Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin joins the Rocktober Music Fest

Once again, I’m using this week’s art prompt, LEGENDS, for inspiration in my daily song feature. There are songs penned about actual gruesome crimes but I didn’t want to stroll down that avenue and decided to go with urban legends surrounding popular songs. 

According to this Internet source, ‘Stairway to Heaven’ has a dark story

Many conspiracy theorists believe that in Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven, there is a satanic message. When played forward, the verse goes:
“If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now. Its just a spring clean for the May Queen. Yes there are two paths you can go down, but in the long run. There’s still time to change the road you’re on.”  When played backwards, it allegedly says:
“Oh hears to my Sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad whose power is Satan. He’ll give you 666. There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer Sad Satan.”

You’d think with a myth like this it makes more sense if it were tagged to Highway to Hell. *think. think. think* With that, let’s listen to a not so scary sounding song, Stairway to Heaven!

That’s a wrap for now. I invite to visit JingleJangleJungle to join the party. It’s never too late to get in on the action. Until next time… rock on, ghouls and guys! X💋X💋, Cathy
