Robert Plant_Song To The Siren

[@rebeccaweil1]

I can’t stop weeping due to his beautiful rendition

[@SanjitChudha]

There are few good versions of this song. Tim Buckley's original is one. But for me, the version which made it astonishing, magical and transporting was Elizabeth Fraser's haunting rendition in 1983. Robert Plant's is the third. There are no others which compare.

[@RomyIlano]

I know right? these three versions make me cry !

[@user-zz7si3ku5q]

What about Bryan Ferry?

[@teeblo100]

Rose Betts version is good also.

[@xysxys6131]

Brendan Perry's live performance is also great

[@PascalBlondiau]

Sinead O'Connor's version is touching, also.

[@jasont3913]

This is beyond beautiful. One of the best performances of Robert Plant's career. Simplicity yet perfection, and one for the ages. Thank you Tim Buckley for writing this magnificent work, and thank you Robert Plant for doing it such justice.

[@scottdavison1420]

Larry Beckett wrote the lyrics.

[@vanhaibui4949]

Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was forced out Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow Oh my heart, Oh my heart shies from the sorrow" Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death, my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you"

[@gazdenny6594]

Its " were you hare when I was fox " not. Were you here when I was forced out "

[@martinamanecke3622]

Thanx for the lyrics! :-)

[@juvenilegolden]

you can feel Roberts compassion during the solo. Amazing man and artist.

[@Robin-gv2he]

I love him

[@MarieLuvsNate]

​@@Robin-gv2heMe too!

[@SylviaSchmutz]

Only Robert can sing a song like this, hauntingly, heart and soul exposed❤. Tears I my eyes, heart beating ...what a rendition. 🙏🙏 ❤💕

[@brendanewland6636]

Robert puts his heart in this, it gets me crying 😢 he does a great job on this song ❤

[@scopex2749]

sung with true passion for the beauty of the lyrics and emotion of the song. RIP Tim and Jeff :(((

[@melodiehale620]

Such a soulful & heartfelt rendition by the incomparable Robert Plant. This most beautiful song haunts me as I go thru my day. Not in a bad way but I find myself singing it. I consider myself blessed to be alive in the same era as him!

[@fyrespirit999]

Seriously, just revel in the beauty of this song and people singing passionately with all their hearts. There is no need to be analytical about who's version is better or worse. Enjoy and love it all.

[@joeschmo7957]

Don't be analytical about it, just agree with you, eh?

[@brendanewland6636]

It's a beautiful song. Robert puts his whole heart ♥ into this. I think he did this Buckley song justice but that's just my opinion...

[@brianmata3337]

I dont care how cool or uncool it is to like robert plant. this is a really soulful rendition. the man is spot on. that's a great arrangement as well with some interesting dynamics. I wish Tim would have known how much he was dug in his lifetime.

[@234cheech]

plants a geinus just of his tones

[@GoldenLight22]

Who doesn't like Robert Plant?

[@dominicviner6619]

I love him and this but I like the tempo from the original song. The guitar sounds off when it's slowed down. I don't even think it's the same notes

[@midwestkatie8068]

There are many beautiful versions of this, but none matches the beautiful simplicity of Tim. Tho you can't deny Robert loves this song and Tim. This has been one of my continual favorites since the day I bought the album decades ago. I lost the album, and almost cried when I found it on YT. I'm thrilled to know it is stilled loved by so many people.

[@z3ttto]

I really like Frusciante's version

[@LuizGMohallem]

Me too. Frusciante's is my favorite, but that's problably because it was the first one I heard

[@aphex_twinkie]

This Mortal Coil's versión is something apart. Totally beautiful!

[@IAmFat1968]

love this Mortal Coil and Brendan Perry's version

[@robertnewell5057]

@midwestkatie You summed it up

[@katherinaJee55]

thank you Robert ,this is a very touching... thanx ♫ ♥

[@barbg1123]

My favorite version..What a gorgeous song, & man...

[@s.t.8898]

VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...

[@marilynsinger2821]

I heard this beautiful song a few years ago, sung by Edan Everly, son of Don and nephew of Phil Everly. Don and Phill have now sadly passed away, Edan has quite a repertoire of wonderful songs, sung with such emotion, including this one, my favourite.🙋🏻‍♀️ but I still enjoy the Tim, Covers and Robert Plants beautiful version..

[@jodyludbrook3624]

This is so moving- other worldly. Sung only the way he could ❤️❤️💕🥰

[@Deebz270]

When one learns and sings The Song To The Siren, one gets taken by the song, in a way no other song seems to accomplish... There is something alluring about the whole piece, its frequencies, its cadences and the sheer beauty of the poem that became Tim Buckley's song. . Elizabeth Frazer did a remarkable job of covering this, a song so suited to her individual style of singing, likewise a perfect fit for Bob Plant. Well done !

[@melaniecosta2926]

I love this version,so beautiful!!

[@BonnieBoren]

Grown up & growing old together....thanks for sharing your vocals & life with us!🎶💙

[@draganolic5567]

deep deep version plant did it in his way excellent

[@officialmikegrogan]

Absolutely beautiful. I have listened to this so many times!! By far the best interpretation of the song.

[@sarsacat9469]

I dig it, it's been covered by so many great artists, I think Plant does it justice.

[@healerJQ]

Most understated comment of all time.

[@LoriLeiDembroski]

Robert Plant could sing a phone book and make it sound beautiful.

[@mohamedrharrabi2725]

Lovely cover . Robert bring his touch for a wonderful song . Acoustic version . I appreciate the style

[@jellobiafra4713]

Plant, Plant, Plant!!!!!! Voice from Heaven!!

[@r.aschacht6461]

First time I heard Robert Plant sing this I was 14 4nd cried my eyes out. It is so moving. Listened to the other renditions by other musicians but just didn't do it for me like this version

[@andyhassett2782]

He does the song more than justice...you people got ears???? best version ever.....!

[@phydia72]

Bellissimo omaggio a Tim Buckley.. questo dimostra la sensibilità di Robert verso chi ha avuto meno fortuna di lui ma che scriveva cose bellissime (pur essendo un padre orrendo)..ennesimo tanto di cappello a Robert, uno che ha amato la musica dentro... Tim avrebbe sorriso sentendo la sua canzone cantata da Robert plant... grazie ad entrambi

[@patriciadeweever6433]

OMG I just love this song. Brings tears to my eyes. Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. Had to stop painting my pic. 😪💔

[@_nomote_]

Tim and plant are my favorite vocalist so this is amazing

Robert Plant’s interpretation of Tim Buckley’s lyrics is simply... perfection.

Questa canzone è un capolavoro! E chiunque la canti rimane sempre un capolavoro!

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

yes U knew this reminded me of a certain feeling ...just like The rain song .....so Deep and Beautiful .....just what we yearn for .

[@andrew123456789739]

This is lovely. There are many great versions of this song, and all that I've heard are heartfelt and sacred. That's the mark of a truly great song.

[@PutItAway101]

That sound he makes with his voice at 5:31... pure emotion beyond words.. It reminds me of The Rain Song, after the line "I curse the gloom that set upon us, but I know that I love you so".

[@pugilat123456]

+PutItAway101 3:23

[@tomwayne3755]

[@lisaandjasonmusic8272]

We love this song. Love hearing it. Love singing it.

[@wildoscar416]

superb..suits roberts voice perfectly

[@108benzep]

Most beautiful song I ever heard in my live...

[@Garrison2]

Yet another wonderful version of a wonderful song

[@OnlyOneCypherOne]

This reminds me why I started playing music. Like so many others Led zeppelin was a foundation to the exposure to the world of preforming music. Robert has always been a one in only type of singer.

[@rwretirementliving6423]

Wow, Brians accurate rendition and the use of the band for drama works really well. Authentic . Love it.

[@TheLovachild]

am I dreaming....on the rocks. why is love so beautiful, yet, so painful?! thank YOU for this sweetest of shares!

[@lindagreen9292]

Loved it! Just a different style. I don't tell an painter how to paint and I would not tell a musician how to sing.

[@katherinaJee55]

Linda Green You said it very correctly Linda... it would be very boring if everyone sings this song the same way....Jeff loves Robert Plant & Zeppelin...he learned from Robert a lot ♫ ♥

[@williampollock6451]

Linda Green

[@234cheech]

nice

[@sofiajgrassetti9311]

I didn't have the pleasure the chance to see Jeff Buckley live either his fater due to the circumstances, but i had the Amazing, thrilling, beautiful chance to see Plant last year with his theatre tour. Was one of the best moment ever ever had. He's a kind of sciamano and we were all fascinated and amazed by his voice... which recall in my mind the Jeff Buckley one. The incredible thing and bit funny is tha Led Zeppelin were the best Jeff Buckley's band. a weirdo circle... 💖

[@marystiner5485]

Absolutely amazing Robert is so passionate about every song he sings.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyann1358]

Got me crying in the library, thanks. That was friggin beautiful!

[@ladyfuschia]

It's a tender, endearing song. You can't sing it without your heart jumping out of your chest and innocently circling the head of your beloved love.

[@JustCamus]

Thank you for sharing. Great cover.

[@davidellis5141]

Robert paying homage To Tim & Jeff !! Also a big Arthur Lee (Love) fan !!

[@ghostingyou1]

Jeff B. admired Led Zeppelin more than almost any other band out there. He was even said to be singing "Whole Lotta Love" in those last seconds of his life. How much this tribute would have meant to Jeff. :)

[@maryjvanderwerken3192]

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant crossed paths with Jeff Buckley when all three were casually wandering around the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Page luved the album "Grace".

[@rallychamp2003]

Great song, thanks for very much the upload.

Tim Buckley is Jeff Buckley's dad sadly they're...both gone...Tim debuted this song near the end of a Monkees episode...you know, the one with the "frotus eye" taking over televisions?....rest in peace both father and son...Tim and Jeff

[@loridriskell8121]

Ohhhhh myy Soooo beautiful💋💋🙌🙌✌😍😘

[@williamreich1910]

Indeed. The sign of a brilliant songwriter is that other artists can perform it & make it their own, forgetting who wrote the original.

[@TMNigel]

Tears...so beautiful.

[@NutriPsychClinics]

Beautiful cover. To compare his voice to his work in the 70's or to Tim is ludicrous. Apples and oranges. Loved it.

[@LebPizzaMan]

His friend was on shore with a boombox while Jeff was swimming away in the river while singing Whole Lotta Love.

We couldn't have more different opinions.. I think its fantastic and absolutely brilliant how Robert Plant covered this song and added so much emotion!

One of my very favorite Robert Plant songs, I think he has the most evocative singing voice on the planet. 💙🎶☺

[@joeschmo7957]

You are precise and correct about different opinions. Plant should stick to his Zeppelin tunes. He can't carry a candle to the monument that is and will always be Tim Buckley.

[@StoneMonkey]

You're better than just good when Plant & Page Talk about you with such reverence!

[@reeb9016]

Robert sings it in the Elizabeth Fraser (This Mortal Coil) style. Very nice.
