The song is about a young man about to jump into the ocean to end it all. Then he realizes that love can save him (like a rain of cool water saves a man dying of thirst) and walks away from the ocean and back to his life. It makes me joyous every time I hear it...
I used to sing this while going through rain storms on my motorcycle. It always struck me as a cry to God for the love only He could give. GREAT song and album on so many levels.
I don't think I've ever seen you THAT quiet and wide-eyed after a song ended for THAT long in your vids. I can see that really had an effect on you. Fantastic reaction, I'm glad I subbed! 👍
He is CRYING OUT for the Universe to acknowledge his presence WITH LOVE. It ties into his beliefs, here's a quote from 2008. "I am a songwriter,” said Townshed in a statement “I have faith in what I would call God, but I am not a religious man. I don't want to press my views on other people". ALSO BTW he was the first artist to contribute to Amnesty International, he's involved in charities and other philanthropic orgs and also drug advocacy. HE'S been fighting the good fight for a long time. #NYGenXBIKERLady
@@annother3350 HE IS! I'm glad that you get what I'm saying here about him and the rest of my comment. He's TRULY an awesome person when it comes to his philanthropy and his involvement with Amnesty International! He was involved with giving back and fighting for others long before Live Aid and all those other concerts came onto the scene. I'M an advocate for several decades. I also happen to deal with Amnesty International. I've received two certificate awards from them over the years for my work. Believe me when I tell you he's been down for MANY causes over the decades when it comes to OUR advocacy community! He truly is "rocking the world as a force for good" as we say. #NewYorkGenXBIKERLady
@@annother3350there's another part to this that ALWAYS hits me whenever I listen to this song. Some of my story is known here when it comes to my advocacy and my history with my ex-fiancees history. But I also had another ex-fiancee that this also related to this. They both wanted this song to be something we held onto because there were issues of separation. So when he talks about being up all night and thinking it applied to us. One was incarcerated for a long time. The other was a Marine who had finished his time. But then the Grenada war broke out. He decided to reenlist and was sent overseas. So I love this song for many reasons in different ways. BUT I have to say, even decades later every single time I hear it. IT STILL has the ability to bring me to tears. IT STILL is that powerful in a very beautiful but also in a sad way for me emotionally. This is truly a masterpiece as far as I am concerned. #NewYorkGenXBIKERLady
Very appropriate initial silence to hearing the closing track to one the greatest rock albums of all time. Pete Townsend’s masterpiece concept album that he said was the pinnacle of their musical career together. The whole album must be listened to in order to experience the brilliant song writing, instrumentals and emotional impact of the music. Great reaction.
I love the start of this song. You hear the rain falling, and the piano and drums give the feeling of a thunderstorm rolling in, then giving way to sunshine. Amazing use of musical instruments. And I haven’t begun to mention the lyrics and vocals yet.
My girl...I can't tell you how happy you made me when you said I LOVE THAT when you took the first break. THIS has always kinda been a love/hate relationship with people who say they are WHO fans. This one was so off-center it split their fan base of that makes sense, it still does amongst the older folks like. Some saw it as a power house and others saw it as a pop sellout? I'm happy it hit you in the way I always hoped it would once you checked it out. Glad you got around to it finally. All good things come to those who wait. WOOHOO! XO 💜 #NYGenXBIKERLady
great to see someone react with real emotion being swept away by the intensity of this story! As others have said, this is the final song of a 4 disc long rock opera album. Jimmy's been through so much, and this is finally when he prays to the heavens for Love. to me this is the peak of The Who, and Roger's best recorded vocals
Loved seeing you experience this powerful plea Jayy 💞 I heard the same emotion.👍🔥as always, love your sensitivity to the music and always genuine reaction.
This song is the climax of a rock opera called Quadrophenia. The story is the journey of troubled young people with this song a plea for love and peace, personal love...please...love rain on me. It's one of the great albums of the rock era
Tommy and Quadrophenia are GREAT albums. I was introduced to The Who when Boris The Spider came out, and have been a devoted fan ever since. I love watching Jayy, and knowing what is coming up, and predicting her reactions. Rodger has a Great set of pipes, and I loved the reaction. System crash.
Not begging but demanding love!!!!! Not by far but still my favorite song by The Who!! I think you can just forget it about having music nowadays like we had back in the 70's!!! So many great groups in that decade and "The Who" is in my all-time top five!!!
You might like the whole opera. I listened to it daily after school throughout ninth grade. I’m old now, and this music has provided a lifetime of inner soundtrack.
That's a great reaction to this song. I don't know how so many other people react to this song and don't feel emotional - they just say "yeah good song."
I haven't seen a bad reaction to this song, but yours is the best I've seen yet. Your mind was blown. As was and is mine every time I hear this majestic masterpiece.
I loove this song! And it´s my favourite band also. I like your reaction so much, because I felt the same when hearing it the first time. So overwhlmed. I´m not ashamed to confess, that I still got tears in my eyes listening to this song. keep on!!! Best greatings from Germany!
Some interpret this as the thunderclap of a spiritual awakening in addition to a plea for understanding from a higher power. The whole album is a true masterpiece, even among masterpieces! Watch the film - also called "Quadrophenia" like the album - it's also a masterpiece and takes seriously the story sketched out on the album. It's a serious film, spectacularly acted and well written. CHECK IT OUT.
Wow, you picked up the meaning of the song on your first listen when you said it sounds like he's begging please reign on me. Love Reign O'er me is the last song on the album Quadrophenia by The Who which is a concept album/rock opera. On the album, the main character (Jimmy) is contemplating suicide. He came very close to succeeding. But his life was saved when he learned the most important thing in life is love. Hence, Love Reign O'er Me. BTW, I always wished there was a video of Roger Daltrey singing the lyrics of this song while in the recording studio. The passion in his voice while singing this in the studio must have been a sight to see for the ages!
Great reaction, really moved me to see how moved you were. So many levels of greatness, indeed! They *all* bring it: Pete Townshend, the composer, arranger, producer, and guitarist who also did the orchestration on synthesizer; Roger Daltrey the vocalist at his most operatic and powerful; and the supremely powerful rhythm section thunderstorm of John Entwistle on bass and the dynamic Keith Moon on drums. A stunning climax to an awesome album!
That was prime vintage Who, flexing their muscles at full power. Roger just gave everything he had. Keith going mental on the drums. It's perfection. Enjoy Jayy.
This song is about a young man about to end his life and realizes that love is the rain that can quench his thirst for life again. A very moving transcendent moment. Watch the movie Quadropenia and then listen to the entire album.
The song conveys what it's like to be bipolar..... you know love is out there but you can't find it and feel it but you hope someday you'll find it.. the isolation and pain of not feeling loves tears every cell in your body... your reaction conveys you understand the pain and despair of a life without love . The final scream..pain but never giving up hope
Keith was notorious for screaming at the top of his lungs while he Played the Drums...Many times his scream "bled" through the other drum mics. It's REALLY apparent on Quadrophenia as is Keith knocking down his cymbals at the end of Love Rain O'er Me
I tell people that think all The Who can do is "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't get fooled again" to listen to this. Please try "The Real Me" off the same album. If you listen from the start of the album, there is a long intro, so you might want to get a version that starts "right away".
The Who - It's about time you heard it. Just playing with you. So much great music in the world to hear. Actually I thought you would get to this already as it is in the realm of popularity. I like to recommend others that fall by the way side like ELP and Jeff Beck RIP. There is a story behind Jeff and the 2007 crossroads concert. He needed a bass player, somebody recommended one and this young little girl shows up at his door. It thought it was a joke -- that is until she started playing. Within an hour he was comparing her to the legendary bass player Jaco Pastorius. The would be Tal Wilkenfeld. He became her mentor and treated her like daughter. -- (Jeff Beck, Freeway Jam + Blue Wind, Live in Japan 2009 Feb. 21) - Freeway Jam - is just a little snippet at the end of the bass solo.
No doubt about it, Jayy--The most operatic song of the Whos's career. Even a symphony conductor would love this arrangement--strings,piano, and powerful vocals that could even make Pavorotti go, "Dayyyymmmmm" Left ya speechless, didn't it? Great reaction and pick!!
The Who was made up of four strong personalities which is where the album Quadrophenia comes from. Even within this song, you hear their personalities screaming.
Ur wide eyes followed by "oh wow!", then silence...Girl, u just been blown away, again. Seems like w/ every Who song they get better & better. No stuff 😂
"Love Reign O'er Me" is a great, fantastic song on it's own. But it has more meaning and depth when heard in context with the rest of the album Quadrophenia.
From 1973. 51 year's ago.There is no group you can ever listen to that is as phenomenal as The Who. I don't know why you play so few songs from them. So many people think of them as the greatest band in the history of music and you've played maybe 4 or 5 songs. Wow, what a loss for you. I'm so sorry you've missed out on so much great music from them. You said that might be the best song you heard all day? That song might be the best song anyone has ever heard in their life yet they have so many other songs that are just as good if not better so you got to get with it girl
For the writer/s and musicians (I assume just the Who) your reaction must be extremely gratifying. It would be what they hoped for, I guess. Enjoy your moment of musical intoxication and hopefully you will have many more. It.'s good for the soul.
Now thats how you finish an album! When the singer Roger Daltrey, recorded this in 1978-9 he was 35, and his voice was peaking, and was just about at its best. He still tours with Pete Townsend the only two surviving members of The Who. He still belts this song out, but now being 79 he can’t just quite hit those high notes. Not surprising really. But at hie peak, in my opinion, Daltrey was the best of the best of rock singers.
Omg, Jayy, the look on your face when he hit that last note had me rolling, lol. I love watching you react to the genres of music I grew up with, and I see you appreciate it so much. Thank you, sweetie ( I can call you that because I'm old enough to be your grandmother, lol ). ❤
The finale to Quadrophenia....the culmination of the teenaged main character's journey from home life and partying street fights and drug abuse, getting thrown out, living on the streets, trying to fit in with his crowd but feeling awkward, searching for love, trying to make sense of the world while working menial jobs, raging at the injustice, then going off to the seaside land of his dreams only to find it's all a mirage. Even his hero turns out to be a lowly bell boy at a fancy hotel. He steals a boat and ends up stranded on a rock island in the rain watching his life flash before him while coming down off his drugs and alcohol. That ending song is a begging, pleading for love
The raw emotion of this song is stunning no matter how many times I listen to it
Masterpiece.
I have loved this song for 50 years and am so pleased to see young people picking up on it.
This album, Quadrophenia, is a rock masterpiece. And I use that word rarely
I just listened to Quadrophenia all the way through on a long drive. It was great!
@@d-2793 been a number of years since I listened to it all the way through. Unlike your typical rock album, Quadrophenia is an experience
Definitely using it correctly in this instance.
I rarely use the word Quadrophenia either 🙂
The song is about a young man about to jump into the ocean to end it all. Then he realizes that love can save him (like a rain of cool water saves a man dying of thirst) and walks away from the ocean and back to his life. It makes me joyous every time I hear it...
I heard he was pretty good at going up down in alleyways
I used to sing this while going through rain storms on my motorcycle. It always struck me as a cry to God for the love only He could give. GREAT song and album on so many levels.
Pete is a fantastic guitar player. Also a great song writer. He wrote this and about 95% of their songs.
I like your use of the word “suspenseful”, since Townshend is an absolute master of the suspended chord, and this song is a prime example.🎸💥
I don't think I've ever seen you THAT quiet and wide-eyed after a song ended for THAT long in your vids. I can see that really had an effect on you. Fantastic reaction, I'm glad I subbed! 👍
This is one of Pete Townshend's & the Who's best songs, and one of the greatest rock vocals ever - Daltrey brings it loud and full of energy!
I appreciate how you talk while the song plays rather than constantly stopping it.
He is CRYING OUT for the Universe to acknowledge his presence WITH LOVE. It ties into his beliefs, here's a quote from 2008. "I am a songwriter,” said Townshed in a statement “I have faith in what I would call God, but I am not a religious man. I don't want to press my views on other people".

Still get emotional over this song . Keith hitting those drums to sound like thunder and Roger's vocals are just perfect.
I love the start of this song. You hear the rain falling, and the piano and drums give the feeling of a thunderstorm rolling in, then giving way to sunshine. Amazing use of musical instruments. And I haven’t begun to mention the lyrics and vocals yet.
I was lucky enough to have seen them in San Francisco on the Quadrophenia Tour, and I'm still stunned by how great they were.
The best true Rick band with one of their very best!

to me this is the peak of The Who, and Roger's best recorded vocals
literally, I think he wants to let love rule his life. the simplicity of it is brilliant.
It has everything and Roger is a next level singer, beautiful!!
My all time favorite too... Earth moving emotions. Roger Daltrey kills it on this song.
Greatest Rock Band Ever
If Roger Daltry, lead vocal sang that into an Autotune today, he'd have scrambled the circuits!!
Loved seeing you experience this powerful plea Jayy 💞 I heard the same emotion.👍🔥as always, love your sensitivity to the music and always genuine reaction.
Your reaction to the very last "Love" was priceless. When it got quiet just before, I was like...."wait for it."
This a concept album. And should be listened from the beginning to the end, in order.
What drums do you wanna play Keith?
Keith : "all of them"
Your long silence at the end of the song spoke volumes.
A masterful conclusion to an entire album. One of their best ever
It's okay jayy. It's a very powerful song
This song is the climax of a rock opera called Quadrophenia. The story is the journey of troubled young people with this song a plea for love and peace, personal love...please...love rain on me. It's one of the great albums of the rock era
Even though Moon’s drumming is prominent, I feel it drives the song differently than some of his other work.
Never seen such a long, speechless reaction from any reactor before. Loved the reaction!! New subscriber!!!
Long silence.... Yep. I agree.
That is the most honest reaction I've ever seen. Thank you for being real.
It is a dual meaning he is asking for love to rule his life by using the double sound of rain
Tommy and Quadrophenia are GREAT albums.
I was introduced to The Who when Boris The Spider came out, and have been a devoted fan ever since.
I love watching Jayy, and knowing what is coming up, and predicting her reactions. Rodger has a Great set of pipes, and I loved the reaction. System crash.
The Who's Greatest song of their best album
They are The Who, no need today more. A GREAT group that you need to listen to (all of their songs) your ears will thank you.
Beautiful reaction, this what music is supposed to do to people. I have 2400+ favorite songs and they all move me.
The real me by the Who is another great one
Not begging but demanding love!!!!! Not by far but still my favorite song by The Who!! I think you can just forget it about having music nowadays like we had back in the 70's!!! So many great groups in that decade and "The Who" is in my all-time top five!!!
you just can not get emotional about this beautiful masterpiece of music ,townshend is a f..king guineas,
You might like the whole opera. I listened to it daily after school throughout ninth grade. I’m old now, and this music has provided a lifetime of inner soundtrack.
LOL. your reaction is literally me every single time I hear this song. It's a monumental piece of art.
Is this the perfect song? This song blows my mind every time I listen to it.
perfect reaction !
That's a great reaction to this song. I don't know how so many other people react to this song and don't feel emotional - they just say "yeah good song."
You got it...the song hit you! Best reaction ever! Thank you!
I haven't seen a bad reaction to this song, but yours is the best I've seen yet. Your mind was blown. As was and is mine every time I hear this majestic masterpiece.

Try adding The Rock as an intro and you will feel the real power and majesty of The Who, Keith and Roger particularly ❤🎉
Ann Wilson of Heart does a great cover of this which absolutely does it justice
And the piano is rain, cymbals the lightening, and Keith moon lays down the thunder.
This shows that you know your music.
Wow, you picked up the meaning of the song on your first listen when you said it sounds like he's begging please reign on me.

Epic song from Quadrophenia ,one of the greatest concept albums ever. It is fittingly the last song, concluding an incredible journey.
Your reaction at the end of the song was priceless, Jayy. What a band. The Who were a force of nature.
Great reaction, really moved me to see how moved you were. So many levels of greatness, indeed! They *all* bring it: Pete Townshend, the composer, arranger, producer, and guitarist who also did the orchestration on synthesizer; Roger Daltrey the vocalist at his most operatic and powerful; and the supremely powerful rhythm section thunderstorm of John Entwistle on bass and the dynamic Keith Moon on drums. A stunning climax to an awesome album!
My favorite song by them!
The whole album is a masterpiece.
This year The Who's masterpiece Quadrophenia celebrates it's 50th birthday. I remember buying it in November
1973.😃
That was prime vintage Who, flexing their muscles at full power. Roger just gave everything he had. Keith going mental on the drums. It's perfection. Enjoy Jayy.
Best reaction ever! I could feel that you felt that.❤
Saw The Who perform this live in 1995 at Madison Square Garden for the Quadrophenia tour. Roger Daltry hit every note for the finale 🎶
The Who definitely were a great band
This song is about a young man about to end his life and realizes that love is the rain that can quench his thirst for life again. A very moving transcendent moment. Watch the movie Quadropenia and then listen to the entire album.
Great review. Amazing how rock songs took on the classical (almost opera) in 70/80s
The song conveys what it's like to be bipolar..... you know love is out there but you can't find it and feel it but you hope someday you'll find it.. the isolation and pain of not feeling loves tears every cell in your body... your reaction conveys you understand the pain and despair of a life without love .

You reactors are never ready! Get ready.
Great reaction to this song.
Roger=POWER
Pete=Genius
Pete = Only research
WOW !!!.....best suspension ever !!!
No doubt about it, Jayy--The most operatic song of the Whos's career. Even a symphony conductor would love this arrangement--strings,piano, and powerful vocals that could even make Pavorotti go, "Dayyyymmmmm" Left ya speechless, didn't it? Great reaction and pick!!
Your full minute of silent reaction was spot on. Made me follow.
The Who was made up of four strong personalities which is where the album Quadrophenia comes from. Even within this song, you hear their personalities screaming.
There are few perfect songs, I think this is one of them.
One of the greatest rock recordings of all time, from one of the greatest albums of all time. The movie Quadrophenia is worth seeing also.
Ur wide eyes followed by "oh wow!", then silence...Girl, u just been blown away, again. Seems like w/ every Who song they get better & better. No stuff 😂
"Love Reign O'er Me" is a great, fantastic song on it's own. But it has more meaning and depth when heard in context with the rest of the album Quadrophenia.
AMAZING song from the fab film quadrophenia #modforever ❤ xx
What a great song and band.
Luvved your reaction Jayy. A Beautiful & Timeless Song that gets me every time. You made my day... Thank You Jayy Show 😊
From 1973. 51 year's ago.There is no group you can ever listen to that is as phenomenal as The Who. I don't know why you play so few songs from them. So many people think of them as the greatest band in the history of music and you've played maybe 4 or 5 songs. Wow, what a loss for you. I'm so sorry you've missed out on so much great music from them. You said that might be the best song you heard all day? That song might be the best song anyone has ever heard in their life yet they have so many other songs that are just as good if not better so you got to get with it girl
My favorite also.
And it's even better in the context of the album. Matter of fact, I might have just figured out my listening pleasure for today.
For the writer/s and musicians (I assume just the Who) your reaction must be extremely gratifying. It would be what they hoped for, I guess. Enjoy your moment of musical intoxication and hopefully you will have many more. It.'s good for the soul.
Speechless.
it's OK cry sweetheart,trust me i bet most of yhe men have cried over this masterpiece as well I can tell you I have many times
Now thats how you finish an album! When the singer Roger Daltrey, recorded this in 1978-9 he was 35, and his voice was peaking, and was just about at its best. He still tours with Pete Townsend the only two surviving members of The Who. He still belts this song out, but now being 79 he can’t just quite hit those high notes. Not surprising really. But at hie peak, in my opinion, Daltrey was the best of the best of rock singers.
Omg, Jayy, the look on your face when he hit that last note had me rolling, lol. I love watching you react to the genres of music I grew up with, and I see you appreciate it so much. Thank you, sweetie ( I can call you that because I'm old enough to be your grandmother, lol ). ❤
Great song. Love watching your reactions. 🌺✌️
Getting this song in context would help you. Watch the movie "Quadrophenia" when you get a chance.
Perhaps the most powerful song ending in rock history.
THE WHO "You better, you bet".
Did that one coming soon
The finale to Quadrophenia....the culmination of the teenaged main character's journey from home life and partying street fights and drug abuse, getting thrown out, living on the streets, trying to fit in with his crowd but feeling awkward, searching for love, trying to make sense of the world while working menial jobs, raging at the injustice, then going off to the seaside land of his dreams only to find it's all a mirage. Even his hero turns out to be a lowly bell boy at a fancy hotel. He steals a boat and ends up stranded on a rock island in the rain watching his life flash before him while coming down off his drugs and alcohol. That ending song is a begging, pleading for love
