Robert Plant - If I Were A Carpenter

[theEndi80]

Muito Bom!!! 

[Myax0Lixue]

Most people choose some Lionel Ritchie or Chris de Burgh song for their first dance at their wedding..... we chose this. 15 years later we're still man and wife.

[NietzschesFreund1]

Yeah, this is it. ... Fucking AWESOME.

[Kitsunex94]

Robert Plant = God Singer

Jimmy Page = God Guitarist

nuff' said : ) (im talking about this not Led Zeppelin)

[Taveraseg]

Waaooo.. la canción es un portento de creación !!...

[jerryavila1]

the girl is probably his daughter. kind of akward to see an aging fellow acting as if he can handle a young girl´s thirst.

[monsiere1]

@dickrobot There all great ,Darin ,4Tops,Carpenters,Cash,Plant. Thank you Tim Hardin. R.I.P.

[RamsayE]

Who is the woman in this video?

[costantino70spa]

Molto Romantico e si sposa benissimo con il video ballata di ozzy osborne mama coming home

[dickrobot]

This is nice. But, the Johnny Cash version gives me the goosebumps. Sorry.

[BiahDaylightDancer]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I DIDN'T KNOW HE SINGS THIS SONG TOO! Sooooooo amazing, OOMG!

[lilkynan]

WOW - one of the best

[karac833]

How many times can a singer, successfully, cahnge his "mojo"?

[karac833]

It is a good production. Through a decent (ie not ipod) it sounds awesome.

[Findel5]

OMG how do you beat that....... one of the all time great songs, plant singing and that beautiful young woman......;-)

[Sakuya727]

YEEEESSSSSS I WOULD MARRY YOU ROBERT AND HAVE TEN MILLION BABIES FOR YOU IF YOU ASKED ME TO (I wouldn't mind doing it with you ten million times) XD !!!!!!!

[fuchiabut54]

LED ZEPPLIN of my youth. Plant older and getting better!! Fantastic voice still! Miss the solo guitars and drums of that time!!!!! We dance like crazies on the dancefloor

[TheCandice40]

love it!!!!

[pedrinag]

I can't get enough of Robert Plant.

[TheJesterGirl]

@KrazyWretch Have you ever seen him with short hair? Now that's what I call goofy-looking.

[maewestmore]

Okay, the person who posted this video is deserving of a huge fucking hug. I've seen the live performance on video, but never knew until tonight there'd been an official video of it. The orchestra in the background reminds me of the Bobby Darin version but Plant's voice really makes it. I agree with whoever said the song may have been written by someone else, but Plant owns it. Sure does. Oh, and his hair is just fine. It's who he is and his talent can't be hidden.

[MrRTFirefly]

@maewestmore Tim Hardin wrote and originally sang it. He owns it.

Its a folk song. Pure and simple.

[TheWatercolorlife]

jejejejeje je je je je ....a 6 no les gusta!!!

[1973marcelo]

muito boa musica gostei, marceleza

[johnny260100]

something that would've fit or come out zepp 3.

[evilhealer]

To paraphrase Trent Reznor when he was talking about Johnny Cash singing "Hurt" "Yes I wrote the song but it belongs to Johnny Cash now". The same can be said for this song it belongs to Robert Plant now.

[Pighood]

Song is ideally suited for his vocal range.

[stormruston]

Great version, I wonder if Robert Planted her?

[MrWittlez]

Yes Robert, yes I would!

[ROM1974YT]

Sara this song is for you

[afonsomario]

Spectacular!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!! Applause!!!!!! Favorite Video and Channel

Greetings – Dj Mario Afonso – Rio de Janeiro – RJ – Brazil

I love music, dogs, human beings and nature.

Much music, health and peace.

[TheDejavupanama]

Only the best!! Robert Plant!!

[thomas070760]

This is the Best Version of this Song I know. Better than the Original. Great Robert Plant. I love him.

[mymindourdream]

one of best Plant's vocal performance's of all his great career,he shows us what means to enter our ears and get to the heart!! Fabulous!!!

[MrJessica2450]

Yo te entrego mi ♥ aun si fueras un carpintero!!!!!!!!! mi condición es que siempre tengas esa nobleza grande Robert Plant

[MrJessica2450]

El es un grande !!!!!!!!!!! es el mejor me gustaría tener el honor de verlo en vivo lo esperare con muchas ganas Robert ven a Chile por fa te lo ruego!!!!

[TheStoneAlexander]

More perfection from Plant.

[tdbrown1963]

Robert, I love you now and I loved you then...but why can't you love a woman at least 3/4 your age, instead of 1/3?

[trapperx6]

@tdbrown1963 I once heard that the woman who appears in this video is his daughter.

[Hippypottamus]

@trapperx6 I always thought that if Plant had a daughter she's be gob smackingly beautiful.

I now know that's true.

[sirensealight]

@Hippypottamus That is not is daughter...Look up Carmen Jones Bellydancing here on Youtube and you'll see his real daughter...

[tdbrown1963]

@trapperx6

Now that really makes me sick. I doubt that. He is obviously asking her to have his baby.

[mariovicencio1965]

@tdbrown1963 He's testing her love , he's a simple carpenter and she's a lady . poor man, rich lady that's the issue

[MentalAffliction]

4 people wouldn't marry a carpenter.

[bombardemo]

Respects from Germany !

[reinaldovicencio]

Robert Plant eu sou seu sócia no Brasil, confira em minha fhoto.Acompanho seu trabalho de 1.973.Sou fanatico por rock roll .

robert plant, i will give you my tomorrow, any day..

[Just0Kiddin]

NoBody does this song better!

[flhr2000]

@Just0Kiddin I beg to differ sir... Please see Bobby Darin's you will thank me . PS-Robert's is very good just saying.

[jonnysongs]

whoever persuaded robert to add the strings fucked up big time

[184lisa]

You don´t have to be a carpenter. And I would marry you ! :-)

[TJLoute]

Another one for you,my beloved one...

[ElinaIsabel1]

I would love to sing this song with him like June Carter Cash did with Johnny Cash..."If you were a carpenter, and I was a lady, I would marry you anyway, I would have your baby..." ;)

[staffo76]

FOR PEOPLE  WHO DONT KNOW THATS HIS DAUGHTER IN THE VIDEO

[strangeinc]

@staffo76 Thanks for yelling

[fizl1000]

I really don't think Robert was in charge of the artistic direction of this flick, maybe, just maybe the producer used the age old tradition of "sexy girl sells video"

I also have a sneaking suspicion Robert is quite contented in his private love life, so all the o oglers , and wanna be's just enjoy the music and pretty girls... its a video... not a documentary on love interests of Robert Plant... geesh!

[swearydad]

I love this. Just played it four times.

[X1xone]

This is Robert in his mid 40's not his current 60 plus. He could have easily gotten a girl that hot back then, and probably now.

[isomaryj]

Just beautifull

[futubeii]

R U kidding? Its the ZEP! Man, he can bang anyone he wants.......hes doing HER a favor. Apparently , you are from a diff. era. this kind of music has been lost to the pages of history. No one hardly ever writes thier own songs anymore. Much less even sings them live. Its all lip syncing. Something wich was once frowned upon is now the standard...........

[boinng100]

why the young eye candy robert?do you really think she'd look twice at you if you wer'nt a multi milionaire rock star?get real..this vid spoils a good version of the song tho

[Pernig]

@boinng100 Maybe that's the point. It is the subject of the song after all.

[GiveeMehhPoisonn]

my idol, role model, the greatest vocalist of all time, at his greatest. absolutely fantastic.

[lightofathousand]

I don't see a date, but I'll bet after all these years, she looks a lot better than he does.

Just sayin'...

[larams2813]

@lightofathousand Plant is in his 60's. She's probably in her 40's now so yah of course she'd look better. How good do you think your going to look when your 60+?

[lightofathousand]

@larams2813 No kidding. Check back with me in about five years and see for yourself.

[stumvoll100]

Danke,Spitzenmusik und Clip!!weiter so......

Mfg C.S.A.-Kavallerie-Rebell

[MrPageyzoso]

I absolutely LOVE this song!!!

[myswedishprince]

Well...I meant the guy, hee...I realize some people might be looking at the girl...lol

[myswedishprince]

Oh, what a hottie!!

[londonuk70]

The best version ever!!!!!!!!!!!

[pwdragon]

really my favorite version.

[ElinaIsabel1]

Love, love, love!!

Plant is my God of Rock!! Always and forever, young or old! Love the faces he makes to the camera! Could kiss him! :) And that haunting voice!

Thanks for posting!

[ldtdrums]

Fantastic Love it,Gives me the chills!

[1969bugger]

what dicks disliked it?

[pyawackette]

this originally bone by bobby darin.......robert cought the essence of this song and the musical arangement is amazing...........best version i have ever heard.....

[weenori1]

IF I WERE A CARPENTER ROBERT PLANT



[uglybettyx1]

Splendoso!!!

[worldofdrumz]

Didn' t really care for this song (too folksy) until Plant did it. Now it is fantastic!!!!!!

[tierce1221]

this has to be the greatest remakes ever. and I dedicate this absolutely awesome song to an absolutely wonderful and awesome person- jennifer hinds. the greatest mom ever and my first love ! jeff

[aleidenf]

Love it!

[TiggerRah]

@lpodruchny It was amazing, but I can't imagine it compared to him in his glory days with Paige! You're the lucky one here.

[MrMsEsanchez]

PRECIOSA CANCION,CON MUY BUENOS ARREGLOS,MAGNIFICA VOZ DEL MAESTRO PLANT..

[linnamuuf]

Masters will rule forever!

For me the masters are Robert Plant, Ronnie James Dio and Ian Gillan.

Long live Rock'n'Roll !

[worldofdrumz]

@linnamuuf RIGHT ON !!!!!!

[virginiuspaiva]

eu tenho esse album fabuloso 1993

[LapisRom]

I simply love the voice of Robert Plant. And this one is a great song, anyway

[cocoalump]

HAPPY 62nd BIRTHDAY ROBERT PLANT.. 8/20/48

[gorgeoustxwoman]

I love this song and Robert does it beautifully. Is that his GRANDDAUGHTER in the video?

[BenjaminOrrLegacy]

Beautiful remake and a great song indeed!

[HUMBLPI3]

Small Faces version (thanks to Steve Marriott) is much better and especially if you consider they did it better 25 years earlier!!

[TiggerRah]

I just saw him in concert! He was simply fantastic, he puts on a GREAT show!!

[lpodruchny]

@TiggerRah Lucky you, wish I was there. Saw him and Page in 98 and it was fantastic.

[janida93]

wwwhaaaat?! That song have got clip?? Wau....Amazing...I Love It...I love Album Fate Of nation....Robert ROCK ON!

[CLOVER483]

I beg to differ that this is the best version, either he needs to follow the tune or the band needs to speed up/slow down to follow his singing. Bobby Darin is the best version even live he flows with the melody. Love R.P. but he's too fast, the melody is lagging behind him.

[gallardoknight6]

Alison Krauss

[themurderock]

Capolavoro...

[xtsteve]

the girl in this video is gorgeous!!! Who is she???

[gallardoknight6]

@xtsteve alison krauss

[gallardoknight6]

@xtsteve alison krauss

[AnnHattieAnn]

@gallardoknight6 You are kidding, right?... the girl in this video is NOT Alison Krauss...anymore than I am.

Uhhh...it's actually Lady Gaga. Yeah, that's it.

(Wow, I see how you did that. Since you don't really know, you can pull a name right out of the air. Very. Slick.)

[PrudenceNumberNine]

Hell yes, I would still marry Robert even if he was a hobo! :P

[PrudenceNumberNine]

@PrudenceNumberNine Not saying a carpenter is a hobo...using 'hobo' for emphasis....

[sexxxxgodesss22hot]

I saw Robert in The Sunrise Musical theater in 94. Awesome, I decided if I never saw another concert I could die happy. I had the CD but it wasn't till last year I got the 9 Lives box set (which is awesome), I am so moved by this song. How blessed we are to have a talent like Robert continue to strech his wings. Love "Please read the letter". Anxious to see what"the "Band of Joy" tour brings. I can still remember hearing dazed & confused when my friends were listening toi David Cassidy(YUK).!

[nancyj630]

Awsome!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[orgorg7]

Who is the beautiful young girl?

[xtsteve]

@orgorg7 did you ever find out who the beautiful girl in the robert plant 'if i were a carpenter video' is? I wanna know. :]

[orgorg7]

@xtsteve

No I haven't Steve. To be honest with you I didn't look that hard.

I found nothing doing a search, but perhaps going to Robert's

website might turn up her name.

[jannette747]

I like this song so much, is vety sweet.

[knuell68]

best song forever thx*****

[Malgosita]

In my opinion this video clip is both fantastic and awful... The awful part the scenes with Robert and the girl (beautiful indeed). Like someone said - they are rather annoying. The rest - I would say - esoteric and magical:)

The song of course is great.

[parablearable]

dito

[LesSmith45]

I would just give anything to see this live today with about a 100 piece string section. He should have re recorded this one with Alisson.

[tazztower44]

no wonder that kids of today are reaching back a few decades for music to listen to..the music of today stinks..not all,but about 97% of it..i know plant didnt compose this,but his version is one of my favourites..

[Bosingr]

I always thought this was a really beautiful cover.

[ACrivers6]

Again, I ask for your forgiveness.

[jdbrown371]

Good song. Very good. Plant didn't write it, of course, but he performs the "Carpenter" song quite well.

[fiifiikiitii]

it is very beautiful just like the girl in the video story....is that his granddaughter??

[smackyobitchup]

Film clip is annoying.

[ivalutz]

amazing !

[cri64italia]

se io fossi falegname....

mi ameresti ugualmente?...

...vorresti un figlio da me?????.......

[motorcycleboy1968]

outstanding version indeed

[Mygrassisblue01]

even though Tim Harden wrote this song, I was very very surprised that I like Robert Plants version better the Tim's.....go figure

[RezoKhoperia]

Gänsehaut!!! Great Robert Plant!!!

[Garick59]

Nice version of a classic song.

[alcoyot]

I love this version, the violins sound amazing.

[pandemonium1964]

Like that <3<3<3

[lubetube2009]

@syntholR4WinnersS

You'd know all about aids. How are those weeping sores you have fool.

[syntholR4WinnersS]

@lubetube2009 That isn't very lady like, but since you take up the ass by a nigger.U should be put down like a dog you bitch.

[lubetube2009]

Geez she looks young enough to be Robs daughter......

[mmm888777]

RIP! Tim Hardin.............

[mmm888777]

tim harding rip!

[misslanvin]

Beautiful version of this already beautiful song. Beautiful woman. But, it is done in a typically MTV format with this model-y perfect woman trailing after a self consumed aging rock star. Ugh. He stares at the camera more lovingly than he does at her. And she is not so shabby to look at.

[misslanvin]

He makes this beautiful and classic song even more beautiful. Wow, he has one sexy, unique and intriguing voice; age nonwithstanding.

[cri64italia]

Sembra che la mia amica uragano1000 mi legga nel pensiero......

Questo (tutto il cd) è un capolavoro

GRAZIE

Cri

[gillanchik]

who is that beautiful girl?

[gillanchik]

who is that girl? name?

[TheNigelr]

Who are the other musos on this?

Fantastic rendition!

[PEDROCLASSIC]

plant looks just like the way he was in 1977.

[mmm888777]

love hippies.. peace man!! xxx

[rockchick80s]

Thanks steelyman08 for sharing. Hadn't heard the original for a long time - still prefer Robert's version, and no worries I will keep your secret about not being a huge Zep fan - oooooops. lol

[JAVAJOESKI]

and this was post allison krause - he always had it in him - smile down johnny - he did you justice here

[AnnHattieAnn]

@ JAVAJOESKI, don't you mean PRE-Allison Krause? ... This was recorded several years before he did the collaborative Raising Sand album with AK. Just sayin' ...

[JAVAJOESKI]

@AnnHattieAnn WOOPS yes i did! get my pre & posts mixed up sometimes fingers move faster than the mind!

[AnnHattieAnn]

@JAVAJOESKI - *wink* (me too...with the fingers thingie...) lol

[StevesGirlxx]

my favorite version of this amazing song.

[kiwisheila]

beautiful version

[TheMechanick1]

beautifally done

[ANGELSVEN]

what year was this?

[meanwiddlekid]

Reverb into the next century.

[FIXIErider]

She is a hottie.

[1957mdb]

EVELYN AND GRANT HELLO

[mplm09]

almost nobody does it bad? but there are certain versions that transcend time.

[odinson64]

stunningly beautiful version

[jsothera]

great song, understated. lovely guitar x

[PEDROCLASSIC]

i love this song... thank you robert

[DCussen]

One of the few rockers that survived the onslaught of the MTV generation.  Pure greatness, continued. What a great album that was.

[MrRovinj]

This album with 29 palms brought me to zeppelin and Oh my God how I love plant and krauss too

[nancyzeetoo]

The Small Faces version is incredible. This comes off very dreary in comparison, and not in a Bobby Darin good kind of way.

[ZenSporty]

I am there. I will. I will be.

Not behind but beside you.

Saving the love for loneliness, Saving it for sorrow, Saving it all for tomorrow and forever for you. I will always - yes I would - I put you above me...Come find me..and sing to me ...my bird of love...wrap your warm wings around me...

[williamsondesign]

Who is the girl in the video?

[zebrafinkennest]

beautiful version, thanks for posting and 5 *****

[timsalmons1982]

This would've been a great zeppelin song. Oh, what could've been.

[mitzabaston]

Plant' s version is the best!

[xJayWalkerx]

check out Small Faces version , you might be pleasantly surprised!

[mitzabaston]

I did. Thanks for the suggestion. What can i tell you? I like Plant more.
