The Rain Song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever produced.
Still, amazing to watch people listening to what I grew up on, & watching their faces, I'm 65. I love it! Too cool
Jamel- you have GOT to see the unplugged VIDEO of Robert and Jimmy doing this song. It will make you CRY. Also, “ THANK YOU” -our wedding song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, it's important to give mad kudos to John Paul Jones. His understated, yet spot on bass is the structure of each song. and keyboards. and sound engineering. without him, no Led Zepplin.
John Paul Jones is definitely the unsung hero of Led Zeppelin his arrangements his studio magic everything. Him and Page were some of the most sought after session musicians in Europe long before Led Zeppelin, they were well seasoned musicians by this time.
I just played through a transcription of his work on the album recording of I Can't Quit You, Babe.
Masterclass, he pulls out just about every lick and trick in the book and makes it sound effortless. He is one of my idols in many ways.
Totally respect the way you understood there was NO place to pause the song without destroying the flow... well done young man.
Totally agree! There is NO place in this song you can pause without taking away from it! I would have cringed! Love this young man's channel!!
This is my "fix me" song from Led Zep. ANYTIME I need a little help, a pick me up or a good cry, I put on The Rain Song. It touches my soul. Beautiful!
When this song would come on the radio in the car, we’d all get really quiet and soak in the beauty. I miss the days of my youth. Thanks for helping me re-live it a bit and thanks for introducing these songs to new generations.
Miss this. I appreciate hearing any song you want whenever, but hearing a song and staying in your car was a thing.
Me and my friends un Highschool (2010-2014) would always sit down and appreciate these songs, this one was a group favorite and we loved playing along on our guitars
I can remember days like that in the car with friends. Not just this song, but ANY Zeppelin song. "Shut up! They're playing Zeppelin!". Lol.
Have a seat in section 110, Row H, Seat 8 at the Legendary Destroyer show. Night one. Robert looked @20,000 stunned faces that night.
"I don't even know what kind of music this is. It defies classification. There's such tasteful, beautiful detail in the guitar, and a triumphant feel when the drums come in - it's sad and moody and strong, all at the same time. I could listen to this song all day. That would be a good day." - Rick Rubin
No band does it hard, soft, and everywhere in between better than Zeppelin
I’m 17 and I listen to zeppelin daily, I’m addicted
I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin for over 50 years the more I listen to them the more better they sound, I’m surprised when people actually have a favourite song they’re not really Zep fans they’re just bandwagon fans!
Epic, beautiful, everlasting sound. Pure symphony at it's best. Music and vocals are inceedible. I'm almost 67 and listening to Zep sound for 54 years now. I can't live without their fantastic sound. Their songs are here to stay forever!! ❤
Listen to “Ten Years Gone” by Zeppelin. It’s another masterpiece.
Yep! 10 years gone shows that it wasn’t the pixies who invented “quiet, loud, quiet”
True story: hated Zep. Had a roomie in college who was obsessed with them. Coming off an acid trip one night, he played "Ten Years Gone" for me and it was life changing. I will always associate that song with a girl I was deeply in love with around that time. And it turned me into one of the biggest Zep fans ever. They went from being a least favorite to in my top 3 ever. You can truly get lost in so many of their ballads. "The Rain Song" is no exception.
I'm 70 years old and love this song - it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it!
Absolutely i am 62 this brings me such joy. This channel does with such a diverse selection of songs and artists
I haven’t heard anyone mention Tangerine. There’s something about that song that reaches into my spirit and twists me upside down and all around and then shakes me out and throws me back in my chair and all I can do is say thank you can I have some more please!!!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeese!!!!!!! Does anyone else like that song? I think it’s mystifyingly amazing beyond all human understanding because it isn’t understandable on a human mental level. It is totally cosmic. Luv it.
@@sherrismith1520 Tangerine is a fantastic song. I had to get some years behind me to really appreciate, but it was worth it.
Led Zeppelin! You hear loud thundering drums, roaring guitar riffs, vocals screaming out to the masses.... then, The Rain Song comes on. You sit down, close your eyes and start contemplating what's going on with your life. How can one band create so many, so many, pieces of art and enjoyment? That's why people love Led Zeppelin. ❤
This is my absolute favorite Zep song. While Kashmir and Stairway get the press ... to me this is the band at its perfect essence. Light and Shade, Hard and Soft ... just magnificent
“Hey hey what can I do””That’s the way””Tangerine””Ten Years Gone””Going to California””The Rain Song””Ramble on” just lay back, close your eyes, and enjoy the ride👀
How you gonna put the rain song as a suggestion on the rain song video?
Heard this song a thousand times. Still get goosebumps every time it goes heavy
@@camdenharper7244 Sugestión as a set. Thought that was obvious.
The angels play this song in Heaven's waiting room.
Jamal is a guy that can appreciate all kinds of music
Led Zeppelin songs are like your children; it's hard to love one of them more than the others. So many to love!
The genius of Zeppelin is that their repertoire is so diverse. Everything from country to blues to metal. This is an example of a symphonic ballad, which in itself has elements of symphony, blues, a little jazz and rock, and boy... did they knock it out of the park! It's just beautiful!!!
To this very day, after 25 years after I intro'd her to Zep, she STILL has those moments where she asks me, "They really can play EVRYTHING, can't they?" I smile & nod, like always. Then she gets that far-away look in her eyes, and whispers -- almost to imperceptibly to herself -- "Amazing..."
@@jamescase6465, at that time, songs like The Wanton Song and Heartbreaker were considered "metal" We'd just call them hard rock now.
“Ten years gone” if you like this you will love that.
and tea for one, for my is the continuation of since i'be been loving you
One of the most beautiful songs, everything about it. Nobody ever touched Led Zeppelin.
One of the most beautiful songs, ever!
"Going to California" " No Quarter" "Battle of Evermore" "Bron-y-aur".....hell you pick it we'll rock to it.
The acoustic version of "Going to California", live at Earl's Court, 1975 is as good as it gets.
Down by the Seaside
In the Light
Thank you
Nobody's Fault but Mine
Tangerine
..... to name a few to look into
😁
"A little rain must fall..." I had a lot of rain in my life from age 15 to 23. This was the song that got me through. This song gave me the hope that someday the sun would shine in my life again, and it did.
This is one of my absolute favorite Zeppelin songs!
The way your jaw dropped when the song gets even more beautiful, right after you said how beautiful it is...love it. This is definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever made by any rock band. Keep this stuff coming please ✌
Masterpiece. They don't write them like that anymore.
There are always people writing it "like that" if you look hard enough.
@@stuartfishman1044 I’ve been looking for 53 years… very, very few come close to ZEPPELIN!
This was Robert Plants song in the movie 'The Song remains The Same'.
Jimmy Page's song was Dazed and Confused.
John Paul Jones was No Quarter.
John Bonham was Moby Dick.
We were spoiled back in the day by having such awesome music available to us. I, for one, took it for granted. Now, after the mostly garbage of the last forty years, I have a whole new appreciation for the old stuff. I’m glad that you’re bringing it to the younger generations. Keep up the great work!
Music and musical genius come in many guises. If you haven't found much good musically in the last forty years, you need to expand your horizon. All these classics remain with us forever, but there has been plenty of great music created every year. JMO. PS, yes there has been crap.
1st listened to this 40yrs ago @ 15 on album. I was hooked then and now. High art. Glad he is enjoying and sharing. JPJ just brings it home. Blessed.
When Jimmy strums those chords it's like a massage for the soul . So beautiful this song. Robert Plant's singing ... so much feeling .
I truly believe that the music of the Led Zeppelin will continue to be played and listened to throughout the centuries, just like Beethovan, Mozart and the rest of the great artists in the history of classical music. Sadly, most of the artists and the music will be lost and forgotten 50+ years from now, but I'm beginning to believe that Led Zeppelin music will never die. I was 16 years old when I first saw them(saw them 6 times)and all I can say is that they are even more awesome to hear them live. I remember...every time they played at the Tampa Stadium. What an experience! As always, love the channel, love to you and yours!! Please keep playing this beautiful music 🎶🎵
I was a teenager when this came out. It was our go to song when we wanted to mellow out with some fine green. What range they had as musicians and song writers From "The Rain Song" to "Rock and Roll" to "No Quarter" to "Kashmir" to "The Immigrant Song" to "When The Levee Breaks". I mean seriously, these guys were simply amazing and I feel so fortunate to have grown up listening to them. It set the bar very high for the music I would listen to forever more. 🖖🏼 Live long, and prosper Jamel.
The cycle of love through the cycle of life in the metaphor of the cycle of the seasons...pure poetry.
I've been a Led Zeppelin fanatic right out of college(late 80's) and my appreciation for them only gets stronger through the years. There are other bands I love almost as much , Rush being one, but there has never been a band that had more talent than Led Zeppelin and over time, that only becomes more clear. Their music is timeless, ALL of it.
Led zeppelin are without doubt my personal favourite band. Their musicianship,personality,performance and incredible range of music that they have in their work that I think is still so fresh and relevant 40 to 50 years after they made this groundbreaking music just shows how far ahead they were as a band. When John Bonham passed away,Jimmy Page,John Paul Jones,Robert Plant and Peter Grant their manager had the respect to not get another drummer and carry on making a fortune and I think that shows how much they respected and loved each other!
Then I was 17 years old my then-boyfriend and I got tickets to Led Zeppelin. They were nosebleeds seats. Oh, probably the worst seats I've ever had for a show. As we are sitting there I notice The people beside us and in front of us being asked how many people were in their group. So I pipe up And say, "we have two, why are you giving away front row seats?" To my astonishment They were. We saw that show front and center
Yeah the roadies would find attractive woman in audience to give them front row seats apparently the band likes it that way I seen them in woodlands Texas and the same thing happened with one of the ladies in our group!
@@johntremmel3949 I live in Oak Ridge.. right across the freeway.. I love the Pavilion as a venue.. hopefully we can get back there soon!
The thing about Led Zeppelin songs. All masterpieces
Zeppelin isn't simply a "rock" band. They incorporate blues, folk, and all sorts of genres in their tunes. They still jam even with acoustic and a strings arrangement. Incredible band. Please, PLEASE listen to the studio version of "In the Light". One of Robert Plants favorite Zeppelin tunes. The emotion felt in that song is second to none!
One of the greatest love songs of all time!
Zepplin's Thank you song is another great love song of theirs, doncha think?
Page and Plant went DEEP into the well to bring up this water: all the tears shed during those painful lonely nights.
When you hear a song like that, I can only imagine myself lying on a very green grass, looking at the blue sky next to the one you love.
In Golden Gate Park in 1976 with my bf who went to USF, just 2 blocks away.
Man I almost forgot I was watching a reaction. Lol I got lost in the instrumental. Beautiful!
By now you are starting to understand why Led Zep. Is the greatest band/group ever.
They have a song called..THANK YOU..a must for your lady..thank you
I love your respect for great music brother! This song encapsulates every emotion for me. And I could tell it got to you to...I guess it’s universal! They are by far my favorite band of all time. Thank you for being such a honest and humble man to share these songs and your emotions with so many people that would otherwise never hear them. You are doing a great service to mankind! Thank You!
The video which goes with this is also beautiful. All us ladies wanted to be the princess in the castle and have Robert rock up on his horse to rescue us! 💙💙💙
Recorded in 1973-- released in 1973 on
"The song remains the same" album.
House of the Holy is the album and this and the Song Remains the Same are on it
Once i learned the tuning to this, i drove my bandmates insane with it. I dunno what it is that makes it so great, but its like magic. Just feel good when i hear it.
@@spottheturtle9568 have fun. I got Achilles last stand on the brain now... Bonhams explosions are epic in it.
Thank you for playing my favorite song of ALL time! The orchestra, the acoustical guitar, the piano and ofcourse Robert's beautiful voice ❤
This is the only song that makes me feel an emotional response every single time I listen to it. There's no other song more beautiful ❤️
From 1973.
Used to listen to this in high school.
Thank you for taking me on this ride from long ago..I was about 7 when my brother started listening to Zep..even as a young girl I'd get lost in the beauty of the music!
Whole Lotta love was almost an acid trip..the music flowing between the speakers..and the Big Log is still a relaxing favorite...so so many choices that you'd need a month straight to get through the catalog..thanks friend..you've truly found ♾ infinity
This is absolutely my favorite song from Led Zeppelin
"This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient - Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall." My first live concert Madison Square Garden NYC.
I saw them in 77 at the garden, best show ever. I believe I started to fall in love with the rain because of this song!
I never got to see them. But I did see Robert Plant, Now and Zen tour at Red Rock's in Denver. Jimmy Paige showed up and they did a number of Zeppelin songs!! Anyone who has been to Red Rock's knows how lucky I got!!
Over the Hills and Far Away is another amazing song off the Houses of the Holy album. That's a must if you haven't heard it yet.
Led Zeppelin has so many great songs . growing up in the 70s they where and still are one of favorite bands. Jamel would you react to "Montrose" Rock the Nation ? Or any song off on " Montrose"
I could go for some Montrose. I lent my CD of Montrose to a friend and he never gave it back.
"Upon us all a little rain must fall!"
So good. Achilles Last Stand is another great one.
@@cjm-jr9xk Right on. Great song! Bob Dylan covered it in 1962 ,it's been around since the early 1900s
The children on the cover are posed on Giant's Causeway in Ireland, a mind blowing natural geometric stone formation-- the column rise out of the sea in Ireland and in Scotland. One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
@garloorotox I didn't know that, thanks. I heard that the children are Robert Plants kids.
@@kathybwell Yes, those are his son and daughter. His son passed away on July.26, 1977 from a stomach virus. The song "All My Love" is written as a tribute to his son, Karac
@@dodgeboy90501 wow, I didn't know his son died. Such a tragedy, poor Robert.
That song shows how beautiful they could write & perform. I love how "out of time" the singing is as well as the guitar at times, just laid back, not worrying about fitting into the beat in a strict sense. Just gorgeous...
We used to play through a good portion of this as a soundcheck/ "maybe someday, perform" song back in early 90's.
Probably have listened to this on repeat more than any song...ever.
Ten Years Gone is another beautiful song by Led Zep about Robert Plant choosing music over his girl. It’s excellent.
I always had a saying about Led Zepellin, there's nothing softer than Led, and there's nothing heavier than Led. Try doing the song Thank You. Fantastic song Robert wrote about his then wife Maureen. It is so beautiful.
If this was the only song Led Zeppelin wrote and recorded they would still be one of the best bands of all time.
What is the hardest thing to do in music? Pick the best Led Zeppelin song.
There best ballad is beautiful only sad thing about this song is when it ends!
Page's and Plant's finest work IMO ✌️♥️
I don't know how you do such a good job at comprehending lyrics to songs on the first listen.
This song goes perfect with a drink in your hand on the porch watching a light rain fall at dawn as long as you don't start getting depressed.
This is, by far, my all time favorite song by Zepp. My first album was Led Zeppelin II. Changed my life. Poetic rock genius that has stood the test of time because the music is just that great! From a time where music was a story and a song took you on a journey into a different place beyond the present. Amazing! It was truly about the craft and not about just topping charts. I thank you for continuing to react to one of THE BEST bands of all time. So glad you are enjoying the ride J!
This is my favorite song of Led Zeppelin! It just relaxes the mind! Pure perfection! Thanks for the reaction ❤!
10 years gone and Thank You are on this level
Robert Plant ~ "Big Log", "Sea Of Love", "In The Mood" and "Heaven Knows" are really good
"Sea Of Love" will Amaze you..!
Jamel I love Zep, but Big Log is my favorite Non Zep , Led Zeppelin song. Many youngsters dig Big Log because of GTA 5. Dude seriously do Big Log while driving in the Mojave at sunset. It would be epic!
@@mohamedbazeddi9528 Don't know how ''Ship Of Fools" slipped my mind....?
Kinda embarrassing....
(The song ends.... Jamel's response...)
"................Wow.............."
My friend, you just spoke volumes.
Peace to all.
🎼Thank You Deeply for reacting to this song, Jamel...For me, this is my Favorite song from my Favorite Band...Now granted, I'm a sucker for a good ballad...but THIS is a GREAT ballad...It has everything...And I can't tell you the emotion it brings out...So Beautiful, so therapeutic, and that Orchestra...ooh...oh man, This is a song of release...Let it go...All the pains, and disappointments one has in their life...and the warm tears just stream down my face...do not hide...but embrace❤️🎶
I'm 67, I remember hit music from before The Beatles, and I love your channel! Keep the old stuff alive, my friend!
One of Zeppelin's most underrated songs! One of my favorites.
I actually ran to the record store and bought this as soon as it came out , went home played twice, and ran to meet my friends and tell them about it, I forgot that I was supposed to be playing a football game with them and my best friend broke his leg before I got there. Played the 2nd half while humming the Ocean !
Great pick👍♥️I forgot all about this song. Brings back memories of my mom, she loved Led Zeppelin
My favorite Zeppelin song. I'm so glad you did this. This song is love, it's magic. It's the reason you close your eyes and feel the sun on your face.
If you can react to more Led Zeppelin, then suggest “In the Light, “No Quarter,” and All My Love.” Also, Jamel, would you react to Budgie? They’re like the Welsh/U.K. Rush. Less well known but just as influential.
Budgie songs:
- Guts (rules hard)
- Parents (LOVE this really special track)
- Breadfan (Metallica covered this)
- In the Grip of the Tyre Fitter’s Hand
Budgie, like fellow trio Rush, has a really diverse and brilliant array of complex arrangements and moods. Also, great song titles like “Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman” lol.
This shit Still blows my fucking mind. Led Zeppelin, Amen.
Can you imagine conceiving, writing, arranging, recording this epic & then publishing this to the world to share in its other world wondrousness . Mind blown….
thanks, man. i finally figured out why i love to watch young black people discover Zeppelin. it's your heritage. black soul and blues interpreted by musically gifted white boys. God bless.
YAAAAAAS! BRO! Listened to this about a million times in High School. Yes, I'm old. :P
Jamel, “What is and what should never be” by Led Zeppelin, album cut!Maximum separation, bring your earphones!
71 now. Listen to them from the get-go. They were amazing and their music doesn’t diminish with time. Love Zeppelin!
This song is a gorgeous love song. It's my favorite zeppelin song,along with Kashmir and Dazed and Confused. Great reaction video! Rock on!🤘❤😁
The live version from "The Song Remains the Same" is even better.
Hey- just wanted to say thanks for not stopping this song once. It’s one you just have to absorb and cutting it off would have taken us right out of it. You rock!
No payment needed to watch. Thanks for doing Led Zeppelin makes me want to just go through their albums again! ✌️

Sorry that I missed the reaction to In My Time Of Dying, I'll have to check it out. That being said, how about a reaction to Misty Mountain Hop ?
