Stairway to heaven—But the lyrics are Ai generated images

Показать описание
In early 2019, still recovering from the awe and inspiration brought by Queen's biographical movie "Bohemian Rhapsody," which was released at the end of the previous year, I received a recommendation from Xiami Music's AI radio of a song. At first glance, it lasts for 8 minutes, which I thought was a bit too long. Before that, the longest song I had listened to was "Free Bird," which lasts more than 9 minutes, and it was because of the movie "Kingsman." Most of the songs I had heard were less than seven minutes long, and I wasn't patient at all. I thought of skipping to the next song, but after listening to the first ten seconds of the prelude, I couldn't bring myself to do it. The initial guitar chords accompanied by the flute's melody had a certain magical quality that drew me in, compelling me to continue listening until the prelude ended, and when the lyrics began: "There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold, and she's buying her stairway to heaven." I decided to listen to it all the way through.

Yes, that song was "Stairway to Heaven," and back then, I valued lyrics quite a bit. I always thought there was some story or symbolism behind the lyrics of this song. Later, I learned that Led Zeppelin's lyrics were somewhat spontaneous, but the line "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" seemed to make sense. In terms of melody, my favorite part was the solo from 6:22 to 6:44.

Perhaps it was because from the end of 2018 to the first half of 2019, I was preparing for the college entrance exam, and those memories of striving were still vivid. Maybe it was because, even though I was tired at the time, I had a clear goal, and my scores in various exams, no matter important or not, were generally decent. I consistently ranked in the top five in the class, even reaching the first place once during a mock exam. This brought a sense of honor. Since falling in love with this song, I've listened to it almost every time before doing something significant. Each time I listen to it, I feel calmer and more confident.

It's said that you should listen to Led Zeppelin sooner or later, whether it's morning or evening. To some extent, I should thank Xiami, which is no longer around, because a random recommendation introduced me to Led Zeppelin early, and it made me hear my all-time favorite song, no contest. So far, my second favorite would probably be "April" by Deep Purple.

If Queen opened the door to rock for me, Led Zeppelin deepened my understanding of rock. After that, I began actively exploring well-known rock bands and artists like Deep Purple, The Kinks, Black Sabbath, Metallica, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, U2, and more. I also ventured into contemporary music with a relatively fresh style, such as The Fin, Peach Pit, and even more rebellious, carefree and nonchalant styles like Morden Cinema Master and No Party for Cao Dong.

AI generated images by midjourney was something new for me, and I got to know it last autumn, sort of fun for me.So the very first thing I came up with it was this vedio, that's how it came out.

Hope you enjoy it, and please share your thought about this song in the comment below.

Hi, guys, I have an announcement about this channel:

I know many of you are following because my Videos of Ai generated images, especially the Stairway to Heaven one, while others subscribe because my recordings of building scale models.I will keep on making these videos, but here's an important change I'm about to make recently.

Due to the copyright policy of youtube, none of my videos are able to make profit because the soundtracks I'm using, these are the songs I favored.For these AI generated image videos, with the song providing lyrics as BGM is essential, however, for the scale model building videos, adding BGM is mainly because the original sound is suffering to listen.But now, I'm going to mute all my videos I've posted for goood.

That is because I want to pass the youtube partner program, and I tried it a month ago, with the copyright issue of these soundtracks, I failed.So, now I'm making the change.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope you keep following my channel, this is not the end, but a new beginning, I will consider another way to keep posting these two kinds of videos in the near future, with the best soundtracks I could ever get.

The videos of sclae model will be muted in the following 2 hours, for the AI generated videos, I'll leave the sound for another day, if you want to download or record the screen, please hurry.They will be muted after 19:00 6/12/2023 at GMT+11.

I grew up in a generation with this song by Led Zeppelin, being both the most beautiful rock anthem and yet despised song, due to anyone with a guitar thinking they could play it. I had tuned it out and removed it from my internal playlist. Now, at nearly 70 years old, I feel blessed to have found this amazing artificial intelligence adaptation . Thankfully I hit the play icon... Beautiful moment... Than you for posting it. Have a Happy and meaningful Thanksgiving Day Celebration. 🤯

Could this be the best Rock song ever written ?

Beautiful visuals. Very surreal. Excellent ! I'm an artist and a former lead guitarist of a rock band. I consider this song as one of the greatest rock songs in history. Great music and art go well together.

For lovers of Stairway or The Mighty Zep, check out Stairway To Heaven by Heart at the Kennedy Center. True to the spirit of this utterly iconic song, Ann Wilson singing and Robert Plant moved to tears.

Still the best song ever written. It is the best song ever written if for no other reason that it was 8 minutes long and it got high rotation radio when radio only played songs under 3 minutes.

It wasn't a single because Led Zeppelin didn't release singles. In fact, the bean counters at Atlantic Records insisted that Jimmy Page whittle it down to around that 3 minute mark and their manager Peter Grant told them to piss off.

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, 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, 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
Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
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
Ohh, whoa
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

Back in the 80’s the go-to Rock and Roll radio station in Nashville, Tennessee — my hometown — was WKDF. All of us metal heads listened to it religiously. The station routinely held contests where music fans would call in and vote for the best Rock tunes of all time. This song won every time! No other song ever had a chance.

It's probably been 20 years since I actually listened to Stairway to Heaven! Cool experience with the AI images!

Never listened to the lyrics word for word before, but have always loved the song. I'm like this about a lot of songs from my generation and I enjoyed the music even thought I didn't always look for the meanings and deeper thoughts of the artists! The AI images really do send a message.
