Stairway to heaven
Qué decir de uno de los grandes himnos del Rock de todos los tiempos.
Año 1971, los grandes del Hard Rock dominaban el panorama rockero británico.Son los tiempos de Deep Purple, de Black Sabbath... La canción pertenece al albúm IV ,de Led Zeppelin
Recuerdo el día que compré mi guitarra electrica en una tienda de la calle Tallers de Barcelona. Tenían un letrero que decía "Prohibido tocar Stairway To Heaven, Smoke on the water..." o algo así. Parece ser que el tema es recurrente (ver enlace). Pero aún así, no lo pude evitar, y la toqué. en contra de lo que podría parecer, no llamaron a la policía, y me vendieron la guitarra...
Seguramente es una de esas canciones que nunca te cansas de escuchar, es momentos tristes, y en momentos alegres. Todo el mundo quiere su escalera hacia alguna parte.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the 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 stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it 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 the stairway to heaven.
