THIS ONE TOUCHED ME!! Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song FIRST TIME REACTION

[@PeterTea]

"Upon us all, a little rain must fall." George Harrison of the Beatles lamented that Zeppelin had no ballads... so of course they made a helluva one.

[@1504Shawn]

Dude, that must be one of those fake rock legends, i mean, it doesn't make no sense at all Led had Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Thank You, Tangerine and Going to California before they made The Rain Song Or George just simply didn't listened to Led and said that based on nothing

[@juliemanarin4127]

Beautiful song by the greatest band in history! Please do this live...The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song...1973 at MSG!!

[@StillColour]

Such an amazing song Julie!! I need to react to the 1973 MSG concert, its on the list :)

[@gregdoty7746]

It takes me back to my youth. Love this song

[@lewismaddox4132]

Those sawing cello chords that graze your soul and the fat piano chords that make any defense indefensible, those untouched are beyond reach. When I want my cheeks drenched with warm tears of joy, I turn to this.

[@bobbyn.9773]

There was no orchestra the bassist John Paul Jones used a keyboard a Mellotron that can make is sound like an orchestra

[@StillColour]

Even more impressive!!

[@mauricelechenault3814]

@@StillColour To complete it a bit, like many bands of the 60s, 70s, like The Beatles, King Crimson, Genesis etc. Led Zeppelin used this strange keyboard: the Mellotron. In a way, the first sound sample player. It worked with magnetic tapes on which were recorded the sounds of flute, strings, and choirs... Watch the demonstration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKSopKJvf8aamrM

[@Kanjo16]

Although fairly unknown, JPJ was a real backbone of that band. Any other instrument you hear other than drums and guitar is him.

[@bikebob17]

These cats where barely in their 20s and created all of these masterpieces. I'm happy to have witnessed them back when they came out, 1968.

[@bobbyn.9773]

A masterpiece....my favorite LZ song...you should hear the 1973 MSG live version The Song Remains the Same/The Rain Song....mesmerizing

[@PeterTea]

Cool. I learned something new about you. My favorite Zeppelin song is still typically the last one I listened to. ;)

[@Dooklawz]

this song is wonderful....glad you liked it. If you want to see something truly magical watch the movie The Song Remains The Same, the segment with this song has Robert Plant saving a damsel in distress held in a tower.....Plant battles the dark forces and saves her.....it's excellent :)

[@ginger4141]

To think that 4 guy came together to make masterpieces of music that after 50 years older fans are experiencing memories of what it was like, when watching younger people listening to Zeppelin for the first time.

[@StillColour]

art and greatness really is timeless!!

[@markjohnson4217]

This is one of the most beautiful songs in the world. The second track from Houses of Holy, following one of the greatest high energy opening tracks, 'The Song Remains the Same'. I think this is easily their greatest album.

[@alanalanis2257]

Even as a child I was deeply moved by this song. I'm still just as moved now as a 48 year old.

[@robbraams6523]

Since i've been loving you ,is another beautiful song,and Baby,i'm gonna leave you.

[@joshuadeshaies7106]

Amazing!! Just amazing. ONLY these rock icons could make this 🎵 song, and the best part of it, we can listen to it anytime we want. Rock on bro!!¡

[@ramonalfaro3252]

7 out of 10 listens this will bring a tears to my eyes. Can't really say why either.

[@JasonMahipat]

Haha your face when they pumped it up. My favorite Zep song

[@StillColour]

I was feeling it 😂

[@wild8757]

One word “BEAUTIFUL”!

[@Swags456]

To me the songs about losing love and troubling storm without them and then at the end the guitar riff symbolizes the rain clearing up

[@petepotaczek5844]

Whenever I’m questioning life I put on zepplin and take a long drive, alone! A therapist couldn’t ease my mind like Zepplin, Pink Floyd or yes does!

such a beautiful song, it touched me!

[@armandoperez8230]

If you want to slow it down , put some Zeppellin , BAMM!

My little sister wrote a good poem about wanting to live in this song when she was a kid.

[@Maiko100876]

MASTERPIECE, grabs you in the feels don’t it?

[@LatinBostonH8ter79]

One their most underrated rated love songs ever.

[@StillColour]

Such a beautiful Song!

[@LatinBostonH8ter79]

@@StillColour It’s the classic dynamic of light and shade. The heavy mixed with the soft strumming and keyboard melodies provided by John Paul Jones.

[@charliecochran3035]

I've always thought this was among their best, most creative songs. It's definitely one of my favorites. The lyrics have a lot to live up to, honestly I could just listen to the music to this song for hours, but they come pretty close. Some of their best lyrics.

[@bungalowmo]

That's what great music is. I wish more folks knew what truly great lyrics are...what a beautiful arrangement sounds like. How it would fall flat, if talented musicians hadn't performed it. This is the perfection that IS Led Zeppelin

[@paulmahon1613]

I'm glad you hit this one. It's only the most beautiful song ever written. I've seen so many Zeppelin reaction videos, and literally nobody does this song. I've spammed them and nobody gets the message. You've heard what they're missing. I can't believe so many people just pass it over.

[@StillColour]

Thanks so much for listening man, this song is was a beautiful song I feel privileged to have come across. Happy to hear you liked the video bro :)

[@danhollatz5944]

Rumors have it that before a Seattle concert it was raining and came up with song, back in the day,you could walk through Seattle and hear this song

[@jeffk.9075]

This band deserves every accolade they receive.

[@KH-rd2xi]

Lyrics are beautiful. It's a song of Hope

[@BBaldwin]

They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band..

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

Short answer to all your questions about the possible meanings? The answer is YES! It is whatever it means to you. Zeppelin is always about mood/emotion. As I've mentioned to others, this song is moody, melancholy, and triumphant all at the same time. It is my favorite song of theirs and always makes me cry with it's beauty.

[@StillColour]

That is what i'm learning about Led Zepp, its very much open to interpretation which makes the experience even more unique. Such an amazing, beautiful beautiful song!! Thanks for giving this a listen

[@fewwiggle]

My "first" impression is that the lyrics are telling about someone coming out of their winter and into their summer thinks to a new love. And, then reflecting on that journey.

[@StillColour]

And what's your impression now 👀?

[@fewwiggle]

@@StillColour Since you asked.... :-) I've heard this song a bazillion times and got the gist (I hope) without ever really analyzing or parsing the lyrics. I think the first time I tried to understand EXACTLY what was being said was while watching your video. So, I just listened closely again and here are my conclusions: -- The "protagonist"(?) was at a low point (his winter) "I never thought it would ever go" -- He found a new love and now is in figurative heaven (his spring and summer) -- Yet, there is a sadness to the song, because: -- 1) The love is so strong that it hurts -- 2) Part of that "hurt" is the fear/acceptance that one day "a little rain must fall" IOW, the "rain" most likely is a call back to the chill of winter.

[@hinney827]

A lot of people recommending the version from Song Remains the Same.. which is spectacular, but if you want to check out a full orchestral version of it - No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded has an absolutely spectacular version of this and many other songs. Sadly, no John Paul Jones or the late John Bonham, but some very gorgeous versions of the Zeppelin catalogue, and even a couple original songs for the tour.

[@DCronk-qc6sn]

Watching you is like seeing myself 50 years ago when this was a new song and I was hearing for the first time. You brought me much joy - thank you.

[@StillColour]

Im happy you was able to relive that moment with me, thank you :)

[@DCronk-qc6sn]

And to you a ❤️ as well! Peace.

Me too! Isn't it great watching these youngsters get into our music

[@DCronk-qc6sn]

@@nowhere982 Hi, Susan Harper - yes, it gives me hope for the future - so many young people are numb and sad - my hope is that this music will touch their hearts such they will overcome the obstacles that they inherit from "boomers" and others that have sucked the joy out of life..... Here's to being hopeful. Music always mends.....

[@justanobadi6655]

A lot of people might put stairway to heaven as their favorite, but this is not only my favorite from Led zeppelin but in rock in general.

[@meezursrule]

Maybe it might be a very long marriage that changes and faces challenges as well as joy over time...

[@jimmycompton6352]

Great song,great reaction. Do yourself a favor. Check out the extended live version from the 1973 the song remains the same concert from madison square garden and WATCH them do it. incredible. that orchestra is john paul jones on the keyboard. There is non concert footage in it. It was part of a movie they put out each member had a "fantasy segment" and this was robert plants fantasy. it jumps back and forth between concert and fantasy. even if you dont react to it,check it out but i would love to see your reaction!

Thanks so much for giving this a watch and for the recommendations. Adding to the list!!

[@tracymetherell8744]

My favorite of all their songs. Sublime

[@MsAppassionata]

Fun fact: George Harrison (of The Beatles, of course) once went to a party for John Bonham (in which everyone who attended ended up being thrown in a swimming pool - But that’s another story). He happened to ask Bonzo why it was that Led Zeppelin never seemed to do any ballads. Bonzo went and told Jimmy and Robert and they came up with this song, which reportedly uses some of the same chords that Harrison utilized in his song “Something”.

Plz do me and everyone a huge favor...react to Page and Plant Unledded, the song "Thank You". It is beautiful, mellow, but also 2 awesome solos...not too long, just right. By the way, I love your heartfelt emotional and honest reactions. I am a classic rock junky born in the wrong decade, if you ever need suggestions or info HMU

Yeah, this song definitely pulls at the heart strings. I almost picked it for mine and my husband’s wedding, but it’s long and we didn’t want to bore people 😅 I would love for you to react to Human Sadness by The Voidz. That one is painful, but also so beautiful

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

Great reaction , nice to listen to.

What a glorious song, huh? Perfection. Just when you think you've got these guys worked out they lay this on you. Your choices of Zeppelin songs so far has been brilliant, man, so I don't know if I need to recommend any more to you as you'll probably find your way there anyway...but I will, lol. "Over The Hills And Far Away", "Heartbreaker", "The Battle Of Evermore", "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", "Achilles Last Stand", "Fool In The Rain", "Nobody's Fault But Mine", "How Many More Times" and "In The Light". All studio versions too.
