Repeat the last 4 measures 3 more times, however on the

«The Rain Song» è una ballata romantica della durata di 7 minuti e 32 secondi, inclusa nel quinto album della band britannica Led Zeppelin, intitolato Houses of the Holy, pubblicato nel 1973. Il chitarrista Jimmy Page creò la melodia iniziale di questo brano nella sua residenza a Plumpton, in Inghilterra, dove aveva recentemente installato un mixer da studio. Questo nuovo apparecchio, un modello Vista, includeva componenti del Pye Mobile Studio, che era stato utilizzato per registrare sia l'esibizione dei Led Zeppelin alla Royal Albert Hall nel 1970 sia l'album "Live at Leeds" degli The Who. Inizialmante nota come "Slush" a causa della sua presentazione melodica simile a quella di un'orchestra, Page sviluppò una struttura completa per la canzone, alla quale il cantante Robert Plant aggiunse il testo. Plant considera la sua interpretazione vocale in questa traccia una delle sue migliori. La canzone presenta anche un Mellotron suonato da John Paul Jones, che contribuisce all'effetto orchestrale, mentre Page utilizza una chitarra Danelectro. L'ispirazione per "The Rain Song" venne da George Harrison, il quale fece notare al batterista dei Led Zeppelin, John Bonham, che la band non aveva mai composto una ballata. Secondo il libro "Light and Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page" di Brad Tolinski, Page racconta che Harrison disse a Bonham: "Il problema con voi è che non fate mai ballate". Page rispose: "Gli darò una ballata" e così nacque "The Rain Song", che appare in Houses of the Holy. Page menziona persino che i primi due accordi della canzone citano "Something" di Harrison. Tuttavia, esiste una certa controversia riguardo alle parole esatte che furono scambiate. Durante le esibizioni dal vivo dei Led Zeppelin tra il 1972 e il 1975, la band eseguiva questo brano subito dopo "The Song Remains the Same", seguendo l'ordine dell'album. Ciò era dovuto al fatto che Page utilizzava una chitarra Gibson EDS-1275 a doppio manico per entrambe le canzoni: il manico a 12 corde per "The Song Remains the Same" e poi passando a quello a 6 corde per "The Rain Song". Nelle esibizioni dal vivo, la canzone veniva spesso suonata in La maggiore, un semitono più in alto rispetto alla versione in studio. Nel tour europeo del 1980, "The Rain Song" fu l'unico brano di Houses of the Holy a essere eseguito. In questa occasione, Page tornò a utilizzare la chitarra a doppio manico, essendo l'unica volta in cui utilizzò esclusivamente il manico a 6 corde senza suonare prima quello a 12 corde. In tutte le versioni dal vivo, i suoni degli archi orchestrali furono ricreati da Jones, sia con il Mellotron (1972–1975) sia con un sintetizzatore Yamaha (1979–1980), poiché i Led Zeppelin non impiegarono mai una sezione d'archi nei loro concerti. La recensione contemporanea di Gordon Fletcher per Rolling Stone fu negativa, descrivendo "The Rain Song" e "No Quarter" come semplici veicoli per mostrare l'uso del Mellotron e del sintetizzatore da parte di Jones. Al contrario, una revisione retrospettiva di Kristofer Lenz per Consequence of Sound fu più favorevole, definendo la canzone come una delle più sentimentali del repertorio dei Led Zeppelin, sottolineandone l'organizzazione paziente e bella. Lenz ha anche evidenziato che i testi e la voce di Plant apportano un senso di umanità, perdita e trascendenza, riflettendo una maturità emotiva.
