Stairway to Heaven -- Lissie ( cover of Led Zeppelin classic )

[OptimusPounds]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Lissie is one of the most underrated artists of the modern era. Her raspy, unrelenting deliver is unparalleled in the modern pop era of tongue choking music like Ke$ha and Minaj. Her talent is so far above and beyond pop radio I hope that she just sticks to her core being and produces music to those of us that follow her. Hell yes, Lissie. Rock on.

I usually avoid covers of this song, Ann and Nancy Wilson won't even touch this one, but some reason I gave this band a chance at it and I was pleasantly surprised.

[mrwasanisong]

No top comment?!?! Now's my chance!

I like turtles!

[Slacker1967]

Great cover. Well done Lissie and the band.

[SportzFan544]

greatest song in all time ... and great cover ! omg

[nine8nine1]

you don't choose to cover Stairway to Heaven, the song itself chooses you. You deserve it Lissie. Great Cover.

Bass Jesus just made playing the recorder infinitely cooler. If I knew that 30 years ago in primary school when I was attempting to master "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe", I would have taken it a little more seriously :-(

[jorgetheleader]

i know that's a les paul he's using, but what kind? its almost as sexy as lissie haha

[LuBeatle7]

wow

[23kessuki]

INCREDIBLE!!!!

[nisim777]

What I love about Lissie is that she has learned to embrace her own voice instead of trying to make it something it's not.

[BrestBoY1]

Thumbs up if you don't watch the Ads at the beginning ;)

[songpool5]

I love at the beginning when the recorder player hits a wrong note and she smiles. great rendition

[V12Turbo1]

i feel so inspired by this to make music

[ZoomerEtc1]

Your the best!!

[Ndakota238]

they even have Jesus playin on panpipe! 

[desertdaddio]

I've been impressed before. But now, i'm even more impressed. This band is awesome!

[NeoZod19]

@desertdaddio me too! 2 thumbs way UP!!

[Gators9518]

Lissie is awesome but her band needs to get more credit the guitarist is insane live and the bass/drummer well enough said

[scottyphilosophy]

The way rock and roll was meant to be. Nuff said!

[ekib21]

Beautiful song, Beautiful singer. What else can i say. Loved it!

[Kekkeyu]

Why does nobody honor the bassist?

That dude is playing flute, singing, drumming with both feet and playing bass.

Nearly every guitarist can play stairway to heaven, but who can play the bass, the flute and the drums (at the same time!)?

[b1unt3d]

@Kekkeyu That's not a flute.. it's a fucking recorder hahaa

[kaitlynayates]

@TheatreofthemindMTV why because she isn't orange with fried unnatural colored hair? she's as beautiful as beautiful gets, tell me a musical artist out there who doesn't sell themselves looking like something their not. realness is beauty and she is chalk fucking full of it, not artificial shit like the rest of them.

[TheatreofthemindMTV]

Wow. Really? People think she's hot? She's a good musician, but she's ugly as fuck :L

[ShelbyZombiee]

@TheatreofthemindMTV well you, my friend, are a superficial fuck.

[TheatreofthemindMTV]

@ShelbyZombiee Mate, I be trollin.

[MegaPirates11]

Lissie please go on americas got talent

[myfuckingcookies]

@MegaPirates11 She's had a record deal for years dude.

[cautionhorsey]

@MegaPirates11 That would be going back wards for Lissie

[Drakeman2003]

vocals are awesome, just about everythings awesome here!

[iatecarrot]

the guitarist is incredible

[MadMellotron]

love the last part 7:04 n 7:18 she didn't nailed the notes and just laughs at it. it's like she pulled a prank on her kid brother and got away with it ^_^

i think this is the only Stairway to Heaven cover that i honestly like the rest are annoying.

hope she perform/record a better one.

and the soprano recorder, bass guitar, bass drum - snare - crash played by one man... good stuff!

[miguelthedog]

Very good and Lissie is sooo hot.

[nashomba]

@peralta2944 No es necesario.

[Littlek183]

i would be more nervous if i was the guitarist. jimmy page is one hell of a guitarist to cover. they did great though!

[sprucka1]

This is a great cover!

[MrAsbestosfish]

I dig Lissie but this was a little to clean for me...muddy it up a little...too produced.

[Chinve]

while i was watching this, A BIG smile appears on my face!

i love u lissie <3

[annieyaya92]

That moment when you feel nervous about watching/hearing ANY Led Zeppelin cover but then you realize it's Lissie and relax.

:]

[TheKISH9]

she did mess the ending up a little but ah well, no1 can do this song perfect!

[TheKISH9]

HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE BEST COVER I'VE SEEN OF THIS SONG!

[geraint102]

love this cover 10/10

[Rob128128]

I love you girl. You´re amazing.

[southwestcoyote]

I learned of Lissie from her work with DJ Morgan Page on "Fight For You". Few, very few, can cover this Zeppelin classic successfully. This woman nails it. I actually like it better than the original.

[2flambeedfritos]

Great cover and voice!

[trendkill84]

Immense!



[thierrydelnatte]

Great

[1gutenberg]

j'<3

[boodrow24m]

F'in awesome!!!

[dkalmann]

good stuff! thanks!

[MrSocius]

i think we have to be open to bind the wounds of capital and religion

[MrSocius]

is that petrucci on the bass

[guitargenius1234]

Why is Russel Brand playing the recorder?

[phockenphreezen]

excellent cover, a very big compliment to all involved, thank you.

[OafHuckoff]

WoW . . Just WOW, your all truly amazing people.It's awesome that some people in this world still have a true feeling for real music. I'm in awe

[poshspicexx]

This is a beatiful song btw im not a led zepplin fan so i think its so pretty :)

[blues2oo]

this is so weak and generic that is painful to watch. Nice try though.

[chri095k]

Please spell zeppelin correct...

[Birdo661]

No Stairway to heaven!!!!

[concreteXwater]

Only cover of this tune that I have ever liked. Very nicely done, Lissie

[Benbanme]

u have a higher quality recording? :( this is too small for an eargasm

[11milleran]

@Benbanme

Pfft. FLAC FTW!

[DuffyDidItTwice]

Great cover, wonderful recording and vocals along with both the bass player and guitarist.

[EcreipHaras]

Wow. This is a really good cover

[LattoUdek]

beside all the honor to jesus and lissie, we shouldnt forget ,what an amazing tune that guitarguy delivered...great band!

[gerty94]

she looks really hippe :D

[ftwopointeight]

The bass player is driving me insane with his talent. He can play the bass, work pedals for percussion, and sing. All at the same time!. Now he's here playing the flute as well. Good God man, you've got talent!

[giochi4]

@ftwopointeight Quite original. Never seen bass/drums before except in one-man-orchestras. Guess that means the cash is split 3 ways and not 4.

[declansAngel]

@ftwopointeight it's Jesus, dude. Jesus can do everything.

[rectify2003]

When did you record this?

[wesleynsouza]

She kick a lot of asses huaehauehaeu

[rob068]

There's still time to change the road you're on, Lissie.

[RobboPA1920]

wow

[rockstarta71]

great....:)

[srugirliegirl]

Her raw talent amazes me. I'm in musical love

[smalltounboy]

It would be great if she recorded this as a hidden track on her next album

[goutoveia]

what a great tribute to this song!!

[karkariafarhad]

This has such a Scarborough Fair feel to it.

[happyjohnondaweb]

And at exactly 7 minutes the hairs on the back of your neck rise all over again....just fantastic!

[rosskstar]

@happyjohnondaweb crap! ur right

[nobmouse]

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

[ZmajBosne]

COVER ALBUM, NOW!!

[george14789]

never thought i would hear such a fantastic recording of this fab famous record - it is so unique and cannot get enough of hearing this. i remember this first time around and time has stood still!!! - rock on

[BigOGinge]

Simply stunning....

[jonnyhomag]

absolutely love this, Lissie has got a fantastic way of putting so much emotion into any song that she sings. truly a legend and so very talented...love you Lissie and crew xx

[MrBanjoed]

This song is now nearly forty years old and looks to be around for a long time. It's about a woman who has accumulated money over the years but finds her life empty and with no meaning - "she's buying a stairway to Heaven".

[Tamagamoy]

Lissie was born Elisabeth Maurus in 1982 and is an American folk rock artist.

She released her debut EP, "Why You Runnin'", in November 2009. Her debut album, Catching a Tiger, was released in June 2010.
