Led Zeppelin - 'Stairway to heaven'

Stairway to heaven is a song created by well known british band Led Zeppelin. It was first played on the radio in 1971. The song is considered one of the '500 greatest songs of all time' in the Rolling Stone magazine. Written and composed by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page it was one of the most popular song in the 70's.

This song generated a lot of interest because of unusual lyrics and sound. It is not trivial but metaphorical and hard to understand without much thought. 

At first Plant is singing about the vain woman that thinks everything can by bought with the help of money, even a place in heaven. Then the author tries to show us how wrong she is, that at the end of life everybody is equal. The world is much more complicated and in your life way you might encounter many difficulties but there isn't any golden mean. The song shows us the importance of choice, which  is always on our side. It explores people's loneliness and quest for truth. It also suggests to rely on ourselves, to be full of hope. We just have to understand our surroundings and live our lives.  

With a melodramatic tone and quirky lyrics the authors take us to the imaginary world and show hidden values. That's why this song is special and considered one of the best.
