ALINE HAPP hat mit ihrem Lyria Gitarristen Rod Wolf eine Celtic Folk Version des Led Zeppelin Klassikers `Stairway to Heaven` aufgenommen. Am 31. Mai erscheint ihr erstes Soloalbum “ Branching Out”. Im Rahmen ihrer Crodfunding Aktion wurde der Song von Fans ausgewählt und von ihr in den typischen etherischen Sound verpackt .
ALINE schreibt dazu:
“Hey, guys! Stairway to Heaven is a song that transcends genres and generations. It is song that combines Celtic, Folk and Rock music, something that I’ve been doing a lot here.
Stairway to Heaven is a complex and captivating composition that takes the listener on a journey of sound and emotion. The song is also a lyrical puzzle that invites the listener to explore their own meaning and interpretation. None of the interpretations are right or wrong. So, I hope you enjoy the song and get some inspiration or reflection from it.
The lyrics could be a criticism of the materialism and selfishness of people, that believe they can buy happiness and salvation. The lyrics can also be a metaphor for the journey of the meaning of life and the connection with the divine. The woman in the song represents this quest, which involves different stages and challenges. She starts with a materialistic and limited view of reality, but gradually opens up to other dimensions and possibilities.
The song encourages the listener to seek their own truth and to be open to different perspectives and experiences, celebrating the beauty, the mystery of life and the power of music to connect us all.”

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
Ooh ooh ooh 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
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
Oh whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh
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
And there’s still time to change the road you’re on
And it makes me wonder
Oh, whoa
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, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven
