Lex is on the money with her analogy of this song. Love her interpretations of music, such a vivid imagination!!
One of the best explanations I've ever heard of this song!
Very incisve, I mean, she nailed it. The song is cathartic.
Lex would have been a legendary hippy chic from the late 60's and early 70's
@@mikemoneta7247 hell yes she would!
@@loosilu she has a vibe to her, could see her dressed in paisley, with a funky hat
In the record and movie Quadrophenia, this is the climactic song; Jimmy, the hero of the story, has discovered that everything he believed in is false, he's been totally betrayed by the stuff he's based his entire personality on. So picture an young man who's realized how sold out he's been, standing on the ledge, deciding whether to throw himself off or not. And when Roger Daltrey sings the final "LOVE!" you can decide for yourself what Jimmy decided to do.
yes final album track but not in the movie....
Quadrophenia Great movie also has a young guy named Sting in it as well
Some of the finest music ever created. Stands alone as a classic out of context. Several layers of double meanings and the rain as a relief and rescue instead of a curse.
This song proves Pete Townshend is one of the most versatile arrangers and songwriters of all time.
@@michaellord9 It sort of is as Jimmy is walking up the beach at the start which is sort of the end of the movie.
I was at The Who show at Rich Stadium in Buffalo back in 1989 and when The Who started playing Love Reign O'er Me it started to rain. Not a drop before. Afterwards, singer Roger Daltrey said to the crowd "Let's see the Stones top that."
Yeah, he’s comparing love to rain, the way it falls upon us. But the chorus isn’t “rain”, it’s “reign”, as in rule. Love, rule over me. Be my controlling principle.
townshend is an underrated songwriter
Good point, but even more, meld the two words, so all meanings of both words are together at the same time in the chorus
Oh yeah, it’s a play on words, for sure.
@@LordEriolTolkien I don't think so Those in the know, Know how great he is.
It’s a double entendre. It has both meanings at the same time.
The woman on this channel gets the poetry and the mood of these bands and I love it.
Lex’s immediate insight always amazes me. She’s always spot on.
I actually teared up a little bit when Lex explained the meaning of the song. That was so beautiful. I think she may be a musical savant.
I feel like Lex understood this song exceptionally well on the first listen. This track was from their Quadrophenia LP, which turned out to be a film of the same name. The moment was a very emotional one, in the film. Was lucky enough to see them perform this album in it's entirety when on their 'Quadrophenia and more' tour in 2012. Amazing soundtrack!✌
Yeah it was definitely a great show
Lex always gets it...💞
I got to see them at The Forum in the late 90’s. Giggled the entire time as I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
@@browntabproductions Saw them in '82 at l.a. Coliseum with The Clash opening for them whatta show!
@@Bulshitero Very Nice. I did see the Quadrophenia Show twice, and The Who in 1980 at the LA Sports Arena, it was the first Tour w/Kenny Jones, alas, I never got to see the Clash. Almost got to 2nd US Festival Memorial Day Weekend ‘83, but Not.
Brad, in terms of connecting with the song, it makes more sense in the context of the album, which is a rock opera. This song comes at the very end, and it is the resolution of all of the tensions that have been driving the story. I think the song is actually directed at God. Townshend wrote a number of love songs that were about the search for God, that can also be interpreted as loving another person. Like many great works of art, it can mean different things to different people. I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction!
@Vern Sherris emm but Brad wasn't born in the 60 Brad is born in the 21st technical era where someone in Scotland can know what country life in America was like at the click of a button.
@Vern Sherris Yes & NO!! I mean, there´s a culture clash, but that does not have anything to do with having (or not) experienced Mods & Rockers battles on the beach, mate.
I never experienced that either, and, despite it all, I felt absolutely connected with the song the first time I listened to it.
I think it has more to do with LACK OF MUSICAL SENSIBILITY. Period!
Roger Daltrey sings this with *passion*. This is the concluding track on their "Quadraphenia" album, which is basically a Rock opera. Lex gets the gold star for getting the dual motifs. The character in the story is having a catharsis; he wants to be subject to love ("reign" over him), and wants it to renew/refresh him ("Oh God I need a drink of cool, cool rain"). An epic finish to an epic album! 💯🔥
I'm a Brit currently living and working a long way from home...but this song, with the sound of the rain, and the sound of The Who, immediately takes me back there.
One of the greatest songs on one of the greatest albums, ever 🖤🖤🖤
My fav. Album then white album
I taught English for a lot of years and watching young people feel their way through an accurate interpretation--regardless of whether it connected emotionally or not--is such a delight. You guys are awesome. Thanks for bringing life to a song that came out when I was a teenager, and making it new all over again.
Lex, you are a genius!!!! Couldn't have explained the meaning of the song better if I tried. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this one. I always request it. Wot a f***ing epic song! Brad and Lex you are awesome.xxx
Yatzeeeee
Lex.. you got it!! Cool deep meaning!!
Agree! Great observation Lex and you two are awesome!
yep i helped get this on a poll. a true masterpiece
Awesome Job ✌️
I think this song is a freaking masterpiece. The piano at the beginning sounds like rain and thunder. Daltrey's vocals are outstanding and I love Townsend's guitar solo. So beautiful.
"The Real Me" from Quadrophenia is another killer track. Excellent bass from Entwhistle.
Probably the GOAT bass song .
@@daveminers3404 The Ox, John Paul Jones & Geddy Lee all tear it up using only four strings. "The Real Me" is one of the best!
Great song, great album!
Best Bass Ever!
From Quadrophenia. Listen to 515 and Real Me -- both very rockin
Has Brad ever connected with a song, all the videos I've seen he just sits there reading the lyrics and then says I don't get it. Lex feels it, she's a free spirit!
You're exactly right. Brad seems clueless, but Lex has an intuition for music ... she knows. 👍
This song is just perfect....from the one of the greatest albums of all time.
My fav album
I'm glad fate brought you two together face-to-face and then left the rest up to you. You two are perfect for each other - i hope your lives together are long and wonderful. Loved your reaction to this beautiful song. Thanks.
Wife here..You guys are rocking some classic rock tonight...Such a beautiful arrangement...so emotional yet STRONG..One of my husband's favorite songs!..AWESOME REACTION!!!
One of my favorite Who songs. Lex had most of what it means to me. Simplified, after a tough day, its who you go home to that makes everything all right. Its that person who gets you, unconditionally, together, you are not alone, you're a team. They wash away every stupid, screwed up moment of the day and make it easier to deal with just by being there. Money is great and makes life better in some ways, but love makes even the crappiest of situations withstandable. "LOVE Rein O'er Me" what a precious and grateful thought.
Brad & Lex, I'd recommend "Behind Blue Eyes" and "5:15" as song 6 & 7 for you!!
5:15 and Slip Kid
I'd recommend "The Real Me" from the Quadrophenia album if for no other reason than John Entwistle's amazing bass playing on the song.
And "Bargain". And "Another Tricky Day". And "Cry If You Want". And...
Oh Lex, my beautiful sweet 70s gal, you absolutely shined in this masterpiece! And absolutely nailed what this song is all about, which in my opinion, is The Who's best song! Rock on, girl!
Nice user name,,,,🤪👍
@@LordEagle Thank you! 😀
I love how Lex is in the music mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Whoop Whoop!!!! In a different way than normal, just want to see your faces change each time the the music changes! This is Amazing!!! Thank you!!! LOVE!!!!!
Jackpot! you just found the Who's best song 🎶
"The Real Me".........kills. One of the best bass lines in rock history.
this and Baba O'Rielly are my 2 favorite Who songs...Roger just brings the vocals!!!
Roger was preaching on this one!
It's 'Baba O'Reilly' - inspired by Meher Baba
This is love. It is the nurturing, the kissing, cuddling, lying asleep in each others arms, opening yourself up and being vulnerable. It is also the powerful, the "I will climb the highest mountain and swim the deepest sea, to come back to you". This song is a perfect 10.
As far as I'm concerned, this is Roger Daltrey's greatest moment, singing his a$$ off on a masterpiece of a song.
I've seen The Who twice in Seattle and this was my favorite song and Roger Daltrey was so amazing that you got goosebumps. They put on an incredible show.
Love how Lex instantly clicked with it - such a joy to watch. PLEASE react to The Who on the Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus doing A Quick One (While He's Away)!
Listened to this song thousands of times over the years and you've pointed out things I never thought of.
One of their BEST. It's just beautiful. 💥💥💥👍
This song is an emotional, epic, opus. A masterpiece. It is beautiful.
I have seen this song performed by The Who live twice in recent years with an orchestra. Both times was the closest I have come to crying at a rock concert. I have heard the song so many times recorded, but never live. I consider hearing once live with an orchestra a bucket list item I never thought I would experience. Twice was even better. In another reaction video for this song they have a better version of the lyrics. The lyrics actually switch back and forth between reign and rain and between O’er and on in some surprising places (in the chorus) as Lex mentions.
Finally. You just listened to the greatest rock love song by the best rock band in the world. Congratulations.
Thank you. I Love You guys.
I don't know what you do for a living Lex, but your intuitive feeling for art is an untapped resource.
Quadrophenia...one of the greatest albums and films ever made
I agree. I think you really do need to listen to the whole album to get the full context of this song.
A double concept album, you really need to do at one sitting. Amongst others in the film look out for Sting!
Who's Next is better but Quadrophenia is great
Its my favourite film of ale time, this song takes you on a emotional rollercoaster
Saw it in a theater when I was A kid it was awesome on the big screen.
I have nothing bad to say about the Who. And Daltrey's voice is just ideal for rock. Thanks, cats.
In this episode of Brad & Lex, luscious keys and rain saturate the atmosphere awaiting dashing strings and hi hats leading to lead singer Roger Daltrey in all his bravado followed by kicks, drumrolls and snares that engulf and evaporate all rainfall ironically yet allowing hope for more downpour. The monstrous sound shows no mercy to Brad as he becomes helpless kin to a palm tree in forceful wind "swaying" from side to side, apart yet so close to Lex whom at that moment unleashes her "rainmaker bop" along with "sorcery fingers". She will share her thoughts on the experience peacefully of the "artistic stuff" and continue to produce various "bops" and "sways" with spirit finger highlights, "push pulls", a few "oohs", and "cross snaps". "Bradbot" takes full accountability for his inability to express emotion.
I know she puts a spell on me!
Brava sir. Masterpiece
Very well said. ❤️🌸✌🏻
This is what I tune in for!
Oh, Smitty, you do it every time!
Lex, your reactions and explanations are sooo dead on. One of the greatest songs from one of the greatest bands.
Lex: you get it. The chaotic end is cathartic….all the emotion building up and crashing and then fading. Epic.
The term "O're" is a slang British word for over. I agree that it seems to be used for the word "on" as well.
This indeed is a very intense, and emotional song. Roger Daltry's vocals are superb.
The way she described it was brilliant
Roger Daltrey exceeded everyone's expectations of him on this track, proving that he was much, much more than 'just another pop singer!' He reigns o'er this song!
If anyone thought Daltrey was "just another pop singer" by the time they got to Quadrophenia they must have been living under a rock. The previous two albums were Tommy, and Who's Next for goodness sake.
But, I do agree this song is epic.
@@DavidVickery01 - Exactly!
I've heard this songs 100's of times and Lex nailed the meaning and was right on the nose about everything after listening to it once. I am super impressed! The songs Pete Townshend writes are visceral yet at the same time very much intellectual. He is very precise in his writing and there is always deep thought put into them. Great job Lex!!
Way to go Lex! The chorus verse is "Love reign o'er me", that is Love RULE OVER me (o'er is contraction of over). So it's the singer calling to be completely dominated and controlled by love.
What of the greatest pieces of music ever
The thing about Who music is that it moves in a way that literally makes me feel like I am floating up and down and around corners on an epic journey….ever since I was I kid…lifting and pulling.
Yup!
Lex nails it again.
The force is strong in this one.
An absolute masterpiece
I think Lex has nailed it. So much emotion and drama in the song, just like love can be. Such a great production as well.
I think Lex would absolutely love listening to Quadraphenia in its entirety. I feel like she world 'get it' immediately. Its very emotional. Its a masterpiece.
An absolutely great song and one of my favorites from The Who.
I also recommend The Real Me, 515, Dr. Jimmy, Squeeze Box, Join Together and The Kids Are Alright
Good selections, but don't forget Emminent Front
Long Live Rock,,,,,💥💥💥👍😎
Another fun Who song that everyone overlooks is “Sister Disco.”
I literally get goosebumps every time I hear this song.
Happened this time too.
She nailed it. The best explanation I've heard yet. Good on you, Lex. ❤️
Brad doesn't feel it. Lex: "Because you're Brad-Bot." That's fire! Although Brad, I do feel bad that you don't feel the emotion and power in your soul for songs like these. :-(
In fairness Brad is analytical. It's comforting to him if he can identify with it. He's actually started coming around a lot. His interpretation isn't always the common one but the fact he tries says a lot about his perseverance. Good for him for trying.
Brad bot is pretty spot on tbf 😆
@@GeorgeTropicana maybe it’s not Brad who’s the worst… maybe it’s you 🤷♀️
Brad always looks like he would rather be somewhere else.
Roger Daltrey’s vocals are to die for. Love that gorgeous man!!
Brings tears to my eyes everytime!
Reign (nor rain) is the more old-world concept of someone or somebody ruling. Think the reign of Henry VIII, as an example. In this instance he is seeking Love to rule his world
I've always seen 'Reign O'er Me' chorus as a plea to to have Love take over him. Reign can mean command, so he's asking for love to rule his life. Someone without love but longing for it might wish that on themselves. He's desperate. The rain vs reign aspect is just Pete Townsend's lyrical genius showing through. His songs have always been some of the most carefully crafted in rock, often taking him many months to write.
True that!
Conclusion of the Rock Opera Quadrophenia! You picked a great one here. Deserves another listen again and again, again.
One of my all time faves….so glad you liked it 💯🇬🇧
I always loved the range that The Who had with their music. It never gets old.
Lex has a great personality and is beautiful
Always liked this song. The only time I seen the Who was their "farewell" tour in the late 80's at Alpine Valley. We had lawn seats. When this song came on, it started to drizzle which seemed epic at that time. From that time on, I just loved this song.
I was fortunate enough to be one of the actual actors in the movie based upon this album.
When we all heard the album for the very first time, we knew that we were all going to be in something very special!
COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER THE WHO AND LEX! LOVE THIS BAND , SONG AND STYLE....
One of my favourite Who songs. Lex did a great job with explaining the rain symbolism. But he is also sing "reign o'er me" i.e. he wants love to rule him IMO
They are playing with the words RAIN, and REIGN, too. The rain is symbolic of the beautiful, like lovers sweating together, and purifying, the cooling and refreshing. And he's pleading that love will rule over him and save him from a tragic end.
Someone described this song as Beauty, Rage, Elegance. That describes it for me.
Always has been one of my favorite songs.
This is the very definition of a Lex song. Sorry Brad but Lex is like me and people like us were instantly connected to this song for life from the very first listen. No explanation was ever needed because this song was our heart and soul on display in full effect.
Such a beautiful piece of work. Everyone went all-in.
The WHO - "See Me, Feel Me / Listening To You" Live from Isle Of Wight .... straight 🔥F I R E
Lex feeling it! One of The Who's top 10 greatest songs of all time!
Wow...I really dig your analogy lex. Truly poetic.
Seriously.
There is hope for the future.
Y'all keep doing what you're doing.
I got to see them on their first final tour in 82. Top 5 live show I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of them
My favorite The Who song...it's just so powerful!!!
A truly majestic song.
LEX NEEDS A PODCAST..GREAT INTERPRETATION LEX
From 1979 to 1989 The Who were the best live act in the world, it is known!
I'm with but I'd go back to '69, especially because Keith Moon died in '78.
69 till Keith died they were one of the great live bands. Kenny Jones, his replacement was good but nothing on Keith. My favourite performance is live at the Isle of Wight festival 1970. Especially young man blues. Amazing power.
musical masterpiece
A masterful song. You can hear and feel the passion and emotion in every instrument in this epic song, including the vocals as an instrument.
One of their masterpieces.
This song always makes me think of my time in band in high school and college. At the beginning of the song the drum roll that then raises in tone. That’s done on a tympani drum and the pedal that changes the tone. They step on the pedal and play and the tone goes up. Release the pedal and the tone goes down.
That Outro alone, is enough to understand why Moon is somewhere in the top 5 All Time, and in the GOAT discussion.
Keith Moon's drums in this song are over-the-top awesome.
Love the production and airiness around the instruments
Keith Moon's drums are just nothing but amazing.
Brad is like The Terminator trying to understand human emoton.
"Why do you cry?"
More like a Vulcan 🖖 than a robot. Brad clearly has emotions but he just doesn't wear them on his sleeve. I think Brad's a sharp, serious guy and he doesn't like to be carried away.
Live long and prosper, Brad!
Lex had a great explanation of the song at the break....Love is not always easy!!
Lucky for Brad the song is a part of the Quadrophenia rock opera, (like a musical,) which has a film you can watch, and so you can see the scenes the song is paired with!
BTW, “o’er” is “over” with the v removed. In poetry, in particular, you can use the ‘ to take the place of a letter in a word and it often changes your syllable count: o-ver = 2 syllables; o’er = 1 syllable.
Lex, you got it. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Brad, close your eyes, just once, and sit back and listen. You don’t have to read the lyrics to understand the emotions of a song. Close your eyes. You’ll get it. Trust the song. 😉 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤘🏽
Lex is so cool, it's great how the two of you complement each other, fill in the gaps, or however you want to say it.
Roger Daltrey's screams for me are the most effective screams out there, straight from the soul.
Daltry's screams are absolutely earth-shattering! Can you imagine this song, or Won't Get Fooled Again, without Roger's screams?
I love how you guys balance each other
I seen the Who in Buffalo in 1982 And it rained when they played this song They even commented on it
“You’ve killed me scooter!!”
Roger Daltrey owns a spectacular voice. And Miss Lex has nailed the analogy.
