Stairway to Hell - Ooh, it makes me wonder!
Share
I love to tinker with famous song titles. The first words "Stairway to..." immediately let people exclaim "heaven." But there is yet another parallel between my song and the famous Led Zeppelin rock ballad. The second parallel is in the cover art of the 1971's song ("Led Zeppelin IV" album). Both covers use the "picture in the picture" effect. But with the switching of the words and the sharing of the visual setup, the parallel ends.
Inspired by the mythic weight of Led Zeppelin’s legendary composition, my reinterpretation flips the spiritual ascent into an inward spiral. But “Stairway to Hell” isn’t fire and brimstone — it’s personal. The music and the video take you on a surreal, self-reflective journey down the shadowed stairway of memory and fear. With each step taken, you're confronted by fragments of your past — regrets, lost chances, unresolved voices — while the walls echo with doubts about the future.
A "walking bass" theme leads you all the way.
A piano tells you the story.
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
