Hmmm...would you be willing to go to Robert and state this opinion? :)  I
haven't heard "Walking" yet, so I can't comment on it.  But I don't really get
the impression that "When the World Was Young" is supposed to be lighthearted.
Nothing dark and brooding, either, just a love song.  But I don't see Plant
getting into the "let's write about the lighter side of reincarnation" mood on
this one.  I dunno, I just don't see it.  Anyway, what do you think of the
album in general?
