This was one of the first complete songs I learned on guitar. The guitar tuning used by Jimmy Page on this song is often called “Rain Song” tuning. Amazing reaction, thanks for this one.

[@silasmarner7586]

Those guys brought all these influences to the table. John Paul Jones and Jimmy page had been session players since waaay back when. They absorbed all the recording techniques, the songwriting, the genres, BEFORE they ever started this group. Page and Plant really loved traditional Celtic Music and Folk/Celtic stuff that was contemporary to them. They had ALL of that, and I'm sure most bands in the UK in the late sixties had access to those influences. But the arranging and songwriting and musicianship and quality of recording was just moved up 10000000% with these guys. I remember when the stuff came out past LZ II and all I could think was, "Man, how DIFFERENT this all sounds!" and Jayy, you sense that too!

That moment when the lounge singer says, "Thank you! You're marvelous! I'm gonna take the room down for a second..." - Zeppelin invented that shit! Or at least perfected it.

[@howardbrown911]

This beautiful melody was composed by Jimmy and Robert wrote the lyrics. It was in response to a comment by the Beatles George Harrison who said to John Bonham that LZ never wrote a ballad and by implication, most likely couldn't. I say this is every bit as good as any piece the Beatles wrote. The theme is wonderful, but like all Zeppelin music, it is the full texture of development that brings so much more to it. You said it all, "It's Led Zeppelin!" Nothing more to say. I love that you call this your "Zepathon." About time someone did this and you are the perfect one since You seem to appreciate them as much as we do. Thanks Jayy for this and all your reactions!!!!!! If I might request, as a part of the Zeppathon, you might do "In My Time of Dying." A wonderful prayer almost.

[@Itelkner]

I'm sure the first 4 bars of "Rain Song" is an inside joke from Page to Harrison as that part sounds an awful lot like "Something."

[@chrishenderson8158]

[@rhondaboll4260]

One of my all time Zep favorites! One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my lifetime. Sadly, Robert Plant lost a son while he was in the US touring. I am not positive, but I think some of the lyrics may about that. "I felt the coldness of my winter, I never thought it would ever go, I curse the gloom that set upon us, but I know, that I love you so." "Just a little rain must fall." NEVER gets old!

Crazy thing is, LZ didn't focus on "hits". They had one top ten single in the US during their whole career.

[@Itelkner]

Jimmy (and JPJ) probably had had well enough of the "made to order" pop machine from all his 60's session work. By the time he got to Zeppelin, he had enough clout to put his foot down. I'm sure having Peter Grant as a manager helped with that, too.

[@veganapiranha7365]

@@Itelkner You said it. What Peter Grant did for Zeppelin had a bleed-over effect for other artists in the 70s too. He doesn't get as much credit as he deserves for that glorious decade of artist-controlled music.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

We have not just Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin to thank for this gorgeous ballad, but also George Harrison. You see, George attended a Zeppelin concert in '72 and, while very impressed, he said to John Bonham, "The only problem with you guys is that you don't do any ballads. Where are the ballads?" (I'm guessing the band didn't play, "Thank You", the night George attended.) Well, Bonzo told Jimmy what George had said, and Jimmy took it as a challenge to write a beautiful ballad for their next album. I never saw a comment from George as to what he thought of, "The Rain Song". But given its sheer beauty, I would think he loved it as much as we do. Furthermore, I would think that he must've been especially chuffed, not just that the biggest band in the world wrote a magnificent song based on his request, but that Jimmy paid homage to the former Beatle by borrowing the first two chords of, "Something", as the opening two chords of, "The Rain Song".
