Stairway To Heaven WEEK 8
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin is one of the most iconic songs of all time. To start off, its in the small category of songs that are eight minutes long. Second, its one of the few 8 minute songs that are actually listened to and loved. Lastly it is one of the most recognized songs of all time and one of the most influential. Stairway to Heaven is a musical masterpiece. It's lyrics are able to tell a story and get their message off without being repetitive and too long. The slow build up of instruments and catchiness of the song make it one you could listen to and not get sick of.
The guitar intro at the beginning is simple enough that you can follow along to and even the amateur guitar players can play it. That intro is "forbidden" at guitar stores so much that many of them stop you from playing it there. Maybe because its played far too often by new people but also because of the lore behind it. Stairway to Heaven can be listened to in many different and can be enjoyed by almost everyone who is fan of this genre and era of music
8 minutes is a very long time for the same song to be playing, but I thought it was cool how you said that you can't really get sick of it! It is different enough that it doesn't feel repetitive and boring! I also didn't know that about how the intro is "forbidden"! That is kinda crazy, but kinda cool! Nice work on this blog post!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for listening the an 8 minute song 3 times! I would definitely get sick of it by then. I'm not the biggest fan of rock music, but this song is a classic. I'm curious as to what you mean by the lore behind the song?
