EXTD=Introduction to Stairways To Heaven\n\n\nby Andrew Denton\n\nThe Stai
EXTD=rway Project commenced in the winter of 1989. It was an\nattempt 
EXTD=to capture, in the words of musical director Chris\nHarriott, "ev
EXTD=ery facet of the greatest song ever written. We were\ntrying to l
EXTD=ook at the same some twenty different ways at once. It\nwas, if y
EXTD=ou will, musical Cubism."\n\nWhen word got out about The Project, 
EXTD=the musical world beat a\npath to Harriott's door. By the start o
EXTD=f the first recording session\nhe and producer Keith Walker had l
EXTD=istened to over 2,000 demo\ntapes, many of them from the world's 
EXTD=leading artists.\n\n"What amazed me most was the extraordinary ran

EXTD=he world like a\nwhale being tortured with a drum machine. It too

EXTD=entire original\nversion, added a rhythm track and screamed "Ice!
EXTD=" in the quiet\nbits. Andrew Ridgely just sent a photo of himself
EXTD= and said he'd be\nhappy to appear in the clip."\n\nSays Harriott; 
EXTD="every time we rejected someone it was like killing\na very ugly 
EXTD=baby - unpleasant, but something that had to be done."\n\nSome of 
EXTD=the rejections make a veritable Who's Who of rock &\nroll. Explai

EXTD=words. Shame McGowan of the Pogues couldn't\nremember his name! P

EXTD= tie off.\n\nOthers still, according to Harriott, failed the taste

EXTD=In the end, after months of painstaking, brain-deadening labour,
EXTD=\nHarriott and Walker settled on 22 acts. "They were the best of 
EXTD=the\nbest", says Harriott, "the artists most capable of being tru

EXTD=we walked into the studio that first\nmorning to put down Rolf Ha

EXTD=sure\nAll that glitters is gold\nAnd she's buying a stairway to he
EXTD=aven\nWhen she gets there she knows\nIf the stores are all closed\n
EXTD=With a word she can get what she came for\nOoh, ooh and she's buy

EXTD=ts to be sure\n'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings\n
EXTD=In a tree by the brook\nThere's a song bird who sings\nSometimes a

EXTD=makes me wonder\n\nThere's a feeling I get when I look to the west
EXTD=\nAnd my spirit is crying for leaving\nIn my thought I have seen \n
EXTD=Rings of smoke through the trees\nAnd the voices of those who sta
EXTD=nd looking\nOoh, it makes me wonder\nOoh, it really makes me wonde
EXTD=r\n\nAnd it's whispered that soon\nIf we all call the tune\nThat the
EXTD= piper will lead us to reason\nAnd a new day will dawn\nFor those 
EXTD=who stand long\nAnd the forest will echo with laughter\nIf there's
EXTD= a bustle in your hedgerow\nDon't be alarmed now\nIt's just a spri
EXTD=ng clean for the May queen.\n\nYes, there are two paths you can go
EXTD= by\nBut in the long run\nThere's still time to change the road yo

EXTD=rway lies on the whispering wind\nAnd as we wind on down the road
EXTD=\nOur shadows taller than our soul\nThere walks a lady we know\nWho
EXTD= shines white light and wants to show\nHow everything still turns
EXTD= to gold\nAnd if you listen very hard\nThe tune will come to you a
