The Rolling Stones - Angie

I´m sure I still love you

The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday

There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

The Rolling Stones - Sister Morphine

Lovely. There´s a song below, a perfect match to this pics









Sister Morphine

Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?

Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score

Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine, you better make up my bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the
Clean white sheets stained red.

The Rolling Stones - The Nearness Of You

The master, the guy who invented what you are doing right now, no matter what other people say.

Keith Richards Birthday

Today is a lovely day, but wait, I´m not a hippie who celebrate this kind of shit, I´m just saying one more time that the world has a legendary man, a anti hero god among us.

And you ask me why? That´s it, suck it.

Exile on Main Street

A little portuguese for my braqzilian friends.
Exile on main street - The Rolling Stones



Os Rolling Stones são a maior banda de rock que existiu, nasceram ao lado dos Beatles com quem foram comparados a vida toda, mas os Beatles eram uns almofadinhas metidos a intelectuais que usavam drogas, já os Stones não, eram o rock encarnado em 5 caras que destruiam tudo, não só fisicamente mas também afetavam psicologicamente as mentes dos mais afixionados por guitarra, usavam drogas em cima do palco, atraiam as melhores vadias e repeliam as piores “moças”, ou melhor, instigavam sexo, drogas e rock´n roll, quer mais o que?
Considero a discografia completa dos Stones como essencial para a vida de um apaixonado por bons sons, todos eles te ensinam algo, tem a sequencia dos seis discos que são obrigátorios, desde o “Their satanic majestic request”(1967) até o “Exile on main street”(1972), e este último é o motivo de eu estar aqui agora, é o mais fudido, um album duplo, foi lançado em 1972, pra mim o melhor ano da banda, onde eles conseguiram reunir tudo o que eles aprenderam de melhor naqueles dez anos iniciais de carreira, ano que as apresentações ao vivo eram incomparáveis, Mick Jagger arregaçava as calças em cima do palco, estilo stripper, Keith Richards guitarrava com sua telecaster cintura abaixo como se estivesse injetando heroína na platéia, Mick Taylor, um dos mais precisos guitarristas ingleses, Bill Wyman e Charlie Watts, imprecindíveis.
Mas vamos lá, o album foi gravado na França, pois eles fugiram dos altos impostos da Inglaterra na época, ai o nome “Exile on main street”, mas isso é só estória, o que interessa é o som, o disco contêm 18 faixas, começa com “Rocks Off” e “Rip Ths Joint” muito rock dançante envolvido, abre o disco furiosamente, não da pra ficar parado nem a pau, neste trabalho podemos observar uma maior influência de música americana bem rural indo além das suas influências tradicionais, Chuck Berry e o Blues elétrico de Chicago(Muddy Water e Elmore James), como em “Sweet Virginia”, “Ventilator Blues” e “Sweet Black Angel”, que é um puta lamento de arrepiar; contaram com a particiação de duas das meninas do trio de backing vocals, The BlackBerries(Venetta Fields e Clydie King), nas músicas “Tumbling dice”, maior hit do disco, “Just to Want to See his Face”, “Let it Loose” e “Shine a Light”, coisa mais linda.
Album produzido por Jimmy Miller, aka Mr. Jimmy, que sempre trabalhou com os Stones, sabia tudo de mixagem, tinha técnicas únicas, era percussionista, participou de muitos trabalhos e neste disco tocou na maioria das músicas, incluindo a batera de “Happy”. Dead.
Os temas das letras são únicos, novamente, muita influência rural e gospel americana, amor em vão, drogas como válvula de escape de algum sentimento não correspondido, dor e muito rock´n roll, “Let it Loose” é sensacional, “...In the bar you're getting drunk, I ain't in love, I ain't in luck. Hide the switch and shut the light, let it all come down tonight”. Foda.
Nas músicas finais temos “Stop Breaking Down” , arranjo próprio da musica de Robert Johnson, Mick Taylor arregaça no slide guitar, o que ele sabe fazer melhor, Mick Jagger manda uma gaita que encaixa perfeitamente no ar da canção, possui partes instrumetais com muito peso, é um dos pontos altos do disco, merece ser ouvida com toda a atenção devida. Compre logo esse disco.

Far Away Eyes - Rolling Stones

This is too much lovely, great song, the reason I always keep in touch with a girl with far away eyes.




Let´s all sing along

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you're down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
