Latte no sugar

Stairway To Heaven是搖滾史上紅遍全世界的其中之一，由齊柏林飛船 ( Led Zeppelin ) 樂團的主吉他手 吉米·佩奇 ( Jimmy Page ) 製作，發行時間1971年，這首史詩級的歌曲中譯意思是「通往天堂的階梯」，有一種好像準備要去見上帝或神明的感覺，當然歌詞富含文學氣息，但是詞意本身是偏正面或負面就不太好去判斷，有人說具有正面寓意描述一位女士的膚淺虛榮、有人則說歌詞看起來像是在形容吸毒，更是有網友指出倒帶播放的Stairway To Heaven像是在歌頌崇拜撒旦，這麼有爭議性的歌曲，居然在2000年千禧年列為世界上最偉大的搖滾歌曲之一，跟多數有名氣的搖滾歌曲真的是有過之無不及。

這首歌主要分成三個段落，前奏由橫笛及木吉他演奏前半段，中半段開始加入敲擊樂，接著轉入電吉他solo (這邊Live版本的是Jimmy Page最屌的solo片段)，solo完之後進入後半段，主唱勞勃·普蘭特 ( Robert Plant ) 開始展現他的高音嗓子，後半段是最高潮的部分，整首歌的張力非常完美，雖然這首歌時間長達8分鐘，但是每個細節都絲毫不拖泥帶水，絕對膾炙人心。

英國廣播公司BBC採訪Jimmy Page長達8分多鐘的片段，Jimmy Page悠然思索地介紹他是如何製作出Stairway To Heaven這首經典不滅的搖滾歌曲
