The Rain Song.
Escrita por Jimmy Page e Robert Plant.
Do álbum Houses Of The Holy, de 1973, da maravilha da natureza banda Led Zeppelin, The Rain Song é uma das músicas mais bonitas da história da música (minha opinião).
Na guitarra, o monstro sagrado Jimmy Page, numa afinação exótica. Robert Plant nos vocais. John Bonham na bateria. E Deus John Paul Jones arranjando tudo no mellotron (um teclado metido a besta).
A inspiração da música veio de uma tentativa de sacaneada um comentário do George Harrison (sim, aquele dos Beatles, tomate) ao Bonham, no qual ele dizia que o Led Zeppelin nunca compunha baladas.
(cá entre nós... Chupa Toma essa, Harrison!)
Realmente, uma das músicas mais bonitas de todos os tempos. Um poema, praticamente:
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 you 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.

It's just a little rain...
E o álbum, Houses Of The Holy, é animal. Vale a pena.
Aliás, Led Zeppelin vale a pena. Fica a dica.
Cheers!
