Thx

Fckn hell mate! It's a great song but, ultimatety, it aint that deep, it's properly obvious! Stop trying to make something out of nothing.

Most peaceful song in the world ✨ also the poetic 🎉

I think the lyrics can be interpreted many different ways literally and metaphorically. Only the author can tell us what he truly meant. Good stuff

Go psychoanalyze yourself pal! Rock music means different things to different people. Any artist worth their salt tell you the same.

You are listening to The Song Remains the Same which if you are going to do this, u have to listen to The studio recording to accurately feel what u are trying to analyze.🎸😎

To me theres almost a Robert Frost Rock Poetry intertwined from “Nothing Gold Can Stay”

There’s a lot of lure to this Song/Lyrics and everything from when, who, why, where it was actually written and composed. Supposedly Page wrote the first half and Plant finished it…? So Page wrote the Composition at Bron-Yr-Aur a remote cottage in Whales while Plant had written the Lyrics at Headley Grange-Hampshire RS.

For some reason I always thought it was a woman doing drugs🤷

I've been listening to, and loving this song for 42 years. Thanks for adding a new dimension to my enjoyment. It is a superb song. I suspect that the song is written to a man...

RP…. OMG❤

The comments are much better than the video.

Freebird is contructed similiarly.

Excellent insight. At the time at this songs construction and recording the Human Potential Movement (Very much including Erhard Seminars Training) was taking off. I've always thought Plant was making a statement on that and the notion that people thought they could buy a better version of themslves.

"Stairway To Heaven" is more than THE anthem of the whole rock history, it's THE revelation at all. I gave them my soul when I was sixteen and now they are not going to give it me back.

At the end of his life, he realises he wasn't who he thought he was. Rather than let this realisation free him from his past delusions and regrets, he chooses instead to go to his grave denying this fleeting insight as a mistake instead and continue as he was. It's to late in his life to change, and it doesn't matter anyway because he can't know himself or anyone else.

The the, magic

That piano solo is immense, jools magic

Matt's doing alright saved many a life id say

Enough phsyc maybes namaste

Books u have read could be talking about his dog really

So Ur assuming this did u ask Matt or are u going on book's I have read and hoping Ur assuming this is correct huge guess dangerous assumptions namaste

If it was truly a secret, I’m pretty sure you’re the last guy that would know about it. So pompous.

Why don’t you reveal the secrets to Robert Plant who wrote it. I’m sure he’d like to know. 😏

9:22 no. The Pipers song is stuck in your head and your humming it. Who hasent had this happen ? Wheres the "suffering"? How do you impose suffering on that lyric? How weak are you mentally to suffer from having a song stuck in nead? Oh hey you hear about poor chad? got a terrible case of a song stuck in his head. Poor old guy, maybe we should put him down. I mean johnny lost both arms in iraq but atleast he aint got a song stuck in his head. Ridiculous.

Interesting. Is the video from the official THE THE channel?

There was a 18th century english poet that first wrote verbatim these words [lyrics] in a poem, 250 yrs bf Led Zep was even a notion. They never even gave the guy credit for writing it. Obviously this song is a complete departure from the rest of their songs, which contain lyrics that are [simple Simon] and amateurish by comparison and dont parallel the true poet that wrote it in the slightest. lending creed to the fact that they didnt write it.

Top, Melhor banda de rock de todos os tempos

They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.

I decoded a hidden message from the song, not from the lyrics, but rather from some guitar chords and riffs starting around the time "as we wind on down the road". You hear a chord progression A minor then G then F. But then there is this riff within that goes like F,A,C,E,D then C. so A twice then G twice then the FACED C so its like the materialistic lady who is trying to buy her way into heaven is a double entendre faced C*, but if you play it backwards it says Coffee Decaf GG Allin Amen. GG Allin's birth name was Jesus Christ after all. I am not making this up. Yer welcome.

I always wondered who the mysterious voice was saying something about sifting through pig sht on Necro's song Dead Body Disposal.

Greatest band in history! EVERY SONG!

Best band ever led Zeppelin Allahu Akbar

Wonderful video and if I may quote, "I'm telling you, a'tche, if you keep looking at me, I'm gonna bury you where you stand!" - Don Logan 😂❤🎉

“The meaning of "Stairway to Heaven" When I run or hike my mind often plays songs repetitively. If I don't like the song or don't know enough of the lyrics to make it a pleasant experience the resulting monotony can get quite burdensome. But if I'm lucky, a beautiful ballad that I know and love will play and I can enjoy the experience. "Stairway to Heaven" is one such song. Written in 1971 by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, performed by the incomparable Led Zeppelin, it played endlessly on the radio when I was in high school. And every time it came on, I turned up the volume and let the spell of that song carry me away. At over 8 minutes long, with lyrics scattered sparsely throughout, it's arguable that the lyrics aren't central to the song. It's one of the greatest rock anthems of all time - who even listens to the lyrics? I certainly didn't. Not until it started playing endlessly in my head. When you are forced to listen to a song 15 times in a row, you get past the awesome guitar solos and the ethereal mood of the song and you start to wonder, "What the F--- is this song really about?" At least I do. When I first heard the song it seemed to be about some rich lady who bought her way into heaven. The line "your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know" seemed appropriate to the endless loop I was experiencing. But it took a long time for the story to come together in my mind. As I got into it, there seemed to be a lot of non-sequiturs. Consider the line "in a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." Where did THAT come from? We were just talking about the Stairway lady. It made me wonder. In time I realized the song is not a linear story. It's a series of images altered by the later context. It's kind of like a movie that starts in the middle of the story and only later supplies the context to understand what you've seen. "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven." The lady and her stairway represent materialism. There's also a hint that she may be misguided because all that glitters is NOT gold. "When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed, with a word she can get what she came for." Money, privilege and power. Pretty simple so far. "There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure, 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings." She doesn't trust anyone. Money has cut her off from people. Then comes the apparent non-sequitur. "In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." So far the song has been about a lady and a stairway, or if we're already on the metaphorical bandwagon, it's about materialism and the way that cuts us off from other people. We can't understand this line except in the context of the rest of the song, but we'll soon see that a change from an old way of thinking to a new one is the real theme of this song. So eventually we'll understand that this line starts the real theme of the song and everything that came before it is a metaphor for the old way of thinking. The refrain is "Oooo, it makes me wonder." Wonder what? The singer is rethinking something. But what? The story takes a personal turn with the line, "There's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving." This is a lovely poetic line that boils down to "Facing death makes me think about what's important in life." Because the sun sets there, west has been a metaphor for death since at least ancient Egyptian times. "In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees and the voices of those who stand looking." Rings of smoke denote campfires, indicating that people live there, despite being hidden. Those who stand looking are people who witness evil, but say nothing. The people in his thoughts are coming out of hiding to stand up for what's right. "And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, then the piper will lead us to reason." The vision continues.The tune and the piper are musical metaphors connoting the spread of the goodness and truth seen in the vision. "And a new day will dawn for those who stand long and the forest will echo with laughter." As the vision gathers momentum, the people are no longer hiding in the trees. But we're still not sure what this great vision really is. Does it have anything to do with the lady or the materialism she represents? In the next few lines, we the listener are brought into the song somewhat ambiguously. "Your" and "you" could refer to the lady, but as we'll see later, they don't. "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen." Very poetic again, and very British. Some translation is needed. In rural England the hedgerow is the line of shrubs denoting the property line between your estate and the next, so a "bustle in your hedgerow" means something is changing in your life or your mind. The May queen was chosen by a village to represent youth, beauty, newness, and hope for a better future. So this line boils down to "if your old ideas start crumbling, don't be alarmed, you have new and better ideas forming in their place." It's also possible that the May queen is another reference to the lady, though significantly changed in her ways. "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." This is a major clue to the still nebulous vision. It's a vision about a change for the better, one that we the listener can make. "Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know. The piper's calling you to join him." Since the bustle, hedgerow and May queen were so mysterious, this stanza restates and clarifies the previous one. The piper, as mentioned earlier, represents the vision, now evidently an idea because it is humming in our head. It's also a popular idea because here the piper is portrayed like the Pied Piper whose pipe magically lured rats and children to follow him. "Dear lady can you hear the wind blow, and did you know, your stairway lies on the whispering wind." There's a lot going on here. Blowing wind is a metaphor for popular opinion, just as it was in many other songs from this era. Now we see the flaw in materialism, represented by the lady. Her money is only good if people accept it. And her reliance on it has cut her off from those people to the point where she may not be able to hear them at all. "Dear lady" is a clue that the lady also represents the materialist part of ourselves, one of the "two paths you can go by." "And as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls." I really love this image. This song could have been about other people's flaws, but it's not. As time goes by, we inevitably grow more materialistic. One day we realize that we haven't lived up to the idealism of youth. Our material selves are now more important to us than our spiritual selves. But why shadows? A close inspection of the entire song shows a consistent differentiation between things seen and things heard. Things seen are false and misleading. Things heard are real and from the heart. This might seem strange, but remember, we're listening to a song. The truth is coming to us aurally, not visually. "There walks a lady we all know, who shines white light and wants to show, how everything still turns to gold." The shadows of the previous line come from the shining white light of a materialistic point of view. If we cast a shadow, it's because our materialism is showing. "And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last." The tune returns. Like last time, the tune is the new way of thinking, the second path, the non-materialist way of living that is more genuine, and keeps us connected to other people. "When all are one and one is all. To be a rock and not to roll." It's too bad this line is so hard to understand in the recording because it really ties everything together. If the new way of thinking is good for one person, it's even better for a group. If enough like-minded folks get together and form a community then we'll live in a real, solid and reliable paradise. "And she's buying a stairway to heaven." If not, the materialists will take advantage of the rest of us. So that's how I interpret the song. It has added immensely to my enjoyment of Stairway to Heaven. I hope it does the same for you. Brian Robinson” This is the best interpretation of “Stairway to Heaven” lyrics I encountered so far. If you/anyone knows a better one, please share. “... It's one of those songs where… if you have a moment, with either someone else or just a moment where you're watching the sun rising or something… It's one of those moments that, this piece of music, if it connects, it's going to connect fully, into every vein you've got going, and makes something inside you… Your little atoms are stirred by it. Your being… it's one of those songs that actually connects with your being.” Krusher More than a Rock band, Led Zeppelin is an experience. An emotional rollercoaster able to show you places and feelings deep within yourself, that you, yourself, never knew existed. At least that's how I felt back in my teenage heroin addict self tripping with their music, in places and realms I didn't want to come back from. Today I often find myself binging on people's reactions to their music trying to relive somehow even if a glimpse of that. If that makes sense… As much as I like and respect other bands, nothing compares to Led Zeppelin, the greatest Rock band of all time..

My god what a great song. Their first album I must have played a zillion times in 1980. Every B-52 album is incredible……even the few after Ricky passed. 👍

Great episode. 👍

Head shirkers are Godless! PERIOD…FAKES AND FRAUDS! Zeppelin is the real deal…my all time group! The GOATS! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very insightful Mr. Tegg. Thank you🙏

This was about following Pan. Or not. Following Pan down the path to paganism. The sigils on the pants are pagan. It was the late 60's, early 70's. Allan Tegg, sir; you must be younger than the song. You would know better than to talk about modern sensibilities.

The humming in the middle. Why is that my favorite part?

Never really listened to a song in this kind of context. One of my favourite songs, viewed from a totally different lens. Thank you............ Ooooo, you've done giant as well😂

I love how the chorus lyric includes a mashup between Frank Sinatra’s I’ve Got You Under My Skin and The Beatles’ Fixing a Hole. Matt Johnson makes Beatles references on several albums from Burning Blue Soul through at least Mind Bomb. Lyrical examples can be found on Icing Up (“whistling a tune that really moves me…yeah yeah yeah”), Delirious (“I've got a million 'Beatles' under my skin, they’re all digging a hole where the rain gets in”), Uncertain Smile (“I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in…”), and The Beat(en) Generation (“…freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun”). There may be more Beatles references slipping my mind. Happy hunting!

People Are Strange by The Doors would be good to analyze.

you bring HEAVY hitters to the table congrats! :)

They are still going! Just saw them in LA's Shrine Auditorium. Love "I'll try to swim and pull you out."

Well done Allan

The ventures didn't write the song Wipe Out the Surfaris did

Wow, I was wondering how you would analyse a song without lyrics- well done. A masters in sociology must count some way towards being a socialist
