In a tree by the brook, there’s a songbird who sings ‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings There’s a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure She chooses to ignore this, because she wants to see for herself, as she has seen things to be not as they seem in the past. However, this woman’s life is telling her as blatantly as if there were a sign on the wall that her pursuit of riches and materialism will offer her nothing in the afterlife. We can see that the woman Plant sings about is quite accustomed to having things done her way, as he suggests that after she buys her way into heaven, the stores there will open their doors for her well after closing time because she is just that special. Ooh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven First verse to “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. With a word she can get what she came for When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold It all begins with the first verse, sung over gentle guitar work by the mastermind Jimmy Page: Jimmy Page live with Led Zeppelin, 1970. He relies heavily on metaphors to get his meaning across, and the song winds up with an overarching theme about finding a spiritual grounding within life, rather than hoping for salvation in death. The song runs over 8 minutes in length and features Plant’s signature vague, poetic songwriting style. Penned by Robert Plant, the lyrics to “Stairway to Heaven” that begins as a critique on an overly materialistic society, suggesting that spending your entire life collecting material possessions is a fruitless endeavor, as it won’t get you to heaven, and you can’t use any of it when you get there, anyway. You’d be hard-pressed to find somebody who hasn’t heard this song, and everybody has their opinions on it as well as its meaning. Still, the song became a mainstay on rock radio and still reaches many, many people today. Surprisingly, “Stairway to Heaven” was never a hit on the charts, as it was never released as a single. The track appeared on the band’s famous untitled album released in 1971, often referred to as Led Zeppelin IV (this is also the album where the Led Zeppelin symbols originated). Love it or hate it, Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” is one of the most popular rock songs of all time. * E+ is an E augmented chord.Led Zeppelin live in 1971.
