Over the years, it has received numerous accolades including induction into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2003.
And while the meaning behind the lyrics are open to interpretation, almost everyone recognizes the opening guitar solo and lyrics.
“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”

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”
