read X-Ray and you will find out the reason why you should cry every time you hear that song (and then even later period material like "come dancing" and "don't forget to dance" will suddenly make a whole lot of sense/bring you to your knees).

I was looking out on my roof last nightWoken up from a dreamSaw a typhoon coming in closeBringing the clouds down to the seaMaking the world look gray and aloneTaking all light from my viewKeeping everyone inKeeping me here with you
Around you nowI can't sleep no more, babyAround you nowDon't wanna leave ya
Woken up from a dream last nightSomewhere lost in warCouldn't feel my feet or handsDidn't feel right anymoreKnew there I'd die aloneWith no one to reach toThen an angel came downAnd brought me back to you
I'd rather leave this world forever, babyThen let life go the way it's going
Watching an old fight film last nightRay Mancini and Duk Koo KimThe boy from Seoul was hanging on goodBut the pounding it took to himThere in the square he laid aloneWithout face; without crownAnd the angels who looked uponThey never came down
You never know what day is gonna pick you, babyOut of the air; out of nowhere
Oh, come to me once more my loveShow me love I've never knownOh, come to me once more my loveShow me love I've never knownCome to me once more my loveShow me love I've never knownCome to me once more my loveShow me love I've never known
Sing to me once more my loveWords from your younger yearsSing to me once more my loveWords from your younger yearsCome to me once more my love

I’ve probably heard this 6 times (mostly on Spotify) this holiday season. Laughed at it the first 3 times as millennial tripe, then secretly liked it the next couple times. This time, now that I’m away from my family, it snuck up on me and got me good.

did any of you catch those copyright-extension rolling stones tracks that were dumped on youtube on the 1st? they're gone now but a judicious search of iorr.org will lead you to them. anyway the demo version of "ruby tuesday" is for the ages. there's a fierce debate on that site over whether the prominent piano is played by brian jones or nicky hopkins.
