Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven


一部講Led Zeppelin早期奮鬥歷程的紀錄片將是他們入行50週年紀念活動的一部份

  這片子尚未命名,目前還在後製中,故事從1968 -1970年講起,當時他們的第二張專輯在Billboard 200專輯排行榜取代了The Beatles披頭合唱團的Abbey Road,登了排行榜冠軍。

  這片子有還在世的Led Zeppelin團員新的訪問,他們是吉它手Jimmy Page,主唱Robert Plant與貝斯手 John Paul Jones,另外也將已故鼓手John Bonham的訪問剪進去,這片子自誇前所未有地由團員們以他們自己的語言口述Led Zeppelin的故事,沒有外人的說詞或意見在內。

  這片子中有以前沒有公開過的照片和影片,也有錄音室及舞台上工作時的自然音,工作人員是擔任美國公共電視音樂之根源系列節目得過獎的製作團隊American Epic,包括編導Bernard MacMahon

  Page表示當他看到Bernard在視像與音感的處理都非常有他們團隊的水準,他覺得Bernard有資格說他們的故事。

  Jones加碼說這是適當的時刻用他們自己的語言去說他們的故事,他覺得這紀錄片將真實地將故事深植心中。

  有消息透露Led Zeppelin紀錄片將在五月14日坎城影展時兜售。

  硬式搖滾樂團Led Zeppelin組團於英國,1973年首度到美國巡迴演唱曾打破多項紀錄,鼓手John Bonham1980年九月去世時才33歲,當年底該團就宣告解散,Led Zeppelin前九張專輯在美國賣了九千多萬張,2005年他們獲得Grammy終生成就獎。

  Led Zeppelin不是一個可用排行榜名次評估的搖滾樂團,他們1971年推出的Stairway To Heaven是他們第四張專輯裡的歌,從未推出單曲唱片,但卻是滾石雜誌500大歌曲榜第31名的名曲,樂評人皆以史詩般的內涵形容這首歌,可以說團員們將他們每個人的藝術天份在歌中完全發揮。
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Stairway to Heaven
Led Zeppelin
Songwriters: Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

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
Oh oh oh oh 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 misgiving
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 standing 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 the stairway to heaven
