Yeah, we should all settle and just be glad that someone can put up with us. That worked out so well for the previous generation. To me this song explains why almost everybody I know from my parent’s generation is stuck in an emotional and sexual purgatory.

Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got someone else at home
who needs me just as much
And are you wrong to to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don’t wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don’t wanna be right

I would like to point out that it is literally impossible to build a Stairway to Heaven. Especially, as they claim, a stairway that is supported by wind. Stairways need solid support all the way up to their destination…trust me my friend builds staircases.
I would also like to make an observation in the spirit of all classic movies and music being remade/covered nowadays. In todays world if this song was remade I’m pretty sure they would change it to the Escalator to Heaven. People are too lazy to walk up all those stairs
I don’t feel bad for the narrator of “Maggie May” at all.
“I suppose I could collect my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy’s cue and make a living at playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand”
So he dropped out of school to shack up with an older woman with relationship issues. And he thinks these are three equally viable life choices to get out of his current predicament. I’m sure his entire life is filled with poor decisions. Time to man up and quit being a stupid kid.
