Musical May week 4

Welcome to the final week of Musical May! The last song today is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. This song is 100% AWESOME! Many consider it to be the greatest rock song ever recorded, and the solo is #1 on many list of top solo's and I completly agree with them. This song had a lot of controversy however. In 1982, they played the song backwards and discovered a "Satanic" message. You would have to be a complete idiot to deny this, but I dont think Led Zeppelin put it in there on purpose. This song came out in 1971 on there album "Led Zeppelin IV".

Vocals- Robert Plant
Guitar- Jimmy Page
Bass/Keyboard- John Paul Jones
Drummer- John Bonham


There's a lady whose 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, ohh, 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 is a songbird who sings:
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, ohh, and it makes me wonder
Ooh, ooh, and 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 of the voices of those who standing looking
Ooh, 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
If there's a bustle hedgerow,
Dont 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
Theres still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Ooooooh
Your head is humming and it won't go,
In case you don't know:
The Pipers calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know:
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
SOLO
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 evreything 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
This song is beautiful and I hope you enjoyed the lyrics. If you hav'nt listened to this song you should really look it up right now. If you enjoy GOOD music like sane people, you'll love it.
Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.
