Talking About Stairway To Heaven from Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin is a first heavy metal band in the world, formed in London, English, in 1968. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music. Ok, i will not discuss further this band, you can read directly on wikipedia.

One of the many songs of led zeppelin that I like is stairway to heaven, this is the first song that made me love this band. You know, when this song started and sound excerpts acoustic guitar from Jimmy, as if takes us into the atmosphere is very peaceful, quiet and classic, well as in the peaceful jungle. Then enter fipple flute sound recordings of Jonesy, and Robert sang lyrics that seemed to suddenly appear. The combination of a very beautiful and peaceful, then the music began to increase with the entry of Bonham's drum sound, and finally the song was very fast at the end. I think this song is a song that is very complicated, ranging from guitar, bass, drums, and lyrics are quite strange.

Lyric of Stairway To Heaven :

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven...

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven...

when you read the lyrics, you will begin to see a few words or sentences are quite strange and difficult to understand in the song stairway to heaven, yeah this is indeed a mystery to this day. In fact there are some who say that when the song is played in reverse, then the lyrics :

"If there's a bustle in your Hedgerow, do not be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on."

Will change the sound and it sounded like a song like this satanic like this :

"Oh here's to my sweet Satan 
the one Whose little paths would make me sad
Whose power is Satan he'll give you give you 666
there was a little toolshed
where he made us suffer sad Satan "

Of course personnel Led Zeppelin reject these accusations, they claimed that the charges were very nasty to say their songs are songs satanic. However, if true this song has a hidden meaning when played in reverse, then I congratulate on intelligence personnel Led Zeppelin that could make the lyrics full of mystery.
