Ship of fools was a term for folks who refused to accept or seek wisdom and change. Dont sail this ship brothers and sisters. Strive for peace love truth and beauty. Love you
Doug Boyle's guitar playing on this is superb.had the chance to get to meet him round Maurine's house back in the early nineties.and a great collaboration of writers. Robert is great.
When this album came out in 1988 I was 14 and I bought the cd I was a Zep fan so I ran right out. The thing that struck me the most about this album was the amazing engineering, I had never heard something so crisp and clean, every instrument standing on its own at a high volume.
I think I was 26 or something. Honestly, I can't remember .. but remember chilling & traveling northern Queensland in my suzuki jimny... life was free then.
My father was a Marine first and then was a jet engine mechanic in the Navy, a Vietnam veteran and my hero. He was the son of a sailor and became a sailor and still to this day he talks about this song.
"Ship Of Fools" On waves of love my heart is breaking And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore New tides surprise - my world it's changing Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown I built this ship - it is my making And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore I know why - I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground Who claims that no man is an island While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees I walk this shore in isolation And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me I know why - I know why Crazy on a ship of fools Crazy on a ship of fools Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --
Ive seen the sultan sea and had a log of miles you couldn't believe... If you could feel this song radiate in time with the sun on the Colorado river... Feel the redwoods breathe around you... Stare into that vast expanse at the grand canyon... Drove the hiway 1 and touched a tire into the ocean at Pismo... This song has guided me everywhere ive been...
Funny you should ask. I remember when this tune hit. 84 I believe. Back then I was 21. And a Zeppelin fan, who appreciated Robert Plant having a solo career, doing his own thing.
Vinyl* and keep that wrapped up in a special casing.....that will be worth money one day. And you're so lucky to have one of the originals mediums if music 🎶 ❤
Never will forget when this album came out... and this song, especially, has stuck with me ever since... (what amazing visuals here)... this song feels So Relevant, So Pertinent to These Times... just re-visiting it tonight.
It's not JUST that this is a stunningly lovely song -- it's that "hunkatiel" has created the most wonderful visual panorama, that complements and ornaments the music. Thank you, so much!!
I always thought that this era of Robert Plant music was the perfect and natural transition from Led Zeppelin. Retained a lot of that mystic vibe that Zeppelin always had so much of.
Love this man's voice !!! My all time favorite classic rock singer!! If and when he passes an I'm still here oh what a Sad day for me 😢 Great video, Thanks.

As I get older, the words of this song are steadily making more and more sense.
Strange how that works huh??
Ditto. Just thinking the same🤟
Yes , I feel the same way.

So true..
Favorite Robert Plant song , one of my top ten of all songs actually
What are the other 9
Tears of joy. Many memories resurfaced listening to RP. The 80’s were the best of times.
Beautifully said.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This song is sooo under rated. It struck me the first time I heard it and it is still one of the most beautiful songs I know.
Ships of fool by Robert Plant is a great song whit a beautiful video great living legend.........
Great video ..lotsa cool images. Goes together well.
My father was a Marine first and then was a jet engine mechanic in the Navy, a Vietnam veteran and my hero. He was the son of a sailor and became a sailor and still to this day he talks about this song.
A true artist he is. One of the best and still getting better.
Robert Plant does not get the credit he deserves for being a great lyricist and poet. This song is an example of his brilliant writing.
"Ship Of Fools"
On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing
Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well
Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Who claims that no man is an island
While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --
Ive seen the sultan sea and had a log of miles you couldn't believe...
If you could feel this song radiate in time with the sun on the Colorado river...
Feel the redwoods breathe around you...
Stare into that vast expanse at the grand canyon...
Drove the hiway 1 and touched a tire into the ocean at Pismo...
This song has guided me everywhere ive been...
I have stood at Sultan sea. Drove for six months. Everywhere. I feel what you feel.
My favorite Robert Plant tune. Phil Johnstone & Robert wrote it, what a collaboration!
Great video & song. His vocals are epic!❤
Great song from the best Lead Singer ever.
Who's listening in 2019? Awesome singer. Awesome video!
Not me.
Yes me
Never stopped listening to Robert Plant. Best album since the end of Zepplin.
Funny you should ask. I remember when this tune hit. 84 I believe. Back then I was 21. And a Zeppelin fan, who appreciated Robert Plant having a solo career, doing his own thing.
I'll still be listening to this when I'm... In My Time of Dying.
I still have this amazing album in vinil.
Vinyl* and keep that wrapped up in a special casing.....that will be worth money one day. And you're so lucky to have one of the originals mediums if music 🎶 ❤
pure guitar magic in this one
Great song.
Never will forget when this album came out... and this song, especially, has stuck with me ever since... (what amazing visuals here)... this song feels So Relevant, So Pertinent to These Times... just re-visiting it tonight.
Its epic...deep and mystical
Such smooth music. Robert is a classic master in his ownleague. He puts on a awesome show
Excellent images to go with the music,I ghostwrote this song and others 1987 in hopes re-uniting Page/Plant ,the greats,and it worked,glad to say.
This song is a MASTERPIECE.
**Agreed**
...brilliant
Robert plant is the greatest singer. What a voice!
Anne-Louise Holmberg
Freddie is
Ok. We have different opinion.
Anne-Louise Holmberg
Yeah☺️
Anne-Louise Holmberg
But Freddie is something else, magic voice 😛
A classic.His voice is incredible!
The voice remains the same, his recent traditional folk material is great too!
Perfect as they could make it .He deserved a least that
Awesome song from a legend in his own time, wish he never got old as well as everyone else.
It's not JUST that this is a stunningly lovely song -- it's that "hunkatiel" has created the most wonderful visual panorama, that complements and ornaments the music. Thank you, so much!!
I always thought that this era of Robert Plant music was the perfect and natural transition from Led Zeppelin. Retained a lot of that mystic vibe that Zeppelin always had so much of.
Robert Plant is a legend in his own time. His voice ,his songs.
One of the greatest songs of all time. Came into my head today for some reason out of the blue and had listen. Thank you!
I made a playlist for you ROBERTO CLEMENTE FLORES and this song is on it - I love and miss you brother ✝
Classic rock never gets old
That clean guitar lick with the reverb and modulation is pure liquid goodness
That voice is magical. RP is simply
Amazing.
Refusal of Led Zeppelin reunion this flashes you back to the days of great music
