One of their more emotive songs, which appears on House of the Holy, was actually inspired by a member of The Beatles.
“George was talking to [John Bonham] one evening and said, ‘The problem with you guys is that you never do ballads,’” Page once said. Page took Harrison's comment as a challenge and crafted the almost seven-minute acoustic ballad, "The Rain Song."
“I’m paraphrasing, but it was something similar to that. He probably said it lightheartedly. He probably hadn’t really listened to very much Led Zeppelin,” he said.
“I thought it would be interesting to put the first two notes from "Something" into the beginning of "The Rain Song" … [As a whole,] "The Rain Song" was really nothing like "Something", so nobody was even going to think of it,” he explained to Guitar World.
The second track on their fifth album was generally well received by critics and fans. In 2003, Rolling Stone said: Page and Plant could have taken umbrage" at the comment, but instead "rose to the challenge."
Kristofer Lenz of Consequence of Sound described in 2014 "The Rain Song" as "one of the most sentimental tracks in Led Zeppelin's catalogue" and called it "patient and beautifully arranged."
