Epic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/9/08 My favorite song of all-time... Epic is the only word that can describe it. I would also recommend the live version on Zep's live album "How the West Was Won." I like that one just as much as, and possibly more than the original. Awsome song | Reviewer: Dude who loves rock | 4/2/08 Dude this song is like one of the corner stones of rock songs that rock. Any one who likes this song is awsome and really who cares what the song means. As long as it rocks. Anyway the solo and the riff is just amazing i give props to jimmy and plant for creating one of the worlds best pieces of music ever! So listen very hard from now on if you look for hidden messages because they are every where. Peace dudes its awesome no matter what | Reviewer: VT hokiez 634 | 3/29/08 IDK exactly wat dis song menz, but it iz stil awsum. i HOPE dat dis iz a song about god and jesus, but only Robert Plant and Jimmy Paige can kno 4sho. wateva da mening, i think it iz stil a grat song, by da greatest band eva!!!! (No lie, Led Zep rox my sox!!! and it shud rok urz 2) Satanic Brew Ha HA | Reviewer: Jeremiah Roe | 2/29/08 Ok, My sister and I wrote that Anonymous Breakdown, which we were gonna call the "Opiunated Breakdown" Cause there is know fact to what we Wrote it is in fact our Opinuin! The Reason we were suposedly Anonymous was the computer kept goin' to page errors and crap. BOOOO Now before I throw down a few Quotes, I must say, I personaly belive the since Rock n' Roll was always said to be "THE DEVILS MUSIC", then maybe just maybe, Satan Was jealous that Rock n' Roll was being used a a way to send the message of god to the teenage youth at that time, so satan added that crap himself to keep parents from letting their children listen to Zeppelin. In the 70's there was a huge Hoopla about revers lyrics. (So to put it simply, Satan my have menipulated the words of Plant without Plant Realizing it. That Tricky Bastard Robert Plant addressed the issue in an interview with Musician magazine: "'Stairway To Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music. It's really sad. the first time I heard it was early in the morning when I was living at home, and I heard it on a news program. I was absolutely drained all day. I walked around, and I couldn't actually believe, I couldn't take people seriously who could come up with sketches like that. There are a lot of people who are making money there, and if that's the way they need to do it, then do it without my lyrics. I cherish them far too much." Robert and Jimmy wrote this in an old mansion called Headley Grange in Liphook Road, Headley, Hampshire, where Led Zeppelin recorded most of their 4th album. It was a huge, old, dusty mansion with no electricity but great acoustics. Bands would go there to get some privacy and focus on songwriting. One night, in front of a roaring fire, Page strummed the chords to this for Robert. Plant wrote 90% of the lyrics right there in front of the fire. He has said in many interviews that he didn't seem to be writing, that something else was moving his pencil for him. Feel Free to e-mail me! I rarely check my yahoo, so Myspace me, ( myspace.com/jbone22186 ) Disgusted | Reviewer: Mulvy | 3/1/08 I don't normally participate in online discussions about meanings of song lyrics but the comments I found on this site are insipid beyond belief; particularly the ones about biblical and Christian overtones. As most of you know the song was written by Plant and Page. Plant was, and probably still is heavily into the ancient European Pagan earth religions and mysticism and Jimmy Page was a practicing Thelemite. For those of you who don't know much about Thelema it’s a very eclectic Pagan cult with a heavy emphasis on personal development through occult means as espoused by Aleister Crowley. Therefore Stairway to Heaven being about exaltation of the Bible and Christianity is about as likely an interpretation as George W Bush exalting the Koran and Islam. If anything Stairway is about the futility of trying to buy one's way into heaven through good deeds and through donations to Churches, participating in masses etc. As for the precise interpretation of the song in detail, verse by verse; only Plant and Page will know what they were thinking. Like all good songs Stairway is about the universal not the particular and therefore there is a lot in the song which is deliberately left to interact with us on both a cerebral and visceral level; which by the way has nothing to do with 'revealed religions' which are actually the antithesis of that sort of thing. Satan | Reviewer: George | 2/28/08 I believe that Led Zeppelin does infact worship god, but the verse of this song where it sais if theres a russle in my hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, if you play it backwards it talks about worshiping satan, and it can't be just a coincidence, because it is in perfect english. This ties in with led zeppelin and his daughter because there are rumors he sold his soul to the devil. Collectors of Glitter | Reviewer: Deni' | 2/28/08 Sadly, our world is full of people who are collectors of glitter, which is blown here and there at the slightest breeze. To many, nothing seems real or believeable anymore ~ If not careful, they allow themselves to be blown here and there at the slightest sound of the winds of "change" ~ They stand looking and listening ~ believing if they will follow the piper all will become as one. The changes we want to see have to begin with us. We can become as a "rock that will not roll" at every new idea that may change with the wind ~ Breakdown | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/18/08 My brother and I think this song is about the road to Christ and not just taking the easy way out to get to heaven. It's about a woman who thinks that no matter what, everyting that looks good to her IS a good thing, but she's wrong. Life's not that simple. (I.E.) Cookies are delicious, but if you have too many, that one good thing will make you fat. (And I'm not saying the song is about cookies for all the idiots out there that don't understand symbolism.) The stores that are closed aren't literal. It's as though even if she feels like she can't find someone to talk to or communicate with, there is always Jesus. So she's trying to find the easiest way to heaven, hence "a" stairway. The sign on the wall is the words and the book of the Lord, but she wants to be sure what is written is the Truth. Because that beautiful voice of the songbird may be the manipulating voice of Satan. (Does that make you wonder?) So when you realize where you've been heading isn't the right way, you begin to think about how to get back without falling back into your old ways or with the people who took you there. But if you listen to Jesus, he will lead you back to where you need to be: Eternal Happiness. So if you do slip up and find yourself back on the old ways, don't worry, just have faith and pray and Jesus (the piper) will lead you back to the right path. It's never too late. Whether it's early in life or on your deathbed, there is no time limit. So if you find yourself falling behind, and you hear a voice inside yourself trying to tell you to catch up, that's Jesus calling you back to him. So the woman realizes that not all the answers are obvious, but they're there right in front of you. Like the wind. You can't see it, but it's right there in front of you. So as we walk through life with our sins and burdens weighing us down, God is always there to help shed them and light the way. (The "lady we all know" is NOT the lady buying the stairway, she is GOD. Some people refer to God as a she.) And GOD wants to us to know that even the things in life that might seem dull and unappealling, really aren't. They are important in the walk with GOD. Like going to church, or work, or school, or turning in that wallet filled with money you found in the mall, because doing the things that are good and help you succeed in life are GOLD! So if you "listen very hard", you will realize that GOD is there for you with faith. That no matter what sins were committed or how bad something you did was, you are his child and he loves you. As long as you accept Christ as your savior, none of the sins of your past will matter, even if you don't realize that until you're on your deathbed. When all of us are in heaven together we will all be happy. Utopia. The tune is Christ. So "to be a rock and not to roll" could be to be solid in faith and not to wander. Or to know of GOD, but not have a realtionship with HIM. It's up to you on which this sentence takes meaning, because sometimes words have two. And so now the woman realizes this. She is not buying any stairway to heaven, she is buying THE stairway to heaven, because there is only ONE way to get there. For those of you who aren't particularly religous, he's still there for you as well. Even if you're bying (passing) the stairway to heaven, HE will always love you until your dying day.
