Okay, I totally did this just to make people laugh, and I think it falls safely into the "parody" category because the chords are different, the chord progression is different and the melody is different, the meter is mostly different, and the syllabic count is mostly different, although in a few bars they are close. However, if anyone thinks I have "gone too far" let me know. I see it as "reminiscent of" but tell me if I am wrong.  STAIRWAY TO SOMEWHEREhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/stairway-to-somewhereSTAIRWAY TO SOMEWHERE V1 I can see with my Druid eyes That the green trees have not died In the dark forests of old In the Dragon’s Shire And a new day will soon belong For those who still still sing the sacred song As they swim in the silver stream Of believing And the oceans will dream Of a new world not seen But reveals everything We are thinking OH… Ch 1 So we’re searching the mist For what is left there And we’re dreaming of a stairway to somewhere V2 And we will meet at the June fair In the sixth month of May Though it makes sense to say This has no meaning But the jester will play And the druids will pray And the maids will give theirs For the milking In the mists of Avalon The angel fairies sing a song And they say that the evening Is dawning OH V3 And the sky is upside down And the queen wears the crown Of the king who gave his To the jester OH V4 So a bright light will surely shine On the road to the Wizard’s shrine Where the princess gives birth To the morning And then a new day will come To those who come from That dark castle we knew Before forgetting OH SOLO CH Ch 2 So we’re searching the mist For what is left there And we’re dreaming of a stairway to somewhere So we’re searching the mist For what is left there And we’re dreaming of a stairway to somewhere dreaming of a stairway to somewhere All music and lyrics copyright 2024 by David Snyder, ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder: Vocals, Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Lead Guitar, Lead Guitar Solo, Orchestration, Additional instrumentation, Mixing, Mastering, Production and Engineering RealTracks in style: 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 RealDrums in style:Folk16thsSlowBrushes^06-a:Brushes, Kick 1 , b:Brushes, Kick 2 RealTracks in style: ~~367:Guitar, Electric, Background Dreamy Ev 065 Other Real Drums: LA Rock Hard Thrash Rock Even Eight

There's a lot going on here musically.
Lyrically very imaginative too. You put some effort into it
Rest assured, David. It is different.
You sound like Neil Young going into the chorus.
Well did.

They spent their entire careers "borrowing"
This a nod and a tip of the hat.
And fully bathed in David Snyder.
A cool BIG sound.
And gettin' all Neil-ish at the end. He might come after you.
Good mix.
Well done.
Enjoyable.

Hi, David. Ha! Well done! Except for the cadence and the title, it bears little resemblance but still points to the source material - more Tolkien than Led Zeppelin. The only disappointment was the lack of a recorders in the arrangement. Now that would have been the cherry on top of the cherry on top.

Well, this may have been made for a laugh, but what a beautiful laugh it is indeed. Very interesting arrangement, and those guitars really sparkle. The fantastical lyrics are cool, and you crush the vocals. LOVE the guitar solo, too. And the mix is very open but full, if that makes sense. It's a real treat to listen to this... Of course, I could have just said "epic and legendary!" because it is. But Bob got there first.

David, this is fantastic.
Loved those lyrics: how did you come up with them?
Great vocal and guitar
Super mix

David,
Well, I'm delighted that stairway found a detour to my ears. Gotta gree with the previous Neil Young references.
Big, powerful song with marvelous production and delivery. Never a disappointment with your music.
Best to you.
Hope Helene didn't wreak havoc in your part of NC. Our heart & prayers are with those who have suffered.

HA! Did Davd go too far? I always felt you were sufficiantly farout, man, and I gave up long ago the notion to catch up. Yet I follow you wherever your music is available. This is crazy good. I particularlyy like the guitar solo. Stairway to Somewhere. Yeah, I'll follow you there first.

Thank you Floyd! I am glad you liked it! I was going more for Jimmy than Neil but either is fine.

Hey David, Well, I did have four bars of flute in the intro dude. Why is my fan base so hard to please? What do you people want? A triple album? A 15 minute guitar solo?? Leopard skin pants? No just kidding man, thanks for the listen!

Sounds vaguely familiar.... there's 4 notes in a row, and Mr Harrison only had 3 in a row..... litigation incoming....
What I have been unable to do to this point due to assorted and sundry other reasons, is to rip it or grab it and play it backwards in order to uncover the hidden demonic messages that are obviously lurking in the bowels of this composition. I'll save that for another day. With the warped mental thought process that you are known for, there are indeed some unique things in this.
You never fail to amaze.

Uh oh, Janice thinks Bud is having a flashback. 🤣
Far out, David!
As floyd said, "And gettin' all Neil-ish at the end. He might come after you."
Be careful.
Fun!

Jester Snyder succeeds again with his Druid eyes! You never seem to run out of ideas, this is both funny and very seriously folky at the same time. I enjoyed the acoustic start develop to the big and powerful orchestration and then back to the cool stairway. Great solo!! And the drums sound nicely heavy during it. And all is crowned by the excellent vocal performance in this darker than dark castle! I'm still smiling for this flow of originality and creativity. Evening is definitely dawning Janne

Oh, David, you always go too far.  I had a big grin on my face reading/listening to the lyrics/ Awesome guitar solo. Great parody.

That was fun - a parody without paradiddles.
The jester really hits his straps with the interesting strings at 2.15.
I'm not keen on the Led Zep thing. I made a CD of the album with that song excised and it's a far, far better rock record as a result.
The bends early on in the solo are classics.
I had a listening laugh but am also impressed with the actual hook line
"And we’re dreaming of a stairway to somewhere" because it's true.
Cheers

Cool tune David. That song reminded me of a song from my youth but just cant put my finger on it ;-). Super vocal and lyric. Excellent band. Robert and I have one coming soon that may dabble on the edge of getting a finger waved at us. All in good fun
