The story goes something like George Harrison was chatting to Jimmy Page and a party and was telling him he was a big fan of him as a guitarist but didn't think Led Zeppelin were much of a band because they hadn't written a ballad. Then Jimmy and the boys wrote this lovely piece. JPJ shows his work as a multi instrumentalist and Jon Bonham shows great restraint, just giving the song want it needs.
Such a beautiful song! There are only a couple of Zeppelin songs that can make me cry. The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, and Thank you. My husband and I try to watch The Song Remains The Same at least once a year...love this! Thanks! 💖☮ I bet you would love Robert Plant and Tori Amos singing Down By The Seaside...😊😘😉 If you haven't heard it already.
Don't forget "All Of My Love" which Robert Plant wrote in tribute to his 5 year old son Karac who died while Led Zeppelin was on tour in the USA. Karac caught some sort of stomach virus which took his life. Led Zep cancelled the rest of the tour and flew back home to the UK. Once you know the story behind the song, "All Of My Love" is also a song that saddens the heart, almost like Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven".
You 2 have great taste in music , and lucky for you " nik" your partner can play it for you , and thanks for the " steely dan" shout out !!!!!!!!! From monterey , California...............
No orchestra in the song it's all done by the bassist John Paul Jones who uses a Mellotron which is a keyboard instrument to create the strings sounds of an orchestra....my favorite LZ song
She is adorable. Both of you are good people. This is evident after 2 minutes. I am really enjoying this couple and her first reaction. He sings to her and her eyes light up the camera. Great! Love it!
@@hatsbo1 And SO much more! It's the flute in "Strawberry Fields" (and the flamenco guitar in "Bungalow Bill"), and is heard in Skynyrd's "Freebird" and "Tuesday's Gone," and "Seger's "Turn the Page." The BBC used it for sound effects. What a great instrument!!
Lex's headwear is on point. Love this Zeppelin song, it's always been one of my faves. I like how it starts so mellow and builds up throughout the song. Good to see you guys again!
Such a beautiful song!! I watch the live acoustic version by Paige and Plant at least once a week!! Purely majestic and the “nod” that Plant gives Paige at the end is priceless!!!
So I’m not sure if you’ve ever watched The Song Remains the Same video but it is just transcendent incredible. It flows right in from the song called The Song Remains the Same. It is what Bill and Ted would describe as Most Triuphant.
Always enjoy your reactions when finding gems and jewels in the treasure chest that was filled to overflowing by the masters of their craft It is not lost on me that these are the same feelings we had back when this music was new to all humanity ✌
Hi Nick, Hi Lexi. Hope you are both feeling well. Thank you so much for reacting to the Rain Song... What a beautiful and brilliant track. I really love Led Zeppelin and this album is stunning. I always think how they decided to write the album that followed Led Zep 4... either stick with the same or be brave. I really loved all the first 4 albums..but the band were so brave with this album. We had some tracks with a big reggae vibe , even funk and disco. It is such a eclectic album. Nick.. it was great the way you played the beginning to Lexi and you could see in Lexi's face how much she loved it. Hope all goes well with your move. Thank you for inviting us into your living room and being part of your family. Looking forward to your next reaction. Peace and love from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️
I just watched your reaction for the second time. I love how your take adds so much to my enjoyment of a song I know very well. Hopefully you two do a video sometime where we get to see Nick's guitar work and Lex on bass. I know it is a lot of work for you two to put out all this content but I just want to say that this channel is great.Thanks for all you do.
@@michelemichele3375 Well thanks to NicknLex I got to meet you too. This channel just keeps giving. Have a great weekend and hopefully i will see you in the next live chat.
@@vicprovost2561 For me I have always, since the early to mid 70s, had 6 pioneering bands that can never be surpassed or other bands from any era can hope to even come close these are Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Renaissance, The Beatles and Yes.
THANK YOU! Yes! People think I'm dissing Page when I talk like that! Good guitarist.....great guitar composer! And spectacular producer! I think Jeff Beck is a much better guitarist.....but he can't write a song! Page knew how to make an album as good as any one in the 70s (plus 1969), some of the greatest. And sure, yes, some spectacular guitar work..... also some sloppy guitar work! I love him for the production, arranging, songwriting more than anything.
ten years gone is a song for the ages-a fantastic composition all around... RAIN SONG is yuck - a weak/pale stairway lite tune. Real Men don't do The Rain Song.
I love your emotional reactions to great music... It affects me the same way! Zeppelin always masterfully balanced the Light and Dark in their music. Special song and a special reaction! Be Well, Stay Safe Peace and Love 🎶☮🎶
Wow! Great reaction! Great choice, Nick. One of the top 5 Led Zeps for me. Lex, this one will really burrow into your heart each time you listen. Seriously, you both have simply the best emotional faces for this kind of listening. Keeps me coming back Thank you! Have a great move and a great birthday month.
I just love both of your reactions - I love Nick's emotion, it's exactly like me, whether Joni Mitchell or Led Zeppelin or even Steely Dan, there are songs that just resonate something emotional in me and tears can just....happen! Music is such a wonderful thing - great videos guys!
And in the same vein, don't forget to experience the sublimely introspective and utterly original "That's the Way" from Led Zeppelin III. A must listen Page masterpiece!
Somebody in a thread on a reaction vid recently pointed out the similarity between that one-step chordal slide/slur here, and that in the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now'. Had never made that connection before, as much as I love both songs! Thanks for sharing this. ;>D
Nick you must let Lex watch the live version from the movie "The Song Remains The Same" - as Robert Plant shows his fantasy as King Arthur and live "The Rain Song" is more powerful and so emotional it reduces me to tears every time. Love the reaction to this. It is such a beautiful song but live takes it to another level.....as does "Since I've Been Loving You" from the same movie's live performance....Now that really does gets the tears flowing. ....[ Heck just watch the movie guys ! ! ! Lol ]
@@RKSidd - Actually that is good advice which I totally agree. Listen to the live album version first ...then enjoy the movie as a whole rather than just that clip. Yes you are right. Thankyou.
The most classic of albums for me personally from the mighty Led Zeppelin. Played this to death as a 10 year old in 73. My best friends brother had all the Zeppelin albums up to that point and this is the album that resonates with me the most. At that time I was listening to the newly released Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd & Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Not a bad start to my musical journey in life.
Even though Zeppelin is a 70's band for the most part their music is essentially timeless. No matter how many times I hear them they just don't seem to become dated. Quite amazing really.
One of my favorite Zeppelin tunes, easily the best song on the album. Others I really like are In The Light, Ten Years Gone, and for a real treat Carouselambra. Oh, and Tangerine! Definitely Tangerine.
The outro is so great because the song is over. Joking of course. This song is so lush and well played and put together. This comes from one of their pretty good albums, and this is one of the songs that makes it pretty good.
My older brother turned me onto Led Zeppelin 1. I was Blessed to see them on the Physical Graffiti tour. Awesome Concert. Jimmy played his guitar with a violin bow. Kashmir would be a great listen.
As much as I love The Houses of the Holy version, the version on The Song Remains the Same demonstrates Led Zeppelin in full flight and at the height of live performances. The live performance actually has more intricate nuances, and is even more dramatic.
I had a summer job when I was still at school . I was helping a decorator . I used to take a little cassette player and listen to Houses of the Holy all day every day .. It was probably 40 years ago and it still brings a tear to my eye .. Peace and love 👍🏻☮♥️
Anyway to add to the long story below. Our worlds fell apart. I talked to him and we wrote letters almost every day. It was just one of those things that was meant to be but never was. We kept in touch for all these years. I wondered why I had not heard for him for several months. I looked at his facebook page and freaked out (december) to read he had died earlier that Spring. This songs for you, Marcus
I was obsessed with Zeppelin in high school. I had every bootleg I could find.. Some of their live performances were absolutely epic with 20+ minute drum solos etc... Lex is looking very beautiful tonight... And a beautiful song to boot.
I know everyone wants to give you their suggestions, and I'm gonna do it too. Based on what Lex might've missed, I'm gonna highly recommend: That's The Way (Zeppelin III) for how gorgeous it is, The Song Remains the Same (Houses of the Holy) for what a banger with all kinds of cool time changes it is, and Ten Years Gone (Physical Graffiti) for how layered and rich it is. Great to see you guys listening to this -- just a masterpiece, and beautifully arranged and recorded by Jimmy Page.
You picked two of my favorites: "That's The Way" and "The Song Remains The Same". Those two songs DEFINITELY!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY "The Song Remains The Same"!
When I saw the notification about this one, I thought "really - you never heard The Rain Song"? So Lex never heard it. I can see that. You would have had to buy the album back in the day to hear this. It didn't play on the radio. I also thought "Led Zeppelin has probably taken it down already". I'm glad they're letting stuff stay up more. There is also a perfectly perfromed live version of this song on TH-cam that you should watch. This is one of the Led Zeppelin songs I bring up when people start telling me "Led Zeppelin just copied a bunch of blues songs". Really? Point me to a blues artist who tuned their guitar to DGCGCD.
Love this song!! Nick, your air guitar/cello/keyboard/drums and lip syncing were on point. 😂 Lex, your facial expressions were priceless. You guys have to react to Ten Years Gone from Physical Graffiti. It is my favorite Zeppelin song. Enjoy your vacation!!!!!
Led Zeppelin one of the iconic greats of the late 60s/ early 70s pioneering bands which other bands can only look/ listen and take note, thank you Nik and Lex for yet another meaningful emotional reaction always do these reviews with so much love of music. A request for the next Yes track you do - Awaken Live 1977 GFTO tour this is the only tour ever where they played 'The Flight Jam' which is the original Intro (not on the Album) to this song, it takes this song to a whole new level and you guys will be the first to react to this unique live track.
I played in a Led Zep tribute band called The Bridge and this was so fun to play live. We did the live version with the tympani parts one of my favorites!
Rain Song and That's The Way from LZ 3 are two of the favs to me with the acoustic side they have .. You should checkout That's the Way . .Robert has many good solo songs also,,, I Believe that is about his boy and I'm In The Mood ,Heaven Knows, ,29 Palms and many others ....
It makes my heart leap with joy to hear "The Rain Song" and to experience the reaction from the two of you. Stay in love with each other and this excellent music!
I love it! Listening to these songs makes me cry as well. Remembering my younger days of freedom and going to see the great bands (Stones, Yes, Rod Stewart, David Bowie) and of course Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin was a band that created an opus for every album. You really had to listen to the whole album at once to get the full experience. One song here or there not really. Here in Cleveland at WNCX they do a Led Zeppelin A-Z marathon every few years. Top 3 Rock bands of all time with only The Beatles and Stones above them. I miss the early days of twitter when JP would give lessons. Really one of the down to Earth people you can ever come to know or be acquainted with. "Thank You" for this wonderful reaction. That was also pretty cool of you to drop a band from NEO. Mark's band Devo. in case you don't know NEO is North East Ohio.
I know this song very well as it is one of my favourites. I saw Robert Plant & Jimmy Page play this live with an orchestra and Jimmy did not miss a single note. I am glad you younger people are listening to this wonderful music.
While Led Zeppelin has so many kick**s songs, Rain Song is my favorite by far. Page's guitar play has a feel that can't be described in words. I stumbled upon the tuning for this song on a TH-cam channel whiled stationed overseas away from my family and dedicated a great deal of time learning it (I am nowhere near as talented as Nick on guitar). It was so rewarding to learn this gem. Post Script: If you aren't familiar, check out the Page/Plant Unplugged version. Jimmy's pick work at the end is worth the watch.
Zeppelin is known as a rock/blues band, but their acoustic work is some of the best in the music business
The story goes something like George Harrison was chatting to Jimmy Page and a party and was telling him he was a big fan of him as a guitarist but didn't think Led Zeppelin were much of a band because they hadn't written a ballad. Then Jimmy and the boys wrote this lovely piece. JPJ shows his work as a multi instrumentalist and Jon Bonham shows great restraint, just giving the song want it needs.
Jimmy Page was influenced by many English folk guitarists like Bert Jansch who he stole Black Mountain Side from (Black Waterside on Janch's album).
Zeppelin could do it all.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The arrangement is perfection too.
It shows the importance of JJP in the band. The man is just brilliant.
One of their best!!!!!!!
A beautiful love song!!
It's tracks like this that make Zeppelin the greatest rock band of all time. Pure Zeppelin.
The Mellotron bit in the middle is amazing.
This is definitely by far the most beautiful song in the Led Zeppelin catalog.... and personally my favorite song by them. ✌❤🌹
AMEN me too, my fave!
Mine too!
"Thank You" is a close second.
Thank you that's the way going to California and over the hills and far far away is my favorite by the greatest band ever led Zeppelin Allahu Akbar
You really can't go wrong with Led Zeppelin. I really enjoyed Nick giving us a little taste of his playing too.
Such a beautiful song! There are only a couple of Zeppelin songs that can make me cry. The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, and Thank you. My husband and I try to watch The Song Remains The Same at least once a year...love this! Thanks! 💖☮ I bet you would love Robert Plant and Tori Amos singing Down By The Seaside...😊😘😉 If you haven't heard it already.
Ten years gone and going to California always get me

Karac caught some sort of stomach virus which took his life. Led Zep cancelled the rest of the tour and flew back home to the UK.

One of their best.
No orchestra in the song it's all done by the bassist John Paul Jones who uses a Mellotron which is a keyboard instrument to create the strings sounds of an orchestra....my favorite LZ song
Makes me very emotional!❤

Thank you so much!
Sheer beauty, especially that slide chord. Nice job playing, Nick. This was a sweet surprise. Raising my glass ... Thanks ✨🤪
This is my all time favorite Zep song.
This is my favorite LZ song...has been for decades. Helps that I love Mellotron!
Oh yay!! My favorite LZ song. Its so melodic. I love the guitar in it. I hope you enjoy. ❤️
My favorite Led Zeppelin song of all time! Actually there are 3 TH-cam reaction videos that I have requested for this song. 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
John Paul Jones played the mellotron. These are the orchestral sounds we hear. No cellos!
Correct. And Jones' arrangement of that and the piano is wonderful. Long live the mellotron!
The mellotron was a instrumental part of the prog movement, Genesis, Yes, etc.
@@hatsbo1 And SO much more! It's the flute in "Strawberry Fields" (and the flamenco guitar in "Bungalow Bill"), and is heard in Skynyrd's "Freebird" and "Tuesday's Gone," and "Seger's "Turn the Page." The BBC used it for sound effects. What a great instrument!!
@@joeniedbala Briefly heard in Yes's "Roundabout" & Jethro's "Witches Promise" too.
And one of the other exponents of the Mellotron was the Moody Blues!
Beautiful song.
Lex, the scarf looks stunning on you. It's a happy scarf.
I'm sitting outside and it's raining here now and always loved this tune for more than one reason all things are clear from time to time 🙃
Lex's headwear is on point. Love this Zeppelin song, it's always been one of my faves. I like how it starts so mellow and builds up throughout the song. Good to see you guys again!
The song remains the same theatrical would be a cool full live review
Hey CT. What a great reaction and quite unexpected. And you’re right - Lex is gorge in the scarf and hoops. Nice nightcap. Thanks ✨🤪
Best band ever 😊
This is just one of my favorite Led Zeppelin, Ten Years Gone is another beautiful song.
Such a beautiful song!! I watch the live acoustic version by Paige and Plant at least once a week!!
Purely majestic and the “nod” that Plant gives Paige at the end is priceless!!!
Agreed. The Page and Plant is an absolutely sublime performance.
It is the springtime of my loving...
Such a beautiful song
Probably the best band ever.
So I’m not sure if you’ve ever watched The Song Remains the Same video but it is just transcendent incredible. It flows right in from the song called The Song Remains the Same.
It is what Bill and Ted would describe as Most Triuphant.
.....brings me right back to college
days fall '84 BGSU... Smooooth!
This takes me back to being 16 years old and in love for the very first time. 1976. That first love is so intense.

Lex would love Thats the Way…..another beautiful melody….
One of my favorite Zeppelin songs!
This is one of those that you need to just lean back, close your eyes and let the music take you where it will.

As good a guitarist as Jimmy Page is, his greatest talent is arranging and layering tracks.
I think you're right there.
The production from this band as they went along is nothing short of astonishing. For many, the best band ever. 🎸

@@78yestor93 I have to add The Who, Black Sabbath and of course the Rolling Stones All great bands in any event.
The Rain Song and Ten Years Gone are the best compositions by Led Zep in my humble opinion, love their rockers also for different reasons
ten years gone is a song for the ages-a fantastic composition all around... RAIN SONG is yuck - a weak/pale stairway lite tune. Real Men don't do The Rain Song.
I first heard this album in my teens. I laid on my bed and couldn't move but to flip the record over. Breathless for along time.
I love your emotional reactions to great music...
It affects me the same way!
Zeppelin always masterfully balanced the Light and Dark in their music.

And in the same vein, don't forget to experience the sublimely introspective and utterly original "That's the Way" from Led Zeppelin III.
A must listen Page masterpiece!
Page's acoustic work is just fantastic.

My older brother turned me onto Led Zeppelin 1. I was Blessed to see them on the Physical Graffiti tour. Awesome Concert. Jimmy played his guitar with a violin bow. Kashmir would be a great listen.

Absolutely!
My favorite part is the very end of the song when Jimmy Page has his eyes closed.
John Paul Jones stretched the keyboard part really long. Listen for example to the Copenhagen concerts from 1980.
The song remains the same and the rain song from that concert are and should be the ultimate versions.
Yes it’s Epic!
I had a summer job when I was still at school . I was helping a decorator . I used to take a little cassette player and listen to Houses of the Holy all day every day ..
It was probably 40 years ago and it still brings a tear to my eye ..
Peace and love 👍🏻☮♥️

Saw Zep twice in concert. Unbelievable live.
Nick, just like you I haven't listened to this song in a long time (probably 25+ years). Brings back memories from my teen years up through college..

You would have had to buy the album back in the day to hear this. It didn't play on the radio. I also thought "Led Zeppelin has probably taken it down already".

This is one of the Led Zeppelin songs I bring up when people start telling me "Led Zeppelin just copied a bunch of blues songs". Really? Point me to a blues artist who tuned their guitar to DGCGCD.
John Paul Jones shines on this beautiful song. For my money their finest.
Love this song!! Nick, your air guitar/cello/keyboard/drums and lip syncing were on point. 😂 Lex, your facial expressions were priceless. You guys have to react to Ten Years Gone from Physical Graffiti. It is my favorite Zeppelin song.

I love it! Listening to these songs makes me cry as well. Remembering my younger days of freedom and going to see the great bands (Stones, Yes, Rod Stewart, David Bowie) and of course Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin was a band that created an opus for every album. You really had to listen to the whole album at once to get the full experience. One song here or there not really. Here in Cleveland at WNCX they do a Led Zeppelin A-Z marathon every few years. Top 3 Rock bands of all time with only The Beatles and Stones above them. I miss the early days of twitter when JP would give lessons. Really one of the down to Earth people you can ever come to know or be acquainted with. "Thank You" for this wonderful reaction. That was also pretty cool of you to drop a band from NEO. Mark's band Devo. in case you don't know NEO is North East Ohio.
I know this song very well as it is one of my favourites. I saw Robert Plant & Jimmy Page play this live with an orchestra and Jimmy did not miss a single note. I am glad you younger people are listening to this wonderful music.
While Led Zeppelin has so many kick**s songs, Rain Song is my favorite by far. Page's guitar play has a feel that can't be described in words. I stumbled upon the tuning for this song on a TH-cam channel whiled stationed overseas away from my family and dedicated a great deal of time learning it (I am nowhere near as talented as Nick on guitar). It was so rewarding to learn this gem.
Post Script: If you aren't familiar, check out the Page/Plant Unplugged version. Jimmy's pick work at the end is worth the watch.
This song brings back memories of being young and good times and bad. 😊
One of my all time favorites
