The power of music is totally under estimated by many. A truly great song can make you feel a vast variety of emotions. A great song will give you goosebumps, make you cry, make you made and even make you laugh your ass off. While I’ve heard “The Rain Song” at least a million times, I never quite heard it like I did today with my headphones. I felt like I was flying. Whisked away to a green desolate plain somewhere in England feeling the rain over me. A truly great song that for a moment took me away from everything only to return to reality as the song drew to a close. Again, a testament to truly great songwriting.
=============================
“The Rain Song”
Led Zeppelin
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 – I’ve felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us…
But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds 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 – Upon us all a little rain must fall.
Easily one of the most incredibly beautiful songs ever writen. Thanks Led Zep!
