Lyric discussion by binghiskhan 

It seems that everyone is missing the point of the website--"song meanings". I think there are probabaly other sites out there named "who thinks they are smart", and "who is the greatest Led Zeppelin fan" or even "I am bette than you.com" or something like that.

Anyways, the Rain Song is not a tenuous reference to a bible quote, nor is it some cheap attempt at a ballad. Sure, Harrison may have helped influence the song, but ultimately, it is a love song.

The song deals with a relationahip that has gone sour, but will be rekindled once again. The winter is the time that things aren't going that smoothly, the spring time is the relationship beginning again. Sunlight, rain is all love. you need sunlight and water to grow a plant, which in this case, is the love or relationship.

Ultimately, this song proabably deals with Robert Plants usually tumultuous relationship with wife, but really, it applies to everyone.

Great song.

ps> Music is not black and white, and there is no way to quantify one song versus another. The comparisons and judgements based upon Stairway is ridiculous.
