LED ZEPPELIN * Stairway to Heaven 1971 HQ

"Stairway to Heaven" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by the band's guitarist Jimmy Page and lead singer Robert Plant for their untitled fourth studio album (often titled Led Zeppelin IV). The song is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The song has three sections, each one progressively increasing in tempo and volume. The song begins in a slow tempo with acoustic instruments (guitar and recorders) before introducing electric instruments. The final section is an uptempo hard rock arrangement highlighted by Page's guitar solo (considered by many to be one of the greatest ever accompanying Plant's vocals that end with the plaintive a cappella line: "And she's buying a stairway to heaven."

Stairway To Heaven
Led Zeppelin

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 ooh 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

Oh whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh

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
And there's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Oh, 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, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Born in 81. My mom told me a story years ago, my aunt Becky had aneurysm in 87 at home, when my mom caught wind from my grandmother, she got in the car and hauled ass to the hospital to see or check on her sister, this song came on the radio the moment my mom left to the hospital in her car. My mom knew she was gone, and cried the whole way there. This song was my aunt Becky's favorite. When I hear this song it's so bad ass I get chills man.

My mother used to play this on her acoustic every night until a stroke took that ability from her, watching her deteriorate has been the hardest thing to see.

[hogcaller]

Greatest rock song ever recorded !! Nothing else will ever compare !! ❤🤍💙

[felixnorman]

imagine hearing this when it first came out! It happened to me, and I thought to myself how lucky to be alive and listening to such great music that existed then.

[markkennedy]

One of the absolute best songs ever written. I was in 9th grade when this song first came out in 1971. I remember it like it was yesterday. I just listened to this song at least a 1000 times over the past 53 years and I will continue to listen to it until the day that I die. 🙏🏻👍🏻

[elcerlyc]

The stairway is less frightening when your loved one already left . He was a big fan, hope he's rocking up there .

[lisadiulio]
