Ok, so, you've found the Golden song of rock. Now, it's time to introduce yourself to HEART, if you haven't already. CRAZY ON YOU will rock your world But, their version of Stairway at the Kennedy Center will 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 your sweet heads. I love ❣️ what you're doing and ❣️❣️ watching you be Moved by Music, the universal language. Stay safe and stoic.
This song was played at the funeral of one of my Dad’s friends who died unexpectedly at 33. It was raining outside, but when the guitar solo started the sun came out and there was a rainbow. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life
67 year old dude coming at you to say I really dig young people's reactions to my generation's music. Led Zeppelin was truly one of the greatest bands back in the day. Keep on enjoying as you embark on this musical journey. Each time you do you're traveling back in time like you're in a time machine. Peace!
It’s my Dad’s Gen & he introduced me to many classics & gave me an appreciation for different types of music. I love discovering classics on my own & discussing it with him. Sometimes we have different reactions, usually based on the our personal life history. It’s part of what makes art like this transcend time. It’s always a joy to see new people discover great music
Lucas Varela don’t be that way. Young people listening to different genres should be encouraged. These guys seem to genuinely appreciate the fans and their journey through music.
i agree with you....our generation had some of the best music ever.....70 yrs old here and i have started watching the young people listening to the old tunes and loving their reactions to the music....their grooving to our tunes. LOVE IT!
I taught mine she knows them all these 2 need a biggervspace lol i love this stuff some are so cliless like what he playsvthevdrums to phil collins Wow vthevare truly awakebthe have a longnway to go HA HAB🎉
Love their innocence, this is what music is all about. Watching them experience it for the first time gave me the same feeling as when I first heard it 40+ years ago. Beautiful.
Hey guys! This 63 year old white dude has probably heard that song a thousand times before you were born, and you helped me consider the lyrics from perspectives I'd never thought of! Great reaction! Love you guys!
As a couple of old Hippies, WE LOVE YOU! Your reactions to these classics are heart warming and downright funny! I would strongly suggest, that you watch a live performance of this song AND Dazed and Confused from the movie The song remains the same.. Not only do they have raw musical talent. Their showmanship is equally wonderful! Thank you for restoring my faith in the young people of this fantastic planet!
right so. some songs are just playing in the bg maybe in the radio. Or on a podcast playlist. But for gen z to deeply listen to the good old songs like Chris and Rheasia is something I'd never miss to watch.
Don't try to hard to interpret. Here's what Robert Plant said: "its abstraction... Depending on what day it is, I still interpret the song a different way - and I wrote the lyrics."
Your explanation makes sense to me. I personally experience what Robert Plant described. I interpret the words to the song differently at times. The way she is buying her stairway, the coin she is using, varies.
You know, this really proves that truly good music transcends all generations and ethnicities!! I mean if we all loved this song back on the 70's, why wouldn't young people today love it as well?
For me the Song speaks of two different women. The woman mentioned in the beginning of the song "who knows (believes) that All That Glitters is Gold" symbolizes the materialist path and the woman at the end of the song "who shines white light and wants to show that everything still turns to gold" is the spiritual path and the song is saying there's still time to change the road you're on.
indeed she can show you the way to be a 'rock' and not to 'roll'. ie live your life with solid foundations of truth and harmony with the earth and you will be rewarded as opposed to buying artificial enlightenment, (weed and others), and trying to 'roll' your way into heaven and blowing 'rings of smoke' only to have your path wisped away on the whispering wind.
I would give my left arm to go back in time and be able to experience all the great 60's, 70's, and 80's bands like the people did that lived during those times. Sabbath, The Doors, LZ, Rolling Stones, Clapton...just to name an extremely small amount of bands I'd love to hear back when they first came out. Easily the three best decades for music...although I really love the 90's too.
It's funny but it's so off, she's rich and thinks she can buy her way into heaven. She thinks that the power that money conferred to her on Earth can buy her divinity. A gold digger just wants the money of others.
I just discovered you two today and I absolutely love you both. ❤️❤️ I’m 65 and saw LZ 4 times live. Once in the front row. I think that was 1974 and my ticket cost around $25. Those were the days of rock & roll. ❤️
yeah but in a way i totally believe it... it goes to the greatness of the song. it could be 100 or 500 years old and this song will always stand strong
Man it warms my heart to see young people looking back at the talent that was the 50's, 60's, and 70's. From Mo Town to Rock and Roll there is a whole World to discover. In those days all those rock groups didn't just sing, they wrote the songs, wrote the music, played the instruments, mixed the recordings, and even drove the damn bus to the shows. There was no bull shit "auto-tune" like today. Those people had talent, and they were deep into their style and had intellect. The songs tell amazing stories, and have deeper hidden meaning than any of the stuff today. Awesome response to this stuff you guys... LOVE IT!
Hey. I'm 66 years old. I first heard this when I was in high school. I must have heard it 1000 times and it STILL brings chills and a tear to my eye. I loved watching your reactions while knowing what was still to come. As for the meaning of the lyrics, like everything musical, the meaning is whatever you get from it. There are no wrong answers. The "whistle" you mentioned is actually a "Recorder" - looks a bit like a clarinet but with no keys - just little holes. Glad to have stumbled on your vid. A joy to watch. The next best thing to hearing music is sharing it. Stay well.
Same here. I am about your same age. I actually never liked that song all that much at the time. Thought it was overproduced and a rip-off from Taurus (by Spirit). Zep was well-known to rip things off from people and not give them credit. But, as I was listening to this song, I felt the same way you did, e.g. knowing that drum break was coming, and knowing THEY didn't know that. It's a pretty dramatic break, for sure. I'd like to see them react to something by Cream, say Crossroads, or maybe even Toad, or a live version of Sunshine of Your Love. We had some outstanding music in our day for sure.
They absolutely do, though! You just gotta find it! Nightwish is musically and lyrically a masterpiece factory, and they're still going strong after more than 25 years now! Just released an incredible album this year, in fact!
Everybody thinks their generations music is the best. I love this song and many others from this era, but there are bands every bit and more talented now. They're just all underground bands because mainstream labels want to keep people dumbed down so they only push trash. But the real talent is in the independent scene.
@@TheJokesterSCR It's definitely better than today's main stream music. 70s 80s 90s were the absolute BEST in my opinion. And I do agree underground music is better in today's time BUT I will say nothing can touch the variety of these 3 decades.
Y’all crack me up! I love how you both intensely listen to each note and each word. I love it when you get so excited about songs I’ve loved for years. You’ve interpreted songs I’ve been listening to for a lifetime and never really knew what they were about. It’s really cool you can appreciate music that was made before you were born and outside your preferred genre. Thank you! You both are lots of fun!
For me, the singer is like a bard. He's telling us about a woman that tried to buy her way to Heaven. She didn't make it so her Heaven lies on the whispering wind. It's a cautionary tale.
It's about a woman who thinks that she can get whatever she wants because she is rich. The man singing is saying that he hates that about society. People thinking that they are better because they have something that someone else doesn't.
When this album came out my Grandmother bought it....thinking it was a Christian album...😄. The next time we came to visit she says “This isn’t what I thought it was”....so she gave it to us!! We were THRILLED to have it.
I'm 66 years old,played drums in rock bands 70's 80s. I played alot of the rock you guys are listening to. It's very exciting to see people enjoy this music as I did years ago. Keep it up! You two are awsome!!
This song is literally banned from being played in guitar stores so it don’t become overplayed and also it just sounds too good they hear the shit 100 times a day
So much joy watching your concert of 2! Dave Grohl said the great thing about music is that you can sing a song to 85,000 people and they will sing it back to you for 85,000 different reasons. The song is about anything you think it is!
Sounds like alchemy to me (gold references), and about an organisation ("she"), trying to use the secret Word to cheat their way into heaven, like the "queen of heaven" allegedly did. Also references to Lucifer ("the piper") and to "Jacob's ladder", and to the golden dawn. Obviously Aleister Crowley fans. Easy peasy..
@@jazzyboy7784 I don't see why it couldn't be interpreted that way too ("sometimes words have two meanings"), especially when you hear the "rings of smoke" part, which might sound like someone smoking something, but it turns out that rings of smoke over forests is an occult symbol that means that witchcraft is being practiced or something similar to that (at least so I read), like the one you see on the album cover, which would give a hint about the background and the intention behind at least that album. It is common for artists to make dual-meaning songs, so I assume the drug interpretation could be the exoteric one, and the one about the "secret" society (it's never been a secret that it exists) looking to be "like gods" (the alchemical allegory of turning something into gold) the esoteric one, because they were big fans of Aleister Crowley, and this song is filled with symbolism that reflects his beliefs.
One of my favourites!!! You got the meaning in a way Chris. The woman represents a society that is arrogant and materialistic. She believes she can buy anything, including her entry to Heaven. I would love for you guys to hang with this little old lady sometime and share an appreciation of some great tunes from my era
I'm 57 and getting a kick watching both of your reactions. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, and I hope to see more of your videos to LZ. In the meantime, put the first album on, drop the needle into the groove, and listen.
Agree. I love this song because it's beautiful and draws you completely in, and then about halfway through, it's like they look at each other and think, "Wait, have we been Rock Gods yet? We should probably get on that..." and the song picks up from there.
If you like S.I.B.L.Y....I highly recommend a version from LA in 1977 known as the Badge Holders version. Here is a link to the song and it includes the full 3 hour concert which is considered one of the best they ever did and even has a surprise appearance by a very drunk Kieth Moon 29:18
I learned how to play this on guitar except for the solo. It was just to hard. I always wanted to learn how t o play it. Its one of the hardest solos ever in rock and roll.
I haven't seen a reaction like this, it kind of reminds me of when us older people first heard it on the radio. We were like "what kind of magic is this?".
Lee Fithian sorry, but you mistakenly believe that sound systems back in the early 70’s were primitive when in fact most people had better sounding systems in the 70’s then the compressed digital music most people listen to today.
Ah , not ignorant , just pointing out that the tech today ( not the fucking iPod) can reproduce sound much the same as an 8K OLED monitor against a 480 resolution black n white tube television can reproduce films from that era , it’s fine that you appreciate , as do I what a good stereo back then did for lifting skirts
Not a gold digger, it's a picture of all of us trying to make it through life and find truth and we can make it into goodness if we change the road we're on. You guys are awesome. 67 year old here. Probably listened to this song hours and hours in my whole life. Peace!
I love their energy and willingness to be open to new things , and their desire to learn something new and unfamiliar ..and to really decipher the lyrics , not just focus on the sound alone....An epic video. Well done. Always keep an open mind ...And also , understand the deeper and hidden meaning behind everything..
I first heard this song at age 14 when it came out. I understood the Stairway to Heaven to be drugs, probably LSD or shrooms. All my friends thought the same thing. "Your head is hummin and it won't go..." This song came out when Tolkien's Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books became very popular with teenage readers, and the strings/recorders(whistle/flute sounds), and lyrics fed into the fantasy vibe.
My interpretation has always been that the "heaven" of being rich is an illusion, and the true heaven is the other path, toward being one with nature and humanity, more or less in line with the teachings of Buddha. Jimmy Page is a follower of mysticism and spirituality, so it makes sense. Of course, even Robert Plant said the song was open to multiple interpretations.
I like your reaction to one of my all time favourite songs of all time. I have a little story to share about Stairway to heaven, My Grandfather had put me through Royal conservatory classical piano as a child, I did fairly well but learned more contemporary music as I aged the one I can still play from heart is Stairway to heaven, although it doesn’t sound as rocked out as Led Zeppelin’s masterpiece it is still quite lengthy and has all the varying parts and tempos. My Grandfather had sadly been fighting various cancers and had not been given long to live he had decided to die at his home which he had built surrounded by his family instead of in the hospital hooked up to machines and alone, on the day I went to see him he was resting in the room with the piano I had played on since a child so I played him the only song I could remember by heart which happened to be Stairway to heaven, I was blessed to be able to remember and play for the Man who had allowed me that opportunity and every time I hear that song now it means something so much different to me,truly bought that stairway to heaven and it was worth all the gold.
@@nicholasratliff1734 "There are two paths you can go down" - the woman is ignoring the song's message and still trying to buy happiness. "Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?" To me the song is about (and part of) a spiritual path that is open to all who look for it. The woman represents the popular belief that happiness comes from material things.
Absolutely love these kids appreciating what we grew up with. Not saying there are no talented artists anymore, but this was old school. People coming together, playing instruments with a passion and writing meaningful songs. With The Led it just all comes together.
I think there are still plenty of talented musicians. It’s just that the music industry has changed. Everything needs to be a hit. There is no room for the really great deep tracks that we had. There are no concept albums anymore. It’s all singles. If you don’t produce commercial hits, you get dropped from the label. The good music is out there, it’s just hard to find
In this song, "heaven" is happiness and fulfillment. She thought that a life of wealth, material possessions and influence was the way to happiness. But money can't buy "heaven". The "piper" (God) is calling her to follow a different path. The singers says it's never too late to change from the road you're on. The lady FOLLOWS the singer on the other path. And as they "wind on down the road". The winding road of the righteous. They see a lady "we all know". The lady is HER! She shines white light. The light of TRUTH. She wants to show them the truth of how to get to "heaven". The truth is "All Are One, And One Is All". All are part of God and God is in everyone of us. The path to heaven is to be a ROCK in this truth. Not to roll with whatever fate throws your way. To stand firm in this truth ("To be a rock and not to roll). That's why the song ends "...and she's buying a stairway to heaven". She didn't buy it by chasing what she was in the beginning, she "bought" it by accepting The Truth. She made a winding journey through the forest of life until she accepted the Truth.
Crystal Lanagan...this song ain't about drugs! That's just stupid. I've heard the guys in the band talk about these lyrics for years....it never had anything to do with that subject. And Plant would have said so already if that were true. 🙄
I subscribed, and what I like about you guys is that 1. You appreciate musical skill and craftsmanship, and 2. You two look like you're really having fun together. You guys are an awesome couple, and that fun rubs off and I have a good time watching you two interact and appreciating stuff that I grew up with. Awesome, you two!
Young folks like you discovering this music that has been such an important part of my life for decades makes it all new again! Thank you! Much respect! Much love!
This is English culture ,the May Queen is when the May tree comes into flower! the hedgerow is just in bud after the winter, so the hedgerow has been cleared of the old life ,flowers ,leaves, this is reference to leaving the old life! not hanging on to the past ,then you become the May Queen ,in Christianity the spotless bride,the May Queen was also a young woman, who is crowned in the estimation of the people from the local area , who represents beauty, particularly the attributes of what the month of May brings,so your sister? would be May queen.
My generation of music. In 1973, this song was always popular for the last song of the after school sock hop. It’s wonderful to see new generations appreciate what real rock is. The incredible music which came out of the 1960s, 70s, 80s will live on.
Watching someone listening to Stairway for the first time is one of life's pleasures. Beautiful....Thank you....Tom (as mentioned by a few others...earphones are a must)
This song is so important that I can vividly remember the first time I heard it. It was 1986, I was 4. Standing up (!!!!) in the passenger seat of my dad's car while he was driving somewhere. Didn't know it then, but that moment helped shape who I am today. Zepplin is still my favorite. Welcome to the club.
It warms my heart to see brothers and sisters listening to these types of songs and genre. God bless both of you. Love your channel. Check us out sometime Peace !
Your channel is one to enjoy reaction videos the most you two dig right into the roots of rock and roll and understanding the lyrics of they mean and how the transitioning of songs change, it’s amazing for you guys to get right into it and it just puts a smile on my face to see you are enjoying it. Love you both to death. Keep bringing in more rock songs there’s more to come.
I'm a middle aged white guy and grew up on this music. Between my two older brothers and my father..well everyday was like a concert at my home ad a kid, lol. Most young people today don't try "new" things not look to the past to learn or enjoy what had come before their time, let alone feel inspired to create their own art. That being said I LOVE YOU GUYS. I stumbled on your video of listening to Queen. I enjoyed you guys so much I watched another video. Then another. Then another. Keep up the great work. Stairway to Heaven is about a woman (actually anyone) who is searching for happiness. Her "heaven" if you will, but is looking for it through materialistic ways "all that glitters is gold..". I agree with you about the two roads, however the point of the last verse is (in my opinion) until we can love one another...learn from one another...live with one another...actually look to each other as our heavenly siblings (way I was raised) we will never find our stairway to heaven.
I actually literally love you both! Your vibe to the music is beautiful and with each other is magical. Love and all of God's blessings to you both! Wish you were close by and could be some of my people❤
@@Sutton585 oh, gee. Your so edgy. If you listen to spirit yourself, if sounds like 4,000 other songs that decade. Stairway is unique in the chord progressions and build up. The court agreed. Go bother someone else.
Well I'm 65 and I never could figure out what this song means (plus it's soooo boring). It does sound like she's a golddigger. It really is just a bunch of gibberish for fame, like so much of Jim Morrison's music.
The most amazing thing is he wrote these lyrics in one day and it is widely considered the greatest rock song in history! And the song is definitely about drugs.
You guys are playing the music of my generation, a time when there was so much different and innovative music. I still listen from that period every week and enjoy it as much now as before. Glad to see your enjoyment and enthusiasm and open mind to music from generations past. I'm "moving a groovin" with you. You guys compliment one another. Stay together in mind and spirit wherever your different paths may lead.

Lyrics aside, this song is truly a masterpiece of music. And it just builds and builds and it's just so god damn good

Watching you guys, I kept saying, "Just wait, just wait..."
Me too!
Lol CAN'T WAIT FOR IT LOL
Yep
Same exact thought
Same. 😀😀😀
When we first heard that song back in the day we knew we were standing in the shadows of history and greatness.
I would give my left arm to go back in time and be able to experience all the great 60's, 70's, and 80's bands like the people did that lived during those times. Sabbath, The Doors, LZ, Rolling Stones, Clapton...just to name an extremely small amount of bands I'd love to hear back when they first came out. Easily the three best decades for music...although I really love the 90's too.
And we were higher than a kite. 😂
Every year KZOK 102.5 in Seattle does a countdown of top 100 rock songs, and Stairway to Heaven has taken #1 every year for 50 years.
I might start calling them "Led Zeppelean" from now on.
Cracked me up! I love their reactions to all the phenomenal music that we are familiar with.
Not

It's funny but it's so off, she's rich and thinks she can buy her way into heaven. She thinks that the power that money conferred to her on Earth can buy her divinity. A gold digger just wants the money of others.

"If this ain't a vibe, what is?" Absolutely perfect. Welcome to the experience that is Led Zeppelin💜✌💜
Man it warms my heart to see young people looking back at the talent that was the 50's, 60's, and 70's. From Mo Town to Rock and Roll there is a whole World to discover. In those days all those rock groups didn't just sing, they wrote the songs, wrote the music, played the instruments, mixed the recordings, and even drove the damn bus to the shows. There was no bull shit "auto-tune" like today. Those people had talent, and they were deep into their style and had intellect. The songs tell amazing stories, and have deeper hidden meaning than any of the stuff today. Awesome response to this stuff you guys... LOVE IT!
First released in 1971 and still as fresh today as it was then, you never get tired of this masterpiece it takes you to another dimension.
Ya'll really need to get headphones. The whole musical experience will be greatly enhanced.
Or a very loud system achieves the same thing
And a J ☺️

Hey. I'm 66 years old. I first heard this when I was in high school. I must have heard it 1000 times and it STILL brings chills and a tear to my eye. I loved watching your reactions while knowing what was still to come. As for the meaning of the lyrics, like everything musical, the meaning is whatever you get from it. There are no wrong answers. The "whistle" you mentioned is actually a "Recorder" - looks a bit like a clarinet but with no keys - just little holes. Glad to have stumbled on your vid. A joy to watch. The next best thing to hearing music is sharing it. Stay well.
Same here. I am about your same age. I actually never liked that song all that much at the time. Thought it was overproduced and a rip-off from Taurus (by Spirit). Zep was well-known to rip things off from people and not give them credit. But, as I was listening to this song, I felt the same way you did, e.g. knowing that drum break was coming, and knowing THEY didn't know that. It's a pretty dramatic break, for sure. I'd like to see them react to something by Cream, say Crossroads, or maybe even Toad, or a live version of Sunshine of Your Love. We had some outstanding music in our day for sure.
🤘
It's the only recorded instance of a Recorder sounding good.
They don't make music like this anymore. I grew up during the best days for music!
The best music era of all time.
They absolutely do, though! You just gotta find it! Nightwish is musically and lyrically a masterpiece factory, and they're still going strong after more than 25 years now! Just released an incredible album this year, in fact!
Everybody thinks their generations music is the best. I love this song and many others from this era, but there are bands every bit and more talented now. They're just all underground bands because mainstream labels want to keep people dumbed down so they only push trash. But the real talent is in the independent scene.
@@TheJokesterSCR
It's definitely better than today's main stream music. 70s 80s 90s were the absolute BEST in my opinion. And I do agree underground music is better in today's time BUT I will say nothing can touch the variety of these 3 decades.
@@carmenmonroe7 Nah
Y’all crack me up! I love how you both intensely listen to each note and each word. I love it when you get so excited about songs I’ve loved for years. You’ve interpreted songs I’ve been listening to for a lifetime and never really knew what they were about. It’s really cool you can appreciate music that was made before you were born and outside your preferred genre. Thank you! You both are lots of fun!
I've listen to this song hundreds of times and it still giving me goosebumps.♥️
For me, the singer is like a bard. He's telling us about a woman that tried to buy her way to Heaven. She didn't make it so her Heaven lies on the whispering wind. It's a cautionary tale.
Deep
But seriously there are generations of bards who cry everytime this song is heard. It's like the magnum opus of the craft.
You're right. I never knew the meaning. The only way to Heaven is through the grace of God and one's obedience to His commands.
@@davidpost428 wrong... It's what jesus said
It's about a woman who thinks that she can get whatever she wants because she is rich. The man singing is saying that he hates that about society. People thinking that they are better because they have something that someone else doesn't.
The whole time I was thinking, wait until they get to the last verse 😂
Stairway To Heaven is one of the crown jewels of rock n roll, and should be on everyone's top 10 list...If it isn't, then listen again!
When this album came out my Grandmother bought it....thinking it was a Christian album...😄. The next time we came to visit she says “This isn’t what I thought it was”....so she gave it to us!! We were THRILLED to have it.
Lol
My mom had a similar experience with a Marilyn Manson album.
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO!!!!!
Brilliant!!! :-D
You have discovered why they are called "The Hammer of The Gods"
Ha. Immigrant Song! Peace Mike. Stay safe.
Wtf, no one call em that way
I am in my 50s and i never thought i would see so many kids rockin out like this. Damn! Love it. Rock on yall
I'm 66 years old,played drums in rock bands 70's 80s. I played alot of the rock you guys are listening to. It's very exciting to see people enjoy this music as I did years ago. Keep it up! You two are awsome!!
This song climbs its own stairway to musical heaven, one step at a time; through instruments and vocals !!
This song is literally banned from being played in guitar stores so it don’t become overplayed and also it just sounds too good they hear the shit 100 times a day
Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham were all unique talents. This song was their masterpiece. RIP John Bonham.
So much joy watching your concert of 2!
Dave Grohl said the great thing about music is that you can sing a song to 85,000 people and they will sing it back to you for 85,000 different reasons.
The song is about anything you think it is!
Well said!
Brother, I'm in my mid-70's and I'm digging their vibe!
These bands were famous for a reason..... still 50 plus years later
I love how you pronounced it “Led Zippa lean” 😂 love watching yall!!
I thought that was a drug for severe lower back pain ?
😂😂😂 yeah
I love the way he pronounces it! He's got his own unique style. I like it. 👍
Bunch of Goofies
I dunno, Zeppelin is a German word after all, and the way Chris says it is pretty close to a proper German pronunciation.
If you can interpret. Contact Robert Plant. He's still trying to figure out the meaning to Stairway to Heaven.
Sounds like alchemy to me (gold references), and about an organisation ("she"), trying to use the secret Word to cheat their way into heaven, like the "queen of heaven" allegedly did. Also references to Lucifer ("the piper") and to "Jacob's ladder", and to the golden dawn. Obviously Aleister Crowley fans. Easy peasy..
I think they figured it out. To be a rock and not to roll
I always thought it's was about buying drugs and overdosing...but wtf do I know...lol.
Lol
@@jazzyboy7784 I don't see why it couldn't be interpreted that way too ("sometimes words have two meanings"), especially when you hear the "rings of smoke" part, which might sound like someone smoking something, but it turns out that rings of smoke over forests is an occult symbol that means that witchcraft is being practiced or something similar to that (at least so I read), like the one you see on the album cover, which would give a hint about the background and the intention behind at least that album.
It is common for artists to make dual-meaning songs, so I assume the drug interpretation could be the exoteric one, and the one about the "secret" society (it's never been a secret that it exists) looking to be "like gods" (the alchemical allegory of turning something into gold) the esoteric one, because they were big fans of Aleister Crowley, and this song is filled with symbolism that reflects his beliefs.
One of my favourites!!!
You got the meaning in a way Chris. The woman represents a society that is arrogant and materialistic. She believes she can buy anything, including her entry to Heaven.
I would love for you guys to hang with this little old lady sometime and share an appreciation of some great tunes from my era
I'm 57 and getting a kick watching both of your reactions. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, and I hope to see more of your videos to LZ. In the meantime, put the first album on, drop the needle into the groove, and listen.
DWGraham thebarber Zeppelin 4.
There is no other like them
With earphones. Over the ear not the stupid in ear buds.
You know they are too young to know what drop a needle means Lmfao.
@@andrewheaton4715 dropping his needle in the groove has a completely different meaning to them.
“If you try to discredit this band then your mind is probably in hell” is maybe the most legit thing I’ve ever heard.
When the change up was coming I was like "mind blown in...3...2...1..."
Me too! I was waiting for their reactions!!!
It was Beautiful to Behold 🥰
Agree. I love this song because it's beautiful and draws you completely in, and then about halfway through, it's like they look at each other and think, "Wait, have we been Rock Gods yet? We should probably get on that..." and the song picks up from there.
Yeah that was fun! :)
I am sitting here being a bit smug knowing they are going to be very surprised with how it goes.
I requested this song (and Free Bird) to be played at my husband’s funeral. I still tear up hearing it.
“Since I’ve Been Loving You” is my favorite Zep song.
“You Shook Me” will melt your eardrums.
Achilles Last Stand too.
If you like S.I.B.L.Y....I highly recommend a version from LA in 1977 known as the Badge Holders version. Here is a link to the song and it includes the full 3 hour concert which is considered one of the best they ever did and even has a surprise appearance by a very drunk Kieth Moon 29:18
Good Times Bad Times for that classic Zep!!! And they would probably dig the lyrics being some young folks.
Thanks !
Spot on especially the live version
You’re accidentally turning into hippies during the song. Maybe that Woodstock arm waving just goes with zeppelin 😂
@Scorpio Way I hope they discover Lynyrd Skynyrd, especially a long live version of "Free Bird".
You guys are adorable. When I was a teenager every guy I knew that could hold a guitar learned how to play this.
I learned how to play this on guitar except for the solo. It was just to hard. I always wanted to learn how t o play it. Its one of the hardest solos ever in rock and roll.
I play guitar and in a music store it's considered one of the forbidden riffs
@Tiger Tamer exactly lol. Ive been playing 10 years and still don't know it. Its pretty yeah but people act like that's as good as guitar gets.
I grew up with this song, it is so amazing to be able to witness someone else discover and enjoy music that I grew up with. Thanks for posting❤️!
zakk19777 yes indeed, it is a cardinal sin to play it in record shops.
LOVE watching you two hearing this....music to stir the soul. FABULOUS ❤
I haven't seen a reaction like this, it kind of reminds me of when us older people first heard it on the radio. We were like "what kind of magic is this?".
you misspelled 'sorcery'
The sound systems available were quite primitive , which made the live performances much more memorable
Exactly
Lee Fithian sorry, but you mistakenly believe that sound systems back in the early 70’s were primitive when in fact most people had better sounding systems in the 70’s then the compressed digital music most people listen to today.
Ah , not ignorant , just pointing out that the tech today ( not the fucking iPod) can reproduce sound much the same as an 8K OLED monitor against a 480 resolution black n white tube television can reproduce films from that era , it’s fine that you appreciate , as do I what a good stereo back then did for lifting skirts
You guys should listen to Fleetwood Mac “The Chain”
Yes,fabulous song
They ain’t ready 😂
Led Zeppeleen😂
yeah i dont which band that is
Lol. It’s funny when people think it’s the name of the singer too.
Chris Tea People think “Led Zeppelin” is the singer?
@@Sinnbad21 isn't that her name?
RJ Meza lol on second thought I think it is
Not a gold digger, it's a picture of all of us trying to make it through life and find truth and we can make it into goodness if we change the road we're on.
You guys are awesome. 67 year old here. Probably listened to this song hours and hours in my whole life.
Peace!
She has a point about materialism - I see the song about materialism vs spiritualism
You need to react to the legendary Jimi Hendrix- "All Along The Watchtower"
The Great God of rock guitar.
Bob Dylan*
G 333 nah they got it right the first time
Yeeees
G 333 Dylan is the original artist & created art. Hendrix made it a masterpiece
In an interview with Jimmy Page, he said Robert Plant wrote 80% of lyrics while listening to the melody for the first time.
I love their energy and willingness to be open to new things , and their desire to learn something new and unfamiliar ..and to really decipher the lyrics , not just focus on the sound alone....An epic video. Well done. Always keep an open mind ...And also , understand the deeper and hidden meaning behind everything..
I first heard this song at age 14 when it came out. I understood the Stairway to Heaven to be drugs, probably LSD or shrooms. All my friends thought the same thing. "Your head is hummin and it won't go..."
This song came out when Tolkien's Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books became very popular with teenage readers, and the strings/recorders(whistle/flute sounds), and lyrics fed into the fantasy vibe.
Since you guys like this song check out HEART doing "Stairway to Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors. You'll be blown away!!!
Yeah, when you make Robert Plant tear up....that's magic!
right? the power in her voice still. just amazing
That choir, the guitarist, Bonham's son on drums, Plant's tears, Annie belting, stoic tuxedos in crowd rocking out...the BEST!
That performance made me wonder why kid rock was even there lol
Tim ... Heart’s performance was delicious! Gonna go listen again. Thanks!
My interpretation has always been that the "heaven" of being rich is an illusion, and the true heaven is the other path, toward being one with nature and humanity, more or less in line with the teachings of Buddha. Jimmy Page is a follower of mysticism and spirituality, so it makes sense. Of course, even Robert Plant said the song was open to multiple interpretations.
Same man. I think that get's pretty clear if you think about the Tolkien references in the lyrics.
Jimmy Page is a satanist.
@@svetknot9271 Shut up.
@@WrenTheGrey it is true.
I'm a Buddhist and I think you are right 🙏🖤🤘🔥
It's incredible to think that this song is nearly 50 years old. (It'll be fifty next year!) It'll last as long as recorded music exists.
I like your reaction to one of my all time favourite songs of all time. I have a little story to share about Stairway to heaven, My Grandfather had put me through Royal conservatory classical piano as a child, I did fairly well but learned more contemporary music as I aged the one I can still play from heart is Stairway to heaven, although it doesn’t sound as rocked out as Led Zeppelin’s masterpiece it is still quite lengthy and has all the varying parts and tempos. My Grandfather had sadly been fighting various cancers and had not been given long to live he had decided to die at his home which he had built surrounded by his family instead of in the hospital hooked up to machines and alone, on the day I went to see him he was resting in the room with the piano I had played on since a child so I played him the only song I could remember by heart which happened to be Stairway to heaven, I was blessed to be able to remember and play for the Man who had allowed me that opportunity and every time I hear that song now it means something so much different to me,truly bought that stairway to heaven and it was worth all the gold.
“If this ain’t a vibe then what isn’t?” Best description of Stairway. Love you guys. NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN Moody Blues long version.
Yeah ! Night's in White Satin..awesome heart felt long ! One of my favorites !!
yep great song. I was named after the lead singer Justin Hayward.
If it wouldn’t be blocked do Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds and Strawberry Fields Forever
Justin DeArmond The lead singer for Led Zeppelin is Robert Plant!! Your mom and dad played u for a fool!!! LOL
Always a favorite. Often misunderstood, but this song is about the spiritual path.
I thought it’s about dropping two hits of acid at a 12th grade party and listening to this song seven times on headphones. But what do I know.
@@Patsy_Parisi shrooms...
Plant said it was about a woman getting everything she wanted and not giving anything back
@@nicholasratliff1734 "There are two paths you can go down" - the woman is ignoring the song's message and still trying to buy happiness. "Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?" To me the song is about (and part of) a spiritual path that is open to all who look for it. The woman represents the popular belief that happiness comes from material things.
I love how universally disarming the beginning riff is. It's puts funk on the face of all who Listen, whoever the are.
Absolutely love these kids appreciating what we grew up with. Not saying there are no talented artists anymore, but this was old school. People coming together, playing instruments with a passion and writing meaningful songs. With The Led it just all comes together.
I think there are still plenty of talented musicians. It’s just that the music industry has changed. Everything needs to be a hit. There is no room for the really great deep tracks that we had. There are no concept albums anymore. It’s all singles. If you don’t produce commercial hits, you get dropped from the label. The good music is out there, it’s just hard to find
I have heard this dozens of times and it always stirs my soul.
In this song, "heaven" is happiness and fulfillment. She thought that a life of wealth, material possessions and influence was the way to happiness. But money can't buy "heaven". The "piper" (God) is calling her to follow a different path. The singers says it's never too late to change from the road you're on. The lady FOLLOWS the singer on the other path. And as they "wind on down the road". The winding road of the righteous. They see a lady "we all know". The lady is HER! She shines white light. The light of TRUTH. She wants to show them the truth of how to get to "heaven". The truth is "All Are One, And One Is All". All are part of God and God is in everyone of us. The path to heaven is to be a ROCK in this truth. Not to roll with whatever fate throws your way. To stand firm in this truth ("To be a rock and not to roll). That's why the song ends "...and she's buying a stairway to heaven". She didn't buy it by chasing what she was in the beginning, she "bought" it by accepting The Truth. She made a winding journey through the forest of life until she accepted the Truth.
well said
This song is about drugs. She thought by doing drugs she was in heaven. A lot of these older songs like this is all about drugs.
I thought the piper was temptation, in reference to the folktale. Here's someone who is trying to lead you astray.
Crystal Lanagan...this song ain't about drugs! That's just stupid. I've heard the guys in the band talk about these lyrics for years....it never had anything to do with that subject.
And Plant would have said so already if that were true. 🙄
beautiful
I just like the reactions when “that” part of the song comes in. Led Zeppelin isn’t just music, it’s an experience, it’s a whole damn mood
I subscribed, and what I like about you guys is that 1. You appreciate musical skill and craftsmanship, and 2. You two look like you're really having fun together. You guys are an awesome couple, and that fun rubs off and I have a good time watching you two interact and appreciating stuff that I grew up with. Awesome, you two!
Led Zeppelin - Going to California. Best song hands down. And When the Levee Breaks. Do a whole Led Zeppelin rabbit hole guys. You won't regret it
Rain Song is 🔥 🎵
They also need to know that copious amounts of drugs were involved, on both sides! Music makers and listeners alike 😂😂😂
Going to California kills me every time I hear it. Love it so much!
Young folks like you discovering this music that has been such an important part of my life for decades makes it all new again! Thank you! Much respect! Much love!
This is English culture ,the May Queen is when the May tree comes into flower! the hedgerow is just in bud after the winter, so the hedgerow has been cleared of the old life ,flowers ,leaves, this is reference to leaving the old life! not hanging on to the past ,then you become the May Queen ,in Christianity the spotless bride,the May Queen was also a young woman, who is crowned in the estimation of the people from the local area , who represents beauty, particularly the attributes of what the month of May brings,so your sister? would be May queen.
My generation of music. In 1973, this song was always popular for the last song of the after school sock hop. It’s wonderful to see new generations appreciate what real rock is. The incredible music which came out of the 1960s, 70s, 80s will live on.
Watching someone listening to Stairway for the first time is one of life's pleasures. Beautiful....Thank you....Tom (as mentioned by a few others...earphones are a must)
This song is so important that I can vividly remember the first time I heard it. It was 1986, I was 4. Standing up (!!!!) in the passenger seat of my dad's car while he was driving somewhere. Didn't know it then, but that moment helped shape who I am today. Zepplin is still my favorite. Welcome to the club.
It warms my heart to see brothers and sisters listening to these types of songs and genre. God bless both of you. Love your channel. Check us out sometime Peace !
I don’t think they’re related
Bless you to friend, from Canada
@G King lmaooo
Your channel is one to enjoy reaction videos the most you two dig right into the roots of rock and roll and understanding the lyrics of they mean and how the transitioning of songs change, it’s amazing for you guys to get right into it and it just puts a smile on my face to see you are enjoying it. Love you both to death. Keep bringing in more rock songs there’s more to come.
Agreed
you two are highly intelligent. the young lady can be a world famous model
This is probably the most played song in rock history. Spent decades (literally) on the charts. The all time winner.
On the radio it seems to win every year for best rock song around here
Jimmy Page, the guitarist and founder of the band, called their sound "whispering to the thunder."
I'm a middle aged white guy and grew up on this music. Between my two older brothers and my father..well everyday was like a concert at my home ad a kid, lol. Most young people today don't try "new" things not look to the past to learn or enjoy what had come before their time, let alone feel inspired to create their own art. That being said I LOVE YOU GUYS. I stumbled on your video of listening to Queen. I enjoyed you guys so much I watched another video. Then another. Then another. Keep up the great work. Stairway to Heaven is about a woman (actually anyone) who is searching for happiness. Her "heaven" if you will, but is looking for it through materialistic ways "all that glitters is gold..". I agree with you about the two roads, however the point of the last verse is (in my opinion) until we can love one another...learn from one another...live with one another...actually look to each other as our heavenly siblings (way I was raised) we will never find our stairway to heaven.
I actually literally love you both! Your vibe to the music is beautiful and with each other is magical. Love and all of God's blessings to you both! Wish you were close by and could be some of my people❤
I honestly hope you kids enjoy what you’re hearing. Rock, pop, rap I don’t care. There maybe hope for our young generation. Y’all are 🔥

I started choking on my orange juice when he said, "She's a gold digger".
dumb asses
I started laughing because because it just proves that all songs are poetry and anything and everything is up for interpretation
Well I'm 65 and I never could figure out what this song means (plus it's soooo boring). It does sound like she's a golddigger. It really is just a bunch of gibberish for fame, like so much of Jim Morrison's music.
As good of an interpretation as any other!!
"She" is a drug..... or can be interpreted as addiction ;)
I'm 62 yrs ole, female, and you both just made my day!!!
This is the best damn reaction video I have ever seen. You two are awesome! Much thanks!
You guys have the souls of the hippies when this song was released in the early 70s. You would have fit right in lol. I loved your reactions.
The most amazing thing is he wrote these lyrics in one day and it is widely considered the greatest rock song in history! And the song is definitely about drugs.
You guys are playing the music of my generation, a time when there was so much different and innovative music. I still listen from that period every week and enjoy it as much now as before. Glad to see your enjoyment and enthusiasm and open mind to music from generations past. I'm "moving a groovin" with you. You guys compliment one another. Stay together in mind and spirit wherever your different paths may lead.
