Last night I had another conversation with the Rolling Stones.
Well - it's been a long time (probably about 20 years ago) that I've had a dream including the Stones.
So in this dream they've been just on stage & the show was over I was somewhere in the backstage area & met Mick Jagger & Keith Richards.
Mick was some steps away, but I was sitting there with Keith & I asked him about his favourite songs of the early Stones time - He wanted to tell me his fave five: "Sitting on a Fence" was his first, the second: "Ruby Tuesday" -
While he mentioned 'Ruby Tuesday' - I started to chant this song & he fell in - we both sang some parts Ruby Tuesday & it became really nostalgic.
Later on I suggested 'Rainbow', but I felt that he didn't like that I suggested, what anyway he was about to say. (do you remember the piano play in 'rainbow' or the rolling piano thunder in 'we love you' (just to mention))
I remember that in this dream I was still trying to remember names of old Rolling Stones songs & the next song I remembered was 'Lady Jane' & you see what all these songs have in common? - They all were some of the most soft songs of that time the Stones have ever played.
I woke up before Keith could tell me the other 2 songs of his fave five of that time. - Hmm - I doubt, that this would really be Keith's choice, because this was my dream, not Keiths..
When long ago in my youth time I dreamt sometimes of the Stones - I remember that I had more conversation with Keith than with Mick. - I remember that one of these dreams that far ago I criticized the colour of the cover of their next record. It looked so pale. -
Some time later the real next Rolling Stones record was published & the cover really looked pale. -
Ruby Tuesday (Jagger/Richards)She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don�t matter if it�s gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I�m gonna miss you...
Don�t question why she needs to be so free
She�ll tell you it�s the only way to be
She just can�t be chained
To a life where nothing�s gained
And nothing�s lost
At such a cost
There�s no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain�t life unkind?
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I�m gonna miss you...
