Robert Plant and the Sensational Shape Shifters are touring the UK in the Autumn. They are very good and I would highly recommend. They throw in quite a few Led Zep songs, including the one above :-)

Hi Loranga, I thought that your quote sounded familiar, however after a while I've given up on it and googled it :shock:
Must admit that I've never heard of the song, so no surprise that I couldn't think of it :fsbgrin:

I've also given up and googled it. Unsurprisingly, I've also heard of the singer, but never heard that particular song.

It may be time to put us out of our misery and post another song, Loranga.

As you are one of our venerable leaders, I nominate you, Paul V., to restart this thread... :)

Meant to put a clue about this up the other day. Not Neil Diamond - sorry Barbara.

Solo artist (global) and these are the opening lines of the song - although not one of the artists biggest sellers.

Let's limit the options a bit more - it's not a male artist :-)

I was also thinking it might be Ed Sheeran. Is it a recent song?

As soon as I put Ed Sheeran, I thought "actually it looks like something Adel would sing" :-)

OK - let's put a bullet in this one. The song is called: All I ask.

Someone else is welcome to put the next one up...
