You ever experience that thing where you never quite realize just how beautiful a song truly is until you simply close your eyes, forget whatever else is going on in your life & just listen? Yeah....
I'll bet even Mozart or Beethoven would like this because it's so atmospheric. Sometimes rock music could hold its own with so called "classical" music. But you don't see that very much now.
It’s a masterpiece. The orchestration, Mick’s vocals are sublime and bluesie. One of the best underrated Stones songs. Listen to this with headphones. So delicate and so powerful.
I had Sticky Fingers on 8 track - player mounted under my dashboard of my car back in the 1970's. You old Rockers like me know what that is. Now in my 60ies riding with this song on my apple car play driving down South to FL from NY in 2024 this song plays recalling all the dudes I hung out with & adventures we had, many friends now past or faded away, the lovers I had the places I've been the magnificent achievements as well as the devastating failures. I'm still rolling down the highway as the moon glows thru my skylight as it silently tells me to Rock On & keep Rolling down the road. As this bittersweet Stones masterpiece embraces my heart mind & soul. I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming down the road. So Rock on brothers and sisters - & may your road be smooth, clear and steady.
I'm a little younger, 55, but understand what you're saying completely, and have had those same moments quite a bit myself lately. Wasn't happy with myself a few years ago, and needed both knee's replaced. Was 40 lbs overweight, and popping "doctor prescribed" norcos like tic tacs. Had both done, got off those miserable pills, and back into great shape, which in turn has made me a better dad, husband, friend, etc. I've learned that it's not so much what happens in life, but how you react to it, and no matter what happens when you handle the knocks the right way, life and living in your own skin becomes much easier, and generally also better for everyone around you. Thanks for the post and keep fighting the good fight!
Just heard this song and I immediately associated it with my dear big brother. He was a Rolling Stone's fan. In 1971 he was a senior in high school and I was 11 yrs old. He constantly played his albums and I used to listen. This is one of 3 that he played over & over. The others were White Room & Black Magic Woman. What a beautiful song and memory. RIP Big Brother ♥️
It's been 8 years since this song was posted here talking about how time goes by. This album always reminds me of being a kid in 1971. Nothing ever as sweet as that moment in time.
Just discovered this from the 3 body problem, damn, it's one of those times that you discover a song that stands out from anything else you've heard in the last 5 years.
This song is lovely. It invokes the longing to be reunited with lost loved ones and that feeling we get that they're just short distance out of our reach .."just a moonlight mile down the road".
I used to listen to this album a lot w a head full of snow. 15 years away from it and I am so lucky to be healthy now. its teeth were in me for 2 years before I wised up and stopped.
"To all the young intrepids who set out with big dreams. But never made it home." yup, I cried like a baby when this started playing. Perfect ending song, they wrote it as a mashup of East Asian and Indian melodies :'(
I remember, many many years ago, driving on a long journey. My buddies were asleep. I was a few hours away from home. And it was just before dawn.... what comes on my radio? Yup! I had to turn the radio off after this wonderful tune was through. Nothing but silence, and a smile the rest of the way home.
I thought a very moving song and it brought the Serial The serpent to a Lovely end With the news that the hard working Detective wanted to hear .Just Sheer Magical
Does no one notice the brilliant orchestral arrangement by Paul Buckmaster in this? What would the song be without it? There is a reason all the best wanted him. There was no one better.
I was going to leave that comment. Mick Taylor was not happy that he was left off. There is another song he wrote too, can't think of it at the moment. I was in a band with Fuzzy Samuel in the late 70s. After the band broke up he went on tour with Mick Taylor and Alvin Lee. Wish I saw those shows!!!!
Keith didn't even play on this one. All the guitars are Mick Taylor, and Jagger plays an acoustic guitar as well. No question that Taylor should have gotten credit for this one.
My Daddy loved The Stones. He played in a bunch of dives&bars in Nashville, in the late 70s/80s. I was born in 82'; so I grew up with all his wonderful records. My Daddy passed away the Summer of 2021. I love this song, and it's helped me so much with the grief of losing my Daddy. It makes me feel so close to him. I'm grateful for music, especially The Stones. RIP Daddy we miss u 💔 still. But everyday gets just a little bit easier. - Queenie
I used to be a waitress in a dive bar in the mountains of Canada and would put this on while driving down the lake when it was a full moon and shining on a beautiful mountain called Mount Loki.Its nice you love the music your father loved.Into the mystic Queenie's Papa.❤️❤️❤️
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to when I was 16 in the early 70's and was leaving school and starting my own life. There is something simply mesmerising about this song, sad but hopeful.
The greatest mistake the Stones ever made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK, to keep Mick Taylor in the band. For starters, they could have PAID him. He was given no credits on SEVERAL albums---in other words, no residuals. In addition, his mates should have helped him with drug addiction and got him the help he needed to stay with the band. They did not... With all due respect to Keith Richards---on Mick Taylor's WORSE DAY, Keef couldn't hold a candle to him. Make no mistake, Keith Richards is a very good guitarist. Mick Taylor is a GREAT guitarist. A guitar genius. Right up there with Hendrix, Clapton, and Santana. No doubt about it. The five albums he produced with the Stones from '69-'74 are all classics. The band was never the same after 1974.
Been well over a decade since I last heard this song. Sticky Fingers is one of the best albums of all time. Just rediscovered this cut and cannot stop listening to it. An ode to the long-gone bluesy days on the road for Mick and the boys.
Drowsy moonlight fills my eyes dreaming to ride this road. Can't you hear me knocking? Riding side by side with a Steppenwolf. One more Magic Carpet Ride on the last Moonlight Mile. The headphones are pulsing while time is going by. My V-Twin roared the roads from Norkap down to Sicily... I've seen so many things the youngsters wouldn't believe. But every thing has its time. And we were lucky to be there in our old days. 70 summers and I am still rocking this spirit. 'til I lay my weary head down. Deep in the West we were Born to Be Wild... 🌘
The lyric is actually “to be lying by your side”…..I used to think it was “to be high and by your side”….but in the context of this masterpiece any of the 3 would be equally brilliant….
@@jeffwilliams380 They're all great - personally always went with 'high', because, well ya know! Also, the ambiguity of the choices just puts another layer of mystique, adding to the timeless aura of this decided masterpiece. Still hauntingly beautiful after all these years....
Privlidged to see my favorite Rolling Stones 1975 Cleveland Stadium. Santana opened, there after Stones blessed us for 3hrs non stop! Moonlight will always be favorite, such a beautiful piece❤
You know that song that you love so much? That same song that makes you melt inside when you hear it, no matter how often you hear it. It's that song you don't hear for a long time and when you do, it just takes you back to that same feeling. Kind of like a lifelong friend that you haven't seen or heard from in a long time and when you do meet up again, things just start back up where they left off. Yeah, this is that song and old friend. What a way to end one of the best albums ever made. RIP Charlie and Brian. You'll be forever missed.
kills me every single time i hear this tune..ever since i was a teen.. a long time ago :-))) the entire ending of this song is pure magic. takes me to another planet and of course its always played as loud as possible in my home. :-) love on ya!!!!
Saw them play this live for the first time on the opening night of the "No Security Tour". I was in ecstatic at that moment. Shortly after they debuted "I got the Silver" to which Keith said afterwards "I don't think I've done that since I did it!" By the way, and outstanding Audience recording of that show is up on RUclips. Oakland Coliseum Arena, January 25th, 1999. And keep in mind, it's only rock and roll!
It is I have listened to Music for 55 years and this is on another level. may be the most underrated song ever. I freak every time I hear it and wonder how II missed it for two decades. The older I get, the more I think his is their best song ever. Probably in my Top 11 songs of all time. Amazing how this track accidentally all came together. I shall listen again. The lyrics are also on another ethereal level. Is definitely IS a masterpiece like Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, A Day In The Life, Kashmir and Purple Rain..
This is the most powerful song The Stones ever did. The raw emotion and depth of lyrics. The Stickyfingers album is what made these guys. The pain, the honesty of this album. This was the defining line from the Brian Jones era to the modern Stones. This album was interesting including dark songs like "Sister Morphine" and "Dead Flowers"....and this song is closure.
These guys have literally been around as long as me and its been an absolute pleasure to have ve them as the soundtrack to my life.. It's been a gas , gas , gas.
I bought this album with my first ever pay packet in 1971 and still had i until 3 years ago when I gave it to a friend as I was emigrating. I listened to this album so many times that I knew it off by heart but this was always my favourite track on it.
This whole album still kills it 50 years later. Still fresh. But now we get force fed shit by Jay Z, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and other assorted garbage that passes for music. There are some good newer acts out there but you have to really search for them or hear about them thru word of mouth. Radio gives them zip airplay. My advice is to introduce your kids and grandkids to music like this to keep it going and inspire young artists to make better music. Unfortunately corporate doesn't give a shit about real music just bottom line.$$$$$$$$
I got my tickets for the NO FILTER performance in St Louis Sept. 2021. I will have seen them 8 times over a near 50 year period. 72 Dallas being the first. So many mixed emotions today. Absolutely the greatest Rock and Roll band ever.
4.25 to the end is IMHO one the most beautiful endings to a tune you will ever hear. Nicky Hopkins piano over Mick Taylor's noodling with the symphony strings (not forgetting Keith's acoustic and Charlies cymbals) is mesmerising. Turn it up loud. Sheer bliss.

One of the Stones underrated songs but in my top 5 favorites of theirs. The line" I am just living to be dying by your side" is classic.

My cats really chill to this song...💜💞💞💞🐱🐱🐱🐹🐭🐭🐱🐱🐺🐺
Watching The Sopranos , had to dial it up and jam. Born in 72, so this was in the air as I was being created. Very 😎cool
Goodnight, Charlie .
One of myabsolutelyalltime fav Songs. So so unfucking gorgeous
And I saw them play it live in Dallas on their Zip Code tour!!it was amazing!!! Like 40 years after it came out!!
What a song
So much soul. Still gives me the shivers...
Such a great song, the way Stones way, never gets old..
I've got silence on my radio, let the airwaves flow
I got my tickets for the NO FILTER performance in St Louis Sept. 2021. I will have seen them 8 times over a near 50 year period. 72 Dallas being the first. So many mixed emotions today. Absolutely the greatest Rock and Roll band ever.
Awesome.
Incredible drums.
4.25 to the end is IMHO one the most beautiful endings to a tune you will ever hear. Nicky Hopkins piano over Mick Taylor's noodling with the symphony strings (not forgetting Keith's acoustic and Charlies cymbals) is mesmerising. Turn it up loud. Sheer bliss.
I think Mick is playing acoustic on it, I believe Keith wasn't present during recording
Nicky Hopkins and Billy Preston don't get enough respect for their contributions to the Stones. Beatles too even
Keith was absent. Trumpet player Jim Price on piano.
Ken Mill, Keith is not on this recording. Mick plays acoustic. Jim Price, their trumpeter, plays piano
AMEN...
So amazing love that mick and mick team
