Many believe Stairway To Heaven was the true defining song of Led Zeppelin, but they themselves said this song was truly the one. Enjoy.

Kashmir
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

this ones for a friend..enjoy :)

Over The Hills And Far Away

Hey lady--you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh Darling... walk a while with me
You've got so much...

Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing
Many many men can't see the open road.

Many is a word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know, ooh!
You really ought to know...

Flock, great choice. The defining song, from the defining album. Their entire ball of wax is somewhere and everywhere on Physical Graffiti. If deserted on a desert island, I would need this collection....Thank God they went to North Africa and picked up on this region's musical influences...

Kashmir or Stairway. You can make a case for either one. I gotta go with Flock (and Led Zep!) and say Kashmir. Stairway is not that far behind though, and what about Whole Lotta Love?

I dont know if it's their defining song, it is easily identifiable though, and a great song nonetheless, but I can think of a few others I'd pick before it.

If there has to be only one this is it, the song so good Black Sabbath blantantly ripped it off.
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talkin', few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah

You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been
Gonna love you baby, here I come again

Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard-earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away
Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby, I want you again

(Guitar Solo)

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will
Tongue wag so much when I send you the bill, oh yeah, alright

I love kasmir but i gotta go with the stairway



Stairway to Heaven
(Page-Plant)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

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

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

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 forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

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

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't 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 souls
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
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

These are the supposed backward lyrics to stairway. Make of it what you want but i thought it'd be interesting. Pretty eerie lyrics though if you read them.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant
Play it backwards -

hear why it's sung here, oppositioner! (0:05-0:16)

Oh, here's the soundtrack, all arising! (0:37-1:18)
They all sin and they are won
Shall I loathe you now, parishoner?
Oh hear Him christian within me?
Oh it stirs my skin: the river
Oh she snows without lovin' us
Oh liar, it will end before Him!
We're all outside an' I know I saw they shout:
"Hear the Lord! My God now will save me"

Ohh I will now sing world, 'cause I live with Satan (2:29-2:55)

One wish today - world pray with three who will make it here late
Pray now an' you'll win - The 'Lord' turned me on but
Oh, I was the shaggy fool clothed in agony, lost at a height

Ohh! (3:01-3:13)
There's no escapin' it!

All at war, here's t' my sweet Satan (3:21-3:42)
No other made a path, for it makes me sad, whose power is Satan
He'll give those with him 666
And all the evil, it was there, they made our souls must have Satan

Whoah oh oh

With fire you all get loose, they're all for me! (4:11-4:33)
All that soothes the water
Always will be as we know now
"I see runes" said he, "the world they offered me"
Who is the Lo-ord if we lose feather? Say you'll save me!

And no-one's gonna be the ruler (4:39-4:54)
And no-one can do

Hunt next to th' sword, 'cause they see all from there (5:02-5:24)
See here's the news, who walks with me?
Please! Perhaps no-one found me
Heavy, lift me out - make me leave someday
Say it with whose one line-up, they gotta leave for Satan

And no-one's gonna rule (5:27-5:45)
And no-one can do

And he said lots, both have our laws: mass must (6:05-6:30)
He is superb - master Satan
Over the ab he who should love me
Any man that serves my, my swan music
They worship with snow, I wish them over my master, Satan

Only hear word's sung, the oppositioner oooh (6:31-6:56)
He who snow
They make his snow worthy
So look for us, now answer me!
There's one chance - take his snow

Hold thy head (6:58-7:09)
Hear words sung! The oppositioner
Who owns this earth built below?
Oh sweet Israel

I think "in thru the out door" was a great album.

I actually had a place that had it on MP3 but i never bothered d/l it. I dunno why you could actually read the lyrics and it had mp3's for each paragraph broken down. I'll look for it and if i find it i will post it.

well it didn't take long.

quote:

'The debate over whether "Stairway To Heaven" contains any backmasked messages from the Devil is rather a heated one. In order to put this debate into perspective here are the full backwards lyrics to "Stairway To Heaven".'



Now many people say this is a joke other's disagree. I get creeped out by the lyrics alone, so i downloaded one piece of it. It's a bit groggy ofcourse cause the album is being played backwards.

I suggest downlaoding it piece by piece and reading the lyrics along with each piece. It's obviously stairway being played backwards. It aldo sounds a lot like plant singing the backwards lyrics. They are not cleanly sung because they would have interfered with the actualy song if he had done that. But you can make out the words if you read along. Make of it what you want, it's still kinda fun in a morbid way. We all know jimmy page produced the zeppelin albums and he was heavy into the occult and satanism so i wouldn't put it past him.
