Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we're in a disposable world and 'Stairway to Heaven' is one of the things that hasn't quite been thrown away yet.
The direction for my music is heaven, of course. We gear all things to the realm of heaven - which is the mind, the organized mind.
For 'Narrow Stairs', the majority of the songs I brought in were guitar songs - songs we could sit in a room and just play. I can honestly say I had more fun and felt more inspired on this record than anything that we had done in a long time.
Music, the greatest good that mortals know and all of heaven we have hear below.
People that love this form of music have loved it from way back - Sabbath, Zeppelin, the early days.
Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
This is what I want in heaven... words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.
Regardless of who originally made it popular, any hit song becomes a challenge to the ingenuity and imagination of other musicians and performers.
We went through this business of me writing out all the parts for these old songs from Gravity and Speechless and we'd been performing that, but we don't do that any more.
Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.
