was still and the humidity was high. It took a long time before I could sleep. Early in the morning, a thunderstorm broke the heat, and it was still raining moderately when the alarm went off. In another room, somebody's radio was playing this song. Every time I hear it, I'm immediately in that room, waking up to rain and Robert Plant.
Ahhhh. My favorite Robert Plant song. So mellow. So enchanting. This and Time by The Alan Parsons Project are both number one for me as far as mellow, enchanting and chill goes. Happy to see you enjoy it Harri 😊
@@JohnBarrylizard No problem. Time is a song that will make a person emotional. Very deep. You might also like their song Eye in the sky. You might have heard it. Was played fairly often on the radio in the eighties.
@@JohnBarrylizard One time my son's cousin was visiting and I played Time and he was like what the hell are you listening to? I said it's called MUSIC 🎶 I think some people have no soul.
My favorite Plant solo tune. It takes you there, wherever "there" is. I've always interpreted the meaning to be his love for adventure & his life on the road. The accompanying music video gives me that vibe.
Yes. Exactly. Back in those years I used to listen to this on the road back to my destination. Smooth sound of the guitar & bass & Plant's voice. Loved the tune.
Liking your onesie (don't deny that's what it is). Saw RP @ Wembley Arena with The Honeydrippers as guests. Mad really - as he was the front man for both bands. Hope he got a drinks break. 🤭
This was where he hit his post-Zep stride. Plant couldn't have done a bigger 180 from Zeppelin and he succeeded incredibly well in carving out his own sound. Pictures at Eleven had some good moments, but The Principle of Moments is the superior album and "Big Log" is so moody and evocative. And no one ever mentions Robbie Blunt but he was perfect for this period.
I remember that song when i saw him at the Forum of M ontreal in 1983 ! if i remember right ! And at my great surprise I discovered that the show i was at in 1983 is actually on TH-cam ! LoL🥴So please when you have an hour free to watch that ! it s not a good quality but it s still hot ! That was his first solo tour after Zeppelin ! you want the cherry on the sunday ? watch the show and guess who was the drummer ? I was there and never new who was the drummer till i saw it on TH-cam 38 years later ! 😂🤣😂So type in ( Robert Plant in Montreal 1983 ) and give me your comment ? ! thanks and you re welcome
Ima - This was a great submission by one of my favorite artists, Robert Plant. This song is on one of my 'Favorites' Playlists and is an excellent night drive tune. Harri, your in-depth and informative review was superb. Great stuff!!!!
This is a prime example of how having such a legendary background and catalog in your bio before you release a solo album hurts you. If ANYONE else had recorded this it would be hailed as a an alltime classic . Instead, it’s just a song released by Robert Plant. One of the best songs he ever did IMHO.
I love how the smile creeps up on Harri's face when the guitar hook plays.... yeah, the harmonies are wonderful; some remind me of Van Halen's fantastic "In A Simple Rhyme" from a few years before. Yeah, this song is unique, and even though not the style I sought after back then, it stuck in my psyche as a beautiful piece, transcendant. Gorgeous, Sumptuous work...
I saw Plant in the late 1980s at Hamilton Place in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He put on a great show. Joan Jett was the opening act. This is probably my favourite Plant solo song. That guitar is so sweet, smooth and melodic with a hint of Latin/Spanish in its sound. I don't like synth drums but it works here. Plant's first two solo albums are superb.
Wow, the songs we forget about until we hear them.again. Thanks Harri Maybe you can start adding the lyrics? A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum would be a good reaction for you to do. Recorded in 1967 but the lead singer Gary Brooker sang it in concert with the Denmark Symphony Orchestra in 2006. It's fabulous.
I remember hearing this growing up,then probably ten to fifteen years ago I heard it and was like wow 😳 this is absolutely beautiful. Had to find out who it was and the name of it. Didn't surprise me it's Robert Plant,but the name surprised me!
This song isn't bad actually but mainly it's the music. Jimmy should have gotten someone who could sing the Blues. I could listen to LZ music without Plant's voice.
@@alphajava761 I will admit that one of the reasons I am not a big LZ fan is because many of their songs involve Plant's screaming type singing. As a much more subdued vocal appropriate to its vibe, I rather like him on this song.
@@donw804 Robert Plant has a less shrill voice on his first three or four solo albums from the 80s and I too admit that I prefer him in this register.😉
This is one of my top two favorite songs. The other being In the Air Tonight. Interestingly, Phil Collins played drums on this album. However, the liner notes don't specifically say he played on this. I've always figured it was a drum machine, but I have seen an apparent live performance where there is a drummer. I agree this is a great driving tune. It could have been used in that scene from Miami Vice that has In the Air Tonight playing as they drive through the night. I love this song so much! It reminds me of my prom because I finally bought the album around that time and I was listening to it over and over. I wish I didn't have to wait the decades away to finally find the lyrics on the internet. Thanks for this. I think it a very underestimated song. Cheers.
C/P Plant's lyrics were often influenced by the books of J.R.R. Tolkien. "Big Log" is a mythical, extended metaphor for a lost love: "My love is in league with the freeway... My love is the miles and the waiting." A "big log" is common lingo of tractor trailer drivers. It is the book in which their road hours are logged, therefore the connection between the road and love and the countless hours we all log on both. >>
@@betseyr.9081 now I can relate! I'm 64 and I grew up with all this great music but never paid close attention to the words. That's one thing I love about these reactions. Keep on Truckin'! ☮
I didn't like early Zeppelin that much. Of course, 4 had a lot of great songs, my favorite, Rock and Roll. I picked them up again with Presence and In Through the Out Door. But it was Plant's solo career that kept me interested. This song, In the Mood, Little by Little, Tall Cool One, Hurting Kind, 29 Palms.... Then I liked Mighty Arranger and Band of Joy a lot. Plant's solo songs have me going back to Zeppelin.
I loved this song since I first heard it on the radio back in the day. Funny thing was, i couldn't find it in the record store. The title makes no sense. I kept trying to mouth parts of the lyrics to come up with some phrase that might be the title, and then I'd read all the tracks on the album cover... nothing even close.
@@betseyr.9081 Yeah, I get it, but the point was I couldn't find the song after hearing it on the radio (pre-internet days) because usually song titles had some correlation to the lyrics at some point. Not this song.
@@albertsmith9315 Hearing what you are saying. Got the album back then after hearing this on the radio, remember one of the FM DJ’s in NYC making a point of calling out the title after everyone one was calling in to ask, if he hadn’t done that I would have been in that boat with you. Best cruising song in history, we had a Pontiac Fiero back then with a killer stereo system, way too many speeding tickets racked up listening to this song.

Exquisite guitar playing by Robbie Blunt. Beautiful song.
This is a 'goosebumps' song, and has been for me since I heard when it was first released.
Love this song by Robert , his voice just flows right through every note. What an artist !
I,m originally from Libya, this is basically one of the first songs that got me into the western music and culture. and Robert plant's voice is just musical instrument itself.

I developed this habit to wear headphones and listen to random music while sleeping.
It's a kind of unique experience, going through dreams while listening to calm music.

Magical song. ❤
This song has such a transcendent rhythm that never lets you go
Solo..."In The Mood" this one...and "Ship Of Fools" are all beautiful!
My favourite Robert Plant solo song - hypnotic relaxing melody, more mature vocals but still unmistakably still very sublime. If I ranked it among my favorite Zeppelin songs it would come in somewhere between 10-15, possibly slightly higher
Its almost like the guitar and Roberts voice are one its absolutely a breath taking song
"In The Mood" has got some hard drivin drums you would enjoy.
Phil Collins played drums on that song! 😊
Very organic response to a great song. Well done.
Ya, it doesn't get a lot better than this.
Plant could sing the daily news and I'd be happy.
Well, he’s definitely adept at the blues.
Robbie Blunts guitar work on this album is sublime. Very clean tone and only playing with great taste. Really dig this song & album.
Thanks.. I was wondering who that was… I was about to look it up.
Great song for a drive down the coast or across desert to Vegas.🎤🎶🎵🎤🎶🎵🎤🎸🎵🎶🎸🎵
That guitar gives me chills. It's beautiful.
I always like the vibe of this song, that 80s vibe
I grew up with Led Zeppelin on the radio, of course, but THIS was the song that made my eyes pop open wide when I first heard it. Dreamy, romantic, lovely in a way that now reminds me of Roxy Music. Wonderful - thanks for the reaction, Harri! I hadn't heard this song in YEARS.

Sea of Love was by his group called “The Honeydrippers”. It was originally recorded by Phil Phillips in 1959
Very nice song. So calm
I’m seeing Robert Plant in concert for the 5th time this coming August. He is an amazing musical genius!
Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to a winter night at university, when I had come back to the dorm from a frat party.

Already on my playlist. I wanna see what the community says.
Besides the Zep stuff, Ship of Fools is some very good Mr Plant
Ya your right on that 1 bro...everything's smooth on this track. From the guitar 2 the vocals. My favorite Robert solo song. 😎👍🏽
❤❤❤ 1983!!! Heavily played on MTV
Has it been that long?

No drums on this track. Only drum machine ! (a Roland TR-808 in this case😉)

You have great analysis.

Always learn your history , The singer of Led Zeppelin / They where great, Robert made his BEST after , He found his self for real.
Love this
Went to see this tour way back when .. Great show
Liking your onesie (don't deny that's what it is). Saw RP @ Wembley Arena with The Honeydrippers as guests. Mad really - as he was the front man for both bands. Hope he got a drinks break. 🤭
This song has a meloncoly sound and I've loved this song since a young teen
Robert Plant’s first two solo albums (Pictures at Eleven and The Principle of Moments) are all killer, no filler 🔥
Fate of Nations is even better, 29 Palms is probably his best song.
Been ages since I heard this but I just love Robert Plant. 💞
This song has happened to be the soundtrack for a couple events in my life, whenever I hear it Takes me back in time.
This was where he hit his post-Zep stride. Plant couldn't have done a bigger 180 from Zeppelin and he succeeded incredibly well in carving out his own sound. Pictures at Eleven had some good moments, but The Principle of Moments is the superior album and "Big Log" is so moody and evocative. And no one ever mentions Robbie Blunt but he was perfect for this period.
I used to loathe this song back in the days. Now I love it.
If you like this song from Robert Plant, you will absolutely love 29 Palms.
My favorite Plant solo song.
Fate of Nations is his best album
Melancholic wanderlust defined in music. This is one of my all-time favorites, whether driving or sitting still. Thanks!
I've always liked this song. It's just so pretty and the sense of longing is palpable.
One of my favorit songs by Robert Plant. Suggestion another amazing song

Pretty cool song. Love your imagery, Harri
Indeed a fantastic song
Fantastic, thoughtful reaction. Thanks.
I think you'd really like his song 'Heaven Knows' since you love this one.
To me, it feels like Robert is singing with his shoulders relaxed & back with his chest open and deep breathing.
The beautiful chord changes get to you. Like Steely Dan.
Love the clap with the kick, along with the guitar it sounds really cool! Lol as I was typing this you literally said the same thing!

Neil Peart birthplace?
@@markusantonio4866 Markus, I always thought Neil was born in St. Catharines, Ontario but, yes, he was born in Hamilton and grew up in St. Catharines.
How can this be the first time he has heard Big Log??? He misses the point, a road song mixed with love. One of my top favorites.
Love the spanish guitar.
Phil Collins plays the drums on The Principle of Moments album. Great stuff
Wonderful song so peacful and melodic. That guitar solo at 3:47 is so western to me.

Hi Harri . A saying i first heard by Brian Johnston , Lead singer with AC-DC . Hes voice is as smooth as a gravy sandwich
How did we loose this kind of music?
😊😊😊🖖🏼
Great album. A friend gave it to me for a birthday present (that I still use).
Anything can create good music, it’s really just a question of your honesty… as Geddy Lee sang.
Am I the only one that heard "happy together"?
And ‘Chrystal Blue Persuasion’ as a bridge.
Another great song off this album is "In The Mood"
I'm in the mood and ship of fools both by Robert Plant and they are AMAZONG.
I went thru all the comments. Only one mentioned HAPPY TOGETHER. In the middle you get a little riff of CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION.

Most amazing part is the guitar parts are finger played with no pick
Please listen to Robert Plant´s version of "Song to a Siren".
As a trucker in so cal it keeps me sane and claim. #latrafficsucks
