[@Looneyintheboonies]

BJ hit the nail on the head!! That's exactly what the song is about. A May/December romance with an older woman. BUT...she wasn't a mother to him. The line in the song goes, "You turned into a lover and mother, what a lover, you wore me out" 🎵.. kind of like "and dang, what a lover"... he wasn't saying she turned into a mother! PLEASE react to "Hot Legs" by him next time! Or "Mandoline Wind"!

[@MarkMcLT]

Exactly. It would be like if you said "Man it's hot today!" regardless of whether you were talking to a man, woman or child.

[@barblessable]

Mandolin Wind, what agreat song ,a man and woman struggle in a frozen landscape to survive .

[@leonardshevlin7260]

I don't think Maggie is in the December of life. It's more of a March-June situation. 😃

[@rhondamcbath6279]

barblessa. We all know perfectly well that no other singer, " yep, this also includes the masterful singer: Rod Stewart" can sing Mandolin Wind better than, **Bruce Hornsby**!!! ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶

[@Solar55]

These reaction videos are always trying too hard to analyze the lyrics ... and getting it wrong. Colloquialisms have changed in 50 years ! Sometimes the music and melody come first ...

[@mr.knowitall6440]

He said he "needed a friend", but she "turned into a lover", and rather than calling her a "mother", he said "mother, what a lover"... meaning she wore his ass out! 🤘😎

[@grabtharshammer]

"mother .... what a lover", stands for mother Fxxxxx its just an expletive, and yeah she wore him out :) This is one of his first hits when he was still part of the Faces (a 60's band originally) - a lot of people thought he and Ronnie Wood (who went on to join the Rolling Stones) were related, looked similar, but they weren't, just friends. He was contracted to another record company to make solo stuff, when he joined the Faces. Maggie May was actually the B Side to his first single but became the real hit

[@ursulaturner7980]

Yeah, the punctuation makes all the difference. 😉

[@LindaEll]

And it's 1971 and I'm a freshman in college again. Such memories! This is based on a true story. When Rod was a teen, he had a fling with a much older Swedish actress. I have read that the record label didn't want this song on the album because it doesn't follow standard pop song format. It was a massive hit. Shows what they know.

[@grabtharshammer]

He didn't actually go out with Brit Ekland until 1975 - 77, so this song was about annother lady. People also think "You Wear it Well" was about Brit too, but that came out in 1972

[@papercup2517]

The story I heard, that was from Rod's autobiography, was that he lost his virginity to an older lady round the back of a marquee on the grass at a summer jazz festival, aged 16. He had no regrets, and she became the inspiration for this song..

[@Blue-qr7qe]

The amount of damage that CEOs and managerial types have done to art is beyond calculation. They're money-men. That's all they know. But their hubris and self-adoration makes them believe they can do no wrong. Sad.

[@joegreen9987]

Rod Stewart voice is so great its so awesome and very inspiring when he's singing he's a rock 🎸 star 🌟 😀 😄 ❤ ♥

[@johnnielson4341]

Maggie May was the song that shot Stewart to the top

[@grabtharshammer]

yes, and it was the B side to the single, the A side was Reason To Believe

[@cynthia8343]

It sure was popular on the airwaves when it came out, I was in seventh or eighth grade then. What great memories.

[@tradeladder146]

How can that be when Asia doesnt get it or like it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@J_Gamble]

BJ got the story right. The awful heartbreak of getting swept up into something you're not ready for and you know is not doing you any good but you just can't go. And yes, definitely about an older woman. This was kind of shocking when it came out. Personally this is my favorite Rod Stewart song ever. It kills me every time. Also the mandolin at the end was a big deal.

[@tradeladder146]

Its not difficult to get the story now is it, Sheesh Americans. 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤣🤣🤣🤣

"The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age." I love that line.

Asia & BJ, his "Tonights The Night", "Hot Legs" and "Young Turks" are next for you!! Bangers and ballads from Rod. Edit- Brad is right on the older woman. Rod wrote this about the older woman he lost his virginity to.

He has sooo many great ones but Hot Legs is my favorite. Th duet w/Tina Turner is awesome

The morning sun when it’s in your face really shows your age. Yes it’s a boy drawn to an older woman.

[@mikefixx7177]

I have heard this song for 50 years and never get tired of it. Some songs need to be listened to more than once.

[@mikecaetano]

Classic! "Maggie May" was the lead single off the Rod Stewart's third studio album "Every Picture Tells a Story" from 1971. I remember hearing "Maggie May" on the radio as a kid in the seventies and bought myself a copy of the album in the late eighties that I used to play all the time. Dig that rockin' mandolin! Check out his cover of "(I Know) I'm Losing You" among the other great tracks from that same album. Fire!

[@johnwaga3702]

Mike, you are spot on! One of my top 5 albums of all time and I regularly still listen to it 50 years later!

[@FreethoughtsOnline]

One of the first albums I ever bought. The mandolin vibes appears again as it's own track 'Mandolin Wind' also on this album.

[@757optim]

@@willzimjohn Yep. The single was released as a B-side. Went to #1 in the UK, Australia, Canada and the U.S. As Rod said, sometimes the experts know, and sometimes they don't.

[@Krzyszczynski]

@@FreethoughtsOnline The mandolin on Maggie May was Ray Jackson of the UK folk-rock band Lindisfarne, no doubts there. And yet curiously there seems to be some uncertainty as to who played it on Mandolin Wind!! Several names have been stuck up, but there's no complete agreement as to who it was.

[@johnthegreek5836]

Maggie May what a dope song, this was one of the first albums I ever bought, the entire album is great! Rod Stewart’s early music was his best and you can tell this is definitely from the 70’s

[@byronmitchell3784]

ROD STEWART, The Iconic "MAGGIE MAE". 1971 This Song Ruled the charts His major top of charts Masterpiece.

[@dmaynardabu]

Rod Stewart is a huge rabbit hole, y’all need to go down. He does not have a bad song and can sing anything. My husband was not a fan of Rod’s, because of this song. He went on a road trip with a friend, when this song first came out. The guy played this on repeat the whole way there and the whole way back. But, a few years ago, I had tickets to see Rod. My sister in law was suppose to go with me, but she got sick. So my husband said he would go. He left that concert a fan. Rod was and still is amazing. There were fans there from 8 to 80. He spans all generations.

[@emcsquared8681]

I like reactions when people are real, if a song doesn’t hit you then I like hearing the truth. Not every song is going to be a something you like. I love this song but I also love your honesty.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

It's in my Top 3 Rod Stewart songs too .. Along with "The First Cut is The Deepest" ( it's a cover, but it's a great one ) and "Reason To Believe" .. with "You Wear It Well" a close 4th .. What were your other 2 ?

[@psrandy1]

The BEST Rod Stewart is his time with the Faces/ Try "Stay With ME" and "Had Me A Real Good Time". Listen to the Rod that was with the Faces. That is the Rod I love to remember. Great days and great concerts. Those boyz could party and they would tear it up in Detroit. AND Keep in your head this was 51 years ago

[@elizabethklaver7404]

We girls from the 70s fell in love with Rod the Bod because of this song.

[@amoh5]

This was Rod Stewart's first hit in 1971 that catapulted his music solo career to fame

[@desertdweller4501]

I’m going to give you a thumbs up 👍 before I even listen. Rod Stewart was big when I was in high school (class of ‘76) and Maggie Mae was huge.

[@88teffie]

This is the first song I ever remember hearing. I was 3 years old, we were living on the Marine base in 29 Palms Ca while my dad was in Viet Nam. I was laying on the floor on a giant floor pillow with all the long fringe, under giant 1970's style headphones, listening to my mom's reel to reel. It's literally the very first song I ever remember hearing.

[@ryanjsgrandma2009]

Cool story. Love the visual of it. Thanks!

[@davidbanks736]

Now that's a memory! Thanks for sharing. That's why music is such a special thing. My first musical memory is Town Called Malice by The Jam. A huge band in the UK between 77 and 82. I was 2 yrs old and always stayed at my Nans on a Saturday while Dad went to the football and Mum shopping etc. My Mums youngest brother would play it over and over upstairs until the bass line was stuck in my head forever. My uncle eventually gave me and my brother all his Jam records and I still cherish them to this day. Music makes memories happy and sometimes sad, but always beautiful in their own way.x

[@88teffie]

@@ryanjsgrandma2009 I remember spending a lot of time as a child laying on the floor under headphones listening to a reel my mom made for me. I'd lay on the floor & color while listening to Rod Stewart, Cat Stevens & Three Dog Night. My mom jokes that the tv wasn't my babysitter, the stereo was.

[@ryanjsgrandma2009]

@@88teffie isn’t it cool how certain music can transport u back to certain times in ur life. I think that’s why I like reaction channels, the songs invoke so many memories. Also I remember when I first heard these songs and how I felt at the time. Bless ur mom for having good taste in music!

[@jimilemons3437]

BJ nailed it - he’s a kid who has derailed his life for an older woman and he comes to realize he feels deeply for her but essentially he is just a pass time toy in her life. The two lines that make this clear are ‘I know I keep you amused, but I feel I’m being used’ and ‘The morning sun when it’s in your face really shows your age’.

[@TheBlack-my5yf]

You're right about Maggie May being an older woman: Key line: "The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age. But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything."

[@danarussell1291]

Rod Stewart is a GOAT!! He's one of the greatest entertainers ever!! Even the Queen knighted him!! Now he's Sir Rod Stewart!! He has one of the biggest catalog in music today!! And he's still handsome at 77!! ❤ Come on Asia, that's a classic song!! Listen to "Handbags and Gladrags"!! It will make your eyes water!!

[@capcolombie3834]

This is from back in the days when Rod was really on top from. Plus he was in an incredible band too, Faces.

[@dutch1800]

The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age. Maggie had a boy toy

[@Spazzmatazzz]

BJ was correct. It's a young guy with an older woman ("The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age") trying to figure out what he's going to do in life.

[@RyleighsMomma09]

I seen Rod in concert and when they played a few cords on the guitar the whole crowd started singing and he let us sing the whole first verse of the song…. It was AWESOME

[@KickyMickey1982]

I went to his concert last year in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and the same thing happened.

[@lxhobson]

I had this album back in the day ("Every Picture Tells a Story") The songs on this album were recorded when Rod was still a rocker -- prior to his becoming a disco king (yech!). So almost all of the songs on this album were really great. You should check out "I'm Losing You" and the title song, "Every Picture Tells a Story". BOTH just two of the best bangers of all time.

[@alfredristan3445]

One of those albums that does not have a bad song on it. Great stuff.

You've got to hear Mandolin Wind next. It's a beautiful love song from Mr. Rod Stewart.

I loved this song as an 11 year old. You could not turn on the radio with out hearing this song the summer and fall of 1971! It always brings me back to that time of my life. Wasn’t aware that Maggie May was that much older. It went over my head. Even though Rod said the morning sun showed her age in her face. Thank you for reacting. Love you both. 💚 You really do all different genres and really get in deep with Instruments and the lyrics. And if it wasn’t your greatest song you’ve ever heard or you really didn’t liked it you give us the truth without being shady. I feel some other reactors only say what they think they should or they totally disrespect a piece of music. Y’all don’t do that. And I’m thankful!

He was with the Faces at the time when he recorded this. Ron Wood wrote the music for this when he as well was with the Faces. This almost didn't get recorded but the record company needed one more song to complete the album and Wood spoke up and said, "I have this little ditty I have been working on" . Some little ditty, uh? True story about Rod when he was real young and was dating an older woman.

From 1969 to 1975, Rod Stewart was BOTH a solo artist and lead singer of the band "Faces." For the next song of his, I would suggest Faces' "Stay With Me," also from 1971. An upbeat rocker. His fellow Faces bandmate was guitarist Ron Wood, who went on to become a member of the Rolling Stones.

In 1971 Rod Stewart was part of a group called Faces. Faces had three members of the band Small Faces. Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenny Jones. They changed their name when Ronnie Woods and Rod Stewart joined them. The other member Steve Marriot left and became a member of Humble Pie. Faces was signed by Warner Records. Rod also had a Solo contract with Mercury Records at the same time. RIP Ronnie Lane. Thank You Asia and BJ.

[@davidbanks736]

Love this Rock family tree stuff. Let's not forget Rod and Ron were in The Jeff Beck Group before then after Jeff left the yardbirds where he was playing with Jimmy Page. Apparently Rod was so young and nervous he couldn't face the audience at first. Hard to imagine but what a sound they had. Then Humble pie, Steve Marriott was with Peter Frampton, a guitar great. Asia n Bj should defo check Small faces as Steve's vocals are awesome. Tin Soldier is amazing. Then u got Kenney Jones who replaced the legend that is Keith Moon on the drums in the Who after he died in 79. That is a brave man! I didn't know about the co running contracts Rod n the faces had. I read in Ron Woods book the band, especially the late great Ronnie Lane, lost the plot when they drove up to venues and the posters said Rod Stewart and the Faces. So disrespectful to Ronnie Lane who formed the small faces and wrote most of the songs. The contract thing makes sense now why that happened. Thanks for that.👍x

BJ’s right. Rod Stewart says he’s too lazy to write songs, that it’s torture for him, but this one just poured out of him. It had to come out. Like everyone has said, it’s about the older woman that charmed him to her house when he was 16. If it had been a 16 year old girl with a 35 year old man, they’d be screaming for his head, you know.

From Every picture tells a story album. An album in my parents record collection. I played it a thousand times. Rod Stewart, a scholar and a gentleman.

One of my all time fav songs. This was the first album I bought with my own money. Rod has one of the best voices going around. I like his early days with The Faces and the earlier era of his solo career

I was in junior high school when this song came out this is such a great song I guess you just had to be in the 70s to really get it total classic
