Reviews for The rain song Lyrics

I became a fan of LZ in late 60s. But after Led Zeppelin III, I sort of didn't follow them or buy their LPs. Still love their first three albums. Last week my wife and I went to a Led Zeppelin inspired concert accompanied by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Randy Jackson was the vocalist. The Rain Song was the third song played. I can't get it out of my mind. It is as haunting a song as I've ever heard. I looked at the lyrics...all I can say is they are mysterious. Why isn't music like this made anymore?

This is one of my favorites by them. I don't think anyone will ever come close to tje talent and magic of Led Zeppelin. I dedicate this song to my husband and our firat (just born) child. It's perfect. Still a little sad he didnt want me to name her Kashmir or Rain. Lol

Dear reviewer named Charles,

The rain song is on Houses of the Holy, which came out after led zeppelin IV and is their third to last studio album. The sound personified by the rain song is indicative of their later works, in opposition to the harder metal sound of led zeppelin II or III. chronology, man. Get it.

I'm a big fan, I am at a loss that the best music never gets any radio time, Stairway to heaven granted good song but not their best by a long shot. This songs proves it. Their earliest works are the best they ever did.

This song was dedicated to me by my boyfriend, when at his lowest point in life. I am so glad i had a chance to listen to it. Now i know he has regained hope and a new respect for life. That makes me feel ecstatic and special in a unique way. THANK YOU MY HUNY!! His love will see us thru, just believe....

This song has been meaninful to me way before I could even understand the lyrics. It has a strength in itself that puts you in a very special place, at least puts me. You might also wanna try "My Favorite Things", with Julie Andrews, turn the volume up 3 notches.

Is better than the houses of the holy version. Since it is in a different key. The key of a minor ehich gives the song more emotion and feeling than the origi al. Page and jones really play well togethwr. Lyrically both simple yet complex in the meaning. What i get is that in order to appreciate the true love we have we must have the flame of love drenched in tears both literally and mystically. A truly great song with a depth of feeling unmatched

to unheralded genius.i couldn't agree with u more. lost under the head phones in another world, rain song...., or any tune they ever did. we were kids too. i think that's the reason why you and i get so sentimental

This takes me back. Waaay back. Sitting on the floor of my mostly empty first apartment in front of my little stereo system with the headphones clapped over my ears, I first listened to Rain Song play in a loop until my eyes were wet with tears at the beauty of it. And it's still so beautiful and even more meaningful some 34 years later.

Great to know that others recognize the pure genius of LZ, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple (Why is it that the best bands ever were all British)? I heard this song again after many years when I watched the movie "Cemetery Junction." It's the last song in the film , and there couldn't have been a more perfect song chosen. If you really want to feel uplifted and blown away, watch the film!! The film makers did an absolutely masterful job of incorporating the song into the film!! If you loved this song before you'll love it even more when she appears just as the rain song reaches it's crescendo. The best!!

I have heard this song several time over the years and until I met someone very special it had no meaning, but as I really listened to it I understood so many things. How we fall in love when we are young and we stay with that person for so many years. We watch our love grow cold, the embers die and than the heat is just a fond memory, and we just live with once was a love. If we are lucky we realize before its too late that there is another life to begin, another life to live. Do we take the chance that we can recapture that fire?...so that we may hold it close to us and let it burn brighter than we could ever imagine?...not all of us are so lucky to be able to find that love later in life...I was and this song says it all...the second season I am to know...

I had a 65 Rambler in high school with an 8 track. The year 1977, listened to this on 8 track/album well over a 1000 times. My favorite Zep album and my favorite song. If it's not mentioned elsewhere, check out The Rain Song on Wikapedia. Very interesting.

Can you imagine how it was listening to LZ 1 through 4 as they came out one after another? Mst of us were kind of disappointed by III, but IV just blew the top off our freeking world (I was in High School at the time). So when I learned the LZ would have another album coming out I walked to the record store (sometimes called LP's then) to order/reserve a copy. I wanted to have the first copy of that new album in my town. Then I waited. and waited. THen I started walking to the record store a couple times a week. Then every day. Those people hated me "don't you want to buy something else while you're here? I'm hearing rumors about how good it is but the local stations aren't playing it. Me and my friends are going nuts. Finally one day I show up at the record store and it's actually there. I still haven't heard one single song off it because the radio stations don't have it yet (though they're playing Stairway and Levee Breaks every five minutes). I run home, put it on my record player and listen all by myself. Practically nothing to read on the album cover. The first thing I hear is the triumphant anthem The Song Remains the Same. Amazing. Then I hear for the very first time the best song ever written. The Rain Song. Thank You God for giving the world genius like this.

this song and the band are always be the best for me..
First time i heard them, they gave me something different, i can't explain the music who brought by them..
Their music can give me spirit while i'm through my days so badly..

This is an amazing song, with so much feeling put forth. One time, I was camping with my best friend at Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave Desert. No other campers around so we put on some tunes. The Rain Song came on... We listened to it echo off the canyon walls, it was a very spiritual thing. The song moves me deeply, and it's nice to see others feel the same.
