QUADROPHENIA- Love, Reign O'er Me (W/ Lyrics!) Pt. 10

[@Frankiarmz]

I'm an old man now but listening to this makes me feel young again. Rock Never Dies!!!

[@feret1993]

im 17 and this is one of the best songs ive ever heard, i love how the who can stretch across generations and still be loved

[@mikeegan6223]

You have good taste

[@julieutley2073]

Alex, you have just defined what classical music is. Did you realize that? Good job, 17. ( From a 64) 👍🌅

[@ToyzintheatticBombnation]

Music is timeless.

[@pauliewalnuts6285]

Your 30 now lol funny to see old comments

[@julianhawkins9423]

This track is something else - such a thought provoking tune. This movie will live with me forever

[@ThaiThom]

I love how the whole double album leads up to this song, lyrically, musically, thematically.... Quadrophenia is the greatest concept album ever written.

[@michaelgwyndavies2827]

only love can can stretch over such a course,of time reign o,er me dare I say Brighton Rocks and I still have a scooter. less mirrors these days though however , off a dry and dusty road

[@chipcook5346]

I think this production did it for Townsend. I know he had later themes, but Tommy, then this, seem to be the pinnacle of his lyric operas. Is that the right term?

[@godmaster81]

One of the most wonderful songs by the best rock'n'roll band of all time. Simple as that.

[@eCoArise]

1982 Rich Stadium Buffalo, the clouds come in and it starts to gently rain. The Who launch into Love Reign O'er Me, and tears come to my ears. Best rock-n-roll moment EVER!

[@handebarlas6248]

Wow!!! lucky you!!!

[@chipcook5346]

1982, Rupp Arena, Lexington, Kentucky. The first of how many farewell tours? My friend's father insisted on driving us up and back from Knoxville. Thank God he did, I owe him my life.

[@pault9043]

I was there too. Townshend said "that's never happened before".

[@allisonthesupernova447]

Probably Roger Daltry's finest vocal ever.Just an amazing range .Hits those highs with such power and amazing ease. Love this very much .Ty for sharing xxoXXO Allison

[@garyboyer7976]

Wondering if this might have inspired Rutger Hauers ‘ famous tears in rain monologue in Blade Runner.

[@jazluvr99]

Absolutely one of the greatest, most beautifully powerful songs ever written and performed. What else can I say?

[@reneemcinnis6782]

totally fucking right

[@hs0zin]

100% agree

[@michaelmaggi7637]

This is without a doubt Townshend's greatest composition. Roger Daltry just nails it. What a great and outstanding vocal. And Keith Moon's drums just adds to the emotion. Beautiful.

[@scottallen7366]

Keith Moon and his tiny white diet pills were very popular when this was being recorded

[@WelshIron]

Brilliant album but this track is pure genius and Rogers vocals are just amazing!

[@bode0309]

I listened to this album when I was 16 and fell in love with every song 👍 I’m now 45 and still love it x 👍

[@katelord6106]

I just posted...Made love to my high school lover....16, he was 17. Last night, 50 years later, and I love that man like crazy....like the sweat of lover's laying in the fields....Looove! Here's to passion, keep love alive!

[@anthonymorris4842]

One of Daltrey’s best performances. Absolutely mind blowing.

[@ivankutscher768]

I just turned fifty, but I have been a WHO fan since I could barely walk. Particularly Keith Moon, as it was he and John Bonham who inspired me to become the drummer that I am. Can anyone actually fathom what faculties and imagination are involved with writing something on the scale of Quadrophenia? And then playing it? Then touring with it? It is beyond almost everyone I can think of. There are a few like Pink Floyd with their brilliant, concept oriented offerings and maybe Zeppelin just because they ARE ZEPPELIN. Maybe the Beatles. I listen to these albums from these people and I am still awed after all these years. Makes me wonder if albums like Quadrophenia, Dark Side Of the Moon and Zep II and IV and Sgt. Pepper's will triumph throughout the decades and centuries along with the Classical Giants, assuming humanity survives.

[@bbmtge]

Excellent!!! Thank you and regards.

[@ichhasseamerika]

Even if humanity survives, they will be enslaved to computers. We will never reach highs like this again. RIP music.

my brother gave me this album for my 18th birthday, forty years gone thank you dave, and thank you who for the great music

[@thomasaskew1985]

The greatest ending to the greatest album ever.

[@tgenrette451518]

My lover, Donald gave me this album in the 70's. I will always lovingly remember him and our time together💜

[@doncharters1018]

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!

[@paulolson734]

Still get thrills all these years later. Best song on the best album by the best band ever. That is all.

[@handebarlas6248]

Definitely the best Who song!! Ever.

[@kimberlyellenburg-wt4mt]

This song was in the movie with Adam Sandler movie called reign over me , great movie , related to 9/11 attacks

[@anthonymorris4842]

One the best song written by Pete Townsend. With Roger Daltery’s vocals are amazing. Just a great legendary performance.

[@michael9208]

BRILLIANT! Absolutely brilliant! Sure puts the crap pumped out these days in perspective--doesn't it?

[@jcavilia1]

Quadrophenia was released a few weeks after I first met the woman who would become my wife. The album, and especially this magnificent song, was an important element of our soundtrack during those early, wildly passionate weeks of our lifelong love affair. When she passed away earlier this year we'd been married 47 years. Thanks for helping make the memories, Pete.

[@katelord6106]

My high school lover, who I met at 16 years old...he was 17.....went on to make love to this song so many times.... it's now 50 years later, and last night....well. I still love that man like crazy. Here's to Looooove! Reign O'er Me! Here's to passion, keep loving brothers and sisters.🐦🌷

[@seanobi22]

Easily one of the best closing tracks of all time. It just perfectly sums up all of the emotions of the album and provides the perfect amount of closure.

[@kevinbass8150]

this song still sends shivers up my spine roger and keith mood at there best

[@christiangasior4244]

John entwistle isn't too bad here either.

[@RusThompson]

I first got this album then an 8 track tape, I played the tape so much that first summer I had to buy another. The absolute best the Who has ever done.

[@johnknottenbelt2502]

After a spell of checking out much of my The Who cds, I believe that this tune is one of the best vocal deliveries from Roger Daltrey & Quadrophenia, my favourite Who "Rock Opera" !

[@kaliboo60]

I remember singing this on the street with a friend during a storm. Brings many memories back. Opens the floodgates.

[@Planktontwo]

Quadrophenia is not only my favorite Who album, but it is probably my favorite album to listen to of all time. I will admit I did not like it when I first heard it, but grows on you quickly and you can feel the emotions of the songs as the groups interprets the mod lifestyle of Jimmy Cooper. The Rock happens to be my favorite track on it, but Love Reign O'er Me is a heck of a song to end this album. Long live the Who! RIP Moonie and The Ox

[@davidlichner9349]

I think this album is so underated...

[@gordonmackenzie7683]

Bought the album, It had so much more meaning after seeing the Movie with my Friends, A total Rollercoaster of feelings and Emotions, from the Sea!!!1 *)

[@gordonmackenzie7683]

Bell Boy!!! got to get running now!!! *)

[@Schmoople]

Quadrophenia the film is a classic. I like Ace The Face as "Bellboy"! (played by Sting) and Jimmy's reaction when he realizes what Ace The Face does for a living...

[@tatianaroveda]

If you never saw the who- they were the ultimate band- Let it rain..Love can make the rain..

[@fuita227]

Did this play in high school back in 74...what a blast...learned every note in my head...Thank You Gregg.

[@c0mf0rta61ynum6]

It's 12:30 a.m. where I'm at, pouring, all the lights are out, listening to this song...I have found inner tranquility.

[@naturelover1957]

I put this album in my top 5 of all time!This is what rock and roll is all about.

[@ventingmaybe]

One of the best Who songs ever ! Full of desire and need urgency Passion

[@thewriter1008]

That explosive final chord ends one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

[@vernergr]

Only love can make it rain The way the beach is kissed by the sea Only love can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields Love reign o'er me Love reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Only love can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky Only love can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spend apart alone I need to get back home to cool, cool rain I can't sleep and I lay and I think The night is hot and black as ink Ooh God, I need a drink of of cool, cool rain Love, reign o'er me Rain o'er me, over me, o'er me, oh Love reign o'er me O'er me Love

[@petervanzetten1537]

Love it, still after all these years!

[@Bob-tr2we]

This song makes me cry.

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

Because it's about love.

[@ichhasseamerika]

Because of the humanity on display here, which we have now lost to technology.

[@7outof9gone]

This song stirs down to the very depths of my soul. Forever it will Rein O'er Me! Thank you for posting!

[@iktomi5]

Iv'e been playing my piano for hours. struggling enjoying a piece of music I'm writing. 2 break up the stress and irritation I've ate and played rock and pop from my youth. what I'd consider easy elementary chord sequences. Interestingly I've also had some difficulties getting songs like Michael Jackson 'one day in your life' together still great fun and a lesson in humility. So I decided to turn the piano off & listen to The Who a band I listened to most nights whilst pissing about pretending to do my home work. Quadrophenia ws my favourite L/P from 3rd year (15yo) 2 end of school. As soon as I heard the piano at the start of this track I heard the influence of the who in my own writing. Ace! back to the L/P. Note The fantasy's i'd have staring at the cover or listening 2 the songs were so passionate & now seem so ridiculous. As a teen I thought you wait until I'm a man. Never once thought as a man I'd still have to contend with men & their love of power & prejudice. Now that sounds ridiculous 2. DR JIMMY& MR JIM!!!!

[@Jakexx01]

I swear this is a true story. I saw The Who in Tampa Stadium years back. They used this song to totally change the vibe of the show. When the backing track of a rain storm began (honestly this is the truth) there was a slight sputtering of rain that lasted through the first verse then it stopped and never rained again through out the show. At first I thought someone had a squirt gun and was shooting water but I looked around and everyone around us was sensing the same thing. Awesome!

[@linjicakonikon7666]

The WHO. The BEST

[@earthwizard1]

my heart felt thanks for the above series my friend. ive just finished listening to them all and im now on ebay buying the album. again thanks

[@JasonBonitati]

Thanks so much, Jason ! First time I heard this I was 15, in 1981. It was my cousin ( luckly his name was not KEVIN...lol ) to lend me the album... QUADROPHENIA , the MOD movement and THE WHO will never die !!!

[@cabreradude]

A perfect end to a perfect album!!!

Quad, is beauty, depth, energy and noble intent. So, many goosebumps, emotional highs and also sublime lows.I so Love this true masterpiece! Yes, not since Kanye Wests lip sync babble dribble has anything shown us the difference between grunt like tripe and exqusite sound wave caviar.

[@Porcelainheart1234]

This is absolutely incredible! I'm 32 and this song really touches my heart..

[@thewriter1008]

I discovered earlier today that if you listen to this with a really good pair of headphones, you get the most amazing experience:the power of this music completely envelopes you. You hear, feel, all of it. The bass shakes you to the very core, the stereo blows you away, the strings power through all, and the true power of this work shines through. A good pair of headphones can make it inescapable, and all the better for it.

[@davidlancaster8152]

Bout a year ago i was on the street waiting for a bus when I got a text saying my Mom had died. I just started playing this song over and over. It killed the pain. Played in my head for months

[@timothybessemer7316]

My all time favorite Who song. Thanks for putting this one up.

[@philipatoz]

This is unquestionably a brilliant masterpiece - probably the best composition Townsend ever created. Also likely the best showcase of Daltry's astonishing range and incredibly powerful voice. Sonically, the instrumental textures, pacing and emotional execution are all simply breathtaking! I've been listening to this since it came out and it still never fails to give me chills.

[@AlFesta1]

A masterpiece.......the song symbol of a generation aboslutely GREAT !!!! font of inspiration..........

[@BrainDamageAG]

This song always put my skin like a chicken, is one of my favorites

[@linjicakonikon7666]

This song sums it up. It sums up the human condition. It speaks for all the poets and preachers. It reaches down into the aching heart of a man and holds it up high to God and begs for the rain of mercy to wash away the pain of man's corruption and brokenness. At the end there is only one hope. The Reign of a God who loves., Who reaches out and draws us up to Himself, giving us the life giving water of his cool cool rain.
