    Brann, if you're reading this, I just want to say, I admire you and respect your work as Mastodon's drummer. But you've went above and beyond with such a mystical, yet majestic vocal performance.
    Forever your fan.

It refers to the parts of Lord of the Rings that talk about elves leaving Middle Earth and going westward to the undying lands.

    I'm not usually a fan of perfect re-creations of songs, but this is definitely an exception to the rule.
    There is so much care taken to make the mood the same as the original so that it honours the man they cover it for.
    Nice one fellas. RIP Nick John.

    This song feels like it could help anyone who is a music lover, to get through their grief of having lost someone so close to them. To unleash and let go of whatever sadness they may be holding, and become better again.

    Not to take anything away from anyone, but the more I listen to covers of this song the more I appreciate the raw power of Bonzo. That is something I don't find in many covers - a deeper appreciation of the original. This is a testament to the top-tier talent at work here.

    First and foremost, so sorry for your loss and thank you for fundraising for such an important cause. Secondly, Brann deserves all the praise he's getting for his singing. Thirdly, Brent, the solos, my god. What an amazing blend of your own style with some of the notes and progressions of Page's original solo. Finally, the whole composition from start to finish was nothing short of brilliant. The greatest cover of the greatest rock song of all time. Thank you!

    Descobri Mastodon em 2010, eu tinha 15 anos, hoje tenho 23 e nunca mais parei de ouvir essa banda espetacular, e agora me deparo com um cover incrível que eles lançam, de uma música que eu ouvia através do meu pai, gerações se encontrando através da música e proporcionando inúmeras emoções. Amo essa banda. RIP Nick.

    Mastodon took the most cliched* guitar song and made me feel it again. That is talent.
    * Wayne's World movie had a "No Stairway to Heaven" sign in the guitar store, It has been a long running joke among guitarists that playing Stairway or Smoke on the Water in a guitar shop makes you newbie or douche bag. Mastodon said fuck that, respect.

    Damn. I'm sorry to hear about your loss fellas. To Brann and everyone else in Mastodon, this has to be one of the best covers of a songs that I have ever heard. I have replayed this over, and over again and still have goosebumps. You guys have given this beautiful historic song justice for sure. True musicians. You and Led Zeppelin are some of the GREATEST bands to have ever existed. Brann's vocals in this song are impeccable, and can only be outdone by Robert Plant himself. LZ would be proud. Keep up the amazing music that will keep rock alive, just like this song.

    I heard the tail end of this on 99.7 the Blitz last night. I could not figure out who was doing this remake from the sound. I was getting goose bumps and saying I have GOT to find who this is. The DJ then said it was by Mastodon which made me even more thrilled. Just not 20 minutes ago I had a buddy play this in our shop - this would be the first time listening to it in full. I got goose bumps again. Then I came into my office and read the background.
    Truly grateful to be able to enjoy this and yet and sadden by the loss...

    Lyrics
    There's a lady who's sure
    All that glitters is gold
    And she's buying a stairway to heaven
    When she gets there she knows
    If the stores are all closed
    With a word she can get what she came for
    Oh oh oh oh and she's buying a stairway to heaven
    There's a sign on the wall
    But she wants to be sure
    'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
    In a tree by the brook
    There's a songbird who sings
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
    Ooh, it makes me wonder
    Ooh, it makes me wonder
    There's a feeling I get
    When I look to the west
    And my spirit is crying for leaving
    In my thoughts I have seen
    Rings of smoke through the trees
    And the voices of those who standing looking
    Ooh, it makes me wonder
    Ooh, it really makes me wonder
    And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
    Then the piper will lead us to reason
    And a new day will dawn
    For those who stand long
    And the forests will echo with laughter
    If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
    Don't be alarmed now
    It's just a spring clean for the May queen
    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
    And it makes me wonder
    Your head is humming and it won't go
    In case you don't know
    The piper's calling you to join him
    Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
    And did you know
    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll
    And she's buying the stairway to heaven

    With most bands when they perform a song they wrote you can hear the emotion in the vocals and the effort in how they play, but Mastodon does something else and something amazing. They took a song that is loved by many and played it like they wrote it themselves, you can hear the same amount of emotion and effort in this song that you would hear in any song off of one of their own albums and it is simply amazing.
