The French have a phrase "The Spirit Of The Stairway" (In French: Esprit d'Escalier). It means the moment when you find the answer, but it's too late.
You're at a party and someone insults you. You have to say something. So under pressure, with everybody watching, you say something lame. But the moment you leave the party?
As you start down the stairway, then - magic. You come up with the perfect thing you should've said. The perfect crippling put-down. That's the spirit of the stairway.

A song released by Led Zeppelin in the early 1970s. It is the greatest song that ever came into this world. Not to mention a great stress reducer.

i) A very popular song by Led Zeppelin, released in 1971
ii) A sex position done on a staircase (often in a pool). The woman lies on the stairs, with all but her neck area above water (if in a pool), while her partner fucks her. The moving water is very pleasing for women.

The song by Led Zeppelin that has the impossible quality of being the greatest rock-and-roll song of all time but somehow not Led Zeppelin's best song, which instead is Kashmir.
Classic Rock radio station: Once again, Stairway to Heaven has been voted the best song of all time.
Led Zeppelin fan: All of Zep's songs are great, but if I had to choose just one as my favorite, I'd say Kashmir.

The most gorgeous song done by Led Zeppelin. While the guitar chords are simple, it is composed brilliantly.
I believe stairway to heaven refers to a lady's greed leading to her demise. Much of the song refers to capitalism (western civilizaiton) and money in a negative light.

There's a lady whose sure
All that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a feeling I get, when I look to the West/ and my spirit is crying for leaving.

Stairway to Heaven, the guitarists 'Chopsticks'
By the great Led Zeppelin. Great to listen to, great to play (just don't do it in a guitar store, you won't make it out alive)
Also a great stoner track.
