藝人:Led Zeppelin
專輯:IV
年份:1971
曲名:Stairway To Heaven
重搖滾龍頭 Led Zeppelin在1971年發行的第四張專輯Led Zeppelin IV,
在重搖滾史上若稱第二,可能沒有其它專輯敢稱第一。
專輯中的精華所在,應是有「搖滾樂國歌」之稱的Stairway To Heaven一曲,
這首歌同時也是國外廣播電台播放次數最多的歌曲。
整首歌分成七個段落進行。
從柔緩的木吉他、悠揚的橫笛、到激情的電吉他,
Jimmy Page精彩的吉他演奏、Robert Plant頂尖的歌喉,
加上不落俗套的編曲風格,造就了這首搖滾史上最有名的搖滾史詩。
1980年9月25日鼓手John Bonham因酒精中毒而不幸去逝,
同年12月,Led Zeppelin宣佈因鼓手去逝而正式解散,留給樂迷無限的追思。
雖然其間重組的謠言不斷,數度讓歌迷欣喜不已,
但不管如何,Led Zeppelin的音樂對後期重金屬樂團的影響力十足深遠,
在所有搖滾迷心目中一代宗師的龍頭地位已是無庸至疑。
一同來欣賞這首搖滾史上的不朽經典之作 - Stairway To Heaven (Live現場)
Jimmy Page 雙頸吉他Solo真夠High!

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 know
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh 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 song bird 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 thought I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
That the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest 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
