All My Love
Led Zeppelin · Definitive Collection Of Mini - Lp Replicas [2008]
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?
All of my love, all of my love, oh, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love, oh, all of my love to you, now
The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Arianne one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin
All of my love, all of my love, oh, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love, yes, all of my love to you, child
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind
All of my love, all of my love, oh, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, oh-whoa, yes, all of my love, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love, all of my love, love
All My Love
All My Love stands as one of Led Zeppelin's most tender and emotionally resonant compositions, showcasing the band's ability to blend hard rock with intimate balladry. Written by Jimmy song and Robert Plant, the track was recorded during the sessions for their 1979 album In Through the Out Door. The song is widely understood as a tribute to Plant's wife, Maureen, following the tragic loss of their son, Karac. Musically, the piece features a distinctive, driving bass line and a soaring vocal performance that highlights Plant's dynamic range. It remains a staple of the band's live repertoire and is frequently cited by critics as a defining moment in their later career, demonstrating their continued evolution and emotional depth without relying on the heavy riffs that characterized their earlier work.
