Review about The rain song
A marterpiece | Reviewer: Jose Mejia | 6/14/09
I felt in love with this piece since I heard it for the first time,
and I was just a kid about 12 to 13 years old.
thank my dear uncle Johnny (who passed away long time ago)
for introducing me into Led Zeppelin's music.
I believe it constitutes an indissoluble bond with him after
all this years and it really made a mark in my life.
Because of its beauty, The Rain Song seemed to me like a
very complicated musical piece which required really
talented people to perform. I could not even imagine how to
approach to this song for long time, while playing the guitar.
Later on I found that, in fact, from the performing point of
view, this is a very easy to play tune and,
guess what... I started to appreciate it even more because
I recognized in it the hand of a genius. Only geniuses are
capable of producing such a beautiful creation with such simplicity.
I really love music and it has been an important part of my
life, and after hearing all kind of music from all genders,
I dare to say, without hesitation that The Rain Song is the
most beautiful song I have ever heard.
