After singing "Dream-On" that night, Du Xinghe sang a classic heavy metal song "Stairway-To-Heaven" that he liked very much, which was not so tearing the vocal cords, called "Stairway to Heaven" in Chinese.

"Stairway-To-Heaven" is the pinnacle of British heavy metal band Led-Zeppelin, and it can be called another masterpiece in the history of world rock.

The song was included in Led-Zeppelin's fourth album, Led-Zeppelin-IV (1971), written by Jimmy-Page and Robert-Plant.

The editor of Rolling Stone magazine once said of the song: "If all the classic rock works of an era were to be condensed into one song, it would probably be "Stairway-To-Heaven." It can be seen that the classic Cheng dù of this song.

However, Du Xinghe likes this song, not because of the over-interpreted meaning of this song, but because he prefers the technology expressed in this song.

The band Chaos came to sing this song, which is far less technically than the original version of Led-Zeppelin, and the various skills displayed in the original version of this song are swan songs.

The original song begins with a wonderful acoustic guitar breakdown chord that kicks off the song, here. The first chord of Jimmy-Page does not use the traditional first position of the am chord, but uses the fifth position of the chord, which makes the tone brighter and more plaintive, and then an AM7 and the inversion of the big C chord is followed by the big D and big F chord, and a familiar melody is displayed in front of everyone, simple and powerful, paving the way for the atmosphere of the whole song.

Sixteen bars later, Robert-Plant's song floated in, as if the stairs to heaven had been lowered, and God was telling us a tragic story in the middle of the clouds. Section 40. A twelve-string electric guitar joins in, and the acoustic guitar begins to strum, and the timbre of the two instruments is matched just right, and the continuous backbeat sounds more rhythmic. After a few repetitions. In measure 66. The long-awaited bassist John-Paul and Jones-John-Bonham, who was known as the No. 1 drummer at the time, also joined in and increased the overall tempo of the song by nearly a third. The audience was told that the road to heaven had unfolded in the red clouds, and the song gradually entered its climax!

In the singing of Plant, Jimmy-Page's guitar keeps the original chord progression, and the beat of the song suddenly changes, from the original 44 beats to 87 beats, which is a very strange time, and after a measure it becomes 8-9 beats, and finally changes back to 44 beats At the same time, the guitar and drums play a forte at the same time, like the bell of heaven ringing, the gate of heaven is about to open, the song enters the climax, and Jimmy-Page's solo begins!

In this 2-minute solo, jimmy-page can be said to show his talent, this solo is also considered to be 100-greatest-rock-guitar-solos ranked first - at the beginning, jimmy-page walked a relatively normal pentatonic scale, but the non-stop set of beats makes this solo seem rhythmic, high and low, and the tone of the gibson piano is also quite good, interpreting the atmosphere of the songBut when the rhythm guitar enters the second section, that is, after the distortion is turned on, the solo of the jimmy-page gradually becomes wilder, as if there are two pianos confiding in each other, each sad DO-SI, DO-LA is followed by the wild distortion solo, as if in dialogue with God, as if the gate of heaven is slowly opening at the end of the ladder of heaven, and the dazzling light is pouring out from the door. Finally, the solo ends, the song fades down, all the instruments stop roaring, and Plant softly sings the last lyrics, and the song ends.

The whole song goes from slow to fast, from light to loud, and finally returns to calm, LED-Zeppelin interprets the whole song to a fascinating level, and the love is just right, and Jimmy-Page's solo adds a wonderful touch to the song.

Du Xinghe brought this song to this plane, with the band Chaos to rehearse, the guitar SOLO must not be comparable to jimmy-page, even if he himself played this SOLO can not achieve better results, but he still sang this song impeccably, and melted the hearts of many girls on the spot. Although those girls couldn't understand what he was singing, a top newcomer idol like him, who could be compared to the national princess Zhang Jiajia, was handsome in the eyes of those girls. What's more, his singing voice is loaded with brute force like electricity, this voice comes with marriage without effects, as long as it is not fungus, listening to him sing will only have a feeling of intoxication.

Speaking of the song "Stairway-To-Heaven", many people will think that this song is a classic mess, it is a rock Bible, using popping noise to interpret the blues, and warn us that life should not be a material feast, but a soul cultivation.

Every time he sees such remarks, Du Xinghe will feel like listening to the Chinese teacher talk about Lu Xun. (Lu Xun: "Good night!") ”。 Chinese teacher: The word "evening" in "Good Night" points out the time, which is reminiscent of the dark sky, symbolizing the darkness of the society at that time. However, under this dark sky, people feel "peaceful", which reflects the numbness of the people, and the exclamation mark at the end of the sentence reflects Lu Xun's "sadness and anger" to the people's numbness. Lu Xun: "......")

Led-Zeppelin's 1971 "Stairway-To-Heaven" has actually been over-interpreted by many people. Including the media that fanned the flames. This song has been named the greatest rock song of the 70s, and many music critics have commented on this song, all of which describe the song as philosophical and profound, and its artistic conception is not easy for ordinary people to understand. Many foreigners, including foreigners, will say, "This-song-is-DEEP!! -DEEP!!!” But is that really the case? Not really.

If you want to analyze what this song is about, you must first paste the original work of this song.

Many domestic rock magazines say that the lyrics of this song are far-reaching. And many of the words used in the translation are better than the above.

For example, the last sentence -

“When-all-are-one-and-one-is-all-To-be-a-rock-and-not-to-roll.”

There is an article that translates it beautifully, it is: "All things are always one, be a stubborn stone and don't roll in vain!"

Previous articles at home and abroad have interpreted the "Piper" in the lyrics of this song as something that many people may have read in our fairy tales, and there is a city rat that suffers. The "Piper" who lured the rats out of the city. thinks that the lyrics are written about a sense of loss in the world, and hopes to follow the piper's guidance to a utopian country.

However, many people think that these rock bands are addicted, drug-lewd, and most of them are the last in their studies. Led-Zeppelin is no exception. How could they have any advanced thoughts. At most, it's just a scribbling in a hallucination, or as many lyricists say, what happened in life at that time was written down, and it was not explained afterwards for everyone to interpret casually.

It's like the classic "Hotel-California". There are various explanations, but the Eagles never answer positively about what the lyrics are about.

There is also the classic song "Smoke-on-the-Water", which was only the fire that broke out in the hotel where Deep-Purple was staying at the time. The lyrics are just a few days of life experience.

On the other plane. There was once a high-tech researcher. I liked the song "Stairway-to-heaven" very much, so one day he thought that he would use the spirit of research and scholarship to find out what the song was about and why he wrote such sentences and paragraphs.

So he went to collect all kinds of relevant information, and through connections, he came into contact with the people who were around Led-Zeppelin at the time, and visited the people who lived in the village of the old castle in the countryside of the head guitarist Jimmy-Page when the song was written, so he gradually revealed the true meaning of the song.

After the British Led-Zeppelin became famous, he began to live a life of prostitution - promiscuity - drug use - drugs (like this in many orchestras in the hippie era), guitarist Jimmy-Page liked medieval things, so he went to the countryside of Wales in the north of England, found a medieval castle and bought him, and invited the troupe, staff, crazy female fans, etc. to live there, and ordered a lot of Victorian costumes, Having fun at the Home-Party every day is a life in the Middle Ages and becoming notorious in the local area! Jimmy-Page says that the top of the castle is Heaven, and from above it can overlook the entire local countryside

The Lady in the lyrics of "Stairway-to-heaven" is actually a local divorced woman Erma, who started a contract business in order to make a living, Jimmy-Page wanted to build a wooden staircase outside the castle to the top, so that people don't have to get lost in the castle, the former owner of the castle was a British TV star, and he knew this Ms. Erma, so he introduced her to Jimmy-Page.

But the woman and her workers were rude in carrying wooden materials, and they had broken a lot of valuable antiquities in the castle,-Jimmy was so angry that Robert-Plant, the lead singer of the song, thought that she had seen these antiquities in the appearance of old and rotten, and that she was not aware of the goods, and probably thought that only shiny things in appearance were valuable, so the lyrics began to write:

……

Theres-a-lady-whos-sure-all-that-glitters-is-gold

And-shes-buying-a-stairway-to-heaven

……

But when it was time to start building the wooden ladder, Ernma told Jimmy that the owner of the only hardware store in the local area went on an outing and didn't open a store, so she couldn't buy nails and couldn't start work, and Jimmy bought this castle and became a celebrity in the local area, and he met the local councillor, so he asked the councillor to threaten the hardware store owner and told him to open a store immediately for Erma to buy things, so Robert-Lyrics Record-

……

When-she-gets-there-she-knows-if-the-stores-are-all-closed

With-a-word-she-can-get-what-she-came-for-(the word in this sentence means a threatening word to be spoken by the councilor)

……

Also, there was a guitar room in Jimmy's upstairs of the castle, and he didn't like people to enter, so he put a sign on the door that read: "Keep-the-fuc-k-Off", but Erma's workers went in to reach out from the window of this room......
