Product Information

The Saving Grace filings are the only trademark applications ever filed by Trolcharm Limited or any other business used by Plant to run his solo career.

The lyrics to this version of As I Roved Out tells the story of a young man who rejects his true love and marries another woman because she has land. Robert Plant will release his first music with new band Saving Grace, giving everyone who purchases a ticket to the November UK tour a digital copy of the song “As I Roved Out”.This can make it difficult to differentiate between different songs, which are distinct but have the same title.

Plant hasn’t trademarked his own name, either, unlike Jimmy Page who does own trademarks to protect his personal brand including his name, his autograph and the word “ZOSO. The presence of trademark filings don’t always mean that the trademark holder will actually launch the product or service they have the trademarks for. It’s a common ending to these kind of songs, with the girl left disappointed and with her reputation tarnished. An earlier version was first printed on a broadside of around 1810 with the title Maid and the Soldier.Moore described him as a “travelling singer from the old tradition that has now died out – the kind of man who travelled around passing on stories and songs”. Other songs with related themes, such as The Butcher Boy, end in tragedy with the broken hearted girl taking her own life. Sometimes it’s because he is already married, sometimes it’s because he loves another but often it’s simply because he likes being single. Plant has never taken out trademarks for his solo projects before, making this an unusual step that could indicate longterm interest in the Saving Grace project. Irish folk music abounds with songs about young maidens “giving” themselves to rakish men who then abandon them the next morning.
