Yep. I was 10 in 1980. Started playing drums in 1982. Found Led Zeppelin and THC in 1983. Found Jimi and LSD in 1986. Moved out and got my own place, found Miles, Parker and Coltrane in 1987. 1988........Cocaine is a hell of a drug!!!! Still kicking and searching songs from the 80's in 2023!
From a 50 yr old trying to figure it out still, i do know we in the moment have the ability to change. One minute, one hour, one day, one face at a time.
@hueybomb2016 - well observed. Tribes are too easy to break apart - e.g. it just takes a few bad-faith actors among our rulers, and it's broken. The togetherness experiment has been tried in several places across the world - & it is a terrible failure.
Same here,buddy.we are so blessed to have grown up through such an innocent era. What i wouldn't give to go back there. I was a junior in high school when this tune was released. Liquid harmony this tune is.🌹💖
@maureenmartini5094 i mean rampant hiv/aids, the cold war, profligation of terrorists, people dying of starvation in record numbers, the lack of advances in general medicine, cars getting 4 miles per gallon, the literal holes in the ozone layer, no cell phones, an overall difficulty for black people and women to find equality of any kind, and i general a higher violent crime rate across the board for most of the planet.... ... but boy it had some cool songs here and there! Put your rose tinted goggles down, the 80s sucked lol. Your nostalgia doesnt make it better
Such an awesome tune, as so much of Plant is from this era. But I respectfully disagree about it being ahead of its time. It is very much of its time, brings me right back there every time I hear it, as does Big Log, Little by Little, Tall Cool One, Ship of Fools...All these and more were beloved in their time, I can remember as if it were yesterday, damn where'd those days go...
As an 80s metalhead, simply one of the best songs every recorded. The solo, the vocals, the drums, the snap of the snare, the crispness of the cymbals, the clarity and funk of the bass, the guitar tone, the chorus, the backing vocals, the esoteric keys at the end. There's just some songs it's just kind of hard to imagine what the world would be without an artist getting an amazing band and making it a reality.
As a fellow metalhead of the same era, I liked plant's solo work right out of the gate. None of my friends liked it, calling him a sellout. I knew then that actual adulthood for me was right around the corner.
When music was real and had soul. It spoke to me when I first listened to it forty years ago and still does today. Thank you Robert Plant. May your music live forever.
I know this is an 80's song, but one of my fondest memories of this song was driving through some isolated territory in Arizona with this song on the radio, the windows rolled down, watching the sun go down, and just "being".
The guitar sends you into a trance to hide the fact that there are no lyrics. He repeats every line 4 times. The Beastie Boys think that's too repetitive.
I know it. I see time slipping away every year and I just feel magical Everytime I get to sipping on a martini and reminiscing! Live Ya wherever and wherever you are. Brandon 49
Ozzy chose randy rhoads as his guitarist/writing partner after being fired from black sabbath. Robert plant chose robbie blunt as his 5:20 guitarist/ writing partner after led zeppelin. Both guitarists are criminally underated and made their singer even bigger and better. Ozzy and robert both received miracles in employing these two.
ROBERT PLANT, if you read this, I want to THANK YOU for your music, both solo and Led Zeppelin. I am a black old school music lover. My 3 closest friends in high school were also black. This was early 80s. In the 9th grade we all were Led Zeppelin fans. Our school was 95% black. In the 9th, people thought we were weird for listening to Led Zeppelin. By our senior year, we had the whole damn school into Led Zeppelin! Our school marching unit even played Cashmir! One of my favorite clips of you and Jimmy Page is in the movie THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME when you all are playing the feedback, your voice and Jimmy with the violin bow, just ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! I gotta hear that now!
This is one of many reasons why MTV was so damn good in the 80's - Why the channel was so successful. Because of brilliant videos like this. There was a time when a lot of thought went into creating videos...ahhh, those were the days...
thee4thdoctor I remember MTV actually playing ONLY music videos 24/7. As a family we would watch videos for hours on end. MTV sucks now!!! On X-mas we would have it on MTV all day.
I completely agree with your statement. I am also impressed by the fact that you use the 4th doctor as your logo. For me, David Baker will always be "The Doctor".
I remember summer days by the pool . Nights at the forrest preserve drinking Southern comfort and being so in love ...this was a soundtrack for that summer ...
Oh gosh, I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that feels this way! It really is an amazing song that's NOTHING like what's made today. I truly enjoy BLASTING this whenever I have the chance!
Only Robert Plant can deliver the memories of that time and era with his melodies that made your mind and soul dance freely worry free,thank you Robert for the music that still stands out and plays thru the walls of the human mind.
I was 19 years old in 1989....I worked on an asphalt crew paving roads all over central Florida...i was so young and free... This song takes me back to those days....those were the best days of my life....
John Rambo That's nice. This song, from the album,"The Principle of Moments", came out in 1983, when I was 17, and I used to play this song over and over!
True, and it's sad. Zeppelin will always be one of my favorites. It seems like a lot of people wanted Plant to somehow keep making material that was a rehash of what he'd already done with Zeppelin. Kind of how some people seemed to find Johnny Rotten's transition from Sex Pistols to PIL to be too jarring.
The first time I heard this, I was like 12. Just loved it. Radio announced, "There's Robert Plant w In The Mood." Early 90's. Asked my brother, who Robert Plant was...Told me he was the frontman of Led Zeppelin. The stars aligned and I've been lost in love ever since....🍃
I saw Robert in Las Vegas in the early 1990’s on his Fate of Nations tour. I believe he performed this great tune that night. He joked about the fact that the large sign outside the building had his name listed below Englebert Humperdinck’s name. Being the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, he thought that was hilarious. The audience agreed. Robert should have had top billing.
This song makes me recall so much from my childhood. My mom having the radio in the kitchen tuned to KY102 in the mornings while my family got around. This song always put me in a good mood:) I'm 44 this year and I lost my mom 3 years ago and my brother last year, but this song is still just as soothing to my soul as it ever was in childhood.
I like how you honor their memory. I also honor lost loved ones in similar ways. When you're a music lover and it flows through your veins it's hard not to feel most of your emotions through music. Grief being one of them.
Man, I must have seen this a million times on MTV when it came out. And that was just the first month! 😂 Needless to say, they played the hell out of it.
I've been hearing this a lot on the radio lately. I've never heard it before. I thought it was a new song, so I looked it up and I was very surprised to see that this is a Robert Plant song... from the 80s.
To say that this song was ahead of its time is a understatement. Wonderfully composed. Well written. The guitar work on this melody is phenomenal. One of my favorite songs.
I Remember Watching This Video On “MTV In 1983”! I Was In The 10th Grade! Serious Nostalgia! Los Angeles Was A Different Place Back Then! The Then Los Angeles Raiders Were Kicking Arse! The Los Angeles Lakers Were The O.G. Showtime! And Great Music Like This Ruled 👌💯😎!
One of Robert’s best songs so gorgeous and ethereal it never ever sounds old or loses its luster, even after all these years always fresh and inspiring and makes me - happy 😘 Bassist Paul Martinez, guitarist Robbie Blunt, drummer Phil Collins; Robert always has the most talented musicians surrounding him… 🫶❤️🫶
@@williamwilson6499we were just young and didn't have the worries of being an adult yet. To me the 80's were a great time to be a kid...I'm 52 now and I wish I could go back
I play drums…HUGE Bonham fan…anyway, inwas listening to Liquid Metal on SiriusXM and i heard a member of a band speak about the song i was aboot to hear…”We are a violent band playing violent music for violent people…” and i changed it. I served in the Marines and know violence more than i would ever wish on anyone. This guy and his music traveled the world with me. Those bangs kick ass too… have a great one, brothers and sisters!!
My two favorite Robert Plant solo songs: In the Mood and The Big Log! Both on the first album post LED ZEPPELIN: The Principle of Moments! The Principle of Moments is my favorite Robert Plant solo album!
Judy Thorpe Your husband Jim Thorpe is the man, gender is Blount & Gentle, your the half grail no Sir Robisit..Thorpe is so funny and great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was born in 74, I was fortunate to have had a family that was of led zeppelin era and so as I grew up my home was always playing led zeppelin as others from late 60s and 70s and so as I got older through the 80s with Robert going solo my mom played his albums and you could hear it all through the house as she was humming and singing along while getting ready for work....she's gone now but I thank her for raising me to this music 💓
Sorry for your loss. I can totally relate as I was born in 71 and brought up the same with great music we are definitely the lucky ones to grow up in the best era for great music. May your life be full of happiness and great vibes my friend
This song has a nostalgic, slightly melancholy feel. I was only 6 when it came out. One of the songs that characterizes my childhood and the 80s in general for me, for sure.
I can never listen to this song just once. It evokes so much from the depth of soul, especially that almost silent, pregnant moment where the song climaxes.
My favorite Robert Plant song. It's just so good even several decades later. It's one of those songs that you think can only be accomplished by a band with 10 years behind them, but most of these guys are session musicians! And we all know session musicians rarely get any credit! The guitar work from Robbie Blunt at 2:20 is outstanding. Then, if that wasn't enough.... at 3:06 some wonderful synchronized music here with synth, bass and drums. Works so well together punchy bass from Paul Martinez smooth synth lines from Gerald Woodroffe and last but certainly not least the multi-talented Phil Collins on drums. So glad we didn't lose Robert to addiction, suicide, etc. Led Zep was excellent and then he kept going! He's still recording these days at age 71! That is my definition of Rock star hero!
the peak of rock and roll was 70s&80s man these songs are real music that gripped our generation and made all of us legends when we would lean up on the front fender of a 78 Buick catalina and jam the factory speakers the fuck out just jamming all night drinking beer outta a card board box filled with ice and smoking some badass weed all joints back then and bongs fuuuuck those were the days man ✌🤘🖕👍
Lifer CFH I’m not disagreeing with you or disrespecting your opinion but at the time this album came out, I used to hear people criticizing 80s music for not having any meaning. I didn’t agree with them but I chuckled when I saw your comment just because of how opinions have changed since then. Rock on.
Do you know that Mr Plant went to the deep deep South and studied our "Blues". He has always been in love with the blues and it definitely shows. Go back and really listen to Led Zeppelin and you can hear those blues in almost every song they wrote and did. Wonderful! They were and still are the best. Robert Plant still is. I've only loved him since 1969. Everyone wanted and tried to sound like him. No one ever could! He is one of a kind and the best! Thank you for your talent! Love and peace...
Time and time again I've caught myself gazing into a starry sky, with this song and many other special songs from my childhood. I always seem to end up asking the same question...why can't we just go back?
Pop-locking + Break-dancing + Robert Plant + Phil Collins = A masterpiece. I'm sure Mr. Plant could already start to see that even in it's fledgling state, there was something about hip-hop that was interesting and exciting that was never seen or heard before.

Thanks for shaping my teenage life in the 80s Mr. Plant. This song still means so much to me in many ways. Thank you
you are keeping too much distance from the love we have to give you what gives
This song takes me back to the most fun times in life

The drummer on this all-time classic track and all-time classic album is none other than Phil Collins 🥁
He sounded fantastic here too.
Dang, that's right! Forgot about that. Kind of odd that he doesn't appear in the video.
Imagine that!! I should have known that but I didn’t, so thank you for that 🙏!!
What an time period. I know things weren’t perfect but boy were they so much simpler.
Wow didn't know! Awesome. Collins is a true legend too
this song has a zen quality i have always enjoyed.
Thus the album 'Now And Zen' which includes this ethereal track❤..
@@Cablecol No....................the album this is from is called The Principle of Moments. Now and Zen came out 5 years later.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

glad 10 of you get it! There is some hope.
oh yeah- it should be just 'its'

Ahh the early days of MTV. The videos weren't high tech, but the music was amazing! Always loved this one.
So IMAZING! That is Absolutely Beautiully sung.The one and only Robert Plant.Couldn't get no better❤❤❤❤❤
THIS IS A MUSICAL MASTERPIECE. AN INCREDIBLE SONG. ONE OF A KIND. VERY SOPHISTICATED.
No one ever mentions the clever filming at the beginning of this video with the triangles. Very low-budget effect (basically free) that looks awesome.
Best rock singer of all time.
This song makes me recall so much from my childhood. My mom having the radio in the kitchen tuned to KY102 in the mornings while my family got around. This song always put me in a good mood:) I'm 44 this year and I lost my mom 3 years ago and my brother last year, but this song is still just as soothing to my soul as it ever was in childhood.
Thanks for liking and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love ❤️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
I like how you honor their memory. I also honor lost loved ones in similar ways. When you're a music lover and it flows through your veins it's hard not to feel most of your emotions through music. Grief being one of them.
I graduated in 1985,I remember this song hitting my eardrums in the fall of 1983.i changed.i do not know how to put it into words,music is so powerful
Y102 out of Reading Pa?
@@robertsouden1388 No, KC, MO
Like a fine wine, this song just gets better with age. Also great to hear my main man, Phil Collins, on the kickass drums.
The Birth of MTV was nurtured by these artists ✊ 1983.
Couldn't wait to see what's on.
Thank you Robert Plant for this brilliant, romantic and classy masterpiece!! Just as beautiful now as the first time I ever heard it many years ago!
Life was good. Had no money, but I was happy and great family and friends
No cell phones. Yeah
Yep, I had no money, but I had lots of hope for the future.
This song has such a mystical quality to it. Speaking as a woman, it literally melts me. So romantic.
Me too....I'm in the mood
i'm in the moon. sounds like that's what he is saying hauntingly.
Christine Farrier I played this at my wedding while the guests were being seated.
Christine Farrier Robert should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist
Don't listen to Big Log then. Shit'll turn your melted pool to steam.
Man, I must have seen this a million times on MTV when it came out. And that was just the first month! 😂 Needless to say, they played the hell out of it.
I've been hearing this a lot on the radio lately. I've never heard it before. I thought it was a new song, so I looked it up and I was very surprised to see that this is a Robert Plant song... from the 80s.
That’s awesome to hear but strange, I haven’t heard this played on commercial radio in probably 20+ years.
@@scotttrucano584 Oddly, I heard it at least once a day for about a month, but I haven't heard it played once in the last two months.
Can we all just go back to the 80s...simpler time....people got along for the most part....and the music kick a$$!!!
i wouldn't mind some thicker hair and my 280ZX......
Before being treated like terrorists at the airport...it's de humanizing... programming to accept intrusions on personal space and privacy
not simpler times. just that you were young
To say that this song was ahead of its time is a understatement. Wonderfully composed. Well written. The guitar work on this melody is phenomenal. One of my favorite songs.
Understatement, damn so creative in comparision to the herd sheeple favorite being underrated.
Nuts! Childlike Guitar. Childlike Song. INCEL MUSIC! These Songs MUST Be Banned.
Plant Plays To Incels!
Arrest The B!!!
I Remember Watching This Video On “MTV In 1983”!
I Was In The 10th Grade!
Serious Nostalgia!
Los Angeles Was A Different Place Back Then!
The Then Los Angeles Raiders Were Kicking Arse!
The Los Angeles Lakers Were The O.G. Showtime!
And Great Music Like This Ruled 👌💯😎!
One of Robert’s best songs so gorgeous and ethereal it never ever sounds old or loses its luster, even after all these years always fresh and inspiring and makes me - happy 😘
Bassist Paul Martinez, guitarist Robbie Blunt, drummer Phil Collins; Robert always has the most talented musicians surrounding him…
🫶❤️🫶
Robert plant is a music genius, god bless you brother👍⚘
Great times to be alive..Best music 60's, 70's, 80's...Life was simple.People were happy.
I guess you weren’t alive then.
@@williamwilson6499we were just young and didn't have the worries of being an adult yet. To me the 80's were a great time to be a kid...I'm 52 now and I wish I could go back
I play drums…HUGE Bonham fan…anyway, inwas listening to Liquid Metal on SiriusXM and i heard a member of a band speak about the song i was aboot to hear…”We are a violent band playing violent music for violent people…” and i changed it. I served in the Marines and know violence more than i would ever wish on anyone. This guy and his music traveled the world with me. Those bangs kick ass too… have a great one, brothers and sisters!!
64 and still rocking to the 80s music. Was greatest days of my life ❤️
Robert Plant is so brilliant! This song is hauntingly beautiful. I just adore everything he does, from Zeppelin to the present day. Just LOVE him!🌱🍃⚘
Hello Sarah, How are you doing?
Me too Sarah
Same...puts me in a good space.
Masterpiece. My senior year Fall '83. First time I heard it I knew it was a classic. Such a chill tune.
Class of '83 is The Best ☺️✌️
Class of 83'
Class of 1984, No Sky too High, No Bar too Far.
My two favorite Robert Plant solo songs: In the Mood and The Big Log! Both on the first album post LED ZEPPELIN: The Principle of Moments! The Principle of Moments is my favorite Robert Plant solo album!
Back when MTV didn’t suck.
MrChuckwagon55 AND WAS FULL OF FAKE TRASH REALITY TV 🤮🤮🤮
No, when they played videos!!
Wished we had those days back man!! Too bad Mr. Plant couldn't buy it up and give it a reboot! Now that really be somethn huh!!
I no longer have cable when I have TH-cam and this awesome song!
Really man, MTV was the shit back in the day Liquid television and Headbanger's Ball.
One of the best 'bedroom' themed songs...
I remember thinking how extraordinary this song was the first time I heard it in 1983. Can't believe it's almost 😳 40 years ago.
This boy is tough!!!!He has so many different styles of music. Great artist!!!!Thanks Robert, you're the man!!!
+Judy Busby Are you Judy
Judy Thorpe You Betcha. I have followed him and Led Zeppelin for decades .Always delivers.One of the Best !!!
Judy Thorpe and you're a beauty!
Judy Thorpe I agree
Judy Thorpe Your husband Jim Thorpe is the man, gender is Blount & Gentle, your the half grail no Sir Robisit..Thorpe is so funny and great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hours in my room as a teenager listening to this album…& parties later as we got older with my brother blasting Plant & Led Zeppelin music…🤎
Appreciate this song even more today than when it was originally released
indeed. 2024 listener.
I was born in 74, I was fortunate to have had a family that was of led zeppelin era and so as I grew up my home was always playing led zeppelin as others from late 60s and 70s and so as I got older through the 80s with Robert going solo my mom played his albums and you could hear it all through the house as she was humming and singing along while getting ready for work....she's gone now but I thank her for raising me to this music 💓
I'm sorry for your loss. She had great taste...and she passed this to you. That's awesome@!@!!
@@carolinealbelo2342 yes💯🙋
What a cool mama... now you're a "cool mama" too!
Sorry for your loss.
I can totally relate as I was born in 71 and brought up the same with great music we are definitely the lucky ones to grow up in the best era for great music. May your life be full of happiness and great vibes my friend
@@godricmclauchlan6842 💯♥️
If I had to guess when this song came out, I would NOT have guessed 1982! This song is just timeless..
Even in the quietest moments. I remember sweet memories of my family and friends Amen.
❤❤❤
This song has a nostalgic, slightly melancholy feel. I was only 6 when it came out. One of the songs that characterizes my childhood and the 80s in general for me, for sure.
I was only 1 and still remember it from my dad and grandpa playing it many times!
I can never listen to this song just once. It evokes so much from the depth of soul, especially that almost silent, pregnant moment where the song climaxes.
The days when MTV was just that. Music television. That’s gone now. We will always have the music, though.
Yes! Spent most of my at home time with MTV running. It was our new age radio😊
Still a magical song. This and Big Log take me back to my early teenage years.
summer of '83 😀
My all time favorite Robert Plant song. All time
My favorite Robert Plant song. It's just so good even several decades later.
It's one of those songs that you think can only be accomplished by a band with 10 years behind them, but most of these guys are session musicians!
And we all know session musicians rarely get any credit!
The guitar work from Robbie Blunt at 2:20 is outstanding.
Then, if that wasn't enough....
at 3:06 some wonderful synchronized music here with synth, bass and drums. Works so well together
punchy bass from Paul Martinez
smooth synth lines from Gerald Woodroffe
and last but certainly not least the multi-talented Phil Collins on drums.
So glad we didn't lose Robert to addiction, suicide, etc. Led Zep was excellent and then he kept going! He's still recording these days at age 71!
That is my definition of Rock star hero!
YES , And Robert is STILL HANDSOME and LOOKING FINE !! 👍💜
I love this one but I also love, Tall Cool One. Different vibes both great songs.
One of my favorites too... hard to pick just one when he has so many
@@cinditeel2875 OH ,He Is The Tall Cool One !!! 💜👍🎶☮️
He is the God of Rock
Still holds up in 2023. 💯🔥👍🏾🤜🏾
This is a beautiful song accompanied by a beautiful video.
Some of the best videos were made in the 80's. Miss the times when music meant something.
the peak of rock and roll was 70s&80s man these songs are real music that gripped our generation and made all of us legends when we would lean up on the front fender of a 78 Buick catalina and jam the factory speakers the fuck out just jamming all night drinking beer outta a card board box filled with ice and smoking some badass weed all joints back then and bongs fuuuuck those were the days man ✌🤘🖕👍
Lifer CFH I’m not disagreeing with you or disrespecting your opinion but at the time this album came out, I used to hear people criticizing 80s music for not having any meaning. I didn’t agree with them but I chuckled when I saw your comment just because of how opinions have changed since then. Rock on.
Most of the modern stuff sucks compared to this.
Lifer CFH fucken ey your right i cry for these times back
Carlos Reyes I hear your bro I remember this in my dad's 69 Malibu and I still have the beast Id die before I sold it
Do you know that Mr Plant went to the deep deep South and studied our "Blues". He has always been in love with the blues and it definitely shows. Go back and really listen to Led Zeppelin and you can hear those blues in almost every song they wrote and did. Wonderful! They were and still are the best. Robert Plant still is. I've only loved him since 1969. Everyone wanted and tried to sound like him. No one ever could! He is one of a kind and the best! Thank you for your talent! Love and peace...
Check him out with Alison Krause.
Also has a strong background in classical
I am in awe of Robert's talent. Just amazing.
Time and time again I've caught myself gazing into a starry sky, with this song and many other special songs from my childhood. I always seem to end up asking the same question...why can't we just go back?
Just one of those songs that gives me emotions I cannot name.
This is one of the very best songs of the entire 80s. I loved it when it first came out and it still never gets skipped when it comes up on my MP3,
Pop-locking + Break-dancing + Robert Plant + Phil Collins = A masterpiece. I'm sure Mr. Plant could already start to see that even in it's fledgling state, there was something about hip-hop that was interesting and exciting that was never seen or heard before.
