#498 - Rolling Stones - Miss You - 1978
me - ***
from the album Some Girls
Written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
Produced by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
Chart action: #1 Billboard Pop, #3 UK Singles
the players:
Mick Jagger – lead and backing vocals[3]
Keith Richards – guitar, backing vocals
Ron Wood – guitar, backing vocals
Charlie Watts – drums
Bill Wyman – bass guitar
Ian McLagan – electric piano
Mel Collins – saxophone
Sugar Blue – harmonica
Jagger was rehearsing for a gig, jamming with Billy Preston when he came up with the idea for this gem. Both Mick
and Keith got writing credits for most of the groups work. Preston came up with the bass riff here, which made the
song for me. And the sax break is tremendous. The bands first #1 hit in 5 years, and their 8th overall. Some funk
disco was all it took to make it back to the top. Not sure I took to this when it came out. Good songs have a way of
improving with age. This was the first Stones song to warrant a dance club remix. Not sure I could go it for eight
minutes. But that was disco. I see that Etta James recorded this song in 2000, in a much slower version. This song
spent sixteen weeks at the top of the Billboard chart, and took the album to the top also. It shows as the groups
all time best selling album.

Lyrics
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you.
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! Come on!
I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
People ask me, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won't miss you child
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah Aaah

#497 - Bruce Springsteen - The Rising - 2002
me - **
from the album The Rising
Written by Bruce Springsteen
Produced by Brendan O'Brien
Chart action: #52 Billboard Pop, #94 U.K. Singles
the players:
Bruce Springsteen – lead and backing vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano, synthesizer, glockenspiel
Roy Bittan – piano, keyboards, backing vocals
Clarence Clemons – tenor and baritone saxophones, pennywhistle, backing vocals, percussion
Danny Federici – organ, accordion, keyboards, backing vocals
Nils Lofgren – guitar, pedal steel guitar, slide guitar, Dobro, banjo, backing vocals
Steven Van Zandt – guitar, mandolin, backing vocals
Garry Tallent – bass, backing vocals
Max Weinberg – drums, backing vocals
The first one on the list I don't love. Like it, just don't love it. Too many la-la-la's. I know, its all about the
sentiment. Once you get past that, just don't think it's a great song. Won 2 Grammys though, as well as 1 for the
album. Probably would just take more listens for me, as I don't own the album. The song tells the story of a
firefighter entering the twin towers on 9/11. Released before the album with a marketing push that failed, not
making much of a dent here and even less in the U.K. Never shy of politics, Bruce's song was used by Edwards,
Clinton and Obama at campaign rallys during the 2008 presidential campaign. Brue supported Obama, and even performed
the song at his inaugural celebration.

Lyrics
Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile line
Come on up for the rising
Com on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
I see you Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line
Sky of blackness and sorrow (a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness (a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear (a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow (a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life (a dream of life)
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
