Digging Deep, The Robert Plant Podcast - Carry Fire
I also listened to Carry Fire episode again (Series 2 Episode 5). It is mostly about the Sensational Space Shifters, their music collaborations, exotic instruments and so on. However, at one point Matt Everitt asked about the lyrics. Sorry for the mistakes.
Robert Plant: *talking about Oum Kalsoum, the notations of people from another world playing in different skales*⌠I think weâve all in Spaceshifters sort of moved into that zone always quite often from⌠And, I guess, in my case, from⌠probably from Zeppelin III onwards. The adventures and the mining camp(?), you know, Iâve always been there. Thatâs what it is. Itâs just part of the thing that makes me⌠it is emotive and it is some feeling of awkward satisfaction when you get to the end of something like that. âCause itâs certainly not 'she loves youâ, you know. But itâs poignant and it has a sad thought of an old heart.
*playing âI carry fire for you / Here my  naked hands / I bare my heart to you / If you will  understand / Just like, just like, just like I scar youâ*
ME: Thatâs a beautifully romantic lyric. Itâs⌠I donât know what phrase Iâm looking for. Itâs the pain of 'I will, I will do this for you, I will do anything for youâ. What did it take? Thatâs, once again, maybe Iâm reading it wrong, I donât know.
RP: No, Iâll do. I will do, yeahâŚ
ME: What can you tell me about the lyric?
RP: Thatâs it.
ME: *laughs*
RP: Really. You know, observations of life and⌠damage.
ME: But you maintain your romantic heart?
RP: Sadly, yeah. Be better to go, to been gone. I think it was something, was substantial.
*start talking about the Sensational Space Shifters again*
ME: But also, I mean, is this Sensational Space Shifters, is this, this is not a door thatâs closed, these are not people who you are not be bringing together in the future ongoing.
RP: Of course, it is, yeah, everythingâs ongoing, I mean, and everybodyâs ongoing, itâs, and weâre all going in the same dance really. We will be playing now. And then we have to think about how we say the next thing, and how we craft that. And these two collections of songs have been pretty, for us, itâs all about for us, the music. *and so on about the music*
I've just realized that it's autumn, spring and summer on the tour posters (in the chronology of the tour dates). I didn't pay much attention then because Europe was ignored and now I'm like, "Oh... Oh, OOOH"
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind, they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch
We all must hold
