膾炙人口的搖滾經典，
和弦動根音的前奏和SOLO都是經典，
而令人玩味的地方是，
在唱片盤的年代，
有人無聊到把它反過來撥放，
天堂之歌(Stairway to heaven)居然隱藏著崇拜撒旦的歌詞，
尤其是4分20秒左右地方，
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.
倒著播放後，歌詞卻變成了：
Oh here's to my sweet Satan.
The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan.
He'll give you give you 666.
There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.
喔，這裡可以接近我崇愛的撒旦
它的這條小徑使我沉淪，它的力量就是撒旦
他會給你給你666 (惡魔)
有個小小的倉庫 在那裡它讓我們受罪受苦
可悲的撒旦
(倒著撥放的stairway to heaven)
也許只是神奇的巧合，
也許只是無聊歌迷帶著先入為主的意識翻出來的歌詞，
一首到著放的歌營造出來的詭異感覺，
和信者恆信的歌詞，
天堂與地獄的巧合，
總是個在腦海中揮之不去的坊間怪談。
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a 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 a 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 a stairway to heaven.
