Robert Plant - Killing The Blues Lyrics
Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.
[Chorus:]
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I'm guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.
[Chorus]
And then you've ask me... just to leave you
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had.
[Chorus 2x]

Robert Plant Killing The Blues Comments
After meeting my grandson at 5 days old.Again before he turned 1,I spent 8 weeks caring for him out of state. And this song brings that love connection back to me ea. Time I hear it. Thank you!❤😘😘 We live 1600 mi. Away.
This song never gets old! So beautiful! I lost my partner October 9, 2019. This song rips my heart out!
From a Rock God to a Bluegrass legend
I love these two, but...listen to Aj Lee and blue summit do it.
english male and american female voice in folk-rootsy idea can be lovely. Here is a precedent from a few decades earlier, less polished and produced, but that's partly the point. The late, great Peter Bellamy, and Lisa Null. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwg2sdRdahM
calma e maravilhosa
I wondered what Rob Plant has been up to. Nice one!
Listen to his Band of Joy album - another collaboration with T-Bone Burnett. It's great.
@Valerie McKnight thanks I will.
Oh man. So many goosebumps. There's no power quite like the male-female duet. The adi & shakti, solar & lunar... just cosmic, divine.
Ty Sr in you lady for the beautiful song❤💖👍👍👍👍
Love Alison, love Love LOVE Robert Plant!
Never would have Imagine this Combo would work. Robert Plant, you are an Absolute Genius.
It So Work's and I hope they can find time to do it again. ✌️💖🎶🙏
They are so perfect together!!!
If I was given the choice of having only one song to listen to until I died......this would be it. Bless
Ty lady in you Sr great in 💘 SONG. 🌹 💖👍👍
Found this after reading a biography about Robert Plant. Am not a country music fan, but DAMN. What a lovely and unsuspected find...
Love this version best! ❤️
I'm glad Robert plant branched out musically and didn't do the old tired led zepplin stuff forever like some artists.
Hidden Gem pure bliss ...
Killing the blues. Yes Sir. X
Do you know what, Molly is round. Joyce talks of her feminine parts. She understands men, she loves them. Molly has lovers, her husband..Bloom..walks the four corners of Dublin because he knows of the affairs, it breaks his heart & he is avoiding going home to Molly. Molly has one particular lover who is windy, he just uses Molly for sex and has no respect when around her. Molly lets him go. She is forthright, not shy & enjoys the pleasure men give her. She represents the world, she represents every women. Bloom does return home to Molly, she decides she is better off with Bloom..they are comfortable together. He has a peculiar habit of sleeping at the other end of the bed with his feet beside Molly's face...everything is circular.. Bloom represents everyman, he is Homer's Ulysses..away from home after war & adventures, avoiding the Cyclopse, the one-eyed monster..ME I suppose..well I tell you this I am essentially shy..but sometimes I am not..as for being worldly..I wouldn't say that either.
Yawn! Oh be quiet with whatever it is you are tying to say
I've got to get this album!!
Leaves were falling just like embers
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Now I'm guilty of something I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Now you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find what I've already had
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
The whole album is gold.
This is the one Steve Massam liked
superb
could listen forever
Now I can die...doesnt get better than this..
So love this 💜
They are doing Rowland Sally proud. They won him a Grammy as writer
I've listened to every song these two did together. I go around trying to sing them for days every time I listen to them. I have never been a country music fan but Alison! My Lord, a goddess. I've been a Led Zeppelin fan since their first release, never thought I'd hear Robert Plant sing like this but I am glad I did. This collaboration was his idea and it's a gift to anyone able to hear. Bless Roberts vision and all who collaborated on this
It's not country
I totally agree! This collaboration is perfection.
Vicki, Frank didn't say this was Country, Alison Krauss is a Bluegrass/Country singer & musician
Album of the year. Memories. Greatness. The whole album.
How good is their harmony? They switch melody and harmony four or five times in each verse and unless you're really trying, you don't notice it at all. Remarkable.
T-Bone is indeed a genius. Don't underrate the guitar playing and arranging by Buddy Miller.
Buddy Miller did not contribute to the album, although he was in the touring band following it's release.
This beautiful song was written by Roly Salley, who is Chris Isaak's bass player. I always thought the bass mix in this version was too distorted though.
Bloody Hell.......this is so beautiful
Brilliant together
Plant singing harmonies..well i'll never. Bloody well too may it be said..
Two voices in perfect sync... =)
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS
Is it just me or does she look untrustworthy
It's definitely just you.
Is Alison Krause trustworthy?
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes...somebody said that they saw me...swinging the world by the tail!!! Killing the blues. Now, I am guilty of something ....I'm sure I'm guilty of something ....killing the blues
Vakker duett å sang
This is so calming, so serene
this is heavenly,not of this world,amen.unbelievable and im 65 yrs old heard a whole lot of music,im most content here,my opinion!swinging the world by its tail???indeed
Mother Judge does an excellent job with Rowland’s wonderful song also. Very heartfelt.
You want me to find what I've already have
The most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Me, too!
Everyone sounds better when singing with Alison Krauss.
But not everyone is Robert Plant
I love this version, although Chris Smither's is still the best.
how bout a cup of coffee folks and lets talk about it
Omg. I had no idea this was out! Two wonderful beyond measure. Thank you God thank you God thank you 🙏 God
Since 2009
This was beautiful. Both of the singers compliment each other very well.
Adding Greg Lietz on pedal steel was a master stroke. It gives the track a lovely wistful feel that compliments the two voices.
Thank you Cliff, Mr Lietz does not receive the real appreciation he deserves.
So so beautiful. Brings back memories of my youngest brother Dan who passed away
...bouncin over a white cloud...kissing the moon....
lovu,I wish you'd do harder things-alice n chains anthem to raise youth consciosness.all the things you wish to tell your grandkids-fight the good fight,love2 the earth,etc.us flower children are stl out here;)
This entire album is one of the best things I've ever listened to. It's one of those things I'll never get tired of hearing.
Esecuzione perfetta ed emozionante.
dammit!! :-)
What an awesome collaboration
fantastic harmony
I love this rock album.
Love...I thought i found true love....
Just when I think I can’t love plant more than I do.. then I hear this
The most beautiful lyrics in any song ever are these:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
....
Mij loved have kill himself ..this number will ever remember him for ever.......
I'm so sorry.
Isn't this a Chris Smither song? Loved his concerts.
These two are great together
drone,drone,drone
In a dream I am driving from Colorado to Texas through New Mexico and I pull into a bar in no where’s ville and get a beer and this song is playing on the jukebox. Over and over and over and it never gets old
Travisthehamster 👍🏼
Two Angels singing together ..😇😇
Love it 😍
A Heavenly combo epic song
This song is beautiful. Sung by beautiful voices. One of my favorites.
Thank you ladie for this wonderful performance. Continue to make us dream: http://countrynarbonneplage.clubeo.com/page/tribute-to-some-music-peasants.html
Two of my favourite performers! Lovely.
Fabulous pairing......
FFS, how do you give this a thumbs down and consider yourself a human?
seriously, the thumbs down for you was by me by mistake. Perhaps the thumb downs are mistakes. Also, I think maybe people that are used to other people singing this song might not be used to Plant and Kraus. Personally, I love it.
perfection
Adorable duo and sound.
Yeah, I've been doing too many drugs lately.
Hauntingly beautiful!
it is now
pure magic...if it ever was true
Bouncing over a white cloud ☁ ❤
How in the world did these two get together? Perfectly suited to one another, this song is as good as it gets. Oh, check out Robert with Patty Griffin, utterly amazing. the Radman
T. Bone Burnett is brilliant.
Beautiful ....
nice !
The deepest sadness with the most holt hardened regret.
Nice cover of a John Prine song
This song was written by Rowland Salley, although I believe Prine was the first to record it.
Luvin' it ! My kinda Music.
Union Jack love.
I to.guilty of losing my self in love.sad
Lovely.For my lost-forever love.
comfort food for the soul.
Winter made summer 2017: Killing the blues on a dismal week night in the era of the least reasonable man. This is lovely. Thank you.
Sometimes it's just the love of the music, nd the singers that are participating, i think they are from two different worlds, but not far apart at all ,we all do things when we are young, robert plant is making aminds and is a good man enyway, we all have a time,as for Allison just a lovely soul, has helped me tru some hard times, and i know there is a reason for it all . thanks gary block.
Alison Krauss, such a beautiful voice. Robert Plant, such an amazing voice.
My favorite version. (Shawn Colvin is a close second!)
Dennis S yeah,Shawn is my fave
Great song, written by Roland Solley, plays bass in Chris Isaak's band.
