This song is about something we all can relate to. We all at one time have mixed feelings and emotions. And we all go through it at one time or another 🎉🎉The Stones are always making songs that are relevant to the times.
@@richardkasel3438 maybe the album was, but I remember Mixed Emotions as well as Rock in a Hard Place being played on the radio in the early spring of 1989, then.
This album was a great return to Outstanding Hard R&B. This is The Rolling Stones man. Treasure them now, They wont be around forever. Go and see them everyone, They look like 50 miles of bad road, But they are truly rolling stones, and they are in it for the MUSIC!
Wow, when's the last time you heard THIS great song on the radio? It's been years! I think after the 90's FM radio simply removed it from their playlists. Such a shame too. This is classic Stones.
scarrie729 Interesting, those are exactly the two songs (along with "Miss You" and "Start Me Up") that get WAY more play than the other songs. Hilariously, the only reason "You Can't Always Get What You Want" doesn't get played as much nowadays is because radio stations prefer not to play longer songs. Nowadays a long song is only reserved for special occasions, such as "American Pie", "Free Bird" or other songs. Just... awful.
Unless you're looking for it you won't hear it. I'd put this in my top 5 favorite Rolling Stones songs and people I know born before 1955 or after 1985 have never heard it.
What a great comeback song,album,and "comeback"tour after an eight year touring break.I didn't think The Stones would survive the mid eighies.Yeah,we got Undercocer abd Dirtrywork but the Steelwheels tour was great! Saw them Sept.10.1989 in East Troy.Wis.(by millwaukee) for the first time.One of the best shows by The Stones I've ever seen!
It’s underrated, but it’s still The Stones. Can it be underrated if it’s by one of the biggest bands in the world? Hope I’m not the only one with mixed emotions
i was working for new jersey bell when we went on strike in august of 1989, had this cd cranking during my shift duty at the montclair central office off bloomfield avenue montclair, new jersey
Saw the Stones in LA during the Steel Wheels tour. The band was great, played all the songs from the Steel Wheels album as well as a wonderful section of past hits. There was also another band performing that evening. Guns & Roses kicked off the concert. This was the second time I'd seen the Stones. First was just after the release of Sticky Fingers.
I'm not much of a stones fan, preferring the Beatles. BUT, to me, this is their best album and I could listen to this song forever. Just flat out, stripped down rock and roll the way it is meant to be. Thanks for posting.
This is their best album. The Rolling Stones are infamous for having filler on their albums. They typically had one to three singles that were hits and the rest of the album was terrible. Steel Wheels was a solid album.
Button your lip baby Button your coat Let's go out dancing Go for the throat Let's bury the hatchet Wipe out the past Make love together Stay on the path You're not the only one With mixed emotions You're not the only ship Adrift on this ocean This coming and going Is driving me nuts This to-ing and fro-ing Is hurting my guts So get off the fence It's creasing your butt Life is a party Let's get out and strut You're not the only one That's feeling lonesome You're not the only one With mixed emotions You're not the only one You're not the only one You're not the only one You're not the only one Let's grab the world By the scruff of the neck And drink it down deeply Let's love it to death So button your lip And button your coat Let's go out dancing Let's rock 'n' roll You're not the only one With mixed emotions You're not the only ship Adrift on this ocean You're not the only one That's feeling lonesome You're not the only one With mixed emotions
The last band to record at Sir George Martins legenday AIR Studio in the Caribbean island of Montserrat before Hugo destroyed it ( a large part of the music video was shot there, along with all of The Police videos for the aong on ghost in the machine that was also recorded there exclusing Invisible Sun), what a tune and LP, still sounds as good today as it did back then (Watts snare really cracks hard on vinyl, whoa), legendary band, studio and album. 🤘
When you have gotten so used to hearing the album version & it’s extended outro, you come to loathe the edited single version, everytime I hear the single I feel cheated 😂
I thought the line was "who took on this ocean" ....I hear adrift now! I'm not a Stones fan. I only like maybe 6 or 7 songs so I never looked up the lyrics.
J'ai écouté ce morceau des vieux grâce à Richard Bellia. Il en a parlé sur sa page FB à la mort du Charlie Watts. C'est te dire si je suis calé sur les Stones...
So fucking jealous you heard this on conventional radio! Most people who aren't diehard fans haven't heard it since '89 even though Steel Wheels sold millions of albums and this was probably the Stones most profitable tour. It was also by far their best album of the 1980s.
Heard it for the first time in at least two decades on the radio just last week. I had to play it again when I had a chance. Great fucking tune and some of the best the Stones have to offer.
bill wyman was great in that album, it seems the band gave a very much needed leeway for him to do his best here something which hadnt happened in years , sadly bill wyman would leave them soon afte
Mixed Emotions Is A Great Straight Up Killer Rock Song By The Rolling Stones And Totally Rocks It Needs To Be Fully Cranked Up All The Way To Full Maximum Volume.
This is such an under-rated Stones song. I put it right up there with some of their classics from 68-72 period. They put out so much crap in the 80's but finally got back on track with Steel Wheels.
When it comes to a drummer playing in the pocket not many are as good as Charlie White...and the bass line is perfect as well as the guitar riffs of kieth Richards and to bring it all together is the vocals of Mr. Mick Jaggur....awesome song indeed, pure rock and roll
One of their best tunes. Criminally underrated
I disagree totally....is very well known in general

Give it up for Charlie....the best pocket drummer of all time..just listen to his licks and his timing.... freaking awesome!!! Pure rock and roll
Last album with Bill. Excellent send off, great album!!! Stones 4 ever.
Charlie was awesome, the perfect drummer, the quiet guy in the background that is just keeping everything moving along 🥁

Loved this song back in 1988 and still love it today in 2022.
Interesting...it was released august 21 1989

Okay then. ☺
it was the end of the 80s, anticipating the 90s
This song makes me happy and makes me cry when I'm sad
You not the only one...
Mixed emotions
I had fo think about your comment for a second, but know what you did there. I would be a Fool To Cry.
This is the one it's about how old Billy corgan is now compared to the stones in the 90s and myself now
I remembered this song / LP back in Summer 1989, had it on a cassette 📼
me too
Love this song!!! Puts a pep in my step every AM when getting ready for work!!
Lest go .vamos los rolling stones 😉
I thought I was the only one with mixed emotions.....guess not.
Stones for ever !!!
ROCK ON LIZZIE

RIP CHARLIE!
Probably the best song on this album.
It was a comeback, but I’d say mainly for this song
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Almost Hear you Sigh, Rock and A Hard Place and Slipping Away are also great songs
Também acho! 👏
One of their best later tunes
In my opinion Steel Wheels is the most underrated Rolling Stones album ever. So many classic songs are on this album.
Actually, it's considered to be their comeback album, after the previous albums Undercover and Dirty Work were received relative poorly.
pbloo574 oh really?! I will look into it thanks. when this album came out I was in Jr. High🍺🐒
i could agree moooor....
pbloo574 so good
Right on, dude.
This album was a great return to Outstanding Hard R&B. This is The Rolling Stones man. Treasure them now, They wont be around forever. Go and see them everyone, They look like 50 miles of bad road, But they are truly rolling stones, and they are in it for the MUSIC!

Mr. Watts, rest in peace. You truly deserve it, sir 😪
R.I.P. CHARLIE !!! Thanks for your Beat !!!!

So called classic cock radio stations refuse to play it-rather they need to play Satisfaction and Jumpin Jack Flash instead in endless rotation.

Rather hear this than "Sympathy For The Devil", "Miss You", or the only 2 other songs that shitty classic rock stations play.
Thanks for sharing this song.
Played this at my dads funeral much love
a brilliant song - one of their best - backing vocals are fantastic

saw this tour in houston same year.... loved it... they came back a few years later for voodoo lounge.. never lost it
Michael Octavio and then took an 11 year break. (I’m sorry but I am not a fan of BtB)
saw these guys in October of 1989 in Birmingham, AL - what a great night!! Over 20 years ago - where did my youth go?
10+ years older now .............. as am I........ no matter, "I'll sleep when I'm dead"
Up In Smoke?
‘89 was the year of some awesome comebacks;the Stones,Doobie Brothers,& Poco.
Bad ass jam! A great comeback for them in the late eighties
Me and my dad catching the video when it came out. I was so young. That guitar, the hook , just felt good. RiP Dad
such an under rated song by the stones - but i love it !
Agreed Brother, totally agreed!
Carus :-)
“It’s only rock n roll but I like it.”
It’s underrated, but it’s still The Stones. Can it be underrated if it’s by one of the biggest bands in the world?
Hope I’m not the only one with mixed emotions

I forgot about this great song
The way the beat keeps pounding and driving to the end works for me!
So underated !! One of the Stones very best imho , the Steel Wheels Tour kicked ass !!!
The vocals on the chorus are great
Best Rolling Stones song by far..
Great lyrics, great riff. Classic Stones.
This Song Went To Number 5 On The Billboard Hot 100 Chart In 1989.
This album is way underrated.
RIP Charlie Watts!
Esta cancion de los Stones es brutal, la mejor banda de rock de la historia de la humanidad CARAJO!
One of the all time best songs
Love this song... Classic Stones !
Had a 7 month fling with a young man half my age. This song captures it.
i was working for new jersey bell when we went on strike in august of 1989, had this cd cranking during my shift duty at the montclair central office off bloomfield avenue montclair, new jersey
I didn't appreciate this tune when it was released, but man... this is an amazing song. The chorus gives me chills.
Saw them at Clemson in November 1989
A very cold night but they were hot
Won't be the same without. Charlie but keep rocking stones!
This is by far their best song, and one of the best rock songs..
The stones are simply the best rock band ever case closed
Great song that shows at the end of the eighties, their flame could still shine!
one of the greatest bands ever
….:: The best
Very ... emotional! 😊
One of the hot songs of Rolling Stones

was that the one where Axl had a tantrum and Mick dedicated this track to him? haha (i recal reading a review of the gig)
Saw the tour in 89' at Sullivan Stadium, Foxboro, Mass...
Describes my life perfectly ❤️ The Stones are the very very best 👍❤️
Let there be no mixed emotions about who the greatest band in the world is. Long live The Stones!
No ........ The Beatles are the best.
@@robertmarggraf1708 nope.

I love The Beatles too, but these guys kick major butt on this song!!!
Farrah Teague great album
pink floyd are my favorite group but i agree this is the best stones album

Still kicking ass,The Rolling Stones rule............
Button your lip baby
Button your coat
Let's go out dancing
Go for the throat
Let's bury the hatchet
Wipe out the past
Make love together
Stay on the path
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean
This coming and going
Is driving me nuts
This to-ing and fro-ing
Is hurting my guts
So get off the fence
It's creasing your butt
Life is a party
Let's get out and strut
You're not the only one
That's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Let's grab the world
By the scruff of the neck
And drink it down deeply
Let's love it to death
So button your lip
And button your coat
Let's go out dancing
Let's rock 'n' roll
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean
You're not the only one
That's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions

BloodyandEnchained hahaha
I was about 13 when this song came out and I thought he was saying "You're not the only one with this demotion" lol

I can't get this out of my head this morning here in San Jose, Ca. as I await the next tour. Great song! Check out Fancy Man Blues.
Esta si es una "joya" de la música. Pura limpieza auditiva "Excelencia"
Nada como ir volviendo a tu casa, con los auriculares puestos, escuchando este tema en el bondi
