I’ve come to realize Robert Plant’s solo career gets an A+ for effort and quality. This song is every bit as good as Zepplin songs. At the time, I bought the albums, but thought of it automatically inferior. I was wrong
In the early 2000’s I bought a shit box cheap Nissan has my first car and the previous owner left a mix tape/cassette in it with this on it and I was hooked
What the fuck does it even mean? I'm going insane at the inverse relationship between how senseless the lyrics to this song and how good the song actually is.
OMG!! I haven't heard this since probably 88. But when I put it on, I knew it had some enormous significance to me. I closed my eyes while I started dancing and I swear I felt like my loving husband who died of cancer 9 yrs ago was holding me in his arms, kissing my neck, lifting me up and then I remembered.............So special, so real, so intense. Am I sad now. Of course. But the tears are worth being able to relive something that I can never experience with him again in this life.
@@thomasfitzsimmons897 Definitely one of most important and influential rock vocalists, but the category "musician" paints with too broad of a brush. Page would be a more realistic choice for "important" considering his musicianship (including what extends beyond LZ), compositions, arrangements, production, and studio engineering. So much more than just a great rock guitarist. However, him and Plant together (along with Bonzo and Jonesy) were the perfect storm.
@Mark Given that Jones is a multi-instrumentalist, his credentials and record as a musician are at least as much so, if not more so, than with Page. That said, Jones, Page, and Bonham have all had great credentials for musicianship.
@@GaryBall-vb2jk I don't understand what you mean about the speed. The video running time here is not shorter in the 1080p resolution than the officially released length of the audio track when I play it on my laptop. On a phone 480 would suffice but I mostly use a laptop with a 3840 x 2160 display. 480 streaming would look like to me a transmission from Pluto.
I saw Robert Plant on this tour in 1983 in Buffalo, NY. The Firm opened up. Robert said, we're going to do something we haven't done in a long time. Jimmy Page came on stage, played the first few notes of "Black Dog" and the whole crowd lost their minds. They played Led Zeppelin songs for the rest of the tour, but I was so thrilled to be there for that moment. Truly glorious.
@@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ Google Robert Plant Jimmy Page Buffalo 1983 and get back to me. The performance was so electric and the fans went mental. they did it for the rest of the tour.
The 80s weren't perfect, but compared to 2022, they were heaven. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones make this crazy world that we are living in today a little saner. Just wished John Bonham was still around.
Jimmy Page is so great that he could make a squeaky door sound melodic and beautiful. This may have been one of the only times that he collaborated with Plant during the solo years. Great song!
In addition to all the collaborations on records that others mentioned (Honey Drippers, Tall Cool One, Outrider, etc.), they also played together in concert a few times during those years (after LZ and before Page & Plant). Everyone remembers Live Aid, but I saw Page make a special appearance during a Plant show on the Little By Little tour.

DARKSTAR they are not zep fans like you or me they are probably millennial snowflakes who think it's ok to aborted babies full term and get sex changes
I absolutely love Robert Plant!! This guy sings from deep within his soul, you can hear and feel it! He is truly a Masterpiece. I thank my Father for raising me on only the best music
Little fun fact: Robert plant didn't write this song - Phil Johnstone , David Barratt did. Also People seem to have no idea of the hole meaning of this song , but its about(IMO) one older guy that keeps meeting soulless young men that are like dolls out to use him in anyway shape or forum, just like he is doing to them. I'm also NOT projecting here, I'm not gay, not looking to be, have no problem with them doing their thing, but have studied the lyrics tying to understand the meaning of this song and came to the conclusion that, yes its about being an older gay (rich) in the mid 80's and getting used himself in the pursuit of he's lust.
Ive heard of Led Zepellin 20 years ago. Never actually started listening to Robert Plant till few weeks ago. Holy freaking that Plant is a very classy rock musician. 1
My mother is 65 and she showed me your music since I was little, oh! We admire you so much we always talk about your voice, blond hair and beautiful movements, as time passes, this reality is incredible, being able to breathe, live and share .. Thank you for your wonderful music I dream one day to see you live with my mother .. Affection and many hugs from Costa Rica ❤️ we really Love you Robert
Between the wandering in the desert, the hair, the vaguely "biker western" costumes with the bold color palate, and band attempting to look cool while not playing their instruments - and in particular, the drummer banging on a single tom with a mallet - it is the quintessential late-80s music video. It is absolutely marvelous. Made that much better by Plant's truly vivid over-the-top lyrical stylings. "You were pumping iron as I was pumping irony" and "With all the romance of the Ton-Ton Macoute" are simultaneously two of the greatest and most ridiculous lines in rock.
2:35 Guitar solo by JIMMY PAGE! I can't believe I'm just now diving into Robert Plants solo material. 11 studio albums. Loving what I'm hearing so far on this album.
Oh for sure, I bought the album when it first came out. I can say this, with all sincerity, you'd be hard pressed to find one bad song, in all of his vast, solo career!🤷
Chin up Robert plant is of the emotional I have everything he’s ever made and recorded I’m so sorry for your loss 😢keep Roberts sounds near u he is a healer ❤
Always loved this song , still at my age of 62, I was 30 years old when it came out! Robert Plant, you rock, always, from a fan born in Puerto Rico, living in the USA now.
Billy’s revenge we had a bootleg of from the la show and it was completely the best song of the night! Bass line just kept goin As plant took his vocals all over the place. I saw that your also in Vancouver:)
I saw them on the "Plant Page" tour just a few years after that one, Jason Bonham was drumming, it was basically Zeppelin and it was unbelievably Awesome too!
@@Georgia-Vic I've never seen Page, that must have been awesome. I really wanted to miss each of the guys from LZ , when I saw Plant, but Plant was SO good. I didn't miss them. His band was so good. I'm really glad you got to see those two together. I'm sure it was great.
@@johnniehoney6561 Thanks JH it was an important time in my life when I got to see a band such as them. I grew up listening to LZ and that concert Brought it all Home like the song said lol. Jimmy Page did an awesome job when he was with the Firm. Listen to the album that has "Radio Active" and "Satisfaction Guaranteed". I saw the Firm with Paul Rodgers on vocals and JP in the "Midtown Music Festival" in Atlanta GA in April of 2001. Other bands that day were "The Allman Brothers" and "Seven Dust!"
Brings back memories. The late 80's had some damn good music despite being stereotyped as being nothing but glam rock. Rush was out supporting hold your fire at this time which I saw live with Tommy Shaw, triumph just had recently release two solid albums including sport of kings, Boston had released 3rd stage a year before, damn Yankees etc. Wish I could go back and relive those days.
I used to visit jane richards in fulbourn hospital in 1988. There was a patient there called liz. Everytime she saw me she used to say i should listen to Robert plants music . I thought why , he's past it , not my generation. Anyway she kept up with this , so l thought ok I'll buy his album " Now And Zen." And what a surprise !! Listening to the first track " Heaven Knows " Great stuff. I loved that track ( for reasons you hopefully understand by now.) The whole album was great. " Ship of fools " as perfect a song about the Father in heaven as I've ever heard. I guess lizy has passed away by now. Thanks lizy l owe you. Michael xx🌈🎵.
Saw Plant's 88 tour in Costa Mesa,CA at the Pacific Amphitheater. Great show. Page, unfortunately wasn't there. Doug Boyle, Plant's guitarist on Now and Zen filled in quite admirably.
I have been listening to Led Zep since I was a Child. I can tell you that they only get better and better with age. No Rock Group could ever=Led Zeppelin. No Man can ever mimick "Robert Plant"! Musical-Geniuses only arrive once a Century. How blessed are we, to be Born, during the Centuries of "ROCK LEGENDS, LED ZEPPELIN"? PeaceOut from Canada. 🇨🇦✌️🎶🌬❤️🇬🇧🕊🌎💫
Summer of 88'. Just graduated high school. Had a beach house down at the Jersey Shore. One of the best times of my life. Was already a huge Zeppelin fan. This song and the cassette was blaring all the time. Doesn't get the credit he deserves for his solo stuff.
Precious Hearts, when I saw 'now and Zen' I realised that this is for all the tears that have ever been shed, and all the tears that will ever be shed. The Universe is VERY Big and VERY SMART!! We. Love. You. Lots. Too, Gaia!! 💛💛
This should have been the song for “The Living Daylights” !!! Maybe with a tweak in the lyrics to fit the movie better, but the music is perfect for a Bond film! Man, I was so little in the 80s I wasn’t aware of Robert plant, discovering his solo work is such a gift!!!
Heaven Knows by Robert Plant, both the vocals and music are very hypnotizing and mesmerizing. The complicated love story between Robert Plant's character and the female model in this music video makes for some very enthralling viewing.
I admit that I became intrigued by this Heaven Knows song by Robert Plant after I unexpectedly hearing it on an online radio station less than 7 days ago. The vintage rock music vibe and superb vocals made me curious to check out the music video, fascinating to see music video to the Heaven Knows song interconnected to a musical story of some beautiful woman drawing the music narrator in during one of his travels.
33 years ago! Wow! Remember when I got the cassette of this album, wore it out!! the whole album is kick Ass! There aren't many musicians, song writers as this guy any more. He also plays a mean harmonica. Much love}!
I haven't heard this song in decades, but today the line "With all the romance of the Tonton Macoute" got into my head, and I had to look up this video.
Let me in in YYOUR HAVEN,DO LET ME IN!(impossible to be here where I am TRULLY),so little to say that adoring you is A BIG SEGMNET FOR ME TO BE AKIVE!!!
This is another great song and video, of Robert Plant's. I love him. And it is refreshing how open-minded, and flexible, Robert seems to be, especially when it's about honoring and respecting other people's nationalities and heritages. He is just a good man all the way!! It looks like he studied these people, and incorporated that into this video, with everybody working together. Thanks for another excellent meaningful video, Robert Plant. 🎨🎬
I have two people I wanted to meet in person as a bucket list. Robert Plant and David Gilmour. Neither will ever happen. Robert Plant put out the best music in the 80;s. To this day I listen to these songs. AMAZING!

Of all of his solo albums...I think Now and Zen is his best....IMHO
It is RP in his solo prime
What the actual fuck? Why can't I stop listening to this song? Is it because it's so damned amazing? Heaven knows, I guess
Why, yes , that’s EXACTLY why ✌️🫶😶🌫️.

Me neither
It's basically a re-write of Kashmir and quite hypnotic at that!
"you were pumping iron whilst I was pumping irony..." THAT'S a freaking line y'all.
Still, better than "skin on skin let the love begin" Lol...
@Zhefff HurrnklleIt Doesn't, Just saying it's better than...there are some lyrics out there that are worse. exhibit a.
@Bon Scott I actually kinda like that line from Women by Def Leppard. I'm generally more fond of the guitar playing than the lyrics in that song.
What the fuck does it even mean? I'm going insane at the inverse relationship between how senseless the lyrics to this song and how good the song actually is.

Been listening to him since 1969.The sexiest rock star voice of all time.
Better late than never.
Welcome to plant
Me too, one week in crazy

The song on which Robert Plant finally regained his old voice. And I fucking loved it then and love it still.

I always loved the line about pumping irony!

Oh how life must suck for Robert Plant to be the most beautiful Human Being, and voice, on planet Earth? All that attention! I'll bet it's depressing.
@RobertPlant-c3t And You are Very welcome Robert. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
@RobertPlant-c3t I have been a fan for over forty years, and I am from somewhere in New England. Thanks for asking.
Always loved this song , still at my age of 62, I was 30 years old when it came out! Robert Plant, you rock, always, from a fan born in Puerto Rico, living in the USA now.
Hi Lynn hope you're okay?
Guitar solo is f'ing PERFECT.
DAVID SHORT of course it is...it's Jimmy Page:)!
You bet
..my buddy wrote this song ..he played his cassette demo constantly..
So happy that Robert gave him the opportunity to produce the album 😇
Awww... the days I spent rewinding this cassette in my car down on A1A Ft. Lauderdale Beach!
That brings me back. In fact, wasn't Robert Plant the first concert at (then) newly built Miami Arena touring in support of this album back in 1988?
Peaches Records and Tapes days on Sunrise Blvd before you hit US1
Me too, Ft Lauderdale strip back in the day. Wonderful memories
The Lamborghini dealership too @@andretv2308
" heaven knows" this man is gorgeous
What can I say It’s HEAVEN KNOWS!! One of the best songs of all time!
I saw him in concert the year Now and Zen came out. Best concert I've ever been to. His band at the time was unbelievably great.
Billy’s revenge we had a bootleg of from the la show and it was completely the best song of the night! Bass line just kept goin As plant took his vocals all over the place. I saw that your also in Vancouver:)
I saw them on the "Plant Page" tour just a few years after that one, Jason Bonham was drumming, it was basically Zeppelin and it was unbelievably Awesome too!
@@Georgia-Vic I've never seen Page, that must have been awesome. I really wanted to miss each of the guys from LZ , when I saw Plant, but Plant was SO good. I didn't miss them. His band was so good. I'm really glad you got to see those two together. I'm sure it was great.
@@johnniehoney6561 Thanks JH it was an important time in my life when I got to see a band such as them. I grew up listening to LZ and that concert Brought it all Home like the song said lol. Jimmy Page did an awesome job when he was with the Firm. Listen to the album that has "Radio Active" and "Satisfaction Guaranteed". I saw the Firm with Paul Rodgers on vocals and JP in the "Midtown Music Festival" in Atlanta GA in April of 2001. Other bands that day were "The Allman Brothers" and "Seven Dust!"
I saw zeppelin in 1979 best concert ever hands down @@Georgia-Vic
Anyone remember BACK..........when video's actually had a story to tell within them!?!? Well,THIS was one of them!!! Fabulous song,Fabulous video!!!
Brings back memories. The late 80's had some damn good music despite being stereotyped as being nothing but glam rock. Rush was out supporting hold your fire at this time which I saw live with Tommy Shaw, triumph just had recently release two solid albums including sport of kings, Boston had released 3rd stage a year before, damn Yankees etc. Wish I could go back and relive those days.
What's wrong with glam rock--David Bowie, New York Dolls,Alice Cooper--etc--All great
I go back and relive those times almost every day. They can't take my memories away. Well,.......
I used to visit jane richards in fulbourn hospital in 1988.
There was a patient there called liz. Everytime she saw me she used to say i should listen to Robert plants music . I thought why , he's past it , not my generation. Anyway she kept up with this , so l thought ok I'll buy his album " Now And Zen." And what a surprise !! Listening to the first track " Heaven Knows "
Great stuff. I loved that track ( for reasons you hopefully understand by now.) The whole album was great. " Ship of fools " as perfect a song about the Father in heaven as I've ever heard. I guess lizy has passed away by now.
Thanks lizy l owe you. Michael xx🌈🎵.
Awesome.....just awesome.
Now and Zen....
I discovered Plant's solo albums a couple of weeks ago! AMAZING!!!!! Can't stop listening!
You know who on lead guitar, one of his best solos.
You're right abut that.This is in my top ten Page solos.Especially the outro!
Saw Plant's 88 tour in Costa Mesa,CA at the Pacific Amphitheater. Great show. Page, unfortunately wasn't there. Doug Boyle, Plant's guitarist on Now and Zen filled in quite admirably.
A poetic genius musical genius brilliant man
His lyrics are incredible!
With all the romance of the Tonton Macoute 🥰
You were pumping iron whilst I was pumping irony. One of my favorite lyrics ever.
So true! I had totally forgotten about it until he just sang it out. Love it.
What does it mean?
He is a genius. Then I suppose anything goes.
Robert like Bowie always shoots for the deep human roots of mysticism and music, sharing the all of life with all of us.
I have been listening to Led Zep since I was a Child. I can tell you that they only get better and better with age. No Rock Group could ever=Led Zeppelin. No Man can ever mimick "Robert Plant"! Musical-Geniuses only arrive once a Century. How blessed are we, to be Born, during the Centuries of "ROCK LEGENDS, LED ZEPPELIN"? PeaceOut from Canada.
🇨🇦✌️🎶🌬❤️🇬🇧🕊🌎💫
Good to see Robert getting some re recognition for his solo era
How could anyone not be enthralled by "Heaven Know"? The harmonies, the haunting melody...
Summer of 88'. Just graduated high school. Had a beach house down at the Jersey Shore. One of the best times of my life. Was already a huge Zeppelin fan. This song and the cassette was blaring all the time. Doesn't get the credit he deserves for his solo stuff.
Always loved this song, and most of his solo 80s output. I remember his videos getting much airplay on MTV.
Histrionic. Love Robert Plant and all of his music,since the beginning
One of my favorite albums of all times. Right next to anything Alan Parsons. But I'm a Gen X'er so I love lots of music!
A very 80s track, but still hauntingly cool Robert Plant played.
LOVE YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST AMEN 🙏 ❤
For Robert Plant?
Precious Hearts, when I saw 'now and Zen' I realised that this is for all the tears that have ever been shed, and all the tears that will ever be shed. The Universe is VERY Big and VERY SMART!!
We. Love. You. Lots. Too, Gaia!!
💛💛
Hi Lea hope you're okay?
Robert plant is the bomb
Sidney Garcia right
Got that right
This should have been the song for “The Living Daylights” !!! Maybe with a tweak in the lyrics to fit the movie better, but the music is perfect for a Bond film! Man, I was so little in the 80s I wasn’t aware of Robert plant, discovering his solo work is such a gift!!!
This is one Robert's best
Awww man but just past midnight here. Happy birthday Robert, you'll always be a favorite ❤
Wow, how EPIC this song is!
Another amazing song from the mighty and mysterious 80s.
Heaven Knows by Robert Plant, both the vocals and music are very hypnotizing and mesmerizing. The complicated love story between Robert Plant's character and the female model in this music video makes for some very enthralling viewing.
I did not realise Jimmy played lead on this track, but now I know its so obviously Jimmy.
I admit that I became intrigued by this Heaven Knows song by Robert Plant after I unexpectedly hearing it on an online radio station less than 7 days ago. The vintage rock music vibe and superb vocals made me curious to check out the music video, fascinating to see music video to the Heaven Knows song interconnected to a musical story of some beautiful woman drawing the music narrator in during one of his travels.
Hi stella hope you're okay?
Thank you Robert for your musical mentality, for what you have given to your fans, and for your love for my country Morocco ❤🎶🇲🇦🇬🇧👍
Роберт Плант - красавчик! Обожаю. ❤
One of my all-time favorite songs. Always play it still after all these years. Pages guitar solo is so great in this!
Such a great song, loved it when I was a kid. Still holds up. Plant at his exotic best!
33 years ago! Wow! Remember when I got the cassette of this album, wore it out!! the whole album is kick Ass! There aren't many musicians, song writers as this guy any more. He also plays a mean harmonica. Much love}!
Plant and Page are musical geniuses.
Heaven Knows By Robert Plant Is My Favorite Song. this masterpiece is The Greatest Song In Robert Plants Catalog.
Now and Zen! Great CD!
Absolutely.
maintenant et toujours super zen superbe cd
Thank-You Robert for all the wonderful music & memories!!
I haven't heard this song in decades, but today the line "With all the romance of the Tonton Macoute" got into my head, and I had to look up this video.
Another Masterpiece from Plant.. this guy is so amazing! ❤
Let me in in YYOUR HAVEN,DO LET ME IN!(impossible to be here where I am TRULLY),so little to say that adoring you is A BIG SEGMNET FOR ME TO BE AKIVE!!!
This is another great song and video, of Robert Plant's. I love him. And it is refreshing how open-minded, and flexible, Robert seems to be, especially when it's about honoring and respecting other people's nationalities and heritages.
He is just a good man all the way!!
It looks like he studied these people, and incorporated that into this video, with everybody working together.
Thanks for another excellent meaningful video, Robert Plant. 🎨🎬
Back in 88 this was one of my favorite songs of the year :) Feeling very happy listening to it again :)
Hell Yeah! That's what I'm talking about Rock God Rober Plant.
I have two people I wanted to meet in person as a bucket list. Robert Plant and David Gilmour. Neither will ever happen. Robert Plant put out the best music in the 80;s. To this day I listen to these songs. AMAZING!
