That bird chirping at the beginning fitted the music quite well......even the lyrics! ("there's a songbird that sings" and "there's a bustle in your hedgerow" and then the cat appears, LOL. The live version of this from Madison Square Garden in 1973 has an extended (double-neck) guitar solo that's a classic.

The production values back then, when they only had 8 or 16 tracks, puts today’s production values to shame. Never over produced, clean, clear, and each band’s songs were as totally unique from each other as much as each band was unique from every other band. The sonic landscape of the later 60s and early 70s set a bar that has never been reached since.

Good choice for a first listen. Led Zeppelin is known for very hard rock but they have many songs like this where they go from soft to hard and back again. Their lead guitarist is a master and knows just when to use acoustic guitar and when to switch to electric guitar to get the perfect balance of sound. My recommendation for your second listen: “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You.” That one also starts off mellow with acoustic guitar, then goes large, then back to mellow again. I’m sure other commenters here will suggest more songs. Led Zeppelin was a hit factory back in the 70s so there are a ton of good songs out there. I predict that each new 70’s era rock band song you hear will make you want to hear more. The musicians of that decade actually influenced each other to produce better songs and the result was a ton of legendary compositions. Enjoy the ride, man.

Back in the day, high school,1971 this was the national stoner anthem played at every party, bongs and beer, we used to call this HIGH way to Heaven. Everyone played this album at their parties, smoking and toking, no party was complete without listening to Stairway to Heaven. 40 plus years later my reaction to this song is more like what you're hearing and feeling for the first time but without the cloud of pot smoke fogging up the memories of what this song has meant to so many of us members of the stoner generation and beyond.

Its about a girl that thinks all that glitters is gold. Shes following the wrong path is gullible and gets on drugs. She learns to manipulate to get what she wamts. She looks to the west (shes high and thinking) regretting leaving. Noticing nature. The smoke she is blowing through the trees (how nature and serenity is more important) noticing those looking back at her from the forest (thr animals). The forest echos with laughter (its beauty). How it isnt too late to take the right path. Etc. They are a Rock and rock/blues band. (Highly influenced by blues singers like Muddy Waters etc). Some songs are rock and awesome and some are blues and awesome. You should do a reaction to "Whole Lot of Love" and "Black Dog". If you like beats and some player lyrics. Theyre more upbeat as most of their songs are. Theyre also their other popular and now viral hits. Stairway to Heaven is very different than the rest but it was their number 1 out of their many hits because of the message. Led Zeppelin are known as the Gods of rock (the legends just follow) because theyve sold more albums in recorded music history. Not hits. Actual albums. Just under a third of a billion. 250 million albums sold amd counting. In todays standards you celebrate if you sell one hit at 10 n 20 million sales. They had a reunion concert in their older age back in the early 2000s. There were only 18,000 tickets. 20 million people tried to aquire one. In 2023 they were celebrated and given medals for being the best rock and rock blues band in history. Obama, Michelle, A-Listers, Rappers, Royalty were all there at the Kennedy Center. A group called Heart sang (Stairway to Heaven) flawlessly amd went viral with Led Zeppelin in the audience. Its on youtube. Just put "Led Zeppelin Kennedy Center Heart". You REALLY should have seen Stairway to Heaven done LIVE at Madison Square Garden 1973. Thats the viral clip. A LZ live reaction video would be nice to see on your chanel. "A Whole Lotta Love" should be your next reaction (the official video). Im new so not sure what youve reacted to. "Black Dog" is another popular hit. Both songs are hype with beats. This reaction video was nice and having the trees in the background and the birds chirping loudly behind you with a cat at the end walking past all while "Stairway to Heaven" was playing was epic. Just perfect. Finally, every band member in the group is known to be the best. Drummer, base guitar, lead guitar and singer. Jimmy page (lead guitar) has a lot of jealous icons. He also formed the band. I 'scribed to your channel. Love REAL reaction videos. Thanks for that.

You just listened to the most popular and famous song in rock history. Not a bad start. LOL. However, not many of their songs are like this song. Zeppelin is HEAVILY influenced by the old blues masters like Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson to name a few. So many of their songs, especially from the first 4 albums have a lot of blues and rock stuff mixed together. I would suggest at some point faily early that you listen and watch to some of their live performances. Especially anything from the Madison Square Garden concert form 1973 called "The Song Remains the Same." Live they take it to a whole new level as they often improvise and greatly extend the song from the studio version. Also, they have some of the best stage presence you have ever seen in a band. And they just ooze sex appeal on stage. Especially the singer Robert Plant. His tight jeans alone females find very distracting because of uhm what is more than hinted at under the jeans. LOL. Every member of the group is consider a top 5 at what he does. With the drummer consider the GOAT of rock music.

Welcome to Led Zeppelin man.
One of the most iconic songs in Rock History.🎼🎶😎
Even after hearing this song thousands of times I still get shivers when the drums drop in.
My personal favorite is called “Going to California” It’s a little more laid back but it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
Poetry - the first time I have heard the lyrics call that. PERFECT
Zeppelin is known for being a hard rock band. But they are heavily influenced by the blues, in particular, American blues such as Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. Give “Since I’ve been loving you” or “When the levee breaks” a try.

The production values back then, when they only had 8 or 16 tracks, puts today’s production values to shame. Never over produced, clean, clear, and each band’s songs were as totally unique from each other as much as each band was unique from every other band. The sonic landscape of the later 60s and early 70s set a bar that has never been reached since.

No computers, which means the musicians, producers, and engineers were masters and top notch pros at their craft.
Good choice for a first listen. Led Zeppelin is known for very hard rock but they have many songs like this where they go from soft to hard and back again. Their lead guitarist is a master and knows just when to use acoustic guitar and when to switch to electric guitar to get the perfect balance of sound. My recommendation for your second listen: “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You.” That one also starts off mellow with acoustic guitar, then goes large, then back to mellow again. I’m sure other commenters here will suggest more songs. Led Zeppelin was a hit factory back in the 70s so there are a ton of good songs out there. I predict that each new 70’s era rock band song you hear will make you want to hear more. The musicians of that decade actually influenced each other to produce better songs and the result was a ton of legendary compositions. Enjoy the ride, man.
The MOST requested rock song in FM radio history.

Heart tribute to zeppelin at the Kennedy Center is awesome now that you’ve heard the original
"Stairway To Heaven" is not only THE antheme of the whole rock history, it's THE revelation at all. Now they have got your soul and will never give it you back.
Thank you for calling this song art. Musical artistry.
Perennially voted best rock song of all time. Probably never be beaten.
Zeppelin will take you on a journey and each one is just as valid and unique as the person experiencing it. One of their credos is "light and shade", you will hear hypnotic riffs, deep grooves, and plumb the heights and depths with the only limitation being your own mind. Welcome to the Zeppelin family!
Back in the day, high school,1971 this was the national stoner anthem played at every party, bongs and beer, we used to call this HIGH way to Heaven. Everyone played this album at their parties, smoking and toking, no party was complete without listening to Stairway to Heaven. 40 plus years later my reaction to this song is more like what you're hearing and feeling for the first time but without the cloud of pot smoke fogging up the memories of what this song has meant to so many of us members of the stoner generation and beyond.
Brother, your own interpretation of the lyrics, is what makes the song phenomenally beautiful and timeless 💯

A lot of Zepplin's music and lyrics have a very mystical feeling. It always seems to me that the words for this song and others of theirs are partly inspired by The Lord of the Rings books.
This is an awesome reaction too. This is from Led Zeppelin IV and is from 1971. This is still timeless.
Next to have to watch the Kennedy center honor to led zep by heart. Impressive
zeppelin is one of the greatest bands to ever graced stage or livedthey changed my life and ihad every album as it came outi saw them in 1975 again 1977try the song dazed and confused try the song you shook metry the song how many more timesall of these are from the first albumon the second album start with the lemon songcan you will realize you need to hear the entire catalog
That last note Robert Plant holds is haunting... Love the audio version! Thanks~ Love your reaction!
I've been listening to this song for almost 50 years and the meaning and interpretation of the song can take a long time to figure out. And I know the meaning can be different for everyone, while staying close to the same line. But I try to just feel the song and see what comes to my mind and blend it with the lyrics. I really loved your reaction and will enjoy following you on your music journey. Thanks so much! ✌
This band was voted #3 best rock band of all time once when i watched a countdown on Vh1 i almost threw the tv out the window. They are not even from planet earth. Inconceivable perfection and I don't even listen to rock (except them)
Bet you didn't know Zep did SOUL music, did ya? I didn't either till I heard this...."Baby, Come On Home".....it'll bring a tear to your eye & blow your mind all AT THE SAME TIME!!! Have at it my brotha!!
You know, Robert Plant himself has stated he doesn’t know what this song is about. As the story goes, it was essentially free-styled. The band had already come up with the instrumental, and while rehearsing it, Robert made it all up.
1981 is when I got the full plate of Led Zepplin(only knew what was played on the radio at that time). 15 years old, sitting in a small hut with a male friend of mine, with a record player ( his mom did not allow the music in her house lol) and just had my mind blown that weekend listening to Led Zepplin’s greatness from the first album on.
You are exactly right. You have to listen to it several times to fully appreciate it. Sit in a nice comfy chair with your feet up and smoke a joint and give it a listen. That's how you listen to it like a true fan.
Led Zeppelin's trade mark in their music is to intensify as the song goes along...it could be mellow then gradually build into a hammering rock hard sound that blows you away...but very artistically bring it altogether. This song is a true example of that.
Excellent reaction and review to a legendary classic. Really like your laid back, natural style.

Right on, great reaction. "There's still time to change the road you're on..." Says it all....
You're right, you can't listen to it just one time, that's why we were fortunate enough to get to listen to it 5 or 6 times a day on the Album Rock stations back in the day. Growing up in the 70s Stairway To Heaven was etched into our minds. It's been voted number one countless times as being the greatest rock song of all time.
It's a shame that this generation will never see a band like Led Zeppelin live and solo artists like Jimmy Hendrix Janis Joplin and many others. I grew up in the greatest music generation ever.
Asked about a hedgerow and a bustle lyric. Plant said it was nonsensible... It just flowed with the music
I have been listening to it since the 70's and still have not figured it out completely.
the opening wind instrument is a baritone Recorder, which is a medieval wooden flute-like instrument, played by bassist John Paul Jones.
50 years on, and it still raises the hair on my arms Samadhi
this conststently gets voted the best guitar solo in history and 1 of the best songs ever written too, imo they simply are the best band ever! soooooo much diversity and depth, subtlety aswell as CRUSHING power!
That flute that you hear is actually a Mellotron - A synth-like instrument from the 50s that can emulate Human choir, strings, and woodwind
Led Zeppelin my man. That's all I got to say. Listen to Led Zeppelin.
The way I describe this song id it fills you up - from the tip of your toes to the ends of your hair. It's like having a great meal - when you finished you're full and satisfied and at peace, with things to sit back and think about. True artistry.
This is still the most requested song on radio....

The more that I watch reactions to this work of art, the more I realize Robert Plant is tiptoing the very precipice between Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings) and our world.

Its about a girl that thinks all that glitters is gold. Shes following the wrong path is gullible and gets on drugs. She learns to manipulate to get what she wamts. She looks to the west (shes high and thinking) regretting leaving. Noticing nature. The smoke she is blowing through the trees (how nature and serenity is more important) noticing those looking back at her from the forest (thr animals). The forest echos with laughter (its beauty). How it isnt too late to take the right path. Etc. They are a Rock and rock/blues band. (Highly influenced by blues singers like Muddy Waters etc). Some songs are rock and awesome and some are blues and awesome. You should do a reaction to "Whole Lot of Love" and "Black Dog". If you like beats and some player lyrics. Theyre more upbeat as most of their songs are. Theyre also their other popular and now viral hits. Stairway to Heaven is very different than the rest but it was their number 1 out of their many hits because of the message. Led Zeppelin are known as the Gods of rock (the legends just follow) because theyve sold more albums in recorded music history. Not hits. Actual albums. Just under a third of a billion. 250 million albums sold amd counting. In todays standards you celebrate if you sell one hit at 10 n 20 million sales. They had a reunion concert in their older age back in the early 2000s. There were only 18,000 tickets. 20 million people tried to aquire one. In 2023 they were celebrated and given medals for being the best rock and rock blues band in history. Obama, Michelle, A-Listers, Rappers, Royalty were all there at the Kennedy Center. A group called Heart sang (Stairway to Heaven) flawlessly amd went viral with Led Zeppelin in the audience. Its on youtube. Just put "Led Zeppelin Kennedy Center Heart". You REALLY should have seen Stairway to Heaven done LIVE at Madison Square Garden 1973. Thats the viral clip. A LZ live reaction video would be nice to see on your chanel. "A Whole Lotta Love" should be your next reaction (the official video). Im new so not sure what youve reacted to. "Black Dog" is another popular hit. Both songs are hype with beats. This reaction video was nice and having the trees in the background and the birds chirping loudly behind you with a cat at the end walking past all while "Stairway to Heaven" was playing was epic. Just perfect. Finally, every band member in the group is known to be the best. Drummer, base guitar, lead guitar and singer. Jimmy page (lead guitar) has a lot of jealous icons. He also formed the band. I 'scribed to your channel. Love REAL reaction videos. Thanks for that.
I love how you're out in nature feeling this one for the first time. You seem like a good person, you be you!
Wish I could go back to being 11, sneaking my my friends older brother’s album into the living room, listening to this for the first time again.
