Stairway to Heaven (click graphic)

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
[on live versions this is usually: ... if the stars are all closed]
With a word she can get what she came for
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 misgiven
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, 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 a stairway to heaven

Their untitled fourth album, which features the track "Stairway to Heaven", is among the most popular and influential works in rock music, and it cemented the status of the group as "superstars".

Led Zeppelin disbanded following Bonham's sudden death in 1980.

((HUGS))Good morning, Beach, LUV W.

How's it going?

Good morning Luv and (((HUGS))) to you.

John Paul Jones doesn’t get enough love. I loved his keyboard work. I heard Plante “blame” Jones for In Through the Out Door. But I love ITTOD. The sound was a welcome change to Zep’s sound, and still holds up well today. It’s a shame that they broke up at that point, because they were going in an exciting new direction.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

——In My Time of Dying-11:04,

Carouselambra-10:32,——

Two of my favorites, and completely different.

Carouselambra could be three minutes shorter, but I guess they were short of material and had to fill the album. Too bad, because it never gets any radio play.

IMTOD has to be their toughest, hardest rocking tune. Amazing what they could do with a simple blues song. Amazing too, that it was completed in a handful of takes, since they could be very sloppy live.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, St_Thomas_Aquinas

Thanks for sharing that.

Do you have a song in mind when you think of JPJ?

[beachn4fun]

Carouselambra

Humm, don't recognize this one

HAPPY FRIDAY, Edward!
