The Rolling Stones... Sway... Song of the Moment







Song of the Moment




Wow... I can't believe I've never heard this song
before yesterday!!

Like most of the world... I love THE STONES!
The big 3 albums for me are...

&

Then I heard this for the first time yesterday!
It's from the Sticky Fingers album from 1971.
And the song is called... SWAY!

Just too powerful...
even without hearing the lyrics!
But right away, as soon as I heard the word sway,
the first thing I thought of was another
amazing song sung by AEROSMITH...
which also included the word "sway"
within the lyrics.
Just as haunting as Sway...
from the Music From Another Dimension
album in 2012.

So place the needle down upon that vinyl
and enjoy... SWAY!!

(Mick Jagger, Keith Richards)
Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time

It's just that demon life has got you in its sway
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway

Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For all my friends out on the burial ground
Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out

Hey, hey, hey now
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me...

It's just that demon life has got me...
