Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song Lyrics






It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time.

Talk, talk, talk, talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us...
But I know that I love you so. But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the wind they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient - Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall.
It's just a little rain oh yeah

    Zepplin was around to inspire longer then the Beatles themselves. They could as a group be ego challenges to whats next to created and be famous to lost ourselves upon. That's the Beatles History.

    Super great song. They have a wide variety of music.

  24. P.... d....

    This is art (not another hype for narrow minded men or women) for people who are able to live with deep-grounded feelings! Thank you dear Sirs Page-Plant-Jones-Bonham!!! You may not be interested but the main key or tone-scales are G-Mixolydian and D-Dorian! Dorian tunes and also mixolydian keys were used from the ancient times on to our times. The great vedic saint Narada Muni and later the greek master-mind Pythagoras already explained how these tunes reflect the order of the cosmos. They trigger peace of mind! Therefore these compositions are so smooth! I am thrillred by these heavenly sounds! Led Zeppelin from the beginning brought in a wide spectrum of traditions. Of course blues is always an important component. And then you have Folk-rock-elements and of course anglo-celtic moods and they invented a genious type of heavy-rock and gothic feeling! ("No quarter is composed very heavy, deep triggering our souls; it is of course gothic-rock, very heavy and "The Ocean" is an ideal hard-rock-highpoint with a playful blues-experience).These LZ-members are all genius. They mixed in the best tunes of the main traditions for widening our consciousnes! The proof is that LZ is liked by more and more people because everybody is an eternal spiritual soul without a beginning and no end. Yes we all are eternal god-particles who are triggerd by these cosmic harmonies. I need no other proof than my own experience!!! Everybody is an individual gem-stone in the eternal world with specific aura, taste and mission. For me Led Zeppelin proofs that god is the center for all his children , and everybody is welcome in the radiation of our heavenly Mother-Father-source. This music triggers our souls to god-consciousness. Therefore the LZ-experience happens deep in our souls. The LZ-wonder is based on four Avatares who descended from heaven to boost our minds and souls!!! Sorry for my long statement!!! I try to do it shorter next time! Thank you sir for uploading these wonder-songs in the playground of youtube! This my statement is also especially ment for all the songs of "Houses of the Holy". This album was the main source of inspiration from 1973 to 1980. It was a milestone in music-history: "The song remains the same," "The rain song," "Over the hills and far away", "No quarter" and "The Ocean" build a genius playground for all our fantasies! Of course all LZ-Albums are genius in their own way, different moods. LZ is a miracel, there can be no doubt!

    Last but not least here are the main tone-scales of the Rain-song:

    G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G (= G-Mixolydian)
    D-E-F-G-A-B-C-D (= D-Dorian)

    I tryed it out on my keyboard today and played some additional tunes parallel to the song. Try it yourself! It is a natural way to get very peaceful! (Yes that is the miracle: LZ boost our souls with heavy rock-styles , and at the same time they calm us down to a natural way of life with a wide spectrum of fantasies; yes they are great artists of course! Many LZ-songs combine many different styles to new hights!)

    Use a -bontempi-keyboard with the following sound-combination: 064 (Syntthetic brass) and 102 (Goblins) and add 24 (Sustain) and 22 (Chorus); style = 011 (New Age), tempo around 085/minute!!!

    Sorry I forgot to reflect on the genius cover of the album. My experience is that these children look for higher realms and harmony by climbing these romantic mountains! The cover is a milestone of gothic-rock-expressions! It always inspires me to indulge in higher emotions in the realm of our eternal source (god).
    Now my last sentence: My favourite LZ-Song is "Tea for one", a genius blues-creation with sky-rocking Page-Solos, heavy Bonham-nectar, genius bass-lines by Mr. Jones and of course the deepest exressions of Mr. Robert Plant

  25. A.... G....

    the song not the fucking pics get a life ass holes

  26. M.... R....

    When I was in kindergarten to 5th grade my dad played this song to wake me up every day and now he told me when he was my age he listened to the song every night in bed and just listen and he knew then he’d play this to me when i grew up

  27. O.... S....

    Everyone says Stairway to Heaven and Led Zeppelin IV, sorry, but i keep with Rain Song and Houses of the Holy

    O.... S....

    Not Stairway but When the Levee Breaks!

  28. E.... B....

    I post on facebook on a regular basis when it rains at my home.

  29. g.... r....

    Courtney ..Arielle.. Calvin .... Tahlia .,,, i love you

  30. A.... S....

    Houses of the Holy has always been my favorite Led Zeppelin album since I was 16. When I was 18 I threw a paper route in my 84 Ford Thunderbird and I jammed this album all the time. Now listening to Rain Song is always bittersweet .

  31. J.... S....

    Composition.......Like No Others.....is what sets These Cats apart in Musical History.....and am I Thankful.... I was in This Era... To Experience these Masterpieces....AS You Listen!!!

    It is the springtime of my loving
    The second season I am to know
    You are the sunlight in my growing
    So little warmth I've felt before
    It isn't hard to feel me glowing
    I watched the fire that grew so low, oh
    It is the summer of my smiles
    Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
    Speak to me only with your eyes
    It is to you I give this tune
    Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
    These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh
    Oh, oh
    Oh, oh
    Oh
    Talk talk, talk, talk
    Hey, I felt the coldness of my winter
    I never thought it would ever go
    I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
    But I know that I love you so
    Oh, but I know
    That I love you so
    These are the seasons of emotion
    And like the wind, they rise and fall
    This is the wonder of devotion
    I see the torch
    We all must hold
    This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
    Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
    Just a little rain, oh
    Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

  47. R.... F....

  56. Z.... K....

    "Uczucia są jak pory roku, niczym wiatr wzbierają i cichną..." Piękne, nostalgiczne , porywające za serce!

  57. T.... W....

    Tried playing this in standard tuning for years, incredibly hard. But, thanks to YouTube I discovered Jimmy’s alternate tuning and it was a breeze lol. What a freaking genius to the 10th power!

  58. B.... L....

    This one time I learned this song on the guitar and my cat lux calmly sat in front of me and listened. He was a kitten a that time which made it much cuter and wholesome. Hes been gone a year now. This is for you buddy

  59. L.... Z....

    Beautiful....:)

  60. S.... F....

    As a young teen in the 80's, I used to lie on my bedroom floor with my headphones on, listening to this song, along with other Zeppelin songs, paying attention to every sound with my eyes closed...It was heavenly beautiful...

  61. B.... O....

    Grew up in this era..so so miss it...peace everyone 💜

  62. V.... �....

    I just got my heart broken in milion pieces. Why am I listenig to this song?

  63. R.... T....

    You would have to have been there

  64. M.... H....

    “I’m only ______ years old, but I should’ve been born in the 60s. This is real music . I had the music my friends all listen to , it all sucks and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...”

    M.... H....

    Get real! Can't you people tell he's being a sarcastic jerk?

  65. A.... A....

    This one... yes!

  66. P.... T....

    every guitar touched by jimmy page is no longer a guitar, it becomes real magic

    Instant zen state 😌

  70. J.... B....

    My high school day nice memory love ya for reading this here have a great life lol

  71. j.... j....

    Back when the mass majority of music had heart and before the mass majority of music was mass produced

  72. n.... ....

    I can hear the beginning of Sonic Youth here- just listen to the guitars..

  73. k.... d....

    Goddam i love her soo much :c listening to led zepp love songs non stop :D

  74. J.... D....

    When those strings kick in.....wow!

  75. M.... U....

    How could so many people down vote this song? Weird.

  76. k.... k....

    Para los dias de nieve.Y a los que nos les gusta pues eso,nunca pasaron por eso.

  77. S.... ....

    *A bunch of naked children... well that's really appropriate, isn't it. Yah, for a disgusting pedo... like alot of these "celebs"*

    NO, it's NOT "cute" nor innocent. If you are "awake," then you know exactly what I'm talking about!

    Time for all to wake up!

    Perfect anthem takes 4 minutes to essentially begin.

  79. J.... R....

  80. p.... ....

    I will have to hear the original mix now ....this is so weird for someone who did 1000 bong hits listening to the first mix/but can also appreciate the remix similarity to "How Soon is Now"

  81. R.... S....

    Loved Zep since first listen [summer '69, Orinda California.] As time went on their idiotic critics labelled them 'heavy metal'. This song has an unbelievable dynamic range, a wistful/romantic message and just isn't metallic! And it wasn't the first time they had released folkier, more laid back masterpieces. Ramble On, anyone.........................?

  82. D.... c....

    Brings me back to high school parties a hundred years ago and this playing in the background 😊

  83. B.... H....

    I remember having to write a poem in class in high school 79 or so and I wrote down the lyrics to this song. Can't remember if I got an A. But I should have. Lol

  84. k.... s....

    Do I wanna take it there? Who is the only one that ever came thru?

    k.... s....

    You'll see this time is nothing special or new to me

    k.... s....

    A nickel for your Chrysler.

    k.... s....

    You plan your banquet by the way the arrow goes. You aim at anything.

    That's why there's so much wild life among your kind.

    k.... s....

    I'm speaking directly to McDonald's.

  85. G.... C....

    I love Led Zeppelin. I hate this song.

    G.... C....

    Congrats on having a very valid opinion. A sad, lonely opinion, but I hate things other people like also.

    G.... C....

    It ain't Misty Mountain Hop, dude

  86. r.... A....

    Probable the ballad more relaxing

  87. m.... m....

    Una delle mie preferite dei mitici Leds Romantica malinconica con queste venature folk blues molto soft e con gli archi elettronici del mellotron suonato da John Paul Jones oltre al pianoforte Altro capolavoro altro gioiello di questo splendido album uno dei miei preferiti della band

  88. R.... G....

    Perfect

  89. r.... R....

    This can't be Eddie vedder 🐸

  90. L.... W....

    SWEET MEMORIES!!!!

  91. T.... W....

    One of my favorite zepp songs! A brilliant song by 4 brilliant musicians!

  92. M.... J....

    all you all freakin broke my heart what I had left!

  93. K.... S....

    Before I die I want to meet him he is the best guitarist ever

  94. K.... S....

    I’m obsessed with Jimmy page

  95. K.... S....

    I remember a small
    Town band playing when I was 14 just when dancing days was out now I can’t believe that I never saw them I would do anything to see them now :(

  96. 3.... ....

    Thanks---Can't help slight preference for the live '73 version, even more sweetness and power. Don't know how JP came through composing this in the first place. Then he plays it for Plant and says, "Any ideas for lyrics?" Plant: "Yeah, let's rip their hearts out, pulverize them and leave them in a loving heap." Page: "As usual?" Yep.

  97. B.... L....

    Thank you god of Rock for allowing me to live through Led Zeppelin's existence in music....
    When music was great and not just commercial noise to make money.

  98. R.... G....

    liberty mutual doesnt kno im too broke to have a car

  99. J.... N....

    Perhaps the greatest led Zeppelin song of all time

  100. D.... D....

    Geniuses of their day! RP,most gymnastic voice ever! JP, double neck? 💙JB, The Best beater ever and forever! ✌️💜😇🌠🔥✨🎼🎸
