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
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 | |

ROCKOGRAPHY
defined what has become heavy metal and hard rock,
earning themselves a place in music history as one of the greatest
bands ever. Coming up in Britain at the same time the Bay Area was
busting with psychedelia, would move to break all
boundaries known to traditional rock.
When the Yardbirds split in 1967, Jimmy Page was left to fulfill
concert obligations left by the band. With two integral members
missing, Page and bassist Chris Dreja were left with the rights to
the band's name. Immediate action needed to be taken to make these
tour dates. On a tip from Terry Reid, Page went to hear Robert
Plant, who at the time was singing with a band called Hobbstweedle.
Almost immediately, Page was taken by Plant's voice and stage
presence, and in August 1968, Plant became the band's frontman. Right
around this time, Dreja quit and John Paul Jones took his place as
bassist. Now all the band needed was a commanding drummer. After a
month of courting, Page convinced John Bonham to join.
Touring under the name the New Yardbirds, the foursome fulfilled the
old band's concert schedule and in October 1968 the band, now called
, went into the studio and recorded their self-titled
debut album in under 30 hours. Before the year
was over,
signed a contract with Atlantic Records and set out to tour the
States.
When I came out in January 1969, it only took two months
for it to catch on like wildfire. The album soared to the top of the
charts and , with their heavy, free-form, psychedelic
style of rock, began their ascent to god-like status. Touring
endlessly through that year, recorded their second album,
II, on the road.
Like the first album, II
hit the No. 1 spot and stayed there for seven weeks. In support of
the album, hit the road and didn't stop for a full year.
Taking a step back from hard rock, the band focused more on the
mystical aspects of British folk music for their
third album,III, which came out in October 1970. But it wasn't until
the untitled album
(referred to as " IV" )
was released
in November of 1971 that the band fully captured the folk spirit. It
was also on this untitled album that the band produced their most
popular classic songs like "Stairway To Heaven," "Rock & Roll"
and "When The Levee Breaks." This became the band's biggest album,
selling more than 16 million copies over the course of 25 years.
In the spring of 1973, the band broke from their traditional album-
naming convention with the release of Houses of the Holy. Here traces
of funk and reggae experimentation can be heard melded with the
already well-known rock and folk sound. This album debuted at No. 1
both in America and England. While they toured to support the album,
shot footage that would later be produced as their 1976
rockumentary, The Song Remains The Same.
To better accommodate their recording needs in 1974
formed their own label,
Swan Song.
would record all their
albums on Swan Song from this point---including the double
album,Physical Graffiti, Presence and In Through The Out Door, the
band's eighth and final studio album.
Following the successful release of
In Through The Out Door,
toured Europe for one last time. In September 1980, the group
rehearsed in preparation of an America leg of their tour. On Sept.
25, John Bonham was found dead in his bed after choking on his own
vomit following an all-day drinking binge. In December of that same
year, the surviving members of the band reported that without Bonham
could not be a band, and broke up. | |

I saw this post of yours, and tried it a little
It is very difficult.
Then, encoding varies according to Japanese.
Therefore, it is encoded when it is seen from the foreign countries.
I thought about various ideas by myself.
But, I don't think of so wonderful design as you.
I really respect you.
