Watching You Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Fredzep 

Cover art for Watching You lyrics by Robert Plant

I think this is about the desire for love and guilt for how it has been treated. Then in the middle Plant ruins the song by inserting some Indian chanting. Great song though! One of Plants BEST!

Song Meaning

Oh dear, well there\'s no accounting for taste. Re Robert Plant: Watching You. When Plant decided on inserting a sample of Siddi Makain Mushkin in the song \'Watching You\' he played a masterstroke. Not only did it take the song to another level, he created the best ten seconds of the entire album.\r\n\r\nOh and by the way, just in-case you want to edit your own post, it\'s Arabic not Indian. Pip pip.

@Fredzep dude, his wife was east Indian and this song was about the Loss of their marriage due to the death of their young son. In fact this whole album is about how their love fell apart after his death . drugs drink and cheating and his guilt and regret of it all. The east Indian chant is beautiful.
