It is the springtime of my loving – the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing – so little warmth I’ve felt before.
It isn’t hard to feel me glowing – I watched the fire that grew so low.
It is the summer of my smiles – flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain’t so hard to recognize – These things are clear to all from
time to time.
Talk Talk – I’ve felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought YOU would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us…
But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion – I seek the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient – Upon us all a little rain must fall…It’s just a little rain…

“The Rain Song” is a love ballad of over 7 minutes in length. Guitarist Jimmy Page originally constructed the melody of this song at his home in Plumpton, England, where he had recently installed a studio console. A new Vista model, it was partly made up from the Pye Mobile Studio which had been used to record the group’s 1970 Royal Albert Hall performance and The Who’s Live at Leeds album.[1]
Page was able to bring in a completed arrangement of the melody, for which singer Robert Plant composed some lyrics. These lyrics are considered by Plant himself to be his best overall vocal performance.[2] The song also features a mellotron played by John Paul Jones to add to the orchestral effect, whilst Page played a Danelectro guitar.[1] John Paul Jones played the low end string part on a real cello, partly bowed and partly plucked. He had earlier played cello and did string arrangements for the Yardbirds with Jimmy Page on the album Little Games when he was a session musician.
George Harrison was reportedly the inspiration for “The Rain Song” when he made a comment to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, about the fact that the group never wrote any ballads.[3][4] In tribute to Harrison, the opening two notes are recognisably borrowed from his ballad “Something.”[3]
The working title for this track was “Slush,” a reference to its easy listening mock orchestral arrangement.[1]

I don not own any Led Zeppelin songs or pictures.
LED zeppelin never seemed like they derived from the late 60s and early 70s
yet they did. They always gave off a other worldly sense or vive about
them. They never sounded like they ever belonged too any time period
partically. Its as if time doesnt exist or pertain too them. If they are
not from another world or are not gods. Then they surely show a great
abundis of god like power and un earthly presense about them especialy in
there image and more so in there music. A band like no other! The
fasination with this band is there musical lore and sense of myth and
mystery. Where they became a legend pouring endless phrases of literature
and culture from there fingertips. Bound and tide too the act of musical
creation itself giving it a relm of divine emmortality. Led Zeppelin the
most guarded and unexplained musical mystery and secret of the world. Gods
of music they must be and a legend in the soul of the world and the known
universe. A band like no other !
These guys are one of those bands you could listen to for your whole life
and still hear them like you are listening for the first time. If you want
a new perspective on life and want to see the newness of life again, Google
Truth contest and check out the top entry. The truth of life has been
revealed, and it is better than anything we could have imagined. Wake up to
true life, its such a joy.
How does someone come up with great music like this??….and from a guitar
that is tuned in such a weird way.
Got reported on Facebook for this album cover for the “nudity”
IDEAL PARA ESSE FINAL DE TARDE CHUVOSO E SÓ !
my touchstone. no matter how old i get, brings me back to sitting in my
room, in front of my cheap record player, memorizing every pop and hiss.
funny that my mind automatically plays them in any recording I listen to, I
am that kid again. in fact, if I close my eyes, I can hear my mother
telling me to turn that shit down, Jinny Marie.
only good music has the ability to do this.
of this I cannot be more sure.
Always liked that build-up from 4:55 to 5:47 – starting with subtle strings
to emotive blast.
“Talk Talk, Talk, Talk, Hey, – I’ve felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go-oohh-ooohhh.”
Note: Uploader has changed the lyrics from “it” to “YOU”, in his post.
LED ZEPPELIN ~~ The Rain Song
How in the wide world of sports can 673 people dislike this song? I mean,
are they human?
*Deep Cuts: (Mostly) Led Zeppelin*
This was written after George Harrison, who is a huge fan, told Zep drummer
John Bonham that the trouble with Led Zeppelin is that they “don’t do any
ballads”. Bonham brought in the idea, and the rest of the band worked with
him to put it together, and it is was one of the few Zeppelin songs where
all four members shared the composer credit.
Robert has called this song about unchanging love his greatest vocal
performance.
For +Di S. I think she kinda’ likes this one 😉
#RRHK #QuietStorm (literally!) #LedZeppelin #ZoSo
It isn’t hard to feel me Glow
Music will never be the same Led Zeppelin was such an amazing group I just
wish I could of been able to see them live!
*Will Mankind ever unite? Why are we here? What is the truth our existence
in this infinite universe?*

It is to you I give this tune.
I told myself in the 5th grade that I would listen to this song on the
first day of my freshmen year of high school and the last day of my senior
year. I’m still in 8th grade but I’m pretty sure when I get older I’ll hear
this song and think about high school :’)
για τους πρωνους!
This one *quite* often, #OnRepeat

I ran across this young fellow that had a Led Zepplin sticker on the back
of his pickup truck window. I see you are a Led Zepplin fan I said to him.
He said ” man, I love Led Zepplin, I got all their CD’s!” I looked at him
for a minute and said ” I got all their LP’s. And 45’s.” Led Zepplin
forever!!!
Un pensiero per chi si imbatte nella pioggia…..

I agree with last post, every listen is a new inspiration,a new opportunity
tewm tewm twem ta te tititi tewm plem prem … almost like Kashmir in terms
of lyrics but not especially guitars tunes, love this too so much xxxxxx
It’s raining on my life…
Most beautiful love song ever! It’s been over 4 years that I’ve been able
to listen to this, and any other led Zeppelin song. My favorite band of all
time! I thought I’d lost you to memories….perhaps we can start a new 🙂
It’s amazing to think to most people Led Zeppelin were a heavy rock band .
This shows them in a much more sophisticated light.
This song is sophisticated, mystical and transports me
I just can’t help but get lost in their music especially the guitar
playing. From the experience of a musician this is just a band that
everytime I listen to it’s like I’m reborn again! No other band like them.
this beauty give me wings every time i hear it. lift me off
That little outro is the best piece of music i’ve ever heard
Hate how when this song is played on the radio they cut the lat 30-45
seconds out. Pathetic really.
how much beauty in one song?!
como um desgraçado vem la do caralho e da deslike nessa musica?!afff
#LedZeppelin #rain
so young and listen to this song and realize that others of your
“generation” seems to them shit and makes you want to kill them but hear
again and passed me
imo, after Stairway to Heaven they might thought in doing an entire album
showing their absolute power over the Gods of music…and Houses of The
Holy had been made. The best album of pure music…ever.
People change lives …Not words… Knowledge avails us nothing
Such a psychedelic feeling like no other when listening to this. oh wow
i have one question about this cover… why are those kids? did they had
problems for this, this is like child porn or something like that, am i
wrong?
These are the seasons of emotion,
And like the winds they rise and fall.
This is the wonder of devotion,
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient,
Upon us all a little rain must fall.
:)
