    Robert Plant spent much of the '70s answering questions about the lyrics he wrote for "Stairway." When asked why the song was so popular, he said it could be its "abstraction," adding, "Depending on what day it is, I still interpret the song a different way - and I wrote the lyrics."
    The lyrics take some pretty wild turns, but the beginning of the song is about a woman who accumulates money, only to find out the hard way her life had no meaning and will not get her into heaven. This is the only part Plant would really explain, as he said it was "a woman getting everything she wanted without giving anything back."
    Robert Plant is a great admirer of all things mystic, the old English legends and lore and the writings of the Celts. He was immersed in the books Magic Arts in Celtic Britain by Lewis Spence and The Lord Of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Tolkien inspiration can be heard in the phrase, "In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees," which could be a reference to the smoke rings blown by the wizard Gandalf. There is also a correlation between the lady in the song and the character from the book, Lady Galadriel, the Queen of Elves who lives in the golden forest of Lothlorien. In the book, all that glittered around her was in fact gold, as the leaves of the trees in the forest of Lothlorien were golden.

    “Stairway to Heaven” brings to our attention the hard truth that true happiness in life derives not from accumulating material possessions. The song tells a story of a woman who made so much money only to realize, in the end, that her life was meaningless even with all her wealth, and she won’t make it to heaven.

    Honestly the recorded studio album version is way better for a "1st time hearing" in my humble opinion.
    There are so many beautiful details in the music which aren´t there in the life performance.
    That doesn´t mean that life performance was bad, not at all ..just to be clear..
    BUT..However.. my point is ...it is the 70ties and the life sound quality based on 70ties sound technology wasn´t the best and in combination with 70ties video recording technology the sound becomes even worse and is therefore "a bit rough to listen" to say it politely (meaning the live audience there experienced a better sound than the video watcher do) while the studio recording sound is crystal clear and totally balanced at its finest.

    When zep was formed in the late 60s they was considered the worlds first hardrock super group. The guitar player was in the biggest band at the time called the yardbirds . And zepplen was using the name the new yard birds. But they needed a new name They going to leaning towards the name supergroup they was at a party and they was telling everyone there new name and a drunk the drummer Keith moon from the band the who said that's going go over like a f🤣uking Led Zeppelin. Like the famous zeppelin crash. This is this the most requested song on the radio in history. The vest that the singer is wearing is from a groupie from the night before.. Led zeppelin invented the badboy genre of hardrock. To date they sold over 400 million albums. Zeppelin changed how artists was treated before zeppelin artists only got a small percentage of the money from concert but there very large and scary manger peter grant told the promoters if you want zeppelin you get a small percentage of the concerts and tee shits sales. Zeppelins crowds was so big that the promoters thought a small percentage of zeppelin is still better that nothing.

    Omg, you are really cracking me up. That's the second time you've called it a two-legged guitar and I've never heard that before and for some reason it makes me laugh. It's called a double-neck guitar and it allows you to have two totally different setups at the same time to move back and forth between. Plus they just looked freaking cool at the time, lol. But Jimmy Page made very good use of it, no doubt.

    Eleanor, a woman of considerable wealth and stature, had spent her life relentlessly pursuing gold. She was convinced that the shimmering allure of riches was the key to her happiness. Yet, despite her opulence, a sense of fulfilment eluded her. Tales of a mystical stairway, a path to a place of ultimate contentment often referred to as 'heaven', had reached her ears. Intrigued by the prospect of finding what she had been missing, Eleanor sought out this stairway, setting the stage for a journey that would change her life.
    Eleanor embarked on her journey, leaving behind the trappings of her luxurious life. She was drawn westwards, an inexplicable longing in her spirit guiding her. The west, where the sun sets, symbolised the end of her old life and the beginning of a new journey. It was a journey not of miles but of the mind, a journey that would challenge her deeply ingrained beliefs and values.
    Her journey led her to a vast, dense forest. With its towering trees and shadowy depths, the forest physically manifested her inner fears and doubts. It represented the deeply ingrained materialistic values, which she now realised were obstacles to her true happiness. The forest was a labyrinth she had to navigate, a test she had to pass to reach her destination.
    Deep within the forest, Eleanor saw a ring of smoke through the trees. It was elusive, transient, yet she felt an inexplicable connection. It was as if the smoke ring was a message from the spiritual realm, a beacon guiding her towards enlightenment. The sight of the smoke ring, ethereal and fleeting, gave her hope. It was a sign that she was on the right path, which led to the stairway she sought.
    In the heart of the forest, Eleanor encountered a group of people. They, like her, were seekers, individuals who had embarked on their own journeys in search of the stairway. They were the voices of those who stood looking, individuals who had seen the ring of smoke and had chosen to follow it. Their experiences and wisdom were invaluable to Eleanor. They helped her realise that the key to true happiness was not material wealth but something deeper, something more profound.
    Guided by the ring of smoke and the wisdom of her fellow seekers, Eleanor finally found the stairway. It was not a physical structure but a metaphorical path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. It was a path that led not upwards but inwards, a path that would lead her to the 'heaven' she sought.
    Eleanor began her ascent. With each step, she shed her materialistic values and embraced a new understanding of fulfilment. Each step on the stairway was a stage in her spiritual journey, a step towards enlightenment. The stairway was not a physical challenge but a spiritual one. It was a test of her resolve, her willingness to let go of her old beliefs and embrace a new way of life.
    At the top of the stairway, Eleanor found 'heaven'. It was not a physical place but a state of enlightenment and inner peace. She realised that the true 'gold' was not material wealth but love, compassion, and spiritual fulfilment. The stairway had led her not to a place but to a new understanding, a new way of life.
    Eleanor chose to return to her old life, not to resume her old ways, but to share the wisdom she had gained. She realised that the stairway to heaven was not a physical path but a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. Everyone could embark on such a journey that led not to a place but to self-discovery.

    It's a disguised song about the singer, guitarist and drummer signing a pact with the Devil. There's lots of references to the occult, trees, forests -- "some times words have to two meanings..." -- that's all -- I'll say. There's lots of clues about what he's talking about. It's not about heaven. "Your stairway lies on the whispering wind..." you can't walk on air or windy air. It's a song full of contradictions, etc. Clues are all through the lyrics. Jimmy Page the guitarist was heavily into the Aleistar Crowley - the occultist. Jimmy has many of Crowley's original manuscripts, clothes, canes, hats, shoes, etc... it's ain't about God - that's for sure. Legba - Scratch

    Britt, great reaction by someone new to Led Zeppelin and this song. According to interviews with Jimmy Page (guitar), this song was written by him and Robert Plant (singer) at a cottage in Wales, and it came from a tune that Page was noodling with on the guitar and some influences of mythology and folklore that Plant was reading at the time.
    Page had in mind a song that has different movements like a classical symphony, and a song that builds in both tempo and volume to a crescendo at the end. The lyrics are mystic and spiritual and a bit vague on purpose. It's more like Plant is trying to convey a series of images than trying to tell a specific story of a specific person.
    Critics have explained the journey of the song in terms ranging from a psychedelic drug trip, a journey of spiritual awakening, a meditation on death and dying, and many other metaphors. Like poetry, I think that it's fine for the lyrics to mean something to one person, something different to another, and still something different to the author, even if they never come out and explain it.
    I don't remember ever seeing a quote from Robert Plant directly saying, "OK, this is what Stairway to Heaven means to me, or what I meant when I wrote it..." and I think he has resisted that so that each listener gets to decide that whatever the song says to them is the right meaning for that person.
    I love your style. Keep it up!

    Jimmy Page (guitar) started this band by recruiting all the members after the Yardbirds group fell apart. He tried getting some other famous people beforehand, trying to steal them from other groups. It is said that either Keith Moon (drummer from the WHO) or manager Peter Green came up with the line, "Yeah, that would go over about as well as a lead zeppelin. That is where The New Yardbirds changed their name to Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant (vocals) and John Bonham (drums) were from a band called Band of Joy, and John paul Jones (keyboards, synthesizers, mandolin, and bass) was a studio musician and composer like Jimmy in the early to mid 60s. Led Zeppelin is in the top 5 most successful groups ever along with the Beatles, Queen, and Pink Floyd.

    The guitar is called double neck. This was voted by rolling stone magazine and guitar magazine as the number one song of all time. You really should check out ," Since I Been Loving You" live in Madison square garden 1973.. probably the best best live performance ever caught on tape.younger people don't understand in 1973 there was no auto tune or anything like that live maybe echo or layering in the studio but not live it's just the microphone guitar bass and drums..and tremendous talent

  • @nancyj795

    In sum, I always interpreted the lyrics to mean that some people think it's never too late to buy their way into heaven. I've seen many people, as they approach their life expectancy, become both religious and charitable with their money, almost like an atonement.

    • @brittreacts

      OHHHH I think this is a great interpretation!!!

    • @shesh_o
      @shesh_o ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Is wrong, the song was extremely criticized when it came because it is a critique about rich and powerful people (of any age) putting themselves in paradise because, religion, historically (Christianity for us in the west) has given them the opportunity to do so, not only because it was created to serve them, but because they control it and dictate what it is, to the point that in the past the Catholic Church sold, literally, your access to heaven, which inspired the topic of this song. The meaning of the song is, "if you have the money or the power, you are entitled to heaven, no matter what kind of person you are" and that, oh boy, made some rich conservative people angry.

    • @weldonbailey1005
      @weldonbailey1005 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Lithlad, u and Nancy are basically saying the same thing. I don't think Nancy said LZ advocated for anyone buying their way into heaven. I grew up in the time and never remember any outpouring of anything about the song one way or another other than kids dug the hell outta it. It was just effing cool and we really didn't understand what all the lyrics meant. It was just kinda mystical and open to a lot of interpretation. Robert Plant himself has made many tongue in cheek comments about his lyrics in Stairway basically saying it was over the top pretentiousness and that he could never write a song like that now. Either way, it is a classic that I love. Love ur reactions lady, do a reaction to LZ KASHMIR from their Celebration Day performance. The original drummer's son joins the 3 surviving members on stage. Yeah they are old coots but dlv an epic performance. This live show of their one time reunion on stage drew more ticket requests than any show in history. Chk it out. Its effn awesome. Mark

  • @richardreinertson1335
    @richardreinertson1335 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You got it. It's a spiritual song. You come through with true understanding as always. IMHO this song is way deeper than what most folks get, but that's prolly cuz I have had experiences that most folks haven't had, and if you haven't lived it there is no way to explain it. ALL the lyrics are rich with meaning, but to me two of the key phrases are "Cuz ya know sometimes words have two meanings," and "sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." Cuz there is a spiritual theme to life, and everything that happens has multiple layers of meaning. To paraphrase a Zen Buddhist saying: This song is not the moon, it's just a finger pointing to the moon. If you want the moon, you need to follow the fingers until you see it for yourself. Namaste and happy trails. 😉

      Completely agree, this is not their best song (imho). That accolade belongs to Kashmir, I believe. However this and Kashmir are very similar in that they are slightly surreal ramblings of vocals backed by incredible musicianship.

    I thoroughly enjoy your channel…and the funny, honest, and genuine nature of reacting!
    Your Led Zeppelin life isn’t complete until you have checked out “Kashmir”, live from the Celebration Day concert at the O2 in 2007. Those guys were all in their late 50’s / early 60’s then, and it was a rare band appearance since they called it quits around 1980. With the son (Jason) of their late (legendary) drummer, John Bonham on the drums, those guys showed us why they will forever be one of the greatest rock bands of all time. It is soooooo worth your time!
    Thanks again for what you’re doing…it is truly enjoyable to watch you explore so many new styles of music.

    My favorite band ever...LZ. Bought my first LZ album in 1973 at 13 yo followed by quadriphonic 8 track tape for my quad stereo system. First saw them perform in concert in 1976 a couple weeks b4 my 17th birthday. They were THE hard rock band at the time and still considered one of the greatest ever. They discontinued being a band much too soon in the early 80s with the death of their beast of a drummer, John Bonham, still considered one of the greatest rock drummers ever. Each of their 4 members considered one of the greatest ever in their respective roles. They changed the nature of how rock music was produced and recorded to sell albums and concerts versus hit singles for the charts. FM radio took over from AM to allow for late night playing of albums and longer songs considered much too long for daytime playing and ad space. Enjoy seeing younger generations discovering their innovative and iconic music. Mark

The drummer in the tribute (Jason Bonham) is the son of LZ's late drummer John Bonham and in attendance are the other three LZ members; Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. Robert Plant had asked his God Son, Jason Bonham to attend the tribute with him, but when asked, he told him he had a previous engagement. They were all surprised to see him walk out on stage and sit at his dad's old drum kit wearing a Bowler Hat. (And the Bowler Hat(s) are a tribute to John Bonham.

    There is something off about this performance, I don't know if they were trying something different or if it is just really bad sound mixing and production.

    The name. Jimmy Page (guitarist) had formed the band and they still needed a name. Keith Moon, drummer for The Who, had said the new band would go down like a lead balloon. Zeppelin was the name given to the very large blimps used by the Germans during WWII. The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin. Based on Moon's quote Page came up with the name Led Zeppelin and the rest is Rock history. This is a band who's catalog is well worth your diving into. I suggest you get the Led out now that your journey has begun and hear what all they have to offer!

To answer your question quickly: Robert Plant (singer), Jimmy Page (guitarist), John Paul Jones (bass, piano & any instrument as needed), John Bonham (drummer--died in 1980). You can also watch the band Heart doing this song at the Kennedy Center (with members of Led Zeppelin watching them in the audience--with their dead drummer's son playing with Heart). Amazing version also. This song was a masterpiece that will stay forever in music--inspirational for several generations to come. Have a nice day.

I watched this back on VH1 Classic and I spent 3 hours or so without ever changing the channel. Stairway to Heaven is such a timeless legendary masterpiece and eons from now people will have to listen to this story a tale that has become iconic of all time.

It could be about a woman who does to much of a certain drug and thinks of the high as heaven ( if the stores are all closed, with a word she can get what she came for, there's still time to change the road your on).
