This song makes me cry. It was my Dad & my momz anthem together. They've both past on and all of my siblings. It's now just me and my precious memories
I'm standing here next to my dad who just passes away about an hour ago. This song came to my mind because as the sun rose the rays came thru the window so bright the nurse came and said she'd never seen it so bright in any of the rooms. She looked at me and said im sorry your dad has passed. I know now why it was so bright in here. God had opened the pathway for him to cross over into Heaven today 8/9/2022 1 day after his 83rd Bday. Love you always dad.. Sidney Beckom R.I.P.
I grew up on this song, my mother who passed in 2016, used to play it over and over back in early 80's. And I'm 61 now. She was 74 when she passed. I miss her too.
Sometimes a song can mean EXACTLY what helps a person get through their rough, happy, or experience they are facing at that time.( It's not going to change the meaning from the person who wrote the song) Sometimes we just have to let people have their moment of getting through.I have really had an experience reading the difference meaning of you all and it was amazing. Have a peaceful day to all of you.
My son was recently shot and killed in cold blood the day he passed away I was in the children's unit of the hospital and this song kept playing in my head. Ik that my son was taken for now reason but ik God was calling my baby home 😭😭😭😭😭 rih my prince Derrick Jr 04-20-2023
This song is not about death. It’s about passion, ecstasy. He loves her so much that she takes him to paradise. But I can see where it can be interpreted in a different way. Because it doesn’t matter what song Eddie sings. He will take you to church y’all…. So I guess that it is open for interpretation, and discussion. This is what makes it a great song. And this is what makes The O’Jays The Mighty O’Jays. Let’s give them their flowers now y’all.🙏🏾
Yes, yes, and yes, there was truly so much beautiful music from so many amazing people, but especially from black artist.. I mean music like this will NEVER get old to the soul... just brilliant. I mean just think of the song writing from the 60s to 80s from all those artist... and no curse words needed. Again brilliant...
I lost my sister today. The queen who helped mold me into the man I am today! I love you Irene...say hello to our loved ones in heaven and know that the next time we meet, I will have praised your name and built a legacy for you along the way. Everything I do from here on out is in your name!
My mother passed a few weeks ago and this was one of her all time favorites. As I listen to it now I'm fighting tears. I feel so alone without her. I wish I could hear her voice or see her smile one more time.
My dad passed away 7 days ago. My siblings and i drive to work in the morning playing this song and we all are crying. We miss our dad so so much. I never felt such pain ever in my life. We were raised with this music by our parents and it hurts so much when one listen to one of my dads favourites song. We love you forever daddy. Doesn't matter how old we are. This will forever stay with us.
My mom took me to my 1st concert which was the O'jays. She passed February 25,2024 and as mothers day is tomorrow I can only cry and listen to the O'jays and wish she was still here 😢❤ love you forever 9/24/42-2/25/24
Your make it sweetie 😘 This is just a step you gonna have to take, and Guess what I will be on one of those steps with you until it comes on God's timing be blessed
😢❤I lost alot of close relatives who play this song so much when I was growing up so I understand to pain and the memories❤❤❤you are not alone sweetheart sweetheart
God please look after the ones who lost someone who touch there hearts I pray you give them the strength they need to heal from their loss 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪🏾. 2024!
I love this song so much. I listened to it all the time. It helps me go the pain I'm dealing with. I've had MS for 16 years and I'm still going. That is because God is here with me 😇
God bless you. I pray for a complete healing of every cell and bone, every muscle and nerve in your body in the powerful name of Jesus! So mote it be. Amen
I've had MS since I was in my late twenties ,signs were showing up when I was a young child. Music gets me through it. My big brother got me started with music It's my go to when things get rough it does'nt take my problems away but it helps me even if just for a little while, I love this song.
Eddie Levert could sing from the very bottom of his emotions to the very top, and his voice expressed that. One of the finest and most enduring artists ever to grace the music industry. GREAT music !
When my Dad past away above his head was this bright light leading on to the other side only my daughter and I could see this the tears! I miss you Mom and Dad!!
I love Philadelphia International Records one of the best songs of all time Gamble & Huff were the best songwriters ever creating a sound that will reflect with the times in the 70s and beyond I love Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Billy Paul, Teddy Pendergrass, The Mighty O'Jays, The Three Degrees, The Jacksons, The Trammps, The Stylistics, Blue Magic, The Delfonics, The Spinners, The Intruders, William De Vaughn, Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls and lots more too!!! Stairway to Heaven by The Mighty O'Jays is a brilliant masterpiece and timeless songs with Gamble & Huff their songs will never be the same!!! They don't make good songs like this anymore!!! Thank you so so much O'Jays God bless you!!!!! Peace and love 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
My twin brother passed away 15 years ago, and the morning on my way to the funeral home for the funeral, this song came on the radio. As I listened to the words many tears came from my eyes, and I thought, my brother is walking up the stairs to heaven. I'll never forget that morning!
so glad you found something to comfort you - I cannot even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you - you are in my thoughts, especially when I listen to this gorgeous track
Wow…I randomly came across this song & it reminded me of my dad. I lost him the day after Father’s Day this year. He got me into all the great oldies such as this one. Miss you pop!🖤
Lost my uncle and my cousin the way they loved this song makes my eyes drop tears everytime but i know god works in his own way they in a better place even tho the tears wont stop cause they were pillars in my life i thank god ❤for the time he gave me with them
Is it crazy to say I’m not here because someone died. I came to this song cause it’s been playing over and over in my head and I believe it’s talking about the blessings that I have been manifesting. It’s coming step by step 🙏🏼🫶🏼 I pray everyone that’s here due to grief receive the healing they need 🙏🏼
Agree. I was listening to some Ojays and this came on. I was fine until I read the comments. I never been brought to tears from a UA-cam comment section before.
The old Jay's will always be loved and remembered for all of there's music they were and still is legend for all the good work they have done I Pray & Hope that our (Lord) Jesus continue to bless them always Love 4 ever & ever 😂😂😊😊
@Sallys TightField Hello to each its own, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to their thoughts. You are entitled to your own thoughts just like I am! If thats what you get from the song then that's what YOU get. I DONT GET THAT FROM THIS SONG AT ALL!!!!
@Sallys TightField Exactly fine because I,ME, I said I literally said cant NOONE tell me the meaning of anything. I take what I want to take from anything and make my own decisions and choices about things. And I don't get or take anything sexual from the song. With that being said you have a blessed, safe, great day love!!!
@Sallys TightField "ampersand " ! Sex is a good thing whenever it's consensual ; "let's get together boo!" Normally, i think when people die, those left behind have a tendency to engage in "dat" activity ! "Hit me up" . . .
Just lost my mom and as devastated as I am...her love of music that she passed on to me will be what gets me through. I love you mom, forever and always.❤😪😥
For he who has ears to listen let them hear what a spirit has to say always remember chapt 22revelation bless you all in Jesus name glory be to God just a voice crying in the wilderness
My 10 y.o grandson asked for this as his song choice. It speaks volumes. He's had a good loving environment; but his mother treats him poorly for no reason. He has to witness his younger brother get preferential treatment and still he's his protector. You couldn't ask für a better big brother despite the incredible lack of concern from his mom. That's where his aunt, great grandparents and myself give him the attention, love and care he needs. I was flooded with tears when I his aunt told me he requested this song. The same day, his mother spitefully removed him and his brother from our home where he knew he was secure and safe. Pray for him, them and US!! My next step is get him back. My daughter, his mother has no stable home other than the one she chose to leave. It touched me too deeply. That's the fire I need to put all my energies into getting them to a safe haven again.
My prayers are with you! I know how you feel! I face the same thing! And I haven’t been able to see my grandsons for a while now! But I know God has his hands of protection over all their lives! Much love and prayers to you!
Listen closely..."It's gonna be a lovely way to spend the evening..." This song is not about death and transitioning. It is a love song, speaking of a man and a woman finding the ultimate pleasure and heavenly bliss in one another. IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BALLAD EVER CREATED!
This song is about making love being an analogy for heaven. BUT we certainly feel a spiritual connection to the song because the OJays deliver it in such a masterful way. Plus it's one of those songs that helps define the Black American experience. I love the nostalgia AND I love the use of heaven as a metaphor for making love. THE MIGHTY OJAYS🔥🔥🔥
No words but this song often speaks to me as a person who has loss so many people in my life including my dad. Not to mention being a former foster child, life just hurts at times and seems so unfair. #GriefHurts 🥀😢💔
As a Elder, woman of God I can relate. I tell you the Most High God is real and will give you the desires of your heart by faith. Be blessed dear heart.
Y’all, this song is about SEX!!! But I guess you can make it mean what you want it too!! As a child, I thought it was spiritual referring to the gates of Heaven but as I got older I realized it’s about climaxing!! 😮
amo su música , los escucho casi todos los días , tengo 32 años pero siento que he nacido en esa época desde la perdida de mi madre siento que no vuelto hacer el mismo, ya un año y de alguna forma escucho esto cierro los ojos y siento que esta a mi lado , de alguna manera puedo sentir regocijo
I cry and smile everytime I listen to O'Jays.Ngiba mama mix motion.They remind me of my uncle who died in a road accident in 1999 I'm still hurting though.
I was about seventeen when all this great music came out young and in love this great music makes me Reminisce those were the good old simple days those days are now gone. People knew how to party and have fun.
I didn't realize a "Couple Forevers" sampled the background music. I can certainly hear it. Beautiful song and arrangement. No wonder we're drawn to certain music 🎶
Brought tears to my eyes I can imagine I've experienced that bright light with my baby sister 2016 I remember so vividly as if was yesterday ❤ but I can say she made to see Jesus 🙏🏽✝️💜 for herself to God be the glory
The O'Jays is by far one of my favorite groups very powerful lyrics Here We Go climbing the stairway to heaven here we go walking the road to ecstasy taking the load of this old world off our shoulders the doors wide open for you the door is open for me wow..
GOD IS SOOOOO GOOOD AND HE LOVES HIS CHILDREN HE ALWAYS LET YOU KNOW HE IS THERE FOR US AND THAT HE SEES WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH YOU WILL BE OK GOD'S GOT YOUR BACK
People lyrics can mean different things than what the songwriter intended. There's many songs that put a spiritual meaning to it. If it gives people comfort then let the be. Stop being so literal with song lyrics and narrow-minded. I love the song.
To everyone struggling with the “lost” of a loved one, smile and remember all the good memories you’ve had with them. Please don’t be sad yet REJOICE in the transition of life! 🌅 The circle of life is VERY real. Ever experienced something that made you think of someone? Ever smell something that made you think of your grandmother? Light flicker in your house? Or even more, ever meet someone that reminded you of someone you just couldn’t put your finger on it? Children with old soul? THE CIRCLE OF LIFE love. They are with us! Cry but enjoy their presence in your life everyday. Then, now, forever more 💜
One of my favorite R&B memories from college days. The O'Jays will always have something that will never be duplicated. The current crop of singers just haven't lived what we lived and they are mere artifacts of their parents who catered to their every want and need. Long live the 70's!!!
I hear you! Ojay's for days at CSULB dorms. Yes, the 70's, nothong like them. Thanking God for those precious, precious memories and days.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💝💝💝🌈✨️🎶🎶
Its incredibly lucky, that we were here on this earth when this timeless music came out. Thank God for the TSOP . Nowadays the new generation has nothing to fall back into. So sad, for them. !!!
It's one way to heaven . I truly enjoyed every word if it's an inspiration to start my day Glory Hallelujah thank you I'll be listening to this album throughout the day.

So very very for loss , how are you doing these days?
Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family!! One day you will see him again and what a glorious day that will be!!
This song is not about death. It’s about passion, ecstasy. He loves her so much that she takes him to paradise. But I can see where it can be interpreted in a different way. Because it doesn’t matter what song Eddie sings. He will take you to church y’all….
So I guess that it is open for interpretation, and discussion. This is what makes it a great song. And this is what makes The O’Jays The Mighty O’Jays.
Let’s give them their flowers now y’all.🙏🏾
Yes u are totally right
Just saw them last night in New Orleans and wish they'd sung this song ❤
I honestly don't think music today will ever touch the feel and composition of the music from yesterday. Just a pure perfection!!!

Any update 😢I hope you got your young kings back
Yes back in the day ❤love it
Listen closely..."It's gonna be a lovely way to spend the evening..." This song is not about death and transitioning. It is a love song, speaking of a man and a woman finding the ultimate pleasure and heavenly bliss in one another. IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BALLAD EVER CREATED!
AMEN Sister, that was very well said by you and may GOD always be by your side!!!!!
God's morning 🙏🏽Always loved this song 😊😉
I was in the army when this was released. It is my all time favorite song bar none.
And your right, that’s what it’s about love, something so hard to find, ❤
It's about sex and too many people don't get that
Happy Birthday My Sweet Rose Carter 🌹

You Left This World 🌎 💔 So Fast.....
Fly High Beautiful
She is flying high. You already know
This song is a masterpiece
Word up.
This song just hits the soul just right
Real easy yess
You really have to be "ole" school to know the symbolism of this song. But whatever interpretation, it is timeless.❤
This song is about making love being an analogy for heaven. BUT we certainly feel a spiritual connection to the song because the OJays deliver it in such a masterful way. Plus it's one of those songs that helps define the Black American experience. I love the nostalgia AND I love the use of heaven as a metaphor for making love. THE MIGHTY OJAYS🔥🔥🔥
They had some good musicians. Too bad most people that love the O'Jays don't know the band members.
Amen amen amen father God
Peace
Yesss
Bravo 💪
No words but this song often speaks to me as a person who has loss so many people in my life including my dad. Not to mention being a former foster child, life just hurts at times and seems so unfair. #GriefHurts 🥀😢💔
Missing Tom, Dad and so many of my friends that was Taken ways by Cancer
As a Elder, woman of God I can relate. I tell you the Most High God is real and will give you the desires of your heart by faith. Be blessed dear heart.
I totally agree, me being a foster child
❤️
You are not alone my Brother, be encouraged.
Lord have mercy,for love is in heaven for you and me
The arrangement is otherworldly bliss!! Love it
@@maddcapper4548 talking about the arrangement of the instruments not the meaning of the song.
Word.
Y’all, this song is about SEX!!! But I guess you can make it mean what you want it too!! As a child, I thought it was spiritual referring to the gates of Heaven but as I got older I realized it’s about climaxing!! 😮
Those arrangers and producers at TSOP, knew exactly what they were doing. !!!
@@nrod5336 no ma'am, The writer is referring to Wedded bliss....
amo su música , los escucho casi todos los días , tengo 32 años pero siento que he nacido en esa época
desde la perdida de mi madre siento que no vuelto hacer el mismo, ya un año y de alguna forma escucho esto cierro los ojos y siento que esta a mi lado , de alguna manera puedo sentir regocijo
This is the first time I have ever heard this song and I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Me too, first time... But then again, I love The O'Jays 🎶❤️🎶❤️
@@TheCaulfield1 I’ve been hearing it since 2009
what's the name of the rock you've been living under😂
LOL!
@@dmohine6159 no rock, just young😍 from a seasoned woman, love that you 🥰 love it
I cry and smile everytime I listen to O'Jays.Ngiba mama mix motion.They remind me of my uncle who died in a road accident in 1999 I'm still hurting though.
THANK YOU. I keep telling people that this song is not to be played at funerals.
I was about seventeen when all this great music came out young and in love this great music makes me Reminisce those were the good old simple days those days are now gone. People knew how to party and have fun.
One of the most glorious songs ever⭐⭐⭐
What have I been doing so wrong all these years to just now discover the O`Jays. Love this! so glad to have found them.
I didn't realize a "Couple Forevers" sampled the background music. I can certainly hear it. Beautiful song and arrangement. No wonder we're drawn to certain music 🎶
Brought tears to my eyes I can imagine I've experienced that bright light with my baby sister 2016 I remember so vividly as if was yesterday ❤ but I can say she made to see Jesus 🙏🏽✝️💜 for herself to God be the glory
They captured the times of our life.
The O'Jays is by far one of my favorite groups very powerful lyrics Here We Go climbing the stairway to heaven here we go walking the road to ecstasy taking the load of this old world off our shoulders the doors wide open for you the door is open for me wow..
Yup!!! Sharing love away from the cares of this world!!!
That is one of my favorite songs from the O'Jays ❤❤❤
This is one of my best artists. I fell in love with the mighty Ojays in 1983.❤🎉
❤ RITE ONE OF MAINS TO N I WANTS BORN YET LOL
I WAS BORN TILL 87
Just found out my friend is dying and this magically from God started playing on my playlist?? Absolutely chills and tears started!!
GOD IS SOOOOO GOOOD AND HE LOVES HIS CHILDREN HE ALWAYS LET YOU KNOW HE IS THERE FOR US AND THAT HE SEES WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH YOU WILL BE OK GOD'S GOT YOUR BACK
No coincidences
People lyrics can mean different things than what the songwriter intended. There's many songs that put a spiritual meaning to it. If it gives people comfort then let the be. Stop being so literal with song lyrics and narrow-minded. I love the song.
Jesus saves ❤. Reminds me of good times with my family.
Jesus is a false god sista.
To everyone struggling with the “lost” of a loved one, smile and remember all the good memories you’ve had with them. Please don’t be sad yet REJOICE in the transition of life! 🌅
The circle of life is VERY real. Ever experienced something that made you think of someone? Ever smell something that made you think of your grandmother? Light flicker in your house? Or even more, ever meet someone that reminded you of someone you just couldn’t put your finger on it? Children with old soul? THE CIRCLE OF LIFE love.
They are with us! Cry but enjoy their presence in your life everyday. Then, now, forever more 💜
they played this at my grandma funeral and mannn this gets me every time
Same rip grandma
🙏🏾🙏🏾
They played a song about sex at her funeral? I question your church's morals
@@Iknowyoumadnow 😂😂😂
😢😢
The old school is everything still going strong
One of my favorite R&B memories from college days. The O'Jays will always have something that will never be duplicated. The current crop of singers just haven't lived what we lived and they are mere artifacts of their parents who catered to their every want and need. Long live the 70's!!!
I hear you! Ojay's for days at CSULB dorms. Yes, the 70's, nothong like them. Thanking God for those precious, precious memories and days.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💝💝💝🌈✨️🎶🎶
Its incredibly lucky, that we were here on this earth when this timeless music came out. Thank God for the TSOP . Nowadays the new generation has nothing to fall back into.
So sad, for them. !!!
It's one way to heaven . I truly enjoyed every word if it's an inspiration to start my day Glory Hallelujah thank you I'll be listening to this album throughout the day.
Man.. This Song!!! This Album!!! And this cover is by far one of the most beautiful pieces of cover art work, Ever!
Masterpiece
Remember when album covers were works of Art
@@beatricewoods8377 that was when the albums were works of art.. with heart and soul.
this is a cover song?
@@jordynsimmons1107 No, i was referring to the album cover.
Almost a year this month, my mama left us. This song was on repeat. I LOVE her and miss her much.😥🙏🙏💋🌹
Lord help me 🙏🏽 this was my grandmother favorite song. Listening to this song, I can still hear my grandma singing this. I miss her so much 💔🕊
Still the little girl with the Raggedy Ann doll after all these years. Love has no color. Your music brought me up.Thank you from my heart.
Simply timeless soulful music!!!❤
I know I’m not the only one listening to this in 2020 ❤️

This song played today as I finished the last step of my dad's estate. Miss you dad 2/25/24. Walking around heaven all day. Lulu
Stairway To Heaven . . How I wish I could see my brother again, I would climb those stairs! The pain is so immense .... But God! Rest easy Linwood "Romeo" Richardson #neverforgotten #tears
A song is about what you or someone else interprets it to be that's what art is from artists
I appreciate them for making music like this. And thank God for blessing them with the gifts to make these..
Don't feel glad the word says "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.... I lost my son when he was only 18 years old he was such a good son and so very person all the old people just loved him be encouraged ❤️❤️❤️
Someone needs to hear this. It takes a long time to heal. It's been over 25 years still.......healing. m May GOD bless all of us.
Wish music like this could come back and take me to the good ole days.

One of my favorite groups of all time. Started knowing them at eleven years.
I’m 23 my dad died from cancer when I was 19 I still cry every time I hear it we buried him to this very song because it was his favorite
To me this song represents going on a journey with that special person and climbing the many levels of LOVE ❤
I could feel this as I read it! It’s perhaps the most beautiful and important thing I’ve read today!!! My heart goes out to you and your family.
