My dad always adored led zeppelin. He passed on his taste of music to me at a young age. Last Wednesday he passed away peacefully in his bed, surrounded by his family, and we played stairway to heaven. Miss you dad.
Same here! Almost exactly the same which is weird. But my dad passed in 2012. It gets easier I promise, you’ll always miss him but the pain lessens with time 💕 stay strong
So sorry for your loss, Ben. It's very painful for some time, but step by step, day by day, you start to move on. You start to laugh and smile again. Like Mak said, it does get easier.
My sister was probably 15 when she bought the vinyl in the mid 70's and tragically passed away in 78'. My parents gave me her album and I love every song. Still listen to it on my record player.
I kid you not, this song and the Pink Floyd Album Dark side of the moon, the first time I heard them - I definitely had this wild deja vu like damn Ive heard this hundreds of time before.
Growing up with an emotionally abusive father and a really dysfunctional family, this song literally saved my life. I first felt the twangs of the chords in elementary school when the middle school band came to play. I sensed so deeply that it delved into the deepest part of me. I didn't know what it was called but it spoke to me in a way that surpasses logic--this is the beauty of music. Whenever my abusive father would rage upstairs I retreated into the room under the basement stairway and listened to the lyrics as if the song was about me. Thank God it was a song of hope b/c I do not know how I would have survived a childhood so abusive, so lacking in love, so full of fear and anxiety. It has taken me a lifetime to overcome the trauma of my childhood --a childhood I would not have wished on anyone-- but that song is my swan song. It is a song of hope. Music is God's magic mushroom. The potion to heal broken hearts and broken souls. I was in love with Robert Plant! That love got me through an otherwise impossible adolescence. Yes, you always have two roads to go by. You always have a choice. Choose the one that leads to heaven, not hell.
0:01 mystical intro 0:53 Classic Folk + Blues 4:18 Rock 5:34 legendary guitar solo 6:44 Hard Rock 7:45 And the sad part, the song slowly fades away. Except Opera, this classic has it all. Enjoy "Led Zeppelin" fellas! 👍
@@olijackson2800 I'm 16 and I feel the same way man! I'm glad our younger generations are listening to well made, well thought out music, moving music!
My Grandfather absolutely loved Led Zeppelin. Whenever me or my siblings were in the car with him and this song came on, he always told us that this was the greatest song of all time. He passed away 7 December 2021. Now every time I hear this song or any Zeppelin song, I'm convinced that he put it on for me. Rest easy, Grandpa. I'll keep getting the Led out for you.
I'm sorry your Grandpa had to go. It's so odd for me to know exactly what I was doing the day he died, but December 7th is my brother's birthday, and at one point in the morning that day I was sitting out back on the patio sending him a long, brotherly text. And I remember thinking that I never forget his birthday partly because it's also Pearl Harbor Day. Now I will never forget that it's the day that Mitchell's Grandpa passed on. Kind thoughts to you, friend. Grandpa has climbed the stairway, huh? As a grandpa myself, I can assure you too that he loved you and the others in a way that was multiplied even from how he loved his own children. Kids are great, but grandchildren are great+++ because as we (that's you too) get older and closer to the "stairway", we reflect more and more on the only way we can live on here on Earth...through you. Peace.
The great thing about long rock songs is, usually, it's not 8 long minutes of hard rock. It's a journey, a slow path up to the top, a song that takes the time not because it wants more rock, but because it NEEDS the time to have the proper buildup. Songs like this take their time because the crescendo wouldn't be the same without the slow, building melody that creates it. In other words, you'll always need to build that stairway if you want to truly make it to heaven.
Great music, nay all great art, is like great sex. Enjoy the journey instead of rushing to the destination. This _contrast_ makes us appreciate the totality of the experience.
I’m a nurse who used to take care of ICU patients. This song reminds me of a patient I had. When we removed his life support, his family requested we listen to rock music because it was his favorite. He finally passed to this song. I’ll never forget them.
My dad assed from cancer almost 3 yrs ago. As I would take of him this song came on the radio. He told me when he passed when I hear the song it’s him saying hi. I cry all the time. I miss him dearly. Wish heaven had a phone. 😢
I remember the first time hearing this song when I was about 6 or 7 years old. It's a very special song to me because it was playing on the radio in my dad's truck when we were out I believe on a Friday evening.
@@EmersonPUSA Yeah, imagine if Jimmy Page came into the guitar store one day... being able to witness the epic transformation of expression on the face the guitar store employee, from rage to astonishment after realizing who he's listening to, would be even more hilarious, no?
I was a little kid when we were coming home from a renaissance fair in the evening. My parents played this in the car as I watched the pine trees go by. One of my favorite memories.
We get rammed on cost of and usage of products and taxes and FUCKING RIDICULOUS to be hounded by these DAMN things when attempting to search for release and be at peace that comes from Great Music cuz money more important.... Don't they play enough in between song to song???
In March 1971 My girlfriend and I went to the Ulster Hall in Belfast to hear Led Zeppelin. That night they played this song for the first time and WE WERE THERE!! Didn't realise this at the time but we were among the first 1500 people to witness musical history.. Now married 53 years and counting.
@@FROSHTV4ReL 26 ... luckily in 1970, I saw LZ at a place called Shepton Mallet in the west country of England (Bath Blues Festival); I lived just up the road in Bristol. It was the forerunner of Glastonbury, I think.
@@kinoirvoidjustice and it actually says the lady knows words have two meanings in the first minute. I wonder if it's actually an intentional message. Or it was just super super super big misunderstanding.
@@claudedevries8642 pretty sure OP was making a joke about how the song changes so much throughout its duration and just overall how it feels more like an experience than just any old song, in other words it makes you feel like you're on a journey not that you're actually on one. Don't take things to literally.
@@Daniel-yq9zm I was going to say! Not as bad as the kid who told me that Nickleback was a better band than Zeppelin and that the greatest drummer was not Bonham, but Dre (becuase apparently John Bonham couldn't beat box and that's all that qualifies to be a good drummer).
My deepest condolences for your tragic loss. That is against nature: everyone loses everybody eventually, but burying a child is never supposed to happen: as a parent of two young girls, I cannot imagine the measure and depth--the chasm--of that grief. I wish you all the best in that process.
I am so sad for your loss, l have one child who is 21 & he is my whole world. This is one of my all time favourite songs. I don't know your son's name but l will pray that God gives you strength & l just want to say l love you. 🙏❤️
Sorry may they RIP, my younger brother passed away 48 hours ago he loved this song stairs to heaven from Led zeppelin my brother is resting now and i listen this song in his memory
My father passed away this month. He is the reason I listen to Led Zeppelin, and many other bands or artists still to this day, and this song will now forever remind me of him. He's one of the few people I look up to, and I appreciate him for persevering for as long as he did even though things kept getting worse and worse for him and I. Thank you dad, for making me a better person with some good taste in music. I hope to see you again someday.
EVEN THOUGH THIS SONG NEVER HIT BILLBOARD, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN BY LED ZEPPELIN HAS BECOME A ROCK AND ROLL MASTERPIECE FOR OVER 50 YEARS. BRAVO, FELLAS. Kenneth Huang. 10/12/24.
It's my mum's 8th year anniversary of her passing. And this song was one of her songs played at her funeral. I always deliberately try to avoid this song, but every year I will play this no matter how much it hurts. Rip mum. Miss our talks, laughs, the lot.🙏🌻🌈📻
This song was recorded in 1971, and it still sounds spectacular over 50 years later! The song just stands the test of time. An absolutely phenomenal recording by Led Zeppelin!!!
*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, 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 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 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 souls 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
Well they have no clue what great music this is it's a timeless classic. I remember in high school chorus some got to choose songs to preform live & my classmate & his band chose this song after they were done with their performance the school stood shocked cuz they didn't know what to make of it. Well I started yelling & clapping & told Wes that him & his band did such a great job. People need to broaden their horizons & not be so uptight & enjoy awesome music
My dad passed away in 2019 and this is one of his favorite songs 🤍 I had the lyrics tattooed on me before he passed, but now they take on a new meaning...I love and miss u so much dad 💜 Edit: my pic is him holding me when I was a baby in ‘89
i'm a 18 year old black male and i've listen to r&! and rap all my life and this is the first time i've ever listened to this song and i'm realizing i missed out on a whole fricking genre of music
i grew up on all rap some r&b all through high school my 20s i felt like all other music was trash etc in my early 30s started listing to rock etc smh now 40 still love rap but music like this is timeless.
I'm no drummer, I actually play guitar. But when I heard this song for the first time somewhere between 15 to 20 years ago, it was the DRUMS that got me into it. This is exactly the way rock should sound on drums: subtle but open and with lots of feeling and presence. Bohnam was huge! a true master of the art.
Lyrics 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
There's no word to truly describe the beauty and meaning of this song's lyrics. It makes me wonder how Led Zeppelin could write this. These lyrics are mysterious and only the feeling can help me understand the true meaning of this song
fortunate enough to see them live way back when but I think it may have been Hammersmith Odeon .. R.Plant still has the most soulful voice any rock singer has ever posessed and would have loved to hear him duet with J.Joplin
I think the reason I am wearing hearing aids at 73 is "thank you" Led Zeppelin. God, I loved this band and their music. Memories of riding around around for hours listening to this album. My wonderful days of being a hippie!

The way it transitions from slow in the beginning to absolutely rocking at the end is so flawless, you don’t even realize it’s happening. Wonderful song

And from 5:34 to about 6:44 ladies and gentlemen is why Jimmy Page is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Lots of musicians can make a guitar talk, but only a select few can make it sing. That right there is a minute and ten seconds of pure bliss. Never gets old. Each time you hear it is like hearing it for the first time again. This is Zep’s magnum opus, and quite possibly the greatest rock song ever made.
As I’m replying to this comment I’m hearing that guitar solo for the first time. I’m just getting into Led Zeppelin and yeah this can’t be far from the truth. One of the most beautiful Rock songs of all time.
David Gilmour is the only other person I can think of that can make a guitar sing. Perhaps in a different way than Jimmy Page, though. Both are basically legends when it comes to that specific instrument at this point though
@@nayreel3529 My friend always says Jerry Garcia can make the guitar sing but I myself am not that big on the greatful dead so idk....I totally agree about David Gilmore though
I was born in 2002, but my dad who grew up in the 80's and raised me on rock. When I was a kid I remember loving when led zeppelin or queen would come on and he would get really into it and drum on the steering wheel. And now when I listen to them, I not only appreciate the beautiful music, but also reflect on the good times I had with my dad as a kid, love you

Some day we will all return to the energy of the universe like your father. None of us will be forgotten, but also none will be remembered. We are both nothing, and everything simultaneously.
Não entendo o idioma, mas a melodia parece que é alguém está em sofrimento profundo em que sua alma está saindo do corpo e indo para um lugar escuro. É impressão que tenho da mensagem oculta que ela passa.
My dad and me had a complicated relationship, all time arguing about dumb stuff, but music always did put us together. This was the song we played on his funeral 4 years ago. Time has been stopped for me since then. If you are reading this on a similar situation, i'm sorry for your loss. I miss you so much dad
I lost my best friend to suicide. blew his brains out..at 80.....I was 39. we got on sooo well! had it been another time we would surely have got it together..I always loved this song but now it has extra meaning cos sometimes words have no meaning...I am sorry for your loss but remember we keep their spirit alive :) they are with us no matter what xx
As if this song is 50 years old '71-2021 its aged absolutely beautifully and to me it still feels like its ahead of its time even today. People have been inspired by its composition and it will be celebrated by future generations for another 50 years and more 🤘
Too bad they chose to create a generic video for the song. I would have loved to see more clips of the band members when they were younger around the time this song was being created. Yea, I know they like to sell that type of stuff to fans, but this is an official video for one of their premier songs for godsakes. It should have top tier video footage to go along with the song.
My papa listened to this song a lot, he was one of the people who raised me. I lost him a little over a year ago now due to a broken heart a month after my grandmother. My dad mentioned I should learn to play this on guitar to make him proud. I’m just a beginner, but I will. No doubt.
Today, one year ago, my father passed away, he loved Led Zeppelin so much, he used to try and record it from the radio in the late 80' and got angry as the Moderator spoke. I can't believe he's gone, but I listen to this music and he is with me, I feel it.
I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin. It wasn't until I was older that I came to understand the message in Stairway to Heaven. It is possibly the greatest song ever written; it altered the landscape of rock and roll. Written by Robert Plant, whose voice leads us on the journey through seamless instrumental brilliance that's both delicate and thunderous, he tells a story of materialism and spiritualism, of faith, doubt, and the eternal quest for something greater than ourselves. He invites us to seek enlightenment and spiritual fulfillment, but we can only get there together, in unity. Stunning.
This song has had a transcendent effect on MILLIONS, GENERATIONS, for 50 years and counting. It defined a generation, an era of tremendous musical talent, that many would try to emulate years later. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still being listened to hundreds of years from now such as the works of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. And now, Led Zeppelin joins that list. That's how much of a masterpiece this is! 🕊 Love.✌
I just listened to this song for THE first time ever- I’ve never heard anything more beautiful in my 19 yrs of living🥺 Wow thank you all for the support I didn’t expect the comment to blow up at all just trying to enjoy this amazing new genre of music!! **Update** I bought an electric guitar and I’m slowly learning the song!
Each era claims its own timeless classics. The works of Mozart and Beethoven are celebrated not just as classical music, but as eternal masterpieces. Likewise, Stairway to Heaven transcends the label of classic rock; it embodies the depth, complexity, and emotional resonance of true classical music. It’s a modern symphony that has woven itself into the fabric of musical history-one of the defining classical pieces of our time
My life is really tough right now, and every time i lay down in bed listening to this song on my own, I just close my eyes and let my feelings through. This song helps me relax. I love it so much
@@Level1Bear they did actually, I'm finally gonna be able to escape my mother for a few years and go to boarding school, I've never felt more relieved! Thank you for the support
This is not a song, it`s an anthem of Rock, performed by the Gods of Rock. I fell in love with this in 1971, at the age of 15 and here I am, 53 years later still very much in love with it. It will outlive us all. When the last star goes out, the last sound in the Universe will be Robert Plant, singing those final few words.
They were heavily influenced by the Lord of the Rings, as they were huge fans of the books. You can hear hints of it in this song. 'In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, and the voices of those who stand looking.' The rings of smoke coming from Isengard as the Ents watch Saruman's forces cut down and burn the forest, including other Ents.
It's such a great point. Look at the bands around then and the talent that just oozed from them and lasted for decades. I still have no idea how it's even possible. Oh yeah, this guy Jimmy popped over from band named the Birds or whatever. Where in the heck did he get his talent and ability the first day The Yardbirds played together. It is and always will be mind blowing. RIP JB
@@geraltofrivia2570 fr, just like the tunes the A Tribe Called Quest members and other hiphop acts such as De La Soul/The Roots created back in the 90's
Been listening to this song for around 50 yrs and it still Rocks like no other. Very well played and Sung By Led Zeppelin. Listening again 9-26-21... Rock On !!
Awesome, i was 8 when this song got aired for the first time. Notice that it begun on a very low note to touch our emotions slowly climbed to the highest note when it concluded. What a masterpiece?
Like Robert Plant once said about Stairway to Heaven, "It was no longer ours and neither should it be." I feel this song is such an anthem to so many - an incredible legacy that is Led Zeppelin. Thank you to one of the greatest of all time.
When I was a child, here in Brazil, I woke up at dawn singing this song, in English...I was very curious...because it's not my language and I hadn't studied the English language yet. Finally, I received the codes... today, aware of my origin and destiny, in search of the constancy that will take me to meet Her, I am just grateful for the service and delivery of these talented beings, who certainly delivered what they promised and left their mark on planet Earth. Gratitude!
I'm sorry Rob.....it did get old. It was EVERYWHERE!! Took me 40 years to appreciate it again. I get Robert Plant. A time and place for everything. ROCK GODS!!!
I had a similar experience to this, yet I still forgive him after all the wrongdoings he did. "Always honor your father and mother" was what my grandmother said. My grandmother is very religious.
I am just 15 years old and I discovered this song and this band and I hope that in 40/50 years I will come back here and listen to this masterpiece again.
I was about your age when i was going through my parents old vinyl albums back in the late 80s early 90s and discovered this song with a lot of other incredible music like Pink Floyd and Iron Butterfly of course the Beatles. I think it is totally awesome that kids yalls age are rediscovering the great music your parents and grandparents listened. This is real music keep listening and finding new/old bands to like😊
@@sleepinglotus6247 Damn dude, how many more times? Don't act like a fool in the rain. Just wait for your celebration day, you'll find a whole lotta love and might ramble on from your heartbreaker. And don't forget to go over the hills and far away when the levee breaks. Go out on the tiles in the evening and have some custard pie. Thank you!

My dad always adored led zeppelin. He passed on his taste of music to me at a young age. Last Wednesday he passed away peacefully in his bed, surrounded by his family, and we played stairway to heaven. Miss you dad.
May he go on his stairway to heaven, I am truly sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I understand your loss, keep believing in yourself, you can do anything you want🙏 trust yourself 💙
Same here! Almost exactly the same which is weird. But my dad passed in 2012. It gets easier I promise, you’ll always miss him but the pain lessens with time 💕 stay strong
So sorry for your loss, Ben. It's very painful for some time, but step by step, day by day, you start to move on. You start to laugh and smile again. Like Mak said, it does get easier.
I'm turning 80 on my next birthday. I grew up with this music. Bings back a lot of really good memories.
as a young person its still good.
You have good music taste
I’m 22 and this is still one of my favorite songs
14 y/o here, this song is one of the best in my playlist(s) and will always be amazing.
Best times beautiful loving we had it all then
My sister was probably 15 when she bought the vinyl in the mid 70's and tragically passed away in 78'. My parents gave me her album and I love every song. Still listen to it on my record player.
Rest in peace
Bless her soul and may god bless yours.
Sorry for y[ur lost

My dad died of brain cancer last month. This was one of his favorite songs. We played it for him while in hospice. I'll miss you so much dad
Very sorry about your dad dude. Much respect to your family💙💙
@@Drtrongamersteam Thanks man
Very sorry for your loss.. ❤️
sorry for your loss man
I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. XXX
Growing up with an emotionally abusive father and a really dysfunctional family, this song literally saved my life. I first felt the twangs of the chords in elementary school when the middle school band came to play. I sensed so deeply that it delved into the deepest part of me. I didn't know what it was called but it spoke to me in a way that surpasses logic--this is the beauty of music. Whenever my abusive father would rage upstairs I retreated into the room under the basement stairway and listened to the lyrics as if the song was about me. Thank God it was a song of hope b/c I do not know how I would have survived a childhood so abusive, so lacking in love, so full of fear and anxiety. It has taken me a lifetime to overcome the trauma of my childhood --a childhood I would not have wished on anyone-- but that song is my swan song. It is a song of hope. Music is God's magic mushroom. The potion to heal broken hearts and broken souls. I was in love with Robert Plant! That love got me through an otherwise impossible adolescence. Yes, you always have two roads to go by. You always have a choice. Choose the one that leads to heaven, not hell.
Добра вам, прекрасный человек!!!
That guitar solo never fails to make me shed tears. It's the most beautiful piece of music ever created.

@@olijackson2800 I'm 16 and I feel the same way man! I'm glad our younger generations are listening to well made, well thought out music, moving music!
I'm a 2000's kid. I just discovered this song the other day. 70's and 80's music is so good

My Grandfather absolutely loved Led Zeppelin. Whenever me or my siblings were in the car with him and this song came on, he always told us that this was the greatest song of all time. He passed away 7 December 2021. Now every time I hear this song or any Zeppelin song, I'm convinced that he put it on for me. Rest easy, Grandpa. I'll keep getting the Led out for you.
I'm sorry your Grandpa had to go. It's so odd for me to know exactly what I was doing the day he died, but December 7th is my brother's birthday, and at one point in the morning that day I was sitting out back on the patio sending him a long, brotherly text. And I remember thinking that I never forget his birthday partly because it's also Pearl Harbor Day.
Now I will never forget that it's the day that Mitchell's Grandpa passed on. Kind thoughts to you, friend. Grandpa has climbed the stairway, huh?
As a grandpa myself, I can assure you too that he loved you and the others in a way that was multiplied even from how he loved his own children. Kids are great, but grandchildren are great+++ because as we (that's you too) get older and closer to the "stairway", we reflect more and more on the only way we can live on here on Earth...through you.
Peace.
In my house this masterpiece play now... Huge kiss from ITALIA
This is truly the one of the best songs ever written
My dad passed away December 2019 and when asked what his favorite song was, he said it was this. I come back here to feel close to him.
Не забывай своего дедушку. Светлая ему память. Я тожк очень люблю эту песню и исполнителей.
The great thing about long rock songs is, usually, it's not 8 long minutes of hard rock. It's a journey, a slow path up to the top, a song that takes the time not because it wants more rock, but because it NEEDS the time to have the proper buildup. Songs like this take their time because the crescendo wouldn't be the same without the slow, building melody that creates it.
In other words, you'll always need to build that stairway if you want to truly make it to heaven.
This comment needs to be seen by way more people. It's accurate, insightful, and applies perfectly to this song and songs just like it.
Wonderful comment here!!!Truly captures the essence of the song.
Mean it
Great music, nay all great art, is like great sex. Enjoy the journey instead of rushing to the destination.
This _contrast_ makes us appreciate the totality of the experience.

In March 1971 My girlfriend and I went to the Ulster Hall in Belfast to hear Led Zeppelin. That night they played this song for the first time and WE WERE THERE!! Didn't realise this at the time but we were among the first 1500 people to witness musical history.. Now married 53 years and counting.

My father passed away this month. He is the reason I listen to Led Zeppelin, and many other bands or artists still to this day, and this song will now forever remind me of him. He's one of the few people I look up to, and I appreciate him for persevering for as long as he did even though things kept getting worse and worse for him and I.

*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, 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
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 souls
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
Beautiful words

its always great to be open for new experiences (this doesnt only go for music)
You should start listening to a bunch of 70s music it’s amazing dude
Considering you weren't even alive during 9/11 yes you definitely missed out on a lot.
Rinzler101 give me some good ones man
i grew up on all rap some r&b all through high school my 20s i felt like all other music was trash etc in my early 30s started listing to rock etc smh now 40 still love rap but music like this is timeless.
I'm no drummer, I actually play guitar. But when I heard this song for the first time somewhere between 15 to 20 years ago, it was the DRUMS that got me into it. This is exactly the way rock should sound on drums: subtle but open and with lots of feeling and presence. Bohnam was huge! a true master of the art.

And from 5:34 to about 6:44 ladies and gentlemen is why Jimmy Page is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Lots of musicians can make a guitar talk, but only a select few can make it sing. That right there is a minute and ten seconds of pure bliss. Never gets old. Each time you hear it is like hearing it for the first time again. This is Zep’s magnum opus, and quite possibly the greatest rock song ever made.
As I’m replying to this comment I’m hearing that guitar solo for the first time. I’m just getting into Led Zeppelin and yeah this can’t be far from the truth.
One of the most beautiful Rock songs of all time.
This song literally, and i mean literally, sends shivers down my spine.
David Gilmour is the only other person I can think of that can make a guitar sing. Perhaps in a different way than Jimmy Page, though. Both are basically legends when it comes to that specific instrument at this point though
@@nayreel3529 My friend always says Jerry Garcia can make the guitar sing but I myself am not that big on the greatful dead so idk....I totally agree about David Gilmore though
When you break down the lyrcis it easyli the best song ever writen so mystical magical true
I was born in 2002, but my dad who grew up in the 80's and raised me on rock. When I was a kid I remember loving when led zeppelin or queen would come on and he would get really into it and drum on the steering wheel. And now when I listen to them, I not only appreciate the beautiful music, but also reflect on the good times I had with my dad as a kid, love you
"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, 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
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
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
Thanks mate!!

That's what happens when you create something immortal.
Jimmy told he got Orgasm listening to this when completed!
@@harshdeeparya6183 Wow.
The only song ever made that doesn't improve if you add double bass drums. The Masterpiece in music.
I agree bro. Absolutely one of the greatest jams of all time. A true fucking classic. God bless Jimmy Page
Ta gueule
Some day we will all return to the energy of the universe like your father. None of us will be forgotten, but also none will be remembered. We are both nothing, and everything simultaneously.
We are the instrument for the universe to understand and experience itself.
My late husband requested this to be played at his celebration of life. It was an honor to do so. Miss him and love him so much.
Rest in peace ✌️.
I'm so sorry 🙏 godbless
Não entendo o idioma, mas a melodia parece que é alguém está em sofrimento profundo em que sua alma está saindo do corpo e indo para um lugar escuro. É impressão que tenho da mensagem oculta que ela passa.
Habe es ,bei meinem bestorben Mann auch gespielt
Rest in peace, stay strong Amy, you got this.
My dad and me had a complicated relationship, all time arguing about dumb stuff, but music always did put us together. This was the song we played on his funeral 4 years ago. Time has been stopped for me since then. If you are reading this on a similar situation, i'm sorry for your loss. I miss you so much dad
YES my husband passed day before yesterday.....we are seniors...but the love of all this music...we had
my dad was a violent dick, I listened to this song, all songs by Led Z then and now to deal with the discomfort he gave my life
I'm sorry for both of your loss. I hope they rest in peace.
@@Cmon-Man I hope you can leave behind everything you've been through and live a comfortable life mister.
I lost my best friend to suicide. blew his brains out..at 80.....I was 39. we got on sooo well! had it been another time we would surely have got it together..I always loved this song but now it has extra meaning cos sometimes words have no meaning...I am sorry for your loss but remember we keep their spirit alive :) they are with us no matter what xx
As if this song is 50 years old '71-2021 its aged absolutely beautifully and to me it still feels like its ahead of its time even today. People have been inspired by its composition and it will be celebrated by future generations for another 50 years and more 🤘
oh didnt knew -_- sersa dafuk
@@aantoamvs5824 --__________-- bruh bruh bruh 😎 love we love ❤️
Well said ♥️
Play this song reversed and it shows you the satanism of freemasons
Too bad they chose to create a generic video for the song. I would have loved to see more clips of the band members when they were younger around the time this song was being created. Yea, I know they like to sell that type of stuff to fans, but this is an official video for one of their premier songs for godsakes. It should have top tier video footage to go along with the song.
This is timeless, one of the best songs from a great era of music. My son (38) has always envied the music my generation had in our youth.
Im 31 and play music like this and older music as well and there’s a lot more like me as well.
@@XRPDaddy888 I get that, but what my son envies is that it was what we grew up with as teenagers when we were young and carefree!
My papa listened to this song a lot, he was one of the people who raised me. I lost him a little over a year ago now due to a broken heart a month after my grandmother. My dad mentioned I should learn to play this on guitar to make him proud. I’m just a beginner, but I will. No doubt.
i am so sorry, i am sure you will learn perfectly to play this song, keep going man🙏🏻❤️
I am sure you will make him proud ❤️
You got this, play on, keep growing, make him proud
Its a simple, easy, beautiful, but easy song to play, i'm more than 100% sure you'll learn it in no time.
The Internet is rooting for you. You got this
Today, one year ago, my father passed away, he loved Led Zeppelin so much, he used to try and record it from the radio in the late 80' and got angry as the Moderator spoke.
I can't believe he's gone, but I listen to this music and he is with me, I feel it.
Your father had a great taste in music.. may he Rest In Peace
May he rest in peace man
@@kilogamingyt69 thank you so much
He's smiling at you from Heaven, Rest in Peace
The moderator always speak whenever the solo comes XD. May your father rest in peace.
I’m listening to this now, bc the man who taught me a love for beautiful music like this is in heaven now.

I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin. It wasn't until I was older that I came to understand the message in Stairway to Heaven. It is possibly the greatest song ever written; it altered the landscape of rock and roll. Written by Robert Plant, whose voice leads us on the journey through seamless instrumental brilliance that's both delicate and thunderous, he tells a story of materialism and spiritualism, of faith, doubt, and the eternal quest for something greater than ourselves. He invites us to seek enlightenment and spiritual fulfillment, but we can only get there together, in unity. Stunning.
There are songs that leave a mark on your soul and this is one of them, a total masterpiece!
Hello 👋🏼 Ruth Whittingham
Hello Ruth Whittingham. I’m Steven from Berlin Germany but i live in Kansas City Missouri how about you where are you from?
They just like your picture.
so true. im only 22 and I believe theres no other song that can compare.
@@whitey6317 I think it’s a real tribute to them that their music is enjoyed by people of your generation
This song has had a transcendent effect on MILLIONS, GENERATIONS, for 50 years and counting. It defined a generation, an era of tremendous musical talent, that many would try to emulate years later. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still being listened to hundreds of years from now such as the works of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. And now, Led Zeppelin joins that list. That's how much of a masterpiece this is! 🕊 Love.✌
Yes!!!!🏴
yes!
✨
We aren’t going to be here hundreds of years from now. Humanity is doomed.
Always.
I just listened to this song for THE first time ever- I’ve never heard anything more beautiful in my 19 yrs of living🥺
Wow thank you all for the support I didn’t expect the comment to blow up at all just trying to enjoy this amazing new genre of music!! **Update** I bought an electric guitar and I’m slowly learning the song!
Awesome
Welcome to the club :)
Oh, you lucky person. You have so much more pleasure to glean from it. Take it in.
Congratulation!
Bohiman rhapsody listen famous song like this
Each era claims its own timeless classics. The works of Mozart and Beethoven are celebrated not just as classical music, but as eternal masterpieces. Likewise, Stairway to Heaven transcends the label of classic rock; it embodies the depth, complexity, and emotional resonance of true classical music. It’s a modern symphony that has woven itself into the fabric of musical history-one of the defining classical pieces of our time
The best way to describe this music:
It's like drinking water in the middle of the night when you wake up thirsty.
waking up at 5 am before the sun rises to catch fish
getting to see your best friend after a long time
Drinking water right after waking up is disgusting. Something about the stagnant saliva in my mouth or whatever.
K-leb agreed

@@Level1Bear they did actually, I'm finally gonna be able to escape my mother for a few years and go to boarding school, I've never felt more relieved! Thank you for the support
This is not a song, it`s an anthem of Rock, performed by the Gods of Rock. I fell in love with this in 1971, at the age of 15 and here I am, 53 years later still very much in love with it. It will outlive us all. When the last star goes out, the last sound in the Universe will be Robert Plant, singing those final few words.
This is one of the best songs ever
And to think, these guys were in their early-mid 20's when they created this masterpiece of all time. Stunning.
actually every musical masterpiece was created by mainly people in their 20s - creativity goes bye bye as you age
They were heavily influenced by the Lord of the Rings, as they were huge fans of the books. You can hear hints of it in this song. 'In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, and the voices of those who stand looking.' The rings of smoke coming from Isengard as the Ents watch Saruman's forces cut down and burn the forest, including other Ents.
@@golddust872 you think?
It's such a great point. Look at the bands around then and the talent that just oozed from them and lasted for decades. I still have no idea how it's even possible. Oh yeah, this guy Jimmy popped over from band named the Birds or whatever. Where in the heck did he get his talent and ability the first day The Yardbirds played together. It is and always will be mind blowing. RIP JB
@@geraltofrivia2570 fr, just like the tunes the A Tribe Called Quest members and other hiphop acts such as De La Soul/The Roots created back in the 90's

Awesome, i was 8 when this song got aired for the first time. Notice that it begun on a very low note to touch our emotions slowly climbed to the highest note when it concluded. What a masterpiece?
Like Robert Plant once said about Stairway to Heaven, "It was no longer ours and neither should it be." I feel this song is such an anthem to so many - an incredible legacy that is Led Zeppelin. Thank you to one of the greatest of all time.
Hey if you like Led Zeppelin you should look up a band called The Doublejumps
I trust that we all are blessed by the time we have spent with others and that we keep them in our prayers. Go Ravens.

When I was a child, here in Brazil, I woke up at dawn singing this song, in English...I was very curious...because it's not my language and I hadn't studied the English language yet. Finally, I received the codes... today, aware of my origin and destiny, in search of the constancy that will take me to meet Her, I am just grateful for the service and delivery of these talented beings, who certainly delivered what they promised and left their mark on planet Earth. Gratitude!

Even though my father and I don't speak to each other, every time I listen to this music I remember him and how much I love him despite everything.
I had a similar experience to this, yet I still forgive him after all the wrongdoings he did. "Always honor your father and mother" was what my grandmother said. My grandmother is very religious.

I was about your age when i was going through my parents old vinyl albums back in the late 80s early 90s and discovered this song with a lot of other incredible music like Pink Floyd and Iron Butterfly of course the Beatles. I think it is totally awesome that kids yalls age are rediscovering the great music your parents and grandparents listened. This is real music keep listening and finding new/old bands to like😊
This is one of those very few songs that are so perfect that all you need to do is put it on full blast, lay back, and let the time pass by.
