Robert Plant - Big Log

[CelticMoonDust]

New Mexico?

[rendilkraesin]

The Big Clue is at 3:04-3:15. See the Cat?  See the Cradle? (Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut) Here he is the seeker, the poor traveler, blown in on the wind, searching for the ideal love/destiny. His own conscious efforts and knowledge are almost futile, any impatience or assumption are stumblingblocks to his path, making him miss a potentially perfect encounter/destiny by mere moments. Still, he follows with all his heart, wherever or however it leads.

[rendilkraesin]

The "Big Clue" is at 3:07-3:15. See the cat? See the cradle? (Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut) This is about seeking the perfect destiny, the pure mystery of love. He is the poor traveler/seeker, blown in on the wind, his own conscious efforts and knowledge almost futile, perhaps just missing that perfect encounter by a few moments -- but always seeking, always moving on after it by any means possible, wherever it leads.

[thugsracing49]

i love the old 55 chevy...too!!

[DJBFilmz]

0:40 Repeat.

[spadgm]

[limabean13]

[Amymarado]

[mysticnetguru]

[MegaDreamer68]

[MsEvanthia]

beautiful.......



[MrRandyrocks]

Timeless song.

[Botterfactory]

I'm a fan of 80's hits and these hit from Robert is also 1 of my favourite 80's hits.

[thecarebearhideaway]

Ok Now! I grew up on Led Zeppelin and that band was always bad ass but I just really love Robert Plant's solo work as well. This song is just totally awesome beyond magical proportions. It has such a laid back feel to it. Whenever I put this song on, I can just lose myself in the feel of this song. One of the best songs to ever be in my opinion but Damn, this is a superb song here! :-)

[gcaeaglefan]

I wish he wrote something like this with Led Zeppelin...

[dualler]

Ahhh cancion culia'. Me mata!!!

[MrShmetel]

It's about his cock. His big, dense, road worn, desensitized, wooden cock. I think there's a girl in there somewhere, too. Music videos are the lowest form of art. They don't have to be, but they are.

[Sakuya727]

@MrShmetel You mean about his fucking SEXXXY HOT COCK!!!! Robert is SOOOOOO FUCKING GORGEOUS HE CAN DO ME ANY TIME ;)

[dantecamus]

@Sakuya727 you are so hot.. Take a shower pls

[Sakuya727]

@dantecamus Ooooooooo, then I'll be naked with Dove body wash foam all over me hehehehe ;)

[trevboy98]

so he is talking about being a lonely truck driver?

[sizzorgirl67]

someone please come and save me

[TheVoodooHighway]

I discovered this song when I was 16, during a foggy dawn before the sun woke up the city around... it's been eight years ago and still it's one of my all time favs for my sleepless night... I'm one of those lucky young dudes who can still catch the poetry and the love of those better years where music was music and not crappy plastic stuff for discomen...! THANKS ROBERT!

[led4acs]

@nothinglikeafender1

I was thinking more about the sleeveless flannel shirt and those awful tight stonewashed faded jeans.

[ravergurl69]

This song gave me chills when i was a kid...and it still does! Love that riff!!

[led4acs]

Great great song..... but his stylist should be drawn and quartered.

[tapeduk]

Another Great song from Mr. Plant's solo career--Love the Leading me on bit

[milehighnoise]

This song reminds me of driving to California from Colorado through the mountains and then the desert. I miss the days when gas prices were cheap...

[kokanee2010a]

@milehighnoise dude it is called minor key

[kokanee2010a]

@milehighnoise it is called minor key

[lurch321]

Am I the only one who thinks this kind of has a sadness to it?

[allthatgirlcoronado]

Reminds me of summer when swimming with my parents and siblings , having long drives , and hearing this on the radio. i miss those days

[pocahontas301]

having sex listening to this should be something..a kind of..a starway to heaven......

[TheBears03]

Good song to take a shit to....Big log!!!

[croydonsbest]

@TheBears03 thanks for the advise... going to try that....

[TheLightQueen]

Robert el mejor para siempre

[dictator54]

[MrNIO888]

[croydonsbest]

led plant

robert zeppelin

[orghu]

exelente......................­..........

[panzerrat]

Covered a lot of ground in my '69 Oldsmobile listening to this song and s few others like it. I wish now that I still had that car. I'd make tons of videos.

[Greychu1]

 ROBERT IS THE BEST

[Sakuya727]

ROBERT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING SEXXXXXXXXXYYYYYY!!!!!!!

[windgather1]

thanks uploader heard it on the radio today, a true classic, goes straight to the soul.

[vanhalen101492]

8 people's loves aren't in league with the freeway

[annyisit79]

@vanhalen101492 - good one  you got a way with words!

It is a great song that is for sure, I remember when this song first came out !

[ozzy45923]

super

[TheIllusionist95]

I'm glad I found the legend of rock!

[baldirishgod]

Love this ole goodie! Been the soundtrack to a couple 'o seductions for me...sexy-ass beat.

[edsonpereira233]

Amazing song!!!

[MrMattyHaze]

What a beautiful song.. Hes just a class-act thru n thru.. and Robbie Blunts guitar so perfectly serves the song. Again, i love how Robt Plant created The 70s Rock Gawd archtype (that so many tried to copy), and then abandoned it to evolve into an 80s Crooner.. instead of becoming a parody of himself, like so many of his peers. i count myself blessed to've seen him with Allison Krauss at Red Rocks, on the summer solstice.

[nidgybaby]

That car needs Chip Foose.....

[featherston16]

@nidgybaby - you poor thing -why don't you stay in front of the tv

[babyblue1878]

The Long Hot Summer of 83 :) Magical times!! How fab my life was at this time not a care in the world !! This song is perfect on EVERY LEVEL!! LOVE IT <3

[Isotec1]

kick back,relax and enjoy

[averageb]

Incredible

[Noovaa1]

Amazing !!!!

[ltsandes]

This is one of the most emotional songs i've ever heard.

Mr. Plant is one of the most charismatic personalities ever seen. I had the honour of seeing him performing live some 3 years ago, one of the greatest nights of my life.

It was like having sex in a dark room full of candlelight... this song is exactly this...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[marketmogul]

The Mark of the Beast Likes this song.

[rrbrown813]

He's referring to the log in his pants!! 

[pocahontas301]

@rrbrown813 well,now i understand why he walks that way!

[jewellers100]

My memory of this song is....1984 m friends and I were caught by the police on Durban's Beachfront (SA), Blue Lagoon for smokin weed. We were held at Point Prison. Next morning at around 4.am I woke up to this tune playing in one of the cop's car whilst lying on the prison floor. Best tune that ever happened to me. 

[ultragroove1]

Masterpiece album and departure for Plant.

[meeeee1968]

absolute perfection

amazing vocalist

lovely lyrics

stunning song

timeless !!!!!!!!!!!!

[samantha3165]

"...leading me on, leading me down the road. Driving me on, driving me down the road."

Oh yeah! good stuff! :0)

[MrWatties123]

this song is enpregnating

[MrWatties123]

this song is enpregnating

[samantha3165]

Does anybody know why this is called 'bg log' ??? Love the song, but can never work out why the name sounds like a massive poo! ;0) Love 2.09 especially! x

[sneller1985]

@samantha3165 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.

[samantha3165]

@sneller1985 Thanks for that! At last an explanation... never would have made the connection otherwise. :0)

[mjpsails]

@sneller1985 cool! And I just liked the sound of the words, til now.

[TheWestbrooke]

@sneller1985 NNNNNOOOOOOO, It;s the size of his penis. if you know Zeppelin, then you should know the myth of his cock size. That's where, "My love is in league with the freeway", comes from. as long as the freeway!!!! atleast that's what I heard way back when.

[samantha3165]

Does anybody know why this is called 'bg log' ??? Love the song, but can never work out why the name sounds like a massive poo! ;0)

[RaynorMarkson]

7 people have Log envy

[alivanov]

Amazing. It's a masterpiece. Robert is great as always. I'm missing such great music - it even can't come close to today's crap.

But, who the hell can dislike this?! Do you know the meaning of "taste", you 7 drunk idiots?

[emtasy]

There's nothing sexier than a man with talent, is there?! God he's gorgeous!!!!!!

[BuayaGuy]

I must've been too young to like this song when it came out...this video seriously would put me to sleep :) Now as an adult, I do like the riffs, but the video's still a bit too slow-paced for me.

[callmeshort09]

mmm the swimming scene. YUM

[whitefive]

yeah, this is one of those perfect driving songs to listen to; it helps clear your mind of all your troubles for that brief moment in time.

[Sakuya727]

ROBERT IS SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE AND SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXYYYYYYYYYYY!­!!!

[GeeBeeBlitz]

who's on guitar ?

best play i've ever heard !

[koolbreeze31]

@GeeBeeBlitz That's Robbie Blunt on guitar.

[croydonsbest]

perfect roadtrip music ... roll one and just drive and play this song till youre ears bleed

[daveygmp]

I want this played at my Funeral

[gorylatko]

Wanna see Justin Bieber's face after watching this masterpiece??? LOOOL

[sabino2007]

turn it up......HEADPHONES!!!!!!!!

[gorylatko]

Another masterpiece by Rob and ex- Zeps.

[adormaniac]

I love this song.

[bduhe219]

what an unusual sound for a rock performer...very spanish and takes you to another plain....very unusual..wonderful.

[guitarcrusin]

Robbie Blunt, the guitarist here, does such an amazing job... Robert Plant is a melodic genius, but Blunt brought this album it's distinctive, unforgettable sound with that clean soundin' strat... This song & the guitar solo for In The Mood , define what Plant's creativity was all about at the time....

[kiruzen]

@guitarcrusin Plant & Blunt Music! =)

[manxster]

why do American cars overheat so much...? ;-))

[peasblossom1973]

@manxster

Lolololol!!!! It's because of the way American's DRIVE them! =)

[pocahontas301]

@peasblossom1973 it usually happens when an Italian girl is around...

[zoso31196]

love this song. one of his best. how can people dislike it???

[peasblossom1973]

@zoso31196

Because people are 'Bieber-tards'.......that's why.

[zoso31196]

@peasblossom1973 haha music has gone SOOO downhill. none of its good nowadays. you got people like lady gag-me, and all that crap and then there's all the losers who consider it "good music." absolutely no one makes music as good as it was 30 or 40 years ago.

[DonovanSchmitz]

@zoso31196 There are PLENTY of great musicians out there. They just aren't out in the front of the industry as they were back in the days. Record companies are much richer than they were back then, and it isn't because of good music ...

[DazzaZulu]

I wonder if the song title is a metaphor.....this a great song. One of my favorites from the 80s.

[1BigDaDo]

This song brings back some good memories, cant tell u how much I still get goose bumbs from this song still !!

[bigal2761]

80's music still kicks ass, while today's music sucks ass!!!

[tuvan06]

@bigal2761 well said!

[capone379]

Reminds me of the good old days. It seems like a lifetime ago. I guess some of us were just lucky to be part of those days. Nothing will ever be the same. I wouldn't want to be a teen today.

[88mpny]

He just missed her.... D'oh.

[Aereolnorth]

unless you are as accomplished as Robert...then keep your comments to your self...RockStar doesn't come close to describing his work...and POOTRAP is right..this is awesome desert driving SHIT!!!!

[Rockywaves73]

@Aereolnorth not just a great song for desert driving....it's one of my faves while driving late at night...and God knows I did alot of late night driving in my 20s..lol. Funny how certain songs, to me anyways, really set a mood while driving late at night. Rush's "Ghost of a Chance" is another...Scorpions "Still Lovin You"...The Police "Walkin on the Moon"...The Doors "Riders on the Storm"...The Cult "Love"....lots of Pink Floyd tunes...many tunes I guess and we've all got our opinions.

[siliyemoodislam]

@Rockywaves73 California Route One Big Sur, my favorite road to drive and listen to this song

[JonnySeghezzi]

Great song. The complexity of the music drowns out Robert Plants lyrics though. Or should I say lack of complexity.

[pootrap]

This is desert road driving sh!t!!!!!!!

[sleehlove]

Great song...it makes me wonder old times!

[SparrowJack789]

<3 Love love love this song <3

[drewjb]

Im suprised noone has sampled this...kinda funky.

[mgruev]

ми такава ша е... кат не си поддържат возилата!:)-no puk e,Evala!

[TheSongsparrow]

It's pulse modulated strings from the jupiter 8 that make this song. Analog synthesizer, nothing can top it.

[artemio285]

me encanta su musica

[AFanofABBA]

I absolutely loved this song the first time I heard it. Why isn't great songs like this being made today?

[kevos65]

nothing short of briltastic...

[tmxmastr]

What a jewel of a song.

[fazermanbill]

THE ALL TIME BEST> THE GREAT ROBERT PLANT!!

[ANGLOSAXONHELLFIRE]

Eargasm !!!

[sianlovescats]

@ANGLOSAXONHELLFIRE And check out those tight little buns at 0.46, PHWOAR!

[DrinkWater6Family]

A great tune and Plant swimming in BVD's...a formula for a great but unusual video.

[bpoolbry]

just the best , fantastic

[MsRayan01]

6 dislikes???? you bloody toads

[sianlovescats]

@MsRayan01 I think they may have tripped over their keyboards and clicked the wrong key.

[ThiefofAlwaysNL]

@MsRayan01 And why do you search for the song if you don't like it...?

[eldorado61guy]

This has those 'magical' sounds as did 'Little By Little' and '29 Palms'.

[thomasjk46]

i remember dancing to this at a party in 1987, the guy looked just like rebus, and it was the first time i have nearly been shagged with me clothes on ......a horny song.

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

One of my all time favourite tracks.

[Zebonka]

This happened to me once.

[shibumiflowers]

Robert Plant is GODLY! Love this song, love all of these songs. Thank you for posting.

[mclinick123]

my favorite song of all time enough said!

[j91090163]

I still listen to this in the sauna. He proved he was good on his own. Wish he would get over his drama and go back to Zep. THEY WERE GREAT! No part is as ever as great as the whole. People like him on his own, he was a part of the greatest band of all time with others. Do it for the fans already.

[dikinyomouf]

This song gives me the biggest boner ever.

[sandriser99]

@dikinyomouf You mean a big log.

[Tohryo]

どうして　あやとり　しているの？曲調も演歌ぽいし。。

[dictator54]

i must agree zepplin changed the way of conventional music was of the time it wud of bin nice to see how it wud of turned out if bonzo hadn't passed

[lujusero]

[0j011]

I cant forget this song,,,, why??,, because i got laid at 18 and got me de- virginized!!!. we were both high and ,, wow she was just awesome,,,

[ElinaIsabel1]

The voice makes my heart skip a beat! 'nuff said! :)

[orden265]

Sends a shiver up my spine,AWESOME.

[MsThundercat2]

Yes. Totally agree. Great bass coming through my boom box. Thanx musichead. Great quality. As for Robert Plant - whatever comment I make is not good enough.

[rockhardxrocker]

superb video, great image and sound quality. Sound quality is most important though, and you nailed it.

[Strandnorebo88]

Dear Robert,

you had this unique touch of giving a good filling. You are one of my musical great singers. /HH

[arigg75]

One of the best songs ever!!!!

[RetroJenny]

Robert Plant is a genius. Thank goodness we have the music from the 70s and 80s to lift our spirits.

[bigjim10011]

this song reminds me of a big log i made the other day in the bathroom.

[92Csh]

How can someone not love american muscle? My guess is from not being from america or knowing anything about cars also.

[yoyichero]

what s the matter words sounds awesome

[turistmurat]

greatttttttttttttttttttttttttt­ttttt

[stuvonleanne]

this is one hell of a song. i love it

[tadeuszkrakus]

[megaAlexandra82]

i love this song...........

[BahalaNaWarrior]

Houston School 1983, Acampo Ca. Halloween dance ...yes the memories & when MTV aired this video with Mark Goodman & Martha Quinn that is when MTV was MTV.. not this bull they have now.

[wildturkey1960]

@BahalaNaWarrior I want my MTV... back.

[NLglennNL]

@wildturkey1960 money for nothing

[wildturkey1960]

@NLglennNL And the chicks are free...

[cjgonzales1]

What a guitar Robbie rocks. Robert can sing. The band is awesome. Good music. Enjoy. Enjoy with a person you love.

[TerryTahoe]

This song immediately snaps me back to the 80'st! At the same time, it is timeless. It reminds me of tripping in Fort Lauderdale... this song playing through my Walkman... as my eyes gently open with the glare of the sun and the Atlantic Ocean.

[lightningstrike4]

He even looks good in a mullet

[nuyawk55]

Can anyone download his song Far Post? It was the B side to the Big Log single.

[TABOO974]

la plus belle voix de la pop music Led Zep tu nous manques GREEEEAT

[903davesharonpoky]

Love that car!!!

[MRSSPLURGER]

Driving through Big log trees with this tune in the tape deck on Vancouver seahores with all my Musician friends who later performed for Mr. Plant (in Sweden) is always one of my best memories!!!

[pita4851]

(WOW) Love this song,,

[essertpitay]

A true rock star, there are only a few left...

[TheMechanick1]

fantastic guitar

[vettemuziekjes]

pieces of shit american car's....

[mare652]

@vettemuziekjes Sounds like someone is jealous

[vettemuziekjes]

@mare652 you got to be freaking joking me.

american cars suck ass.

[euphoritch]

@vettemuziekjes ja joh??....dodge viper......pontiac......chrysl­er..........escalade........ge­loof me ik weet zeker dat je een dikke pik krijgt van sommige amerikaanse auto,s,,,hahahaha ,,,maarja , evengoed is het jou mening en kan het zijn dat je er gewoon geen fuck aan vind, fijne avond beste landgenoot!!!

[tardwhisperer]

@vettemuziekjes-- They do now. American everything sucks ass. You know why? Because hiding behind red, white and blue colors doesn't change the fact that the heart's been ripped out of this country. There are those of us loyal to the old republic though. Have we forgotten the words "Give me liberty or give me death?" Oh how they underestimate the zeal of the broken.

[vettemuziekjes]

@tardwhisperer
