  Seven Songs for the Week #149 - 11th Feb 26

  Jason Carty

  There has been a lot of rain in my part of the world in recent weeks, so it might have been a cosmic joke that Apple Music played this for me in the car in the middle of a damp, slow, traffic jam. I mean, the song does not sound like the feeling of rain at all. The Beatles' Rain does sound harsh and difficult, like rain. Anyways...you may or may not know the Beatles connection to this song. George Harrison apparently told John Bonham that as good a Zep were, they couldn't do ballads. Bonham relayed this to Jimmy Page who went off and wrote The Rain Song in response. That's why the first two chords of The Rain Song are the same as Something, you can sing "Something in the way she moves..." over them.
