I thought this was called "All of My Love?" (Notice the "of")
I have seen both, but as long as both can reach this page, it should be fine-- unless Jimmy Page of someone edits this page.
I see the genre listed as soft rock. Is it really? I know it's softer than the usual Zep record, but I'd class it more as a hard rock ballad. The radio stations seem to agree with me: I've never heard this song on light rock stations, but I've often heard it on hard rock and classic rock stations. marbeh raglaim 23:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. Nothing wrong with just "Rock". Crud3w4re 05:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
It's sure as hell not Progressive Rock, as someone labelled it. AznWarlord ( talk) 00:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
the song can fit in more than one "Genre". Genres are not concrete. The group Led Zeppelin was a hard Rock band in general with a large direct Black Blues influence as stated by Plant/Page. This particulars song, a Ballad was "soft' enough to be played on non Classic Rock stations. Is it Rock? Yes? Pop? Yes. Soft? Yes? Ballad? Yes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghoul922 ( talk • contribs) 00:56, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
I never understood this line: "Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain." Anyone have any ideas what this means? 71.251.20.173 02:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe the writer is a proud Aryan? I don't know. Crud3w4re 05:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Robert Plant wrote All of My Love in memory of his young son who had recently passed away. It contains an image of weaving a thread through time, and the endless thread as immortal life. The invocation of Ariane (Ariadne), who gave a thread to Theseus so he could find his way out of the Labyrinth, spurs him back to his weaving, back to creation. His son, gone, is now a feather in the wind. prosperocaliban April 2014
I always wondered if this line was for his wife, Maureen? She was of Indian descent. Aryan is often used to indicate people from India. I know that she soon gave birth to another son. Maybe Robert is saying he needs her to give him the will to father another child. I have read he struggled with tremendous guilt feelings as a husband and father after the loss of his little boy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bartola13 ( talk • contribs) 06:53, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
At about 2m50s in to this song, during the synth sol, there's a point where he hits two notes almost at once. I don't have a finely-tuned musical ear, but it sure sounds like a mistake - hitting two keys instead of one.
Does anyone know the history behind this? - JBazuzi 17:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
This song also has the notorious "squeek" by John Bohnams's bass drum pedal. He was a Ludwig endorsement guy and those pedals were notorious for squeaking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.138.143.216 ( talk) 16:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
I think All My Love is referencing Penelope's lament for the return of her husband, Odysseus.
Odyssey: Penelope waits and weaves laertes death shroud at her loom by candle light, never planning to finish her work of course. That would mean she had to choose a suitor, by her own promise.
All My Love: "Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light To chase a feather in the wind Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight There moves a thread that has no end. Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight There moves a thread that has no end.
For many hours and days that pass ever soon the tides have caused the flame to dim At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom Is this to end or just begin?"
Odyssey: Penelope often struggled with her inner self. She felt that Odysseus was still alive but she couldn't be sure. She dreaded choosing one of the suitors, but was preparing herself to do so.
The "feather in the wind" is probably Odysseus himself. Poseidon blows him all over the sea.
All My Love: "The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again One voice is clear above the din Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain For me, the cloth once more to spin "
Odyssey: The suitors sit and toast in the Penelope's din. She returns to the loom.
Wiki: "Aryan" is an English language word derived from a Sanskrit and Avestan word meaning "noble/spiritual one".
All My Love: "Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time his is the force that lies within Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find He is a feather in the wind "
And she waits, saving her love for Odysseus.
The first sentence says this song is the penultimate (which means "2nd-to-most", not "most") on the album. What, then, is the ultimate song on the album? (Or, as is more likely, that's a mistaken use of the word).
-Penultimate is usually used to mean "second to last." Joe routt ( talk) 04:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Robert Plant and his Band of Joy played this in April of 2011 at the Santa Barbara Bowl. This was said to have been the first performance of this song since Led Zeppelin played it in Germany in 1980. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.230.189.211 ( talk) 02:40, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

@ Mlpearc: Anzar describes it as "very pop rock with light accents of reggae" (he uses bold for the genres – it makes them easier to spot). He doesn't appear to mention symphonic rock or progressive rock. The Williamson ref that was removed describes "underpinned by a semi-classical arrangement" (Shadwick calls it "cheesy"), which like Thiery's "reggae" doesn't rise to the level for inclusion as a genre. The two refs that were removed specifically state "love ballad". "Pop rock" is so broad, it is of little help. (Note that Infobox song uses class=hlist, so it doesn't need to be added again). — Ojorojo ( talk) 19:45, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
@ Rlendog: Hey again. I see that the sleeve showing individual photos of band members is supposed to identify a promo release. However, I checked discogs and don't see the promo releases using the artwork. While the photo uses the "ATCO" label, I checked other sources ( rateyourmusic, vjez, eBay, blog) using the Atlantic label. Can you confirm the authenticity of the sleeve? Do you think those sleeves are possibly fake? Thanks. -- George Ho ( talk) 19:55, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
@ Thisbirdhadflown: Hello. How did you obtain this sleeve having the ATCO logo? George Ho ( talk) 21:46, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
@ George Ho: Apologies for the late reply. I cropped the image from somebody else's upload on Discogs which has since been replaced. As for the authenticity of the sleeve, I am not sure. https://www.discogs.com/release/7857053-All-My-Love/images/update Thisbirdhadflown ( talk) 22:52, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
