Video hit Robert Plant

Robert Plant - Big Log

Big Log is a song by Robert Plant from his album The Principle of Moments, released in 1983. It was the first single from the album and became his first Top 40 solo hit, peaking at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song also reached number six on the Billboard Top Tracks chart.

Bassist Viktor Krauss recorded a cover of "Big Log" on his 2004 album "Far From Enough". Krauss's sister Alison, who would record the album Raising Sand with Plant three years later, sang lead vocals on the track.

The song is featured in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V on the in-game radio station Los Santos Rock Radio.

The video for the song was filmed on location in various areas around California and Nevada, including the Amargosa Opera House and Hotel in Death Valley Junction, the Calico Ghost Town Regional Park in California, and the Glass Pool Inn in Las Vegas, which was demolished in 2004, and in Crystal in Nye County, Nevada.

The lyrics:

My love is in league with the freeway

Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by

And the tail-lights dissolve in the coming of night

And the questions in thousands take flight

My love is a-miles in the waiting

The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock

And the secret that burns and the pain that grows dark

And it's you once again

Leading me on

Leading me down the road

Driving me on

Driving me down the road

My love is exceeding the limit

Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles

Distance and longing, my thoughts do provide

Should I rest for a while at the side?

Your love is cradled in knowing

Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come

Sensing too well when the journey is done

There is no turning back, no

There is no turning back, on the run

My love is in league with the freeway

Oh, the freeway and the coming of night-time

My love, my love is in league with the freeway
