Plant, Robert - Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us Lyrics






Strange things are happening everyday
I hear the music up above my head
Though the side of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above

Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like ive lost the love ive never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above

Standing in my broken heart all night long
Darkness heald me like a freind when love was lost
Looking for the land thats hidden in the cross
The finders love
I know I loved you too much
Ill go alone to get through

I hear rosetta singing in the night
Echos of lighting shine like stars after there gone
And tonight shes my giude as a girl on the moon
With the music up above

Plant, Robert Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us Comments
  1. v.... ....

    I imagine a ghost,arising after a long slumber,and slowly dancing through the graveyard ,then slowly fading away as the night ends , disappearing back into her tomb , as the dawn begins a new day - wonderfully atmospheric music.

  2. A.... W....

    Love this

  3. v.... ....

    T-Bone Burnett... Sam Phillips... Robert Plant... Alison Krauss... how could this not be magical?

  4. T.... 5....

    Lovely amazing song, voice like an angel

  5. A.... K....

    I've always loved Sam Phillips

  6. A.... K....

    How enchanting

  7. S.... C....

    I used to listen to this all the time as a teenager and it suddenly came back to me out if nowhere. I'm glad I found it again.

  8. T.... A....

    nice Tango

  9. S.... P....

    просто супер !!!👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹

  10. K.... L....

    Beautiful tribute to Sister Rosetta Hitt

  11. R.... D....

    My version of how I think Elvis would have sang it, maybe in one of his movies.

  12. H.... A....

    Eastern Europe meets the Wild West, love it!

  13. A.... ....

    Dystopically wonderful.

  14. K.... K....

    Why no credit for the string player? Is that a low violin or a viola?

    K.... K....

    Alison Krauss on violin

  15. A.... S....

    Genius. https://youtu.be/dl0e7rFUVEw

  16. F.... S....

    This song has a distinctly gypsy vibe to it and I love it.

  17. M.... R....

    Beautiful

  18. a.... ....

    the verses and her voice reminds me of mary hopkin on those were the days lol

  19. c.... b....

    Is banjo player Noam Pikelny ?

  20. T.... N....

    If everyone had a theme song this would be mine. Loved this since it came out, love Sr. Rosetta too.

  21. C.... C....

    22 people need to see a mental health specialist

  22. R.... F....

    would love to find a backing for this song

  23. K.... W....

    I wonder if Robert has ever been a fanboy before , quite sure he came out of this as one.

  24. 1.... ....

    Sir Robert Plant....

  25. P.... G....

    they should know... they ripped her off

  26. N.... D....

    Sister Rosetta Tharpe brought me here.... guess i better go look for her "Strange Things" song.

  27. J.... S....

    From one of the greatest albums, IMHO, of the last 20-30 years. The Grammys blow, but they got it right in awarding this one album of the year

  28. Z.... W....

    fucking EPIC!

  29. a.... b....

    Me encanta esta canción!! :)

  30. c.... p....

    This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. The music reminds me of an old country western movie with dry desert and tumble weeds.

    c.... p....

    You need to listen to the music of the person who actually wrote this piece, Sam Phillips :)

  31. W.... ....

    The real Sister Rosetta Tharpe brought me here.

    W.... ....

    Yup. Glad I'm not alone! lol
    Gotta be honest, I'm not impressed with this song

    W.... ....

    so glad someone still around old enough to remember

    W.... ....

    well the song is an tribute to her so I’d hope she would have brought you here! 😁

    W.... ....

    @Steven Farago Music has it's own memory.

  32. F.... S....

    SOMETHING QUITE MYSTICAL & A BITE UNIQUE BROUGHT ME HERE ☯ Love, Peace & Mysterious Creatures ☯

  33. G.... C....

    Did Sam Phillips or Alison Krauss write this song?

    G.... C....

    Sam Phillips

  34. 6.... ....

    цыганочка же

  35. j.... h....

    Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  36. c.... l....

    that's an amazing song. I heard it in the movie belge The broken circle, love it!!!!!

  37. R.... M....

    Robert Plant from Led Zepplin and Alison Krauss? How bizarre. I really like this one song, "Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us".

  38. B.... C....

    Beautiful song. Alison's vocal quality is outstanding on it. Robert Plant couldn't have delivered it to make it sound like that. I think he was right to let her take the lead on that one.

  39. S.... M....

    came here for Robert plant

  40. G.... D....

    This song is one of the most magical and also supremely poignant songs I have ever heard....! Straight from the Divine realms... my favorite song at the moment... it's like a Gypsy procession through the skies.... and the past and whatever else.... a dark forest leading to a mysterious center.... brings out the poet in me as well...!

  41. V.... R....

    It is a tribute to the producers of Ray Donovan that they find music this exquisite and point us in beautiful new directions. It's a tribute to Alison Krause and Robert Plant that they uncovered the music of Sister Rosetta and revived it for new generations. People with terrific musical sensibilities on both fronts!

  42. M.... F....

    I love Allison with Robert. Sheer beauty in the music.

  43. G.... 3....

    Robert Plant brought me here.

    I don't give a flying f*** who Ray Donovan is.

    G.... 3....

    *high five* :)

    G.... 3....

    I even don't care who that Ray is

    G.... 3....

    good for you

    G.... 3....

    Sam Phillips brought me here.

  44. j.... f....

    Sigrid Rausing : thank you so much for introducing this song on Desert Island Discs last week : it's wonderful.

  45. a.... c....

    Literally adore this song....thank you Sigrid Rausing...

    a.... c....

    +anna chern Yes, I heard this on radio 4 earlier and fell in love with it, beautiful

  46. P.... S....

    Sam Phillips & Sister Rosetta brought me here :) X

    P.... S....

    Without both, we may never have known Rock and Roll in the way we do now, so instrumental were they.

  47. M.... ....

    Such a beautiful and eerily paced song.

  48. J.... B....

    ray donavan !!

  49. S.... H....

    For some reason this reminds me of an Eastern European folk song. Think Dr Zhivago, couldn't you see Tonia play the instrumental part on her balalaika? Seriously it's a great song. :) Anybody know when it was written?

    S.... H....

    It was written by Sam Phillips just a few years ago. Around 2008.

    S.... H....

    Saime Higson. A balalaika is a Russian instrument.

    S.... H....

    Sam has come a long way since the 80's.

    S.... H....

    A Balalaika is used in Slavic as well as Russian countries. If you're going to be pedantic at least do your research.

  50. M.... L....

    freaking beautiful

  51. D.... ....

    yup.. ray dohnavan

  52. A.... ....

    Me too, Ray Donovan!

  53. C.... P....

    Oh, thank you, Ray Donovan!

  54. J.... S....

    Ray Donovan - S03E07.

  55. M.... Y....

    Ray Donovan brings me here!!!!!

  56. M.... F....

    Just like many others, Ray Donovan brought me here. I've never heard such a beautiful voice and song!

    M.... F....

    You need to listen to the music of the person who actually wrote this piece, Sam Phillips!

  57. H.... K....

    Ray Donovan S03E07 - Ray Ray!

  58. �.... �....

    perfeito

  65. g.... ....

    Esta canción está muy perra. Especialmente el ¿banjo? con un tono gitano yeah!

  66. P.... ....

    I love the way Robert Plant has reinvented the way he presents the Zeppelin classics. He surrounds himself with great musicians/ innovators. He was a very big part of Zeppelins sound, and is proving himself as a very gifted musician and arranger of music. He's out lasted the rest, and has not lost his vision Rock on.

    P.... ....

    Pilgram Mr Robert Plant has Not been with Zep for a long long time

  67. S.... H....

    So beautiful song !

  72. e.... c....

    something understood brought me here

  73. B.... D....

    An excellent album and this song is....just delicious!

  74. J.... W....

    Squirting som tears, no gonna lie.

  75. m.... t....

    Well done! I just love the way his voice harmonizes with the instruments. Sometimes I really have to listen to tell if it's him or not.

  76. L.... ....

    Perfect.

  77. D.... G....
