The Rolling Stones Lyrics

    ------ About the song 2000 Light Years From Home performed by The Rolling Stones

A different approach for blues/rock artists ,The Rolling Stones. Previous reviews have been unfavorable. Yet, that was 1967 " The Summer Of Love. That seemed to be the trend. The album was actually a very refreshing change. I thought the songs were great. " 2000 Light Years From Home " is a very unique song and a personal favorite. A listen to this album is like going back in time to a very enlightening era in music and culture. The album cover with Brian Jones along with the art work is very spot on with 1967 the year of The Monterey Pop and Jazz Festival.A must have for tried and true fans of The Rolling Stones...

    ------ About the song Carol performed by The Rolling Stones

I really love this version of "Carol". All my Rock-n-Roll listening life, which started in the mid-60's, I had always been a bigger fan of the Beatles. Now, I've noticed I listen to The Stones a lot more than I do the Beatles. Still love the Fab Four but, the Rolling Stones are now my favorite group of all time.

    ------ About the song Wild Horses performed by The Rolling Stones

I'm sorta irritated by all the comments about Susan Boyles version and how wonderful and touching it was. This song is a beautiful and touching rock performance. The Rolling Stones perfected this song and created a hauntingly beautiful memoir of tough love and outstanding persistence. Wild Horses, while melancholy and nostalgic is a song about love and pain. Isn't that what love is all about? Going through pain with someone, getting angry and fighting and passion, but knowing you would never want to do that with someone else. That those "wild horses couldn't drag [you] away". Lets leave the praise where it belongs, this song is a Rolling Stones masterpiece.

    ------ About the song Child Of The Moon performed by The Rolling Stones

Considered as candidate for a single release in early 1968but JJFlash took it's place. Rumor is that it's Brian Jones on open tuned electric guitar. It would be great to hear a live version but never played live, why??

    ------ About the song You Can't Always Get What You Want performed by The Rolling Stones

I'm listening to this song, I just had to admit to myself that this person I'd been trying to get to go out with me, won't. But as far as her being there as a friend, she's exactly what I needed to stay above ground during a very dark time in my life.

    ------ About the song Gimme Shelter performed by The Rolling Stones

This song has a spiritual content to it.
Whatever Mick an Keith were thinking at the time only they know.
But for me, the first 4 line of the song are most important.
I could write them on a book marker in my BIBLE. NO KIDDING!

    ------ About the song Sympathy For The Devil performed by The Rolling Stones

This song is about how HUMANS are the ones who are subjected to evil while ironically and tragically the creators of it. We cant understand why we would do something so hurtful, unforgiveable, and damaging to ourselves. So out of the mental and emotional coping of our psychosis we illude. We illude a character and villain to place the blame on: Lucifer...the devil. But really...its us. The human race must admit its insane. So that we mat begin to heal and cure ourselves. We are the only ones responsible foer the things we do to eachother. There is no such thing as evil, only beauty.

    ------ About the song Street Fighting Man performed by The Rolling Stones

Perhaps it is so because the newsmedia cartels who have taken over all coverage of rock music worldwide, make up a lot of garbage to big-note themselves in their gold-plated penthouses which compare no relevance at all to street level rock-n-roll reality.

In Swinging London in the 1960s, rock-n-roll was for the working class and poor. As there were no affluent, intellectual jobs for the poor boy he of course took up playing in rock-n-roll bands as a career.

This is what I did in Belfast and I didn't get such insight from heeding any big global newsmedia cartels. We had no money (poor) and no education and so I played in rock-n-roll bands in Belfast all through the 1960s as a "career" (what career?)

How did Belfast compare to LA? I don't know I was never in LA. Maybe like a grave-yard with lights as one Belfast rhythm-n-blues head (of initials GS) so aptly put it.

I don't give this in Jane Austen language either as we never spoke Jane Austen and certainly not when referring to 1968:

Verse 1 means:

I see all this stuff about student demonstrations going on around the world on television.

But what else can a poor boy do to support them other than by speaking from his "career" (he has no money and no education) in a rock-n-roll band?

Verse 2 means:

Time for a violent revolution because the only thing offered to students is compromise.

A working class boy is too poor and uneducated to be hob-nobbing with 'the man'
or any compromise.

But what else can a poor boy do to support them other than by speaking from his "career" (he has no money and no education) in a rock-n-roll band?

Verse 3 means:

This is one of these educational "Tale of Two Cities" (London and Paris) sort of things.

Here's to the French Revolution when King Louis met his fate and to the French student demonstrations in Paris in 1968.

But what else can a poor boy do to support them other than by speaking from his "career" (he has no money and no education) in a rock-n-roll band?

    ------ About the song Claudine performed by The Rolling Stones

Written by Mick about the infamous shooting of skiing star Spier Sabich's shooting 'in self defense', by French movie star/model/Andy Williams ex, Claudine Longet. It was recored at the Emotion Rescue sessions, and slated to be on the album until legal concerns kept it officially 'under wraps' for years - even though it was a staple of just about every bootleg collection from the era.

It was finally given a well deserved release as part of the the Some Girls Bonus disc. Another example of how The Stones would have made a very fine country group, if given the chance. This almost defines the term, 'barrel-house rocker, with rollicking guitar, an unrelenting beat by Bill and Charlie, and sardonic Jagger lyrics.

    ------ About the song 2000 Man performed by The Rolling Stones

Satanic Majesties is THE conundrum in the Stones catalog to this day - most of the time it has some brilliant underrated moments. Other times, it has a couple of the most AWFUL moments as well (can anyone say, "Sing this All Together (see what happens??). This certainly is stunning in the way Jagger accurately predicts the boomer lifestyle in the 2000s,
