I can’t stop weeping due to his beautiful rendition

There are few good versions of this song. Tim Buckley's original is one. But for me, the version which made it astonishing, magical and transporting was Elizabeth Fraser's haunting rendition in 1983. Robert Plant's is the third. There are no others which compare.

you can feel Roberts compassion during the solo. Amazing man and artist.

deep deep version plant did it in his way excellent

This is beyond beautiful. One of the best performances of Robert Plant's career. Simplicity yet perfection, and one for the ages. Thank you Tim Buckley for writing this magnificent work, and thank you Robert Plant for doing it such justice.

sung with true passion for the beauty of the lyrics and emotion of the song. RIP Tim and Jeff :(((

Seriously, just revel in the beauty of this song and people singing passionately with all their hearts. There is no need to be analytical about who's version is better or worse. Enjoy and love it all.

Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was forced out Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow Oh my heart, Oh my heart shies from the sorrow" Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death, my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you"

His friend was on shore with a boombox while Jeff was swimming away in the river while singing Whole Lotta Love.

There are many beautiful versions of this, but none matches the beautiful simplicity of Tim. Tho you can't deny Robert loves this song and Tim. This has been one of my continual favorites since the day I bought the album decades ago. I lost the album, and almost cried when I found it on YT. I'm thrilled to know it is stilled loved by so many people.

Robert Plant’s interpretation of Tim Buckley’s lyrics is simply... perfection.

I love this version,so beautiful!!

That sound he makes with his voice at 5:31... pure emotion beyond words.. It reminds me of The Rain Song, after the line "I curse the gloom that set upon us, but I know that I love you so".

I dont care how cool or uncool it is to like robert plant. this is a really soulful rendition. the man is spot on. that's a great arrangement as well with some interesting dynamics. I wish Tim would have known how much he was dug in his lifetime.

thank you Robert ,this is a very touching... thanx ♫ ♥

superb..suits roberts voice perfectly

Such a soulful & heartfelt rendition by the incomparable Robert Plant. This most beautiful song haunts me as I go thru my day. Not in a bad way but I find myself singing it. I consider myself blessed to be alive in the same era as him!

I dig it, it's been covered by so many great artists, I think Plant does it justice.

Robert puts his heart in this, it gets me crying 😢 he does a great job on this song ❤

First time I heard Robert Plant sing this I was 14 4nd cried my eyes out. It is so moving. Listened to the other renditions by other musicians but just didn't do it for me like this version

My favorite version..What a gorgeous song, & man...

am I dreaming....on the rocks. why is love so beautiful, yet, so painful?! thank YOU for this sweetest of shares!

He does the song more than justice...you people got ears???? best version ever.....!

Best singer ever meets best song ever - hallo......

It's a tender, endearing song. You can't sing it without your heart jumping out of your chest and innocently circling the head of your beloved love.

Most beautiful song I ever heard in my live...

Robert paying homage To Tim & Jeff !! Also a big Arthur Lee (Love) fan !!

This is so moving- other worldly. Sung only the way he could ❤️❤️💕🥰

I heard this beautiful song a few years ago, sung by Edan Everly, son of Don and nephew of Phil Everly. Don and Phill have now sadly passed away, Edan has quite a repertoire of wonderful songs, sung with such emotion, including this one, my favourite.🙋🏻‍♀️ but I still enjoy the Tim, Covers and Robert Plants beautiful version..

Tim and plant are my favorite vocalist so this is amazing

Jeff B. admired Led Zeppelin more than almost any other band out there. He was even said to be singing "Whole Lotta Love" in those last seconds of his life. How much this tribute would have meant to Jeff. :)

We couldn't have more different opinions.. I think its fantastic and absolutely brilliant how Robert Plant covered this song and added so much emotion!

When one learns and sings The Song To The Siren, one gets taken by the song, in a way no other song seems to accomplish... There is something alluring about the whole piece, its frequencies, its cadences and the sheer beauty of the poem that became Tim Buckley's song. . Elizabeth Frazer did a remarkable job of covering this, a song so suited to her individual style of singing, likewise a perfect fit for Bob Plant. Well done !

Волшебный голос!!! Долгих лет тебе Роберт!!!

This is lovely. There are many great versions of this song, and all that I've heard are heartfelt and sacred. That's the mark of a truly great song.

OMG I just love this song. Brings tears to my eyes. Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. Had to stop painting my pic. 😪💔

soulful voice. so beautiful. melting my heart

Absolutely beautiful. I have listened to this so many times!! By far the best interpretation of the song.

Tim Buckley is Jeff Buckley's dad sadly they're...both gone...Tim debuted this song near the end of a Monkees episode...you know, the one with the "frotus eye" taking over televisions?....rest in peace both father and son...Tim and Jeff

Phenomenal!!

Grown up & growing old together....thanks for sharing your vocals & life with us!🎶💙

Gorgeous.

Brought tears to my eyes. You feel it in your heart, so so beautiful ..........

Lovely cover . Robert bring his touch for a wonderful song . Acoustic version . I appreciate the style

We love this song. Love hearing it. Love singing it.

Thank you for sharing. Great cover.

BEAUTIFUL!!! xxx

his voice singing these lyrics must be what it feels like to take your first breath while exhaling you’re last.

This reminds me why I started playing music. Like so many others Led zeppelin was a foundation to the exposure to the world of preforming music. Robert has always been a one in only type of singer.

Great song, thanks for very much the upload.

nice job mr. plant

Only Robert can sing a song like this, hauntingly, heart and soul exposed❤. Tears I my eyes, heart beating ...what a rendition. 🙏🙏 ❤💕

U Gooooooooooood 🚀

Yet another wonderful version of a wonderful song

Brilliant !!!

With headphones =perfection

WOW...this is fucking great..i love Jeff Buckley and its so cool how Robert Plant decided to sing this ..amazing

Got me crying in the library, thanks. That was friggin beautiful!

Bellissimo omaggio a Tim Buckley.. questo dimostra la sensibilità di Robert verso chi ha avuto meno fortuna di lui ma che scriveva cose bellissime (pur essendo un padre orrendo)..ennesimo tanto di cappello a Robert, uno che ha amato la musica dentro... Tim avrebbe sorriso sentendo la sua canzone cantata da Robert plant... grazie ad entrambi

Staggeringly beautiful!

Tears...so beautiful.

Excellent rendition. Mr. plant just doesn't dissapoint

Love this man and his music!!

yes U knew this reminded me of a certain feeling ...just like The rain song .....so Deep and Beautiful .....just what we yearn for .

Stunning. Any more words are superfluous.

I didn't have the pleasure the chance to see Jeff Buckley live either his fater due to the circumstances, but i had the Amazing, thrilling, beautiful chance to see Plant last year with his theatre tour. Was one of the best moment ever ever had. He's a kind of sciamano and we were all fascinated and amazed by his voice... which recall in my mind the Jeff Buckley one. The incredible thing and bit funny is tha Led Zeppelin were the best Jeff Buckley's band. a weirdo circle... 💖

Loved it! Just a different style. I don't tell an painter how to paint and I would not tell a musician how to sing.

Best cover of the Best song 💘

Reminding me of Niel Diamond ❤

This version brought tears to my eyes.

Love this Robert! ❤ 🤟

Every version of this song I have heard has been amazing. This is yet on more great version, Plant's voice is in the moment. Is it even possible to do a bad version of such a brilliant song?

I was reading the comments while the video was loading and I actually was waiting for some catastrophic version of this beautiful song, but I really liked Plant's version, of course is not like Tim's but it was nice :D

Absolutely amazing Robert is so passionate about every song he sings.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you!

Hauntingly beautiful

Beautiful cover. To compare his voice to his work in the 70's or to Tim is ludicrous. Apples and oranges. Loved it.

Wow, Brians accurate rendition and the use of the band for drama works really well. Authentic . Love it.

Beautiful song. Reminds me of my Dad who used to play it a lot. :)

Just beautiful .

VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...

Robert sings it in the Elizabeth Fraser (This Mortal Coil) style. Very nice.

Questa canzone è un capolavoro! E chiunque la canti rimane sempre un capolavoro!

Man that brings joy and love .

so beautiful

Congratulations to Robert Plant!!! You've made an excellent song absolutely POO!

Beautiful...

Plant is the best.

Beautiful.

UNA DELLE PIU BELLE CANZONI CANTATA BENISSIMO DA UNO DEI MIEI CANTANTI PREFERITI, ciao Tim

this is so beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful 🌹🌹🌹🌹❣️💕💙💜🥰😍💗

I got here via Paul Heaton, Jackie Abbott, Elizabeth Fraser. Love this version. Very moving ❤

Grew up with him, still love his voice.

Nice take on this classic. Very emotional.

beautiful homage

One of my all time favs... Like his version best - especially this one from Storytellers. Lest I forget: great guitar player!

Just beautifull.....

Indeed. The sign of a brilliant songwriter is that other artists can perform it & make it their own, forgetting who wrote the original.

Beautiful cover. The string section really added a LOT to this.
