Welcome to Gaia! ::

For a while, people have been debating over one song and it's subliminal message. Some say that CD's are meant to be played regularly and "enjoy" what it brings. But, either way, there is a message people do not want being heard or played on air. This song is known as Led Zepelin's ( sp? ) Stairway To Heaven. The song's name throws people off, and the lyrics are supposed to make the song sound good, but if you really pay attention to the lyrics and do research on it, you'll see that, even though there is a subliminal message, the message lies in the original song as well.

I learned about this song about a month ago from a friend at church. He says that this song is the most popular rock song, and that in most every guitar shop, you will hear it being played. He plays the electric guitar, and he was going to play that song, but he says that God told him not to play it, and he did what God said.

If anyone can provide me with the lyrics, please post them, and I can further the message by explaining the lyrics.

It is a good song, but I would not see it in church becuase it is about(least form what I get from the song) is a women who thinks she can buy anything she wants.

Now I like Bon Jovi's song "Livin On a Prayer"

You guys are absolutely right. It's not only their song "Stairway to Heaven", but also "Rock and Roll". I bought a two disc set of their greatest hits (15 bucks at my local Walmart). The minute that song come on, I wanted to buy a Cadillac.

You guys are nuts.

Btw. That man "pointing down" is Robert Plant. He moves his hands a little like Jack Sparrow in the music videos. That's all that is.

And umm...I'm not in the habit of playing my songs backwards looking for a demonic message. If I want to hear one, I'll go visit my grandmother razz

Against, but in the nicest way possible ^_^.

Sounds like DMX is playing church. I wonder what he would say if I told him his spirital father is the devil?

What about christian songs that are not Bibical? The old gossipal song "I'll Fly Away" goes aginst Ezekiel 13:20 teaching about flying away.

Wasn''t the song "I''ll Fly away" made in the slavery days?

Just wondering, I dunno if it was, but if it was, I would probably be right there, pickin'' cotton, singin'' that song to my Lord.

XD

And yes Rock and Rap can be evil. But so can art, and ourselves, and water.
Water isn''t inherently evil, but you can sure drown someone in it can''t ya?

Anyways, I can get what you''re saying, and I''m not saying you''re right or wrong, just explaining what I think.

I know music is God''s invention and God''s creation, and satan tries to pervert, twist, and manipulate everything that God created and loves. And, with satan having the background of music, what better thing to twist than music?

I think it''s interesting how you could come up with this man, I mean, secular music can so be easily twisted for satan''s purposes and I can see how his influence (the pointing down and pipe piper thing) can come out without the artist himself knowing it.

I know that there are rap artists who will smoke weed and do drugs until they get a song. Then in that state, the devil can easily give them a beat that will be emmencely popular.

Personally, off the discussion topic, I feel like the only music genre that can''t really be used for Christ (I''m still figuring this out because God made music) is hip-hop. And that''s only because it''s a religion claiming that the black man is God. In which...yikes. XD

Anyways, I can also see how the artist has a Jack Sparrow thing goin'' on. Just keep in mind that it''s secular music that we''re discussing.

You know hwat though. In concerns with "subliminal" messages. It could very well be the artists themselves have nothing to do with this. It could be people working for record companies who slide this in while editing/production.. and the artists have no idea. and, they probably have already signed away their ability to fight back when they joined the label as it was probably in fine writing on their contracts.. because when people are all excited about getting signed.. they don't bother to read all of it.

but for that matter, I have heard it said among conspiracy theorist circles that tv has tons of subliminal imagery which for some people is a million times more influential with them than just listening to music. because what some people see.. sticks in their brain longer than what htey hear.

but this could very easily be ultimately reduced to the same issues we talked about in Topaz's becareful of stuff you have in your house discussion. Like how some anime/posters/materials may have spirits attached to them. Don't think that stuff you listne to or watch don't have them also. I mean.. you ever wonder what it is about horror films htat really get ot people. why is it that those images haunt those people? same thing. I know there were a few movies the first few times I saw them affected me in a severely adverse way. number one example was fifth element. first three times i saw in theater. From the part where the opera was going on... it'd trigger something in me that would make me feel depressed and irritable. i'd start crying for no good reason at all and cry for hours.

some friends couldn't figure out what it was until the third time we saw it. and one friend thought that while i couldn't with my ears understand that song... my soul could understand it and it made my soul wrenched with sorrow at hearing it.
