To be exposed in all my strife
You gaze upon my troubled life
But it don't bother me
What you see

You take my name and hang it high
You paint my picture with colored lies
But it don't bother me
What you do

You twist my words like plaited reeds
To mark your gain and help your needs
But it don't bother me
What you say

What truth is told of who I am
Shall break the silence of waters calm
But it don't bother me
Who I am

But if you were a beggar boy
You'd sing of riches you could enjoy
But it, it don't bother me
What they are

I'm a thinkin' now, I'd rather hide
Or turn my back or stand aside
But it, it don't bother me
What I do

'Cause it don't bother me

Have You Seen the Stars Tonight? Would you like to come on up to A deck and look at them with me? 



I think that is Jefferson Airplane's best song.  it's a beaut.

If I could imagine an angel’s voice, it would be like Alison Krauss’. 

Everything I have to rate min. a 10-
because of her, because of him.
And their collaboration!
Please fix the artist credit. It should be Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

Originally by Bert Jansch
My wife and I attended the "Raise the Roof" concert in The Woodlands TX back in April.

I suppose everything is an acquired taste, but this concert was magical for me. These two artists' voices blend perfectly, and the band altogether was incredible.

Never got to see Robert Plant live as part of Led Zep, but I thoroughly enjoyed this mellower, more introspective version of a bona fide rock legend!  

--And Alison Krauss .... an angel in both voice and form....

Again, we see Robert Plant's picture when the singer is Alison Krauss.  Bill, please fix that on their combined albums.  Thanks.



I actually quite enjoy picturing Plant hitting those high registers and doing both vocal tracks on this set all by his lonesome: especially with the current picture where he's got a little smirk on his face.

I'm guessing this is a parsing error in the code for the webpage.  The album art says Robert Plant | Allison Krause.  That '|" in between is probably being parsed as a line break

Anyway, very nice song as always from these two!

My wife and I recently attended one of  the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss  "Raising the Roof" concerts, at an outdoor venue in Texas. 

It was a magical night! Fantastic band, wonderful weather, and the kind of singing/harmony/musicianship that  makes the back of your neck tingle! I love Alison Krauss, and it has been a bucket list item for me to see Robert Plant (I was a little too young to see him / Led Zeppelin in their heyday,...)

If you like these two artists, I highly recommend going to one of their concerts.

I see what you did there.

Is the artist here really just Plant - shouldn't it be the duet, Page & Krause?



I concur! Strongly.

Love it but does it remind anyone of a Bonnie Prince Billy song?  Just curious.
I went to see Robert and Alison in concert, so I like their duet a lot ... but this song doesn't really do it for me. I don't hate it. But it's just a 5 for me.
One of the nicest additions to pop-rock-folk music these years , thanks to R. P. and Alysson Krause, great. 
Name: Robert Plant - yeah his involvement here was limited as Ms. Kraus handled all of the heavy work… lets give the credit for the song to Bert Jansch as well. Robert’s ego is big enough would want him to pull a Mr. Waters

thanks for posting that.  Good to know where this music comes.  Just checked out him and Johnny Marr live.  Couldn't understand a word from Bert...but good to know the original.  Cheers.
I like it

They did this last Saturday. AWESOME!

I absolutely HATE this song for some reason, I think its the lilting, whining, vocal style. Love the artists, hate the song.

Robert Plant has some good clapping chops!
What a voice she has!
Haunting, eastern music feel! Mantric! I love it!

Something of a comedown vs. the first, T-Bone directed album, IMO.

So what you're saying is that it does bother you?

BERT JANSCH !!!who was highly respected by Robert 
Expertly crafted new life for a Bert Jansch song.
Robert in name only here
lovely, sweet vocals. 
Haven't heard anything from this album that I don't like to some degree or another.
Understated and interesting, IMO; and what ethereal interval is that harmony at?! Just don't think about Walk Like an Egyptian. Sorry for putting that in your brain.
Good tune, will definitely be checking out this album.
Plant: it’s a pandemic. Gawd I am bored. Krause: Let’s record an album. Producer: let’s tint a Google image of the Prater Ferris Wheel in Vienna on the cover. This is a bit bland compared to some of their other stuff, In my opinion. Just sayin’
