ian anderson-one of the great flute players

Had a cup of coffe with these guys when i was 17

me and two of my friends went to see them at the travel lodge theater in phoenix. After the show we snuck into the center courtyard of the motel and waited for them to come out of the theater. In those days we thought all rock and rollers were drugged out crazy guys( the way ian anderson ran around on stage it was easy to believe) When they walked into the court yard we said hello and to our surprise they were really cool guys they invited us back to their room for a cup of coffee before they got on the bus for their show in tucson the next night. The one thing that sticks with me to this day is how nice these guys were to us( and the fact that they weren't fucked up druggies), i mean we were three dumb high school kids and they treated us like we were friends, they asked us about the weather in phoenix,our families and what we were going to do with our lives.....i never think about those times anymore,but this old music has sent me back.....for awhile

Thats what music is for.....to take you somewhere....if only down memory lane to a more laid back time when you were young and care free.

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 seek 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...

"The Rain Song" is a love ballad of over 7 minutes in length. Guitarist Jimmy Page originally constructed the melody of this song at his home in Plumpton, England, where he had recently installed a studio console. A new Vista model, it was partly made up from the Pye Mobile Studio which had been used to record the group's 1970 Royal Albert Hall performance and The Who's Live at Leeds album.

Page was able to bring in a completed arrangement of the melody, for which singer Robert Plant composed some lyrics. These lyrics are considered by Plant himself to be his best overall vocal performance.
The song also features a mellotron played by John Paul Jones to add to the orchestral effect, whilst Page played a Danelectro guitar.
John Paul Jones played the low end string part on a real cello, partly bowed and partly plucked. He had earlier played cello and did string arrangements for the Yardbirds with Jimmy Page on the album Little Games when he was a session musician.

George Harrison was reportedly the inspiration for "The Rain Song" when he made a comment to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, about the fact that the group never wrote any ballads.
In tribute to Harrison, the opening two notes are recognizably borrowed from his ballad "Something.

For the studio version of Rain song Jimmy Page used this tuning DGCGCD....so if your trying to learn to play this song on your guitar in standard tuning and having trouble...that is probably why.
