which is a songwriting faux pas, and i'm sure the reason it's not a classic is because it's more exciting when it's the first time.
but damn, "complicated" throws it all together again and it's so good. 1967, before they slowed down

You know what I mean about the break in the song, though, right? The first two minutes of the scene are great, then the meandering rest of the song takes over.
I do know what you mean, and it's extremely effective in the first part of the scene. But I love how it continues; it has to. For one thing, it would seem awkward if it just cut off at some point, but it bolsters the rest of the scene, and the way the scene emphasizes the end of the song -- or vice-versa -- is perfect. I should point out, though, that I always loved the whole song.

brown sugar is an evil, amazing song. best on the album, along with moonlight mile. heroin and coke, with the numbness and adrenaline switching places which is intriguing. like the coke song was written on heroin and the heroin song was written on coke.

Masterpieces: Sway, Moonlight MileGreat song, good jam: Can't You Hear Me Knockin'Great riff, middling song: Brown Sugar, BitchNice: Dead FlowersNice but too long: Wild Horses, Sister MorphineDull: I Got the BluesBad: You Got to Move
I knew someone who had the Spanish version of this, which trades "Sister Morphine" for a live Chuck Berry cover.

brown sugar is the worst song ever written & the band should have been forcibly disbanded for making it
you got to move is second worst just for that vocal
as a stones-disliker i think wild horses and can't you hear me knockin' are pretty good songs
throw the rest in the middle somewhere, they're not great or terrible
as far as overrated rock classics go i'll still take exile

dead flowers is one of the greatest songs ever. the country twang is ridiculously fake, but "you know i could never be alone" is heartbreakingly real.

i sort of live for that little blown note in the can't you hear me knockin' guitar solo. which he then makes up for by doubling down on the phrase and turning it into something good. kudos for them leaving that in.

"Knockin'" was a highlight of the last time I saw them. Iirc Ron had recently stopped drinking again, and he was sharper and more alive than he'd been in years. He took the solo, and he absolutely nailed it.

Someone should've written a song called "He Recently Stopped Drinking (Again)" for George Jones.

the Knockin solo is a good one to learn if you’re a beginner player. Tasty, restrained, full of pretty standard hot licks

hard to think of a more perfect "songwriter tells you who they are" lyric than
Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty groundFor all my friends out on the burial groundCan't stand the feeling getting so brought down
One of the things I find honestly pretty relatable about Jagger in this era is the way he's so clearly upset by the way his friends keep getting addicted to heroin and/or dying, but he's also someone with limited emotional bandwidth for dealing with this shit so at a certain point it stops registering as grief and just comes across as irritation.

"put" too
Brown Sugar is such a jam, but I've always had some trouble with the lyrics, and recently playing/singing it with some friends we kind of had this simultaneous realization that we just did not feel good at all belting out stuff like "sold in a market down in New Orleans." And I think it's kind of dead for me now, unfortunately.

morphine and wild horses are the two I’d probably toss. like I get why WH is a hit and central to RS “lore” (or whatever—Gram, etc) but yeah, those two I skip past. I’d add I Got the Blues to that list but I saw em do it live in ‘99 and it was pretty cool.
