Led Zeppelin: The Rain Song

The Rain Song is a love ballad of some length. The song is a play on the melody discovered by Jimmy Page, who was at the time, screwing around with his new studio console recently installed at his home in Plumpton, England. Recognizably, Page tributed the Beatles "Something" with the opening chords; Page completed the melody and upon presentation to Robert Plant, Plant composed lyrics for it; Plant often considers "The Rain Song" to be his best work ever completed. The song features a mellotron specifically for this song to add an orchestral effect, while Page plays a Danelectro guitar for a unique and irreplicable sound.
