QUADROPHENIA- Love, Reign O'er Me (W/ Lyrics!) Pt. 10 

im 17 and this is one of the best songs ive ever heard, i love how the who can stretch across generations and still be loved

One of Daltrey’s best performances. Absolutely mind blowing.

I love how the whole double album leads up to this song, lyrically, musically, thematically.... Quadrophenia is the greatest concept album ever written.

I'm an old man now but listening to this makes me feel young again. Rock Never Dies!!!

The greatest ending to the greatest album ever.

This is without a doubt Townshend's greatest composition. Roger Daltry just nails it. What a great and outstanding vocal. And Keith Moon's drums just adds to the emotion. Beautiful.

One of the most wonderful songs by the best rock'n'roll band of all time. Simple as that.

I just turned fifty, but I have been a WHO fan since I could barely walk. Particularly Keith Moon, as it was he and John Bonham who inspired me to become the drummer that I am. Can anyone actually fathom what faculties and imagination are involved with writing something on the scale of Quadrophenia? And then playing it? Then touring with it? It is beyond almost everyone I can think of. There are a few like Pink Floyd with their brilliant, concept oriented offerings and maybe Zeppelin just because they ARE ZEPPELIN. Maybe the Beatles. I listen to these albums from these people and I am still awed after all these years. Makes me wonder if albums like Quadrophenia, Dark Side Of the Moon and Zep II and IV and Sgt. Pepper's will triumph throughout the decades and centuries along with the Classical Giants, assuming humanity survives.

1982 Rich Stadium Buffalo, the clouds come in and it starts to gently rain. The Who launch into Love Reign O'er Me, and tears come to my ears. Best rock-n-roll moment EVER!

One the best song written by Pete Townsend. With Roger Daltery’s vocals are amazing. Just a great legendary performance.

Brilliant album but this track is pure genius and Rogers vocals are just amazing!

Definitely the best Who song!! Ever.

I listened to this album when I was 16 and fell in love with every song 👍 I’m now 45 and still love it x 👍

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!

One of the best Who songs ever ! Full of desire and need urgency Passion

I remember singing this on the street with a friend during a storm. Brings many memories back. Opens the floodgates.

My lover, Donald gave me this album in the 70's. I will always lovingly remember him and our time together💜

Only love can make it rain The way the beach is kissed by the sea Only love can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields Love reign o'er me Love reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Only love can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky Only love can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spend apart alone I need to get back home to cool, cool rain I can't sleep and I lay and I think The night is hot and black as ink Ooh God, I need a drink of of cool, cool rain Love, reign o'er me Rain o'er me, over me, o'er me, oh Love reign o'er me O'er me Love

Absolutely one of the greatest, most beautifully powerful songs ever written and performed. What else can I say?

Bout a year ago i was on the street waiting for a bus when I got a text saying my Mom had died. I just started playing this song over and over. It killed the pain. Played in my head for months

No one can perform these vocals but Daltry... One of the best front man/ vocalist ever...

Probably Roger Daltry's finest vocal ever.Just an amazing range .Hits those highs with such power and amazing ease. Love this very much .Ty for sharing xxoXXO Allison

Still get thrills all these years later. Best song on the best album by the best band ever. That is all.

Frying in the summer of 76 London. Graham and I singing to the top of our voices. Going house to house, waiting for Ice cubes...... Graham 59 - 81 still tears.

this song still sends shivers up my spine roger and keith mood at there best

Easily one of the best closing tracks of all time. It just perfectly sums up all of the emotions of the album and provides the perfect amount of closure.

I installed Rogers alarm system when he lived in Hurst Berks. Listened to Joe Cocker on his Hi-Fi downstairs whilst he was upstairs. Never met him only his lady. Great times.

my brother gave me this album for my 18th birthday, forty years gone thank you dave, and thank you who for the great music

I first got this album then an 8 track tape, I played the tape so much that first summer I had to buy another. The absolute best the Who has ever done.

This song sums it up. It sums up the human condition. It speaks for all the poets and preachers. It reaches down into the aching heart of a man and holds it up high to God and begs for the rain of mercy to wash away the pain of man's corruption and brokenness. At the end there is only one hope. The Reign of a God who loves., Who reaches out and draws us up to Himself, giving us the life giving water of his cool cool rain.

My high school lover, who I met at 16 years old...he was 17.....went on to make love to this song so many times.... it's now 50 years later, and last night....well. I still love that man like crazy. Here's to Looooove! Reign O'er Me! Here's to passion, keep loving brothers and sisters.🐦🌷

BRILLIANT! Absolutely brilliant! Sure puts the crap pumped out these days in perspective--doesn't it?

Quadrophenia was released a few weeks after I first met the woman who would become my wife. The album, and especially this magnificent song, was an important element of our soundtrack during those early, wildly passionate weeks of our lifelong love affair. When she passed away earlier this year we'd been married 47 years. Thanks for helping make the memories, Pete.

Quadrophenia is not only my favorite Who album, but it is probably my favorite album to listen to of all time. I will admit I did not like it when I first heard it, but grows on you quickly and you can feel the emotions of the songs as the groups interprets the mod lifestyle of Jimmy Cooper. The Rock happens to be my favorite track on it, but Love Reign O'er Me is a heck of a song to end this album. Long live the Who! RIP Moonie and The Ox

This song makes me cry.

That explosive final chord ends one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

I think this album is so underated...

It's 12:30 a.m. where I'm at, pouring, all the lights are out, listening to this song...I have found inner tranquility.

I put this album in my top 5 of all time!This is what rock and roll is all about.

Bought the album, It had so much more meaning after seeing the Movie with my Friends, A total Rollercoaster of feelings and Emotions, from the Sea!!!1 *)

so nostalgic i can hardly stand it. the love. the memories. the brilliant times. gone.

Forget the new version... Thats the real and incredible stuff *****!!!!!

Quadrophenia the film is a classic. I like Ace The Face as "Bellboy"! (played by Sting) and Jimmy's reaction when he realizes what Ace The Face does for a living...

❤ One of the All Time Best Who Songs❤

I swear this is a true story. I saw The Who in Tampa Stadium years back. They used this song to totally change the vibe of the show. When the backing track of a rain storm began (honestly this is the truth) there was a slight sputtering of rain that lasted through the first verse then it stopped and never rained again through out the show. At first I thought someone had a squirt gun and was shooting water but I looked around and everyone around us was sensing the same thing. Awesome!

If you never saw the who- they were the ultimate band- Let it rain..Love can make the rain..

After a spell of checking out much of my The Who cds, I believe that this tune is one of the best vocal deliveries from Roger Daltrey & Quadrophenia, my favourite Who "Rock Opera" !

I saw the movie and this song really sold that movie.

One of my all time fav albums of all time!

No band no artist can touch this song - it's perfect and it is brilliant.

A perfect end to a perfect album!!!

Haha. I'm sorry it took so long, and sorry to the rest of my viewers who like the Quadrophenia series. But it's up, so enjoy it! Haha.

Did this play in high school back in 74...what a blast...learned every note in my head...Thank You Gregg.

Iv'e been playing my piano for hours. struggling enjoying a piece of music I'm writing. 2 break up the stress and irritation I've ate and played rock and pop from my youth. what I'd consider easy elementary chord sequences. Interestingly I've also had some difficulties getting songs like Michael Jackson 'one day in your life' together still great fun and a lesson in humility. So I decided to turn the piano off & listen to The Who a band I listened to most nights whilst pissing about pretending to do my home work. Quadrophenia ws my favourite L/P from 3rd year (15yo) 2 end of school. As soon as I heard the piano at the start of this track I heard the influence of the who in my own writing. Ace! back to the L/P. Note The fantasy's i'd have staring at the cover or listening 2 the songs were so passionate & now seem so ridiculous. As a teen I thought you wait until I'm a man. Never once thought as a man I'd still have to contend with men & their love of power & prejudice. Now that sounds ridiculous 2. DR JIMMY& MR JIM!!!!

thank god i have this on vinyl

Always loved this Album. Every song.

As I noted elsewhere (the Pearl Jam cover...meh): this is a great example of Pete's songwriting brilliance. Poetic lyrics, incredible composition, skillful operatic arrangement, and expert guitar playing. Of course, he also had one of rock's greatest drummers, and one of rock's greatest bass players.

Truly one of the best rock opera songs ever recorded, written performed by anyone. Long live Pete Townsend, Long live The Who, God bless Keith Moon and John Entwhisle, lonf live Roger Daltry.

The WHO. The BEST

This is it, when all ends and only this song can remain

Love it, still after all these years!

I discovered earlier today that if you listen to this with a really good pair of headphones, you get the most amazing experience:the power of this music completely envelopes you. You hear, feel, all of it. The bass shakes you to the very core, the stereo blows you away, the strings power through all, and the true power of this work shines through. A good pair of headphones can make it inescapable, and all the better for it.

fantástico!!grande tema de um dos melhores álbuns dos The Who

A masterpiece.......the song symbol of a generation aboslutely GREAT !!!! font of inspiration..........

I was 2 when this came out , at 12 everyone loved Wham and Duran Duran so I turned modette. Here I am at 52 listening again and it’s given me the same chills. Amazing song

Quad, is beauty, depth, energy and noble intent. So, many goosebumps, emotional highs and also sublime lows.I so Love this true masterpiece! Yes, not since Kanye Wests lip sync babble dribble has anything shown us the difference between grunt like tripe and exqusite sound wave caviar.

If I were in one of my old hot rods I'd have to SMOKE THE FUCK outta the tires to this song!

not just a song.......but,a novel and soundtrack of life... to the youth who lived through that special time.......1973 !

This song stirs down to the very depths of my soul. Forever it will Rein O'er Me! Thank you for posting!

This is absolutely incredible! I'm 32 and this song really touches my heart..

The first four chords are the most epic song opening ever. Major, major, major.... minor....

Everyone's essence of being is ageless, eternal and blissful. This song helped you connect with that essence.

I saw them live in concert last sunday and when they did this song it blew my mind! so amazing.

I think this is the best song I've ever heard

what an Lp, out standing it really touched my soul to hear such a sound & the feeling it gives you great Lp,

This song always put my skin like a chicken, is one of my favorites

The music - yep - but the comments bring it to life - I'm not on my own

Thanks so much, Jason ! First time I heard this I was 15, in 1981. It was my cousin ( luckly his name was not KEVIN...lol ) to lend me the album... QUADROPHENIA , the MOD movement and THE WHO will never die !!!

This is unquestionably a brilliant masterpiece - probably the best composition Townsend ever created. Also likely the best showcase of Daltry's astonishing range and incredibly powerful voice. Sonically, the instrumental textures, pacing and emotional execution are all simply breathtaking! I've been listening to this since it came out and it still never fails to give me chills.

wonderful, the best band of all time

I remember this well, this is a classic

rock an roll may never die but it some times makes me cranky that my 21 year old son listens to the Doors and thinks that "Spanish Caravans" is brand new. I'm 64 and bought the album in ..what? 1968?

Less than 24 hours, I think, 'til I see them. Not sure I've been this excited for a long time.

It's still great and OI give Morrison more credit than he deserves just because he was part of my youth

my fav who song, and my fav love song, only love can make it rain, the way the beach is kissed by the sea

one of my top spngs

my heart felt thanks for the above series my friend. ive just finished listening to them all and im now on ebay buying the album. again thanks

My all time favorite Who song. Thanks for putting this one up.

that sounds so familiar. I remember when one of my kids wanted me to hear this "new music" it was Robert Plant. I'm glad that we like the same stuff.

Quadophenia.... toute ma vie

Love Reign O'er Me The Who, London Philharmonic Orchestra Only love can make it rain The way the beach is kissed by the sea Only love can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers layin' in the fields Love, reign o'er me Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Only love can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky Only love can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spend apart alone I need to get back home to cool, cool rain I can't sleep, and I lay, and I think The night is hot and black as ink Woo, oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain Love, reign o'er me Reign o'er me, o'er me, o'er me, woah Love, reign o'er me, o'er me Love Songwriters: Peter Townshend © 1973 MCA Records Inc.

So awesome to go back to real music

This has to be in an empathetic Top ten by most people.. Surely?

This song sends a shiver down my spine...thx for posting.

PJ did it for a movie with Adam Sandler called "Reign Over Me" supposedly Adam asked Eddie Vedder to do it. Very, VERY powerful use of music for the scene it was used in.

love it. just watched the film. my all time flick.
