I walked around, and I couldn't actually believe, I couldn't take people seriously who could come up with sketches like that. The first time I heard it was early in the morning when I was living at home, and I heard it on a news program. Robert Plant addressed the issue in an interview with Musician magazine: "'Stairway To Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music. In his books, Crowley advocated that his followers learn to read and speak backwards. This is rumored to contain backward satanic messages, as if Led Zeppelin sold their souls to the devil in exchange for "Stairway To Heaven." Supporting this theory is the fact that Jimmy Page bought Aleister Crowley's house in Scotland, known as Boleskine House. Bands would go there to get some privacy and focus on songwriting, as the biggest distractions were the sheep and other wildlife. Headley Grange may not be as enchanting as Bron-yr-Aur, but the place had some character: It was a huge, old, dusty mansion with no electricity but great acoustics. Plant corroborated the story in his testimony.

Page told a different story under oath: When he was called to the stand in 2016 as part of a plagiarism trial over this song, he said that he wrote the music on his own and first played it for his bandmates at Headley Grange in Liphook Road, Headley, Hampshire, where they recorded it using a mobile studio owned by The Rolling Stones. Page sometimes told a story of the pair sitting by a fire at the cabin as they composed it, a tale that gives the song a mystical origin story, as there could have been spirits at play within those walls. Page and Plant explained that they started working on it at a 250-year-old Welsh cottage called Bron-yr-Aur, where they wrote the songs for Led Zeppelin III. In October 1970, after about 18 months of near constant touring, the song took shape.

By April, he was telling journalists that their new song might be 15-minutes long, and described it as something that would "build towards a climax" with John Bonham's drums not coming in for some time. Jimmy Page would work on the song in an 8-track studio he had installed in his boathouse, trying out different sections on guitar.

I think the line about 'you've gone and changed your name again' means she has re-married.Led Zeppelin started planning "Stairway" in early 1970 when they decided to create a new, epic song to replace " Dazed And Confused" as the centerpiece of their concerts. To me this song is to an ex-girlfriend explaining why they broke up but he is saying that he still loves her and wants to be in touch again to 'laugh and cry' about the past because so much time has passed they should be able to now.

The first verse is explaining how he thinks of himself as a ‘gypsy boy’ a free spirit who has no material home until the day when he submitted to her and let her take him home and look after him. The second verse is saying how he loved this life but it wasn’t how he wanted to live and there were more important things for him to be doing rather than just being happy and loved up. I think he felt she was smothering him and making him lose sight of his original goals and the path he was on to begin with. I think the relationship ended because he felt he was being tied down: 'you held on to me like i was a crucifix' and 'your fine spiderweb fastening my ankle to a stone' and he woke up one morning feeling alone and isolated. That’s just my interpretation but whatever it means it is a lovely song! I have absolutely no idea what the last 2 lines mean tho ‘…to wash my eyelids in the rain’ !! He blamed her for the way he felt and was ‘cold as a new razor blade’ to her so eventually she left. The most beautiful thing in this song, to me, is the absence of bitterness, even if the relationship has ended. In fact, he's asking that they should "laugh and cry" about all of it, like two old friends would over childhood memories. The song begins with how they were at the beginning reading palms by the window, growing out of his Gypsy boy phase.
