THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
66-Led Zeppelin-Stairway to Heaven.
1971-It was never released as a single until the bands back catalogue was made available in 2007 for download,then the song peaked at Number 37 in the UK.
Best Bit-At 6.45.Led Zeppelin played the song for the first time in Belfast in 1971.The bands bass player John Paul Jones recalled that the crowd was unimpressed,’they were all bored to tears waiting to hear something they knew.’
Led Zeppelin(see also best songs 135) never released singles so if you wanted their music you had to buy the Albums.Two cover versions of this song have been hits in the UK,the British band Far Corporation took their recording to Number 8 in 1985 and disgraced Australian singer Rolf Harris reached Number 7 in 1993.
Stairway to Heaven was composed by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant,the guitar solo from Page is considered by music critics to be one of the greatest ever.
The songs lyrics are open to interpretation,Robert Plant who wrote them at the age of 23 has said,’depending on what day it is,I still interpret the song in a different way,and I wrote the lyrics.’
Anyone can interpret the lyrics anyway they want,but it appears there are two paths you can follow.One is by learning to respect yourself,respect others and respect your surroundings which is the ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ or you can choose the other path,’The Highway To Hell.’
‘There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure ’cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.’
