Product Information

Led Zeppelin never won a Grammy Award; Jimmy Page and Robert Plant earned their first trophies in 2000 for "Most High," a song they wrote together that explores the role of religion in society.

I think all of this goes on and persists because actual equality means a lot of folks who have outrageous stuff will have to give some of it up.

Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The verse lyric came from having done cheap gigs around the country with my previous band Cafe Society, and driving back through the night from places like Scarborough and Rotherham.

The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. Robinson wrote the song between leaving Café Society in 1976 and forming the Tom Robinson Band the following year, at a time when he was performing with whichever friends were available on the night; thus, the song had to be simple enough to learn in a few minutes.
