I grew up with led zeppelin, best rock band ever ! This is a song of hope !
The most amazing band ever! Magnificent live!
Greatest rock band there ever was.
Your reaction to this great band and this great song is/was perfect. It´s hard to put words to how good it is.
GREATEST BAND DOING THE GREATEST SONG EVER!
That “Drummer” is the greatest blues/rock drummer of all time. After he died in 80, the band could not go on anymore!
I came of age in the 1970's and to see two generations later appreciate the greatest time for music is my new passion. Hang on tight the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole is extremely deep! It will be a worthwhile journey to take thou because no two songs replicate another.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🎸
This is an iconic song, glad you reacted to it
They are even better live. The greats are, and they are the GOATS! PERIOD!
best band ever doing 1 of the best versions of 1 of the best songs ever written!
Buckle your seatbelt LADY!!! Your gonna go on a
Led Zeppelin emotional
rollercoaster ride.
Robert also plays a mean harmonica!! Greatest voice too! Each are the greatest musician with their instruments. And JPJ plays strings...mandolin...bass and keyboards. They are magnificent!
beautiful song that builds to a climax and then boom.......then peacefully lets you bask in the glory
Great reaction. Keep the Led Zep coming, they have so many amazing songs, spanning many different genres.
Thank you🙏🏼 & I definitely will👌🏻
Many genres including the blues lyrics and melodies that they plaigarized and tried to call their own.
@@Mister_Pedantic yes they did that a few times and settled the lawsuits. Take away those songs and they still have 40 or so amazing songs and would still be one of if not the best rock bands ever.
Take away those so call plaigarizing songs and nobody would have heard of them.
@@garrya4304 There's nothing "so call" [sic] about it. They did it and it wasn't an accident.
Stairway to Heaven is a pure gem, a masterpiece especially the live version❤️whenever I listen to that (as well as some other songs) I have a feeling as if Robert was telling a story instead of singing - lots of gestures and this mesmerizing smile😉Stairway to Heaven was not my top Zepp song but the live version I can watch for ages💕what's great about Led Zeppelin that they never performed songs in the same way - they improvised a lot and I love it. Have a look at Jimmy. In this performance he's talking to the guitar, he's in other world - not on stage🎸Oh my goodness....How not to love them💕I appreciate yout reaction the same as the previous ones. Robert Plant has a great range of his voice scale. Keep doing more, don't stop. You're now in a Zeppelin hole❤️
Yess I noticed him talking to the guitar too, he definitely was in the zone👌🏻thank you so much for watching & supporting🙏🏼& yea, I’m definitely in deep😁🎸
@@journeymariereacts 🔥🎸🥁🎤
think of it in a spiritual context !
Probably the greatest song ever recorded. Welcome to the wonderful world of Zeppelin!
The wonderful thing about this song and many songs is we each have our own interpretations of songs. That is the real beauty of music.
You really get it
Despite being a "Rock God" Robert Plant is generous with stage time and seems to genuinely enjoy giving other musicians their time in the spotlight while he stands off the side and listens. He does the same with his solo bands, giving other members their times to shine while literally relegating himself to the shadows.
So its said that Robert Plant wrote the lyrics in ine sitting listening to Jimmy Page (the guitarist) play the tune. He had a burst if inspiration. He said he was in a particular bad mood and in a dark plave and the firsy verse essentially wrote itself. Hes never been clear on the full mesbing but he said it was written for a different time and was his ideas and story of hope in a dark place. Ive always felt the song is telling multiple stories.
Go Bonzo!!!
Great reaction: I really like your reactions and appreciation for different genre legends. I always interpreted this song to be an allegory for people (in this case the woman) thinking that it's never too late to buy their way into heaven. For me, though, it was always the instrumental genius and Robert Plant's soulful voice that drew me to the song, as with most of the band's songs.
You seem to enjoy Blues Rock (Rock-n-Soul) and this band has an endless supply of it. Along with "Stairway to Heaven", the song "Kashmir" is one of their more famous songs. It's been sampled by rappers, most notably Diddy in his song/video "Come With Me" featuring Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. A stunning video, as I mentioned before, is when the band performed "Kashmir" while in their 60s, in the year 2007 at their "Celebration Day" concert. The original drummer, who died in 1980, was replaced by his son who went absolutely nuts on the drums. It was insane to see these guys perform 40 years after their start and lose nothing. In 2013 or so, then President Obama selected them for so-called "Kennedy Center Honors" and the female band "Heart" (Led Zeppelin's peers) along with the original drummer's son, an entire choir and a full orchestra paid tribute to them by performing "Stairway to Heaven." Both of these are other insane legendary live performances you could react to.
Good luck with your channel. I'm sure it will take off.
Thank you so much for the continued support🙏🏼 I definitely have found a new genre I love with zeppelin & will definitely be checking out your recommendations asap👌🏻😊
Going to go see Robert Plant and Alison Krause on August 13, 2024 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver! Can't wait!! ❤🤘
“The meaning of "Stairway to Heaven"
When I run or hike my mind often plays songs repetitively. If I don't like the song or don't know enough of the lyrics to make it a pleasant experience the resulting monotony can get quite burdensome. But if I'm lucky, a beautiful ballad that I know and love will play and I can enjoy the experience. "Stairway to Heaven" is one such song. Written in 1971 by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, performed by the incomparable Led Zeppelin, it played endlessly on the radio when I was in high school. And every time it came on, I turned up the volume and let the spell of that song carry me away. At over 8 minutes long, with lyrics scattered sparsely throughout, it's arguable that the lyrics aren't central to the song. It's one of the greatest rock anthems of all time - who even listens to the lyrics? I certainly didn't. Not until it started playing endlessly in my head. When you are forced to listen to a song 15 times in a row, you get past the awesome guitar solos and the ethereal mood of the song and you start to wonder, "What the F--- is this song really about?" At least I do.
When I first heard the song it seemed to be about some rich lady who bought her way into heaven. The line "your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know" seemed appropriate to the endless loop I was experiencing. But it took a long time for the story to come together in my mind.
As I got into it, there seemed to be a lot of non-sequiturs. Consider the line "in a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." Where did THAT come from? We were just talking about the Stairway lady. It made me wonder.
In time I realized the song is not a linear story. It's a series of images altered by the later context. It's kind of like a movie that starts in the middle of the story and only later supplies the context to understand what you've seen.
"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven." The lady and her stairway represent materialism. There's also a hint that she may be misguided because all that glitters is NOT gold. "When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed, with a word she can get what she came for." Money, privilege and power. Pretty simple so far. "There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure, 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings." She doesn't trust anyone. Money has cut her off from people.
Then comes the apparent non-sequitur. "In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." So far the song has been about a lady and a stairway, or if we're already on the metaphorical bandwagon, it's about materialism and the way that cuts us off from other people. We can't understand this line except in the context of the rest of the song, but we'll soon see that a change from an old way of thinking to a new one is the real theme of this song. So eventually we'll understand that this line starts the real theme of the song and everything that came before it is a metaphor for the old way of thinking.
The refrain is "Oooo, it makes me wonder." Wonder what? The singer is rethinking something. But what?
The story takes a personal turn with the line, "There's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving." This is a lovely poetic line that boils down to "Facing death makes me think about what's important in life." Because the sun sets there, west has been a metaphor for death since at least ancient Egyptian times.
"In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees and the voices of those who stand looking." Rings of smoke denote campfires, indicating that people live there, despite being hidden. Those who stand looking are people who witness evil, but say nothing. The people in his thoughts are coming out of hiding to stand up for what's right.
"And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, then the piper will lead us to reason." The vision continues.The tune and the piper are musical metaphors connoting the spread of the goodness and truth seen in the vision. "And a new day will dawn for those who stand long and the forest will echo with laughter." As the vision gathers momentum, the people are no longer hiding in the trees.
But we're still not sure what this great vision really is. Does it have anything to do with the lady or the materialism she represents?
In the next few lines, we the listener are brought into the song somewhat ambiguously. "Your" and "you" could refer to the lady, but as we'll see later, they don't. "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen." Very poetic again, and very British. Some translation is needed. In rural England the hedgerow is the line of shrubs denoting the property line between your estate and the next, so a "bustle in your hedgerow" means something is changing in your life or your mind. The May queen was chosen by a village to represent youth, beauty, newness, and hope for a better future. So this line boils down to "if your old ideas start crumbling, don't be alarmed, you have new and better ideas forming in their place." It's also possible that the May queen is another reference to the lady, though significantly changed in her ways.
"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." This is a major clue to the still nebulous vision. It's a vision about a change for the better, one that we the listener can make.
"Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know. The piper's calling you to join him." Since the bustle, hedgerow and May queen were so mysterious, this stanza restates and clarifies the previous one. The piper, as mentioned earlier, represents the vision, now evidently an idea because it is humming in our head. It's also a popular idea because here the piper is portrayed like the Pied Piper whose pipe magically lured rats and children to follow him.
"Dear lady can you hear the wind blow, and did you know, your stairway lies on the whispering wind." There's a lot going on here. Blowing wind is a metaphor for popular opinion, just as it was in many other songs from this era. Now we see the flaw in materialism, represented by the lady. Her money is only good if people accept it. And her reliance on it has cut her off from those people to the point where she may not be able to hear them at all. "Dear lady" is a clue that the lady also represents the materialist part of ourselves, one of the "two paths you can go by."
"And as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls." I really love this image. This song could have been about other people's flaws, but it's not. As time goes by, we inevitably grow more materialistic. One day we realize that we haven't lived up to the idealism of youth. Our material selves are now more important to us than our spiritual selves.
But why shadows? A close inspection of the entire song shows a consistent differentiation between things seen and things heard. Things seen are false and misleading. Things heard are real and from the heart. This might seem strange, but remember, we're listening to a song. The truth is coming to us aurally, not visually.
"There walks a lady we all know, who shines white light and wants to show, how everything still turns to gold." The shadows of the previous line come from the shining white light of a materialistic point of view. If we cast a shadow, it's because our materialism is showing.
"And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last." The tune returns. Like last time, the tune is the new way of thinking, the second path, the non-materialist way of living that is more genuine, and keeps us connected to other people.
"When all are one and one is all. To be a rock and not to roll." It's too bad this line is so hard to understand in the recording because it really ties everything together. If the new way of thinking is good for one person, it's even better for a group. If enough like-minded folks get together and form a community then we'll live in a real, solid and reliable paradise.
"And she's buying a stairway to heaven." If not, the materialists will take advantage of the rest of us.
So that's how I interpret the song. It has added immensely to my enjoyment of Stairway to Heaven. I hope it does the same for you.

This is the best interpretation of “Stairway to Heaven” lyrics I encountered so far. If you/anyone knows a better one, please share.
“... It's one of those songs where… if you have a moment, with either someone else or just a moment where you're watching the sun rising or something… It's one of those moments that, this piece of music, if it connects, it's going to connect fully, into every vein you've got going, and makes something inside you… Your little atoms are stirred by it. Your being… it's one of those songs that actually connects with your being.”

More than a Rock band, Led Zeppelin is an experience. An emotional rollercoaster able to show you places and feelings deep within yourself, that you, yourself, never knew existed.
That is the reason, I think, Led Zeppelin is the greatest Rock band of all time.
As I have said before, old age is the price we pay for being there when this music was first made. A price well worth the paying. Unsurpassed.
So. My favorite song ever, and my favorite rendition of my favorite song ever. Adore this performance. Epic in every way. I've always considered STH to be about striving in life to do good. Even if we are naive, we need to strive and overcome the darkness that surrounds us. If we all did that, the world could be a place of peace and joy. The Zeppelin lore is that RP sat down and wrote the lyrics in about 15 minutes...........one shot, done. Anyway...........thanks for posting my favorite.
It's funny. Just when you said it's very mellow, a shot of JPJ playing the Melotron popped up..
You look so damn pretty! Beautiful outfit!
Thank you!!😊😊
@@journeymariereacts you’re welcome!! I love your reactions ( the ones I’ve seen so far). I envy the young soul you eventually choose to challenge, and be challenged by, for your life’s journey! Only a few videos and I’m smitten, by the entire package! Beauty, brains and a sense of humor,,, what an enticing combination ❤️
zepp at their very best..the entire msg 73 show..omg
Like the reaction, Love your look and like the way u predicted the calm before the storm.
P.S. as much as I (everyone?) loves the LIVE Stairway/ the solo is magnificent/ I still think the ultimate Rock performance is the original Album version.
PEACE.
Zeppelin were Tolkien fans. Lots of references to his work in their songs. Not just LOTR and The Hobbit either.
These bands were in a different class; compared to the mush today this was art..
jimmy never played solos the same way twice and the band never played songs the same way twice either
You are correct 100%. I saw them play this 3 times and each time was different. Jimmy improvised each solo
Robert Plant who wrote the lyrics said it's up to people to interpret the lyrics as they wish, so there is no right way to interpret them. He can't explain the lyrics now. He said they just came to him quite quickly. He has described it as a 'song of hope'. I think it's mainly about being true to oneself and one's dreams rather than being distracted and deluded too much by material things and unrealistic expectations.
Ohhh okay well thank you for sharing your interpretation🙏🏼
@@journeymariereacts there is nobody better...especially live!! Please do more live performances and studio tracks! Never disappointing!!
@@juliemanarin4127 Robert Plant and Jim Morrison from The Doors had similar looks and aura about them on stage.
That was great and you didn't cut anything short so I subscribed 🙂
Appreciate it🙏🏼
There's a reason the light is behind Robert Plant. He was called the Golden God by us Led Heads. Once that caught on, they showcased his hair in this way. There is so much to learn about this band, the members and the individual songs and albums. Fifty years later I'm still learning things.
I'm so glad you reacted to this! The lyrics to this were intentionally vague and are left up to each listener. Art appreciation is best left up to the consumer because my interpretation is just that; my own and it's for others to decipher what it means to them and therein lies the power and meaning. FYI, the band members are guitarist Jimmy Page - he created the band and produced all their albums. Bassist/keyboardist/mandolin John Paul Jones, drummer John Bonham, and singer Robert Plant who also plays harmonica. They started in 1968 and disbanded in 1980 with the passing of Bonham. They were always very tuned into each other, musically. Sometimes there'd be a blues-style "call and response" between the guitar and the singing, sometimes the drums or bass would lock in with the guitar. Generally speaking, bass and drums lock with each other to create the rhythm section, and Zep did that too (did they ever) but it just illustrates their musical skill and versatility that they could and did play however they wanted and sounded outstanding.
Ok well I’ll look at the lyrics again and try to come up with my own interpretation👌🏻& thanks for letting me know all their names I’m gonna try my best to learn them for the next reaction, thanks so much for watching🙏🏼
Robert Plant is a tenor holding best vocal .on several mags. He has a vocal range of 3.94”. 4He is also being credited as the best frontman. He plays the harmonica (during Zeppelin days mostly) and he plays guitar post Zeppelin. I’ve been a huge fan since 1970’ the media didn’t like them very much at all. The best way to listen to LZ 1 then two etc
This concert film was in movie theaters many years back and I wish it could be released again like that..You should check ot the version of ''The Song Remains The SAME'' and then it goes into '''The Rain Song'' ,,,,..The studio version is just as good but the visuals that are used in the film are very nice ...
I think a few people have recommended this before so I’ll definitely be checking it out👌🏻thanks for watching🙏🏼
Love the Marie stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way Queen
Robert was a huge fan of LOTR,(Toiiken), some lyrics are from these writings.
You are most welcome.
There’s no right or wrong interpretation of the lyrics-it’s what it means to you that matters. One thing is for sure:
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.
🐐🐐🐐🐐
I just subscribed! Your are incredible in how you react. Love it. I am hooked! Please react to Led Zeppelin' song titled "In The Light" Off the Physical Graffiti Album. You will see the light after that song. Incredible all around with every band member in the light on this tune.
Thank you!! I’ll add that one to the list🙏🏼
Beautiful Reaction Yet Again! I can watch you everyday, Beautiful with Intelligence! Now, Led Zeppelin is a Legendary group this is probably the only song I know of em. I didnt grow up listening to rock like that but I do know songs. Fun Fact: 2Pac sample Led Zeppelin for a song call "Life So Hard" the OG version. Dope AF ! 🔥 I would to see your Reaction to it, since you like both. This would be a 2 for 1 type thing but remember it's the OG version of the song, tho.
Thank you😊🙏🏼& that’s perfect I’ll definitely react to it soon👌🏻👌🏻
@@journeymariereacts 👍💯❤
Burton Cummings Stand Tall live 1977
Please react to U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me Kiss Me
Ok, so, you are freaking gorgeous. 😍😍😍😍
Thank you!!!
vanity inflated pride in oneself or one's appearance: best description for this song. As Robert Plant said: You can interpret this according to your mood of the day. it means different things to different peiople
The guitar is actually talking to you that is the design of the patterns that Jimmy Page was playing. He will never admit this this but people close to him know. When you write down all the notes that he played in the solo The letter no combinations spell out sentences
Enjoyable reaction ❤️.
Gary Moore - The Messiah will come again live. Gary is a absolute wizard and you should definitely try to review.. Pleased to see young people interested in real music and not the computer aided nonsense that's around today.. Enjoy the experience as you move forward.. ❤️🙏
Thank you for watching🙏🏼I’ll definitely try and react to that soon!!
U next reaction should be ice cube us
i think the song touches on a lady whos materialistic but she looses her soul in hell at the end....... not all that glitters is Gold!
the lyrics mean whetever you want them to mean
Lyrics refer to Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings.
I think it's LOTR's ...Galadriel...
lovely beautiful lady 🥰 if you have 40 minutes free sometimes maybe try listening to the whole album, Led Zeppelin 4 , its a powerful ride
With the light shining on him …..he has a Jesus Christ likeness to him…..
An early contender for Led Zeppelin vocalist was English singer Terry Reid (dubbed 'Superlungs') who also had that high raspy soul voice that would certainly have been a match, but he wasn't available by then. One urban legend speaks of a concert when the PA system failed and Robert Plant could still be heard above the band from the back of the auditorium. Which is clearly rubbish. Isn't it?
In my opinion, this song is about drugs. Couple of things. “The Piper will ask you to join him.” The drug dealer will ask you to try some of his stash. “ but in the long Ru you can change the road your in” if you go and make the choice to take drugs, in the long run, you can change your life and go straight.
The word with two meanings is Faith. Faith is the ladies name and the song is about faith. The two paths is the choice between heaven and hell. Still having time to choose is Gods grace. Robert Plant has never said what the song was about, after all, he's the God of Rock.
Wow thanks for letting me know that it makes a lot of sense now
To me it's about a materialistic lady who's wants too buy everything and is use too getting everything she wants (:. But then she tries too buy the stairway too heaven and finds she can't or is having issues trying too because I guess she's not thinking right or maybe in the wrong head space don't know (:. Now wether she buys it or not is the only thing about this song I didn't ever find out (:. But none the less an a amazing song and band (:
Uh huh
I believe its about a girl fighting heroin addicton and prostitution.
Lyrics are pomes. It’s about materialism not getting you to Heaven! Very Simple!
Dude still sounds pretty good even though his voice by this time was trashed and lost alot of power and range
Nah his voice didn't start changing till the late 70s. You really hear it on the In Through The Out Door album.
Good luck with the lyrics. Parts of the song don't really have anything to do with the songs message. It's just about finding what is important in life. The lady in the song thinks (wrongly) that money can buy anything, even her way into heaven.
