#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. [video=youtube;tnJlhBGMiis]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnJlhBGMiis[/video] 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. [video=youtube;EjPU_SGOqCM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjPU_SGOqCM[/video] 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
