Written for his wife at the time, Maureen, it says the heartfelt things that we often find difficult to express, and it came at a pivotal time for the band.

    Robert Plant composed this beautiful song about happy love, a few years later he would write another love song with a completely different meaning, full of pain and suffering...both songs are beautiful and moving, Plant is an incredible lyricist. Thank you for this Janda! ❤

    The loss of a child is devastating. It puts an incredible strain on a marriage. Many happy marriages can not survive it. 😥

    One of the things I like about your channel is that it introduces songs I may have missed along the way. I had never heard Thank You, and paused to play it. Glad I did. Enjoyed the rest of your video even more. Another cry fest.

    Wow...I had no idea of the story behind the song. I was just watching a video by The Professor of Rock, where he said "The Rain Song" from "Houses Of The Holy" was the first ballad, after a challenge by George Harrison that they do a ballad. I disagree, and "Thank You" seems so much more of a ballad. Thanks for the story.

    Plant and Page’s meeting seems as if it was just fated to be.
    Page had gained loads of experience at a very young age as a session musician and as a guitarist with the Yardbirds; he was looking to form his own band when Plant and John Bonham were recommended to him by Terry Reid, the man whom he was trying to recruit.
    Reid chose not to join the band because he had other commitments; he and his band - Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers - were just about to go on an American tour, backing the Rolling Stones and so he recommended Robert Plant to Page instead. And picking up John Bonham as well made it a double bonus.
    Page’s brilliant guitar 🎸 playing needed a strong, charismatic front man. And in Robert Plant, he found one.

    A comment she said about Paige playing a 12-string which was unusual for him that doesn't make any sense just saying 🤔
