こんばんは（*^_^*）
偶然、
NHKの音楽番組「SONGS」でレッド・ツェッペリンの曲を聞きました。
「天国への階段」
いい曲だなぁ・・。
ギターとボーカルに恍惚とし、
ドラムスに圧倒されました。
再結成時の映像でした。
ツェッペリンは一枚だけアルバムを持っていた気がします・・。
この曲を聞いていたら、
アルバムで聞いたであろう
音楽がよみがえってきました。
何ていうタイトルだったんだろう(・ω・；A
おぼろな記憶を頼りに調べてみたら、
アルバムは「Led Zeppelin Ⅱ」、
オープニング・ナンバーは
「胸いっぱいの愛を Whole Lotta Love」でした!
♪
「天国への階段」、歌詞がステキです。
Stairway to Heaven
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, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven
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, 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 forest 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
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, Ooh, 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'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 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 is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
