The Seasons

Video Overview & Insights

My original idea for the opening tracks for ‘Houses of the Holy’ was that a short overture would be a rousing instrumental introduction with layered electric guitars that would segue in to ’The Seasons’, later to be titled ‘The Rain Song’. Again there would be a contrasting acoustic guitar instrumental movement with melotron that could lead to the first vocal of the album and the first verse of the song.

This will forever be one of the songs of my life. The seasons we all go through are exemplified in this beautiful melody. Thank you again, Jimmy!

‘The Seasons’ was a memo to myself as a reminder of the sequence of the song and various ideas I’d had for it in its embryonic stage. I’d worked on it over one evening at home. During the routining of the overture now titled ‘The Plumpton and Worcester Races’, the half time section was born and the overture shaped in to the song, ‘The Song Remains The Same’. These rehearsals were done in Puddle Town on the River Piddle in Dorset, UK.

The first set of recordings were done at Olympic Studios with George Chkiantz.

...thank you

We then came to record at Stargroves, Sir Mick Jagger’s country home, and, like Headley Grange, with the Rolling Stones recording truck.

‘The Song Remains The Same’ was played on a Fender 12 string, the same one used on Becks Bolero, with my trusty Les Paul number 1 on overdubs in a standard turning. The ‘Rain Song’ was an unorthodox tuning on acoustic and electric guitars. On live shows, it became a work-out feature for the double neck.

I've been listening to Led Zeppelin since I was 5 because my dad used to play them all the time. Now I'm 25, and I love them more and more every day. It's some of the most beautiful music ever written ❤ absolutely wonderful

Some music simply elevates my conscious awareness, like this song. It is an experience to be felt, no arguments required.

That time when the universe broke and then became healed with this song. The scar is just a memory. 🙏

You can have shreaders who play hundreds of notes in a second and are technically better than jimmy .
BUT . So many notes that mean or say absolutely nothing, vacuous.
Jimmy plays 6 notes and it means the world it’s wonderful, magical.
It’s not the notes it’s the space in between
The GOAT , no question

Tickled my heart strings- at 79 years. The seasons do change. Rich colors of the fall set in just be for the icy snow of winter....and the frozen ground.

I love that you can hear Page speed up when he gets to the part of the song when it opens up. He doesn't have a rhythm section to keep him in check, so his excitement is on full display. Uncontained. Makes for an enjoyable journey.

Das ist Kunst...Das ist schon klassische Musik...Das ist sympathische Musik.

Issac Newton documented the laws of motion, gravity, and orbital mechanics; Jimmy Page created ‘The Rain Song’ 👏🏻

Still stunning in its beauty, even without the plaintive vocals of Percy. Note also the subtle advancement up Giant's Causeway, as the music pulls you towards the crags. Ancient Magic still at play... 🌄🕊😉🐇✨️
