Led Zeppelin-The Rain Song

[MegaZephead]

Everything Zep has recorded, has stood the test of time! (best ever)!

[bittercottoncandy]

This song is the only thing that has worked out well in all day long for me...

[mattbrandwich]

@bittercottoncandy love when that happens

[minedolce]

Sweet for a sunny day, too. : )

[mcgigglish]

brought a tear to my eye, heh

(had the rainy day song on at the same time)

lovely song - shows if you leave a Zep song for a decade or two and come back to it, it only gets better

[Diddilydoodily]

THANK U

[RetroSparkles]

One of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs. A truly beautiful work of art ;')

[RRaquello]

I was a Zep fan as a kid, but always hated that they always had a wimpy "sensitive" song on every record, and you had to get up and move the needle to the next cool song. I only wanted to hear the loud & fast ones. Then punk rock came out & the Ramones & Saints & Sex Pistols & all the songs were loud & fast & you didn't have to get up to move the needle & skip the wimpy songs anymore, so I just listened to punk & forgot about Zep & haven't heard this song in 35 years!

[DaAt0miKniPpLe]

@RRaquello Those "wimpy songs" were the best man.

[taiwanelisa]

Love John Paul Jones mellotron part on this track. Love the way Bonzo's drums enter the song. And of course, love Pagey's guitar and Planto's voice.

[pinkrick333]

thanks to pinkstarburst95 for posting this beautiful song, truly one of Led Zeppelins finest. Thanks also for the great blog as to the recording behind this song...I always like to hear about how and why music comes to be, a little story behind the scenes so to speak. And as for you idiots who have nothing better to do than randomly seek out beautiful music loved my millions and write negative things about them, get yourself a life and do something more constructive with your time.

[LedZeppelinSuckBalls]

this is the worst band to set foot on the planet, music is completely garbage!

[ALT228nvol]

@LedZeppelinSuckBalls You troll so badly it hurts.

[Ine7tia]

@LedZeppelinSuckBalls Not in a position to insult. I don't care whether you like Zeppelin or not You actually made an account just to comment rubbish on videos from one band. You are the definition of pathetic.

[pinkrick333]

@Ine7tia well said my friend!



[jacobbrgr1]

@LedZeppelinSuckBalls How are you still alive...?

[bambam123231]

@LedZeppelinSuckBalls 0/10 go troll on a Justin Bieber page, you get a better response.

[TheRandombk]

@LedZeppelinSuckBalls Don't get your panties in a wad, troll.

[pageplant7t7]

@LedZeppelinSuckBalls U mad fag?

[bjggjb]

@LedZeppelinSuckBalls Your handle ought to be "ISniffJustinBiebersPanties", troll.

[joshuavideogames]

This song is a form of art.

[MrMarttin]

viernes de clasicos lluvioso

[GTX1123]

This song and album brings back a lot of memories. I remember hearing this for the first time in 1975 right after I turned 13 during a couple of warm, very rainy couple of weeks in September. I also remember seeing this album displayed in all the record stores because even though this was less than a year before Graffiti was released, Led Zeppelin was at their zenith.  "flee from me keepers of the gloom"

[kyuzzu]

@cerebain not in rain only dude.

[cerebain]

15,835 people are only happy when it rains. <3

[okenam09]

long live led zeppelin!

[rayc97]

But I Know That I Love You So.. <3

[the4thstooge]

....If Led Zeppelin music was a drug I would shoot it right into my veins ,this song would be the 1st one in

[davevicks12]

"And it began to rain."- JG Ballard from the book THE DROUGHT.

[10skylark]

this is a great song!

[Ginny82ful]

Breathe in and out... relax.. ready??? Listen, and feel.

[IKissmydogonthelips]

The album cover is not quite right, I always thought that, but I remember this song/album on Saturday mornings (record player), cleaning/dusting w/murphy oil soap. My Dad was a clean freak. lol! Love it!

[Duroduro666]

the most relaxing Led Zepp song i believe

[leancuervo08]

@Duroduro666 The most relaxing song , period :)..... :)

[Darkblossomxx]

i just love how the melody sounds from 2:52 - 3:12 the most beautiful thing ive ever heard

[jcpennington183]

fuckin love this song

[BitchinnShoes07]

So.....relaxed.....must..not..­....fall...asleep

[fnnkybutt]

My favorite LZ song? Perhaps!

[jayjay301269]

A jungle jungle jungle jungle rock.



[MoondogGuitarist]

Don't start the video.

Go to google and type in rainy mood.

Click the first link.

Wait for the rain to start.

Play the video.

Enjoy.

[Duroduro666]

@MoondogGuitarist My god it's 10 time better man... thanks

[pandabassman1]

@MoondogGuitarist Holy crap, dude - that makes this track even more perfect than the perfect it already was. 

[Drake3012]

@MoondogGuitarist made my day... :) thank you so much

[Ven0m6125]

@MoondogGuitarist I love you lol =P

[katheo21]

@MoondogGuitarist thank you, you have made my life complete

[XxmcdxX]

@MoondogGuitarist What sorcery is this???!!! Btw i hate you for making me looking like a pussy, i cried listening to this song with the rain

[gesdeath132]

@MoondogGuitarist I love you men, you've made my day.

[BNSF1985]

@MoondogGuitarist thanks for the idea

[ruivog]

@MoondogGuitarist Nice! Thanks, moondog.

[nephi74]

@MoondogGuitarist Excellent suggestion. The rain mixed with the music is awesome. Thanks!

[carriepower]

the mystery of the quotient

[themaxeatsfood]

Making my school work bearable. Way to go Led Zeppelin!

[AntiFederalist1]

@themaxeatsfood

LOL For over forty years now!

[ninposkillz]

From Lord of the Rings chapter 7 'In the House of Tom Bombadil':

"As they looked out the window there came a falling gently as if it was flowing down the rain out of the sky, the clear voice of Goldberry singing up above them. They could hear few words, but it seemed plain to them that the song was a rain-song..."

[RisingSon011]

@ninposkillz dweeb

[Sappyspartan]

@ninposkillz Yeah, Lord of the Rings was the book to read back then in the 70s

[IronZeppelin97]

@ninposkillz I love it that they found Tolkien as an inspiration for their music, makes it even more epic.

[floopsie666]

@ninposkillz this is why I love zep

[AlexanderH117]

Beautiful...I'm tearing up

[sayyes1100]

love this one

[salishasdelicious]

simple bliss



[exequiel716]

que hermosa cancion

[usmc11able]

lets get high and sit around a camp fire

[kcroom11]

That's right.Fuck them. This is the best of all time so believe in what you like. I saw them and It will always be my favorite. Like what you want to like, don't let them tell you what you will like. That is what makes you an individual.

[doublecrosspenguin]

I have never particularly like Led Zeppelin (Not to say i hated them) but my friend just sent me this, and i have to say it is fantastic.

[MightyMartel]

@doublecrosspenguin This is my go to song to recommend to someone reluctant to hear some Zeppelin.

[MagickZoso]

@doublecrosspenguin Try "That's The Way" and "Ten Years Gone" next.

[bigmarty11288]

@MagickZoso Ten Years Gone sounds very similar to this one, to me anyway. I like The Rain Song better. But both good. Ooga Booga.

[485chevys]

this group had a mystic quality about them plus they were some of (if not) the most talented artist in the history of rock music.nuff said!

[cybercop112]

Is this song good for getting girls i noticed theres this one girl in band class that i can always catch her attention and make her smile when i play this song

[MovieHound17]

@cybercop112 then there is your answer!

[cybercop112]

@MovieHound17 I dont think a smile means anything maybe she just likes the song.

[MovieHound17]

@cybercop112 exactly, but she also likes the fact tht u play it, just go talk to the girl

[cybercop112]

@MovieHound17 Easier said than done i dont think a girl as pretty and popular as she will waster with a music geek like me

[Euphoricglow]

@cybercop112 you;ll never know until you try!

[MovieHound17]

@cybercop112 OFCOURSE it is as easy to do as said....whats the worst thing thts gunna happen to u if u ask her out and she says no???? u think shes gunna beat ya up, make fun of u? No for all u know shell say yes cause some girls sum not all, know tht the jocks are not the ones they want to be dating its a passonita music geek guy as u so put it.....so go ahead and try it BUTTT.... if u do do it with confindence like she is going to say yes!

[cybercop112]

@MovieHound17 Ill try but now i need a good conversation topic i dont exactly like all the same things normal teenagers like and sadly the jocks take the class with me but the fuck with them

[RetroSparkles]

Beautiful... pure masterpiece

[TheRetrinityed]

thumbs up if you came here straight after learnin it...

[GIVEMEFOODANDMONEY]

Just perfect

[JackBuck44]

Next time you guys take a chick home for the first time, turn out the lights, light a few candles and put this song on softly...you can thank me later.

[Amodimethicone]

In my book, this just might be the best song ever written.

[gpfarley33]

even worse how do you have genesis ahead of zep

[ILAN2187]

@gpfarley33 genesis never sing about love . nveverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrr

[sweatycoe70]

at last some real music!!!!

[MountainHill4444]

Exquisite. Beyond words. The Rain Song is one of my top two favorite songs of all-time. No lie. The other is Don't Fade Away by Dead Can Dance. I might be the only person on the planet with these top two faves. Tell me if I'm not.

[LordDarkShadow65]

Hey ILAN2187 A most excellent, Excellent choice of groups to admire. Although I would have put Rush 1st but shit baby you sure as hell know what super sweet tunes and who makes them!!!

[ILAN2187]

@LordDarkShadow65 hey lord im sure you know what good music is rush r very rare and i think they r best after floyd and genesis [piter gabriel only] in my opinion no other band can get close to to them did you listen to starship trroper by yes if not go for it

[ILAN2187]

1 pink floyd 2 genesis 3 zeppelin 3 doors 4 rush 5 the who 

[SLAYERMETALLICA357]

@ILAN2187 Dude how is Zep #3?

[ILAN2187]

@SLAYERMETALLICA357 be back latter must go work

[ILAN2187]

@SLAYERMETALLICA357 my friend im sure that on pink floyd we both agree as no 1 no one can say different about genesis [piter gabriel only] as no 2 i think you dont know shit about their music . both pink floyd and genesis are unique no other band can even get close to them . spend more time listening to genesis and than talk. start with foxtrot

[Kamyu03]

They're differet types of song, but i find this one much pleasant and beautiful. And Zeppelin a more diverse and talented band than Beatles.

[jgg87]

@Kamyu03 Not even close to being more diverse and more talented, buddy. Especially when you analyze their songwriting abilities.

[jgg87]

This song is great, but it doesn't hold a candle to The Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun".

It really doesn't come close to being in the same league.

[meatpuppetsurf]

@jgg87 apples and oranges

[dbyo88]

@jgg87 tbh, it's like the led zeppelin version of here comes the sun. 

[AlexanderH117]

@jgg87 ...Why'd you compare two different types of bands from two different periods of time? 0.o? meatpuppetsurf is 100% correct lol

[stage462]

@AlexanderH117 Totally agree, no comparison needed this song stands on its own!

[AlexanderH117]

@stage462 YES. Absolutely right my friend

[markthebest90]

@jgg87 ahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha­h I'm laughing my ass off, you're a genious ahahahahahah "here comes the sun lallala" better than this masterpiece? ahahahahahahahahahah...hey, you were trolling, weren't you?

[jgg87]

@markthebest90 You know I'm not trolling and you know 99% of music critics will agree with me. ;)

[markthebest90]

@jgg87 yeah, maybe the same music critics which made the 100 best guitarist list and put cobain at 12 and kirk wahmmett at 11, the same critics which made 100 best artist list and didn't put genesis, dire straits, deep purple, PINK FLOYD (!!!), queen, and put red hot chili suckers...here comes the sun TA TA TA= quiet good pop song...the rain song= wonderful folk guitar chords, wonderful mellotron, wonderful lyrics, wonderful outro (IMO better than a guitar solo)=best zeppelin ballad

[joeleaux]

@markthebest90 Yes, i agree ... but remember that Page was also known for his thievery and "borrowing" of riffs. i'm a fan, but in my opinion, i think he was more technically skilled than musically talented.

[markthebest90]

@joeleaux I don't think so, I think technically skilled guitarists are people like van halen, malmsteen, kirk hammett and I think they are boring...jimmy once said "The technique does not count. I deal with emotions"...in this and many other songs, especially since i've been loving you IMO, he gives you emotions...I think he's the best guitarist ever, and one of the best musicians ever

[otheflimflam]

@markthebest90 It's impressive to hear people that have memorized scales, and to hear them play, but you are absolutely right when you say they are boring. It does take years of practice to play well, but it only takes a moment to learn to play from the heart.

[markthebest90]

@otheflimflam yeah, but an entire life could not be enough to learn to give emotions...I think even if malmsteen could play 100 and more notes in 1 second, he would never give to me any real emotion

[LedZepGuitarman]

@markthebest90 Some modern players can still play with emotion despite being fast and technical, listen to tosin abasi's band animals as leaders. Specifically song of solomon, it is a masterpiece !

[BustlingHedgerow]

@joeleaux You're listening to this song, written by Page, which is absolutely exquisite and you think Jimmy is not musically talented??? Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, Going To California, I'm Gonna Crawl, SIBLY, Tea For One, Achilles Last Stand, Midnight Moonlight Seranade, Immigrant Song, Bron Yr Aur, Battle of Evermore, That's the Way, Over the Hills and Far Away and that's just the soft ones! Wow.

[iloveyes1]

Don't you just love the piano (or synth, correct me if I'm wrong!) that starts really standing out after 5.00? The track is heavily dominated by the beautiful an haunting guitar but without the addition of the piano/keyboard it would not be the same.

[asZskicker666]

Just a little rain... :(

[WassmanD]

Damn. Having a hard time deciding if this song makes me feel happy or depressed.

[iloveyes1]

@WassmanD But isn't life often like that? A bit bittersweet. There's beauty in that! My big girl is off to college in a few days...both happy and sad. The end of an era and yet the beginning of her life. (In Oz our school year is different to the rest of the world!)Bittersweet...as love often is. A great good ol' mixture of human feelings. Would we want it any differently? And isn't it amazing how music can speak to our souls so powerfully? A sign of great music. Wouldn't you agree?

[WassmanD]

Having a hard timce

[jondez15]

how can 166 people not like this????????

[viveLaCifte]

@jondez15 the same reason that we liked. "differences", "freedom of thought" etc...

[MrHotpants420]

@jondez15 musta been 166 misclicks

[747474ification]

@jondez15 1% of fucking idiots is nothing!!

[ajkfrty7]

@jondez15 166 people accidentally hit the dislike button in the rush to hit the like button.

[LuisPenseQue]

I thought the drums ruined the laxity.

[peruvian4041]

@LuisPenseQue nahhh the crescendo of the drums and hard playing in the guitar in that part is the climax of the song its all about emotion thats a part of huge rendention and happiness then it turns quiet again. =]

[siemniak]

This is the best thing to play on your guitar

[iloveyes1]

Awesome. Loooove the guitar so beautiful, and the orchestra adds a wonderful depth. More musicians and bands should use the awesome power and richness of classical instruments. "Hunocsi's" suggestion, fabulous! Nothing like a rainstorm...moody, foreboding, relaxing. And the best way to sleep. Fabulous band of my college days and beyond. Love em!

[streetparade]

@iloveyes1 That's not an orchestra. It's one man and his Mellotron synthesizer - the mighty John Paul Jones.

[iloveyes1]

@streetparade Well that's completely blown me away! How is that possible?!

[iloveyes1]

@streetparade I can hear it now. Thanks for correcting me!!

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

How to really improve this song.

1. Get a blow job

2. Smoke dank

3. cherry pie

[magua4]

its like an infusion of rock, folk and orchestra

[snowskatechill88]

how to improve this song

1, throw on some headphones if you want and just listen to a true masterpiece the way its suppose to be heard

[andrew8907]

@snowskatechill88 rain sounds are gay

[free0men]

internet troll here. nothing i can say against Led Zeppelin NOTHIG

[CrustyMeow]

i could die to this song

[bronzeaxewielder]

Hey the beatles, the stones, led zeppelin whoever you want to say is better.... it's all great music and it needs to come back again instead of all the junk that's out there now

[patwaddington]

@bronzeaxewielder fuckin got that right brother

[iloveyes1]

Ok, but what about Genesis 20/10 and Yes, it's in my youtube name so I'm biased and embarrassed as Genesis rates above Yes in my own books! To the latter part of your comment - too right!! I listen to my son's music (rap crap...please forgive my rudeness. I'm usually more respectful on youtube) to humour him. I can only blame myself for not instilling great music earlier. I have now learned;my little one (5) loves classic Genesis, Yes and The Beatles. Great music must endure.

[iloveyes1]

@iloveyes1 My plan is then to introduce Led Zep and Pink Floyd. She might turn out alright! 

[traemorgan18]

@bronzeaxewielder yeah like adele.. what a bitch... who cries for 2 cd's over a 3 year period about a guy you broke up with years before..?? get over it and move on

[karlmoles65]

Probably the most beautiful song ever written

[sirwob]

over 3 million hits, dontcha love it ?

[FckThisShit666]

This song is amazing, way better then Stairway to Heaven (imo)

[karlmoles65]

@FckThisShit666 The vein of mystic primal energy they tapped for Stairway definitely makes a comeback here.

[kisstheskyyyy]

speak to me only with your eyes..

love you mdb..just a little rain must fall

[1aggiesrule]

Weezy has made references to Led Zeppelin "you can get that fuckin' Led Zeppelin" and all I can think of when the people are singing it is... hahaha they have no idea who or what "Led Zeppelin" is. Idiots lol

[Bbfishman]

@1aggiesrule niggas is bitches, bitches i think they full of estrogen. and i hold court, nd take your life...for the settlement. Nd no i aint positive im definite, i kno the game like im reffin itttttt. my bad, your weezy line took me by surprise nd forced me to bust out the next few lines. Didnt expect to see lil wayne in the comments on a Led Zep song lol, touche

[veronika77b]

what a masterpiece! i could listen to it again and again and again and again...

[zeromant80]

The Beatles - Something? anyone? anyway, Thank you George Harrison..

[MagickZoso]

@zeromant80 George Harrison once asked John Bonham why Zeppelin didn't have any ballads (don't know where George had been since they had 'Thank You' and the acoustic LZ 3 album before this). Anyway, this song was literally a response to that comment, hence the first chord of Something as the intro. The working title was "Slush" before the lyrics were written.

[wendalsbud]

i love u missy<3

[ChainsSouthOfHeaven]

@vejkelley21072 This autotuned bullshit generation happened.

[mrKANEandLYNCH]

listen to the whole song and you can say that you have heard this song people

[vejkelley21072]

"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, upon us all a little rain must fall... it's just a little rain" Led Zeppelin Rain Song.

"Imma blunt blowin', polo drawers showin', I don't give a lovely motherfuck ass nigga" Lil Wayne Blunt Blowin.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MUSIC AND MUSICIANS?

[looasiooi]

@vejkelley21072 for Fucking REAL. Where the fuck is The Real music. Fuck Lil wayne.

i grew up to all the old shit, im pretty much a hippy. I love Led Zeppelin. 

[Ishatawk]

"Upon us all a little rain must fall." Words for life.

[SuperOrangebird]

in my opinion, better than Stairway

[genepoolshallow]

@SuperOrangebird Agreed

[ReBirthLunatic]

@SuperOrangebird woa, lets not jump ahead of ourselves there

[TheBaddestMFAlive]

@SuperOrangebird I don't wanna knock IV or Stairway- but they were just one of many of Zeppelin's masterpiece's- and agree with ya!

[reviseyourdemise]

@SuperOrangebird this is just one of led zeppelin's masterpiece but stairway is a pefect song :o

[SuperOrangebird]

@reviseyourdemise

both are great man, both are great :)

[arva300178]

@SuperOrangebird I wouldn't say better... different, maybe
