And in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on....
It's been written that Led Zeppelin meant pretty much nothing by the mysterious lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven." But after I saw this random video featuring Jack Nicholson demonstrating an hydrogen powered automobile, and a fairly extensive business plan to develop safe hydrogen power resources across America, suddenly it had some meaning for me. How is it that this plan simply evaporated? I hate to be paranoid, but I can imagine those little old oil companies might have had a hand in that.
Ooh, it makes me wonder....

Below: lyrics and a great 1973 YouTube clip of Led Zeppelin doing their best thing the best way they know how."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, 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
and it makes me wonder 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, yeah To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying the stairway to heaven
