One of my favs from Plant, soo much drama; in the tune.

[seanandtracey1]

i had this single on full vinyl album that you played on 45rpm...great to hear it again!! sweet!!!

[tweener828592]

Love it!

[SD1Chargers]

RP loves him some Asian women....they were in so many of his post Zep vids

[OzzyDave6969]

we put 40, 000 pounds in too this ..thks steve



[n2wishinn]

I agree with DankOne 2008 - let me add the dancers and the Asian woman represent his battle with his own alter ego beyond...and everything changes...

[otto3663]

hey dankone2008 - this song was written well after some his first solo music. RP is not concerned with such petty BS, as getting away from Zep. Paige has remained his friend throughout their separation, and still does. Those guys spent a good portion of their formative years together and made tons of $. Those memories never fade. RP does not dismiss former mates in such a fashion.

LOVE ROBERT PLANT!! When he made this...I immediately went out and bought it... and fell in love... I know alot of people really didnt care for his solo career... open ur minds folks.... there was music after Zeppelin... dont get me wrong LOVED Zeppelin.. but im not limited only to them when it comes to Plant.

.... great songs.. great change... loved it :)

[funwithFred]

Love it!!!!! Loud!!

[rallyeraidr]

I always thought it was about the long grief he suffered after the death of his little boy. I once remember him being questioned about this in an interview (many years afterwards) and had he come to terms with the lose.

He answered that he could never come to terms with it but little by little he could move on...kinda stuck with me until I heard the song.

[51Thundersticks]

One of the greatest vocalist. With or without the Zeppelin.

[Boski391]

This a great Robert Plant Song!

It is one of my favorites along with

Big Log

Sixes And Sevens

In the Mood

[macpar11]

i LOVE THIS SONG!!

ROBERT PLAN'S GREATEST SONGS EVER!!

[willbilly2fistmcgee]

Timeless jam !

[fittingly]

This song ROCKS.

Don't hear it over the radio enough anymore.

[propil]

this videclip is amazing..

[Danimalization]

Ritchie from Little Feet another overlooked great band

[scottp118]

This is not Phil Collins on drums. It's still Ritchie Hayward kicking ass on one of the coolest rock drum tracks ever. They've just turned the snare and hi-hat up in the mix, toms and cymbals down, and added some reverb. The "extra" notes were either mixed in later, or mixed out for the standard version. Listen to the hi-hat and splash flourishes, the very slight increase in tempo in the intro, and the signature fills at 2:40 and 3:50. Phil Collins is a good drummer, but this isn't his style.

[Brad79FL]

I love this song this and big log and his best ever, brings back good times of living in Rapid City South Dakota, hearing his songs on Q92.3FM while driving down I-90!

[anonwebserfer]

i thought this song was also about losing bonham with the lyrics litte by little the air clears the day passes by and he chants in a mentally disarrayed hurting way " i can breath again na"i can breath again NA

[ezri99]

anybody know the name of the church in the opening scenes and where is it?

I'm guessing Wales

[Danimalization]

I think It's also about leavibng the great success of Led Zep after Johns death

[getyourtruth]

is this song about his divorce??????

[summerofmysmile]

Mr. Plant took his divorce very hard, very hard indeed.

[Glitterbladejester]

You're video is great by the way!

[Glitterbladejester]

i've been into plant since i was around six, because i grew up with his music-my dad was a huge fan and i'm just grateful that i'm still a fan because plant is an amazing solo artist

[bleuroo]

You've done a nice job of editing the video, but I'm having difficulty warming up to the remix of the song.

It seems as if everything that made the original version so memorable (to me at least): the succinct drumming, the tight rhythmic structure of the keyboards, the natural dynamics of Plants singing, etc is either lost or confused on this.

[Danimalization]

cool cool soung does'nt sound dated one bit does it!

[goofygoat2009]

i always liked this song and video--very stylish. remember it from 1985 when i was in high school

[Pinchysandcrab]

This is awesome!! Thanks Sherry for share!

[DejaVuSu]

BEAUTIFUL VID..JUST GLORIOUS!!

Robert....ahhhhhh!!

thanks Sherry..

[Galileus070]

Sounds Great

[chickensandwich77]

Why is this so much better than the whining emotional dreck on today's charts?

[towcar68]

It made the rock charts as number one in 1985 for two weeks.

Now you got some good songs on there, and then some very horrible screamo-metal music, which isn't music

[keithmbn]

@chickensandwich77 Robert Plant is why the music industry has suffered for quite awhile if you ask me . Great comment BTW

[keithmbn]

@chickensandwich77 Robert Plant is a REAL musician and real musicians want to play with him. Todays music with few exceptions sucks.

[BaDeeRich]

Phil Collins on drums great sound..

[seanseventy]

really!thats two reasons to hate this song then

[BaDeeRich]

You dont have to be so hurtful

[SapientiaEtFortuna]

cool!

[FAUVEEX]

I didn't know this version, not bad.

I love this song ,the album was very nice.

[RudiNosferatu]

God Bless the 80's!

'Little by Little...'

[Ruraljohn]

Does anyone have Far Post by Plant?

[freein2339]

Nice groove....

[Ruraljohn]

Vety Excellent Video and fantastic audio wow--> Thanks :-)

[rockabillychickee]

me likey!

(cool share pete=) tnx!)

[SMdiabla]

Thanks for posting the long version of this. Surprisingly, XM/Sirius is playing Big Log relatively often on the Led Zep station - but I don't hear this. This song converted me to major Robert Plant fandom. Beautiful. Haunting. Thank you for putting it up.

[santasxgirlfriend]

audio is fabulous!!!!! just like rp!

[themainthing1974]

I really wonder where exactly this was filmed. I would like to visit there.

[dogsrule4ever]

great video and AUDIO~!

[bruxo870]

THE BEST

[DankOne2008]

I have a different take than most on this song.  This has universal meaning, but I personally think he is speaking of starting a new life and career and moving away from his former life with Led Zeppelin and the loss of his dear friend John Bonham. I think he is expressing that he felt boxed in with Led Zeppelin and forced to be a person that he no longer was suffocating from the demands of fans and the band. He moved on far enough at this point to start making music and writing again.

[hazor777]

UHH......thanks for sharing

[ethanthestuntman]

Used in season two of "Miami Vice".

[ravendofthemist]

'MEN IN BLACK' little by little........

[TabOraSunset]

Thank you for sharing, love the longer version.

[moonlightravend7]

that's right england- little by little.

[Rachel1972]

Thanks for sharing this, I've been looking for this for months on here!

[stephenraybell]

W E B N ROCKS

[adriantabatha]

my husband just told me that he also lost his little boy around this time.

[cheaptrick1969]

He lost is son while Led Zep were still together. not sure what year though (70's)

[adriantabatha]

this song may be based on the loss of a relationship but the imagery with the greys/blues, the cemetery, even the song's emotions make it universal. it's a wonderful song for someone coming out of grief of any kind. no coincidence that i woke up with this in mind after seeing his concert b/c i'm just getting back to feeling like myself after losing 4 loved ones in 1 1/2 years. to people who say music in the 80s was thoughtful, ditto. glad i was around for it and can refer back as i get older...

[adriantabatha]

wondering DaveRFuller if you can post the original video too. i like what you've done and at the same time want to see it. i just saw him in concert and though he's moved on, it just takes me back to the last time i saw him in 88. he's so wonderful!

[5177845]

I love this song. So much mood and atmosphere to it. You really feel the emotions he was going through at the time.

[whutzat]

Man.......music and videos used to not only be SOOOO much better than they are now, but they actually put some effort, artistry, and meaning in the videos.Thanks for sharing this.

[XB70Playboy]

Obviously a live music track was put in over the original video music track. Okay. Not my favorite move, but that's just me.

[Shad0827]

man I love this tune and remember it so well....

[malinwj]

Back when videos were cool and had something to do with the song; many different levels - you could find the meaning, or, just take in the a/v for entertainment's sake. Good stuff!

[swtcook]

Robert Plant was still good looking then..has anyone seen him now???

[BrianKinney3]

I heard the other day he's touring again.

[swtcook]

touring??? well they just played a huge concert in the UK as Zepplin..but i know him adn jimmy page were touring of and on for the last 5 years...

[barbh1]

He and Alison Krauss are going to be touring all around the US and Europe promoting their album, Raising Sand. Their first gig, I think, is in New Orleans at the New Orleans Heritage and Jazz Festival really soon. There are several videos on youtube of the songs on that album.

[gypsyluv]

Ethereal & Effervescent. Graci'

[CobraCutie]

so good it gave me chills...

[bri824]

incredible!

[CRAZYCRADER]

Robert Plant RULES!

[gypsyluv]

just great- merci

[barbh1]

Thanks for posting that interesting video. Visually gorgeous. Blurring of the gender roles. Marriage. Someone passing through the marriage party. I wonder what it all means?

[swtcook]

The song, I believe, is written about an unusually difficult break up.. "Little by little..I can breathe again" Someone passing through the wedding party could be a referance to an interferance in the marriage...the bride being white, blending into the background, means she is no longer there...blurred gender roles, is related to the fact that it could happen to anyone

[barbh1]

Wow! That was a great analysis. I love to talk about songs and their meanings. If you have time or an interest, check out my channel, maybe we can talk more. Have a great day!

[swtcook]

thank you..I also like to talk about music and try to figure out why sondg were sung...Robert Plant is famous for putting double meaning into all of his music...See Big Log..post a comment and let me know what you think..your channel??..I am afraid that I am a little ignorant when it comes to You Tube but we can chat about Music anytime!

[whipit4me]

yeah you are right robert and maureen divorced during the release of priciple of moments lp prior to this lp.

[ZoSoRecords]

nice!! Thanks.. i have this version on a special LP. but never saw the video!!
