"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"
Is there anybody out there that doesn't like Love Reign O-er Me?
I didn't think so.
It grabs me every time, changing my mood from whatever it was to a confused and powerful mix of pain, defiance and optimism. Daltry's anguished singing, Townshend's soaring guitar, the bittersweet lyrics ... wow.
I can be already sad, happy, whatever … I can be working and not even notice that music is playing - today I was planting a bush - and it just makes me stop, listen, tremble, and think, "ya, that's how I feel!"
That, people, is the power of music.
