FIRST TIME REACTING TO | ROLLING STONES "WILD HORSES" REACTION

[@firedoc5]

My favorite Stones song. Shows how versatile they can be, slow, bluesy, and smooth, and not just hard rockers.

[@JennLynnTarot]

This song and "Angie" are two of my favorites 💓 Both beautiful 💓 Love your reactions 🥰

[@greendragonpublishing]

Yes, two of their most powerful ballads

[@diannaw3034]

This is wonderful.. but the studio version is simply divine.. and will melt you to your core!!!!!

[@Joanna-ny1iv]

Mick Jagger wrote Wild Horses about his then girlfriend Marianne Faithfull and their relationship that was falling apart since she became depressed & addicted to heroin after she lost their child in a miscarriage at 7 months and almost died after swallowing 150 sleeping pills in an attempted suicide in Australia... where she fell in a coma for 6 days and everyone thought she was gonna die, but Mick was beside her bed and begged that she wouldn't die and said "please don't go my darling, please don't go" and then she woke up and said "wild horses couldn't drag me away". So that's where that line comes from... She writes a lot about this era in her autobiography "Faithfull". Marianne also wrote in her autobiography that he played that song for her in their living room when she was about to leave him and that she broke down in tears in his arms. She also wrote that she loved him and he loved her so much, and that she wished that she had stayed with him... but she was a heroin junkie and just wanted to be left alone at the time and she didn't want to drag him down with her. It's a very sad love story... Even Mick's later wife Jerry Hall has said that Marianne Faithfull was the love of his life and the woman that he has loved the most and that he never really got over her...

[@alanjollimore4035]

Singer is Mick Jagger, band, Rolling Stones, 60 years a band still doing it. Only another approximately 450 songs and you will have heard them all ) .

[@pamagnolia]

One of my favorite songs by one of the greatest rock bands ever!

[@lightingprotogo]

Studio version with lead guitar licks is far superior . Mix and Nashville tunings/harmonics make it ear candy. This live stripped down version is raw and intimate, but is not remotely in the same league. If you liked this, you will love the other. One of their best. Up there with so many of their others . Don’t miss their overlooked gems like “Fool to cry” or “Out of tears”

[@mojomegaman]

Whole heartedly agree. Keith's random solo licks are the heart to this song. Great tune regardless, but the studio is world-class superstar material.

[@tomroome4118]

I have been listening to the original studio version for 52 years. This stripped down acoustic is actually refreshing.

[@robertnathan2843]

Mick Taylor on lead🎸

[@lightingprotogo]

@@robertnathan2843 I agree. Stones have had great success, first with Jones, then Taylor and Wood. Each play off Richard’s seamlessly. I lean towards preferring the Taylor years music, but it’s a close horse race as I’m an big fan of the other two too. Ronnie with Rod are high on my list as well.

[@robertnathan2843]

@@lightingprotogo Cool. I was just pointing out that it's Taylor licks in Wild Horses

[@bennysmith416]

This song was written and recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound recording studio in Sheffield Alabama along with Brown Sugar. During a 2 day recording session engineered by Jimmy Johnson. It was featured in the Documentary Muscle Shoals. They along with other artists like Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, Cher, Boz Skaggs, and Bob Segar among many others Have recorded in our area studios.

[@lynnwest2882]

My favorite Stones song. Started listening to the Stones (and Beatles) in high school mid-1960s. I was attending the University of Colorado in the summer of 1971 working at a bar called the Sink when this song was played often on the jukebox. I fell in love with the song and have had a lifelong love affair with it. Fast forward to 2003 and the affair is still alive as I am at age 73. Love ya, Mick and Paul!

[@botabob]

Wild Horses and Time is on My Side are my two favorite Rolling Stones songs.

[@roberttaylor5997]

You should hear the studio version, on the Sticky Fingers album. There are also some pretty good covers out there.

[@willfromyadkinville]

they have best! when it comes to covers i love The Sundays cover! Harriet Wheelers voice is stunning!

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

Love your reactions. They are thoughtful and on point. I think the bulk of this song was written by Graham Parsons & Keith Richards. I could be wrong, but I've heard that more than a few times...

[@James-ko3gw]

Wild horses couldn't keep me away from your channel 🎉

[@TylerD288]

🤢

[@scottedwards33]

This is mainly a Keith Richards song. It’s about him being sad about leaving his family to go on tour but the wild horses can’t drag him away from the road.

[@deniskostic1502]

Nope This song is dedicated to Mik girlfriend

[@samil5601]

Whilst I'm sure Keith has written a number of songs about Mick's ladies, it is well documented that this was about having to leave his newborn son behind to go on tour. It was in some people's minds linked to the Marianne Faithfull situation, but Mick certainly didn't need help to drag himself out of that.

[@margaretflounders8510]

@@samil5601 Correct......

[@ct8449]

One of my favorite Stones song. I don't usually like song covers, but Susan Boyle (from Britain's Got Talent) sang a great version of this one. Great reaction to the video!

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction Britt! I've grown up listening to the Stones for decades. They have always been an amazing rock band. However, their ballads really show their musicality.

[@zolarwaka8576]

This is a new an up-and-coming band!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

One of my favorite songs by them. And this really was a sweet performance of it. You really ought to check out the original studio cut though, it's what we all heard on the radio growing up and on the record albums and it's just so well done. But it still has that loose organic feel to it but it just packs so much emotion. And this version seems to be missing an instrumental bridge unless I just blinked and missed it.

[@bruceslusherhorsemanshipbr1216]

Classic "Stones". The "Sundays" did a excellent cover and was used on an episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Enjoy the day.

[@kaltwies]

Awesome version!

[@briang6815]

my preferred version = The Sundays

[@wanderer0617]

Rolling Stones is my all time favorite Rock and Roll band. I've seen them 8 times lol. This is my favorite of their ballads. There's so many of their songs to recommend reacting to. Live versions of 90s Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Honkey Tonk Woman with Tina Turner. Oh I could go on. So much talent and energy, fantastic song writing. Mick Jagger, no one else like him, well, except Tina, who inspired his moves.

[@jwmson7791]

My fav Stones song. ♥️🎶

[@jamesparker9043]

Britt, you’ll want to react to another Rolling Stones song called “Waiting on a friend” Trust me on this one. It’s a soulful good energy, pleasant song……and it has some outstanding Saxophone in it. Yes it does. It’s one of their very best. Another song worth reacting to by the Stones is “Lady Jane”. Now this is an oldie dating back to 1965. So it’s got that hippie beatnik vibe going on. But it’s such a unique song, even unique for The Rolling Stones.

[@trickhayproductions]

the rolling stones are the longest running group. they have been out since the 60's and just retired. They were out for 60 years or so and had about 60 albums of various music. the modern song that says moves like jagger is about the lead singer mick jagger of the rolling stones.

[@danhurd9864]

They have not retired

[@scgreek1114]

Sometimes the studio version is better. Like now. Yes, the Rolling Stones are a British band. The band was formed over 60 years ago. In the 70's after the Beatles broke up they were rated the greatest rock band in the world. 62 million albums sold in the U.S. including 8 #1 albums and 9 #1 hits. They're still touring.

[@artsilva]

The Rolling Stones is the biggest, most dynamic and diverse rabbit hole to get lost in, keeping in mind that they have been making music and touring for 60 years now. They are a major influence in rock and roll blues as they were part of the original British invasion in the early 60s and considered the original bad boys of rock. Every rock band that came after them owes a lot to these legends.

[@coy0te9]

As much as I love Mick and the lads, no. The original bad boys were Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis.

[@artsilva]

​@@coy0te9 check the levels of the debauchery between them and you'll see WHY the stones are holding the OG title..

About one of the greatest bands the world has ever known, and ever will know: "Some of you guys were telling me this is an English band, they're from England".... I had to LOL at that one.... we truly do live in a different age don't we? Now I'm feeling like a bloody dinosaur!

[@mrb4749]

Loved this in 71, still do. Deep meaning. Lead singer is Mick Jagger from the UK. Started in 64, actually still performing probably 80 now. Part of the British Invasion the Beatles started it in 64 and many great recording acts followed. No doubt Wikipedia explains the British Invasion too lengthy for me to explain here.

[@omvan996]

StoneMania.. best regards from your fans in Indonesia, thank you BrittReaction

[@Rassskle]

I can’t believe you didn’t know they were an English band until recently...... ? The Rolling Stones formed in 1963 as a blues band and quickly moved towards rock as they wrote their own songs. By 1964 / 65 they were challenging the Beatles as the worlds most popular pop band......and were already the most popular ROCK band. From the late 1960’s up until 2022, yes.....last year, they have been the WORLDS top touring rock band, always in the top 3 every year. When Kiss were at their peak in the 1980’s , it was the Rolling Stones and Jethro Tull that were filling the stadiums....... both bands grossing double whatever Kiss were making. ( Was stated that during the 1980’s both The Stones and Tull netted over 5 Million each year just in the USA ). In 2021 , just over 12 months ago, The Rolling Stones was once again the worlds BIGGEST touring band. The Beatles may have started the British Invasion of pop into the USA, but it was the Rolling Stones who led the invasion with blues and rock...... ( 1964 / 65 )...... and still rule the American ROCK music scene with record sales and live concerts.

[@johnkayak5488]

Rolling Stones formed in 1962!

[@Rassskle]

@@johnkayak5488 That might be correct but when I looked it up ( Wikipedia lol) it said 1963 and first hit record in 1964. However, we both know we can’t believe anything from Wikipedia, or the internet for that matter.

[@danhurd9864]

1962 formation!

[@BilbusWilbury]

I do love this 90s/00s era of the Stones where Jagger over enunciates everything he sings. It helps on some of the songs and is weird on others, but it generally works here. There is some controversy as to whether Mick Jagger or Gram Parsons wrote this song originally, Jagger/Richards is credited fwiw. Parsons at the very least helped inspire the Stones toward a more country direction in the late 60s and early 70s before his untimely demise.

[@terryyoung3225]

Part of the original British Invasion of the sixties, a contemporary of the Beatles, The Kinks, Dave Clark Five, and many others. Two of the original members have passed but the band is still rocking.

[@quintondees4501]

[@patrickscanlan1016]

"Wild horses couldn't drag me" is an old time expression. My mom used to say it, "wild horses couldn't drag me to that party" etc. This is one of their best songs IMHO.

Written by Jagger/Richard's, this was first recorded by the Flying Burrito Brothers for their album Burrito Deluxe. The Stones did it for Sticky Fingers a year or so later.

[@Boatzilla2]

"I believe they're a British band." Are you playin'? Anyway, your speaking style is intoxicating and your videos are excellent, no doubt. Thanks so much for sharing. You might want to check out "Honky Tonk Women" next. It's a good one with bluesy country sound featuring an unmistakable cow bell opening.

[@nancikuba42]

When she said that I had to realize how many generations I lived through. The first time I realized that was 40 yrs ago when someone asked me who the other 2 members of the Beatles were. She said she only knew Paul & John. I agree, Honky Tonk Women & I love the cowbells with the base drum drop. Definitely.

[@stevedennis4197]

Keith Richards wrote this song for his friend Graham Parsons that is no longer alive. Parsons was lead singer for the Flying Burrito Brothers. A rock/country group. You may enjoy that version as well.

[@loisfreeman1646]

Susan Boyle sings that song also. She sang it when she came to America after making it big in Britian. You need to react. It's awesome.

[@slkinia]

The last half of the third verse was changed slightly in this version, Britt. The original lyrics read: Faith has been broken Tears must be cried Let's do some living After we die. Somewhat more enigmatic in the original.

[@stevegibbons8941]

Wild horses couldnt drag me away, is/was a common British expression, often used to express peoples passionate intent to do, or not to do - something. Great reaction, Cheers.

[@mjp3186]

I would really like to see your reaction on the album version. Thisvis a sort of unplugged version. They did a concert in Paradiso, a small venue in Amsterdam. They projecten it on screen at the Museum Square, a kind of free concert. It was great. A lot of happy very relaxed people.thanks for your reaction.

[@mikec6733]

The symbol "wild horses", for most of the song represents how strong his love is Then, at the end, once he's faced the inevitability of the break up, the idea switches to riding the "wild horses" for adventure and fun.

[@hlawrencepowell]

I always like your reactions. You're so animated and make some very astute observations and comments. But some day you'll have to explain how it's possible to be in your mid-30s and had never heard this song before or didn't know that The Rolling Stones, the most epic and enduring band in history, is British. That borders on the incredulous. I don't wish to demean reactors in any way. I'd love to understand.

[@kaltwies]

You should listen to The Sundays version of this song from the movie “Fear” which starred Reese Witherspoon and Marky Mark.

[@bradgordon3760]

Your reaction is quite interesting. I think you're a great reactor and do well here again. It kind of stuns me that you're not seemingly aware of The Rolling Stones. They are up there with The Beatles and Led Zeppelin as one of the most popular rock bands in history. They have countless hits and deep tracks. I wouldn't even know where to begin to direct you. Paint It Black, Sympathy for The Devil, Beast of Burden, She's A Rainbow. Satisfaction and Brown Sugar are probably their biggest "hits". I guess to just get started.

The distinctly non rhotic (leaving out the R) way he pronounces hosses is a common way of hearing the word pronounced in the southern Appalachian dialect. It shows the strong British influence that still remains in our language here in the mountains, mainly due to the long period of isolation after our ancestors settled here from England. The isolation continued here till well into the 70s, its end being historically attributed to the advent of TVA bringing electricity and progress to the region.

This is a great version in my book, total ear candy. Like that you sing back some measures….pretty much on it to my ear.

[@SteveJonesHimself]

I'm not weighing in on the Gram Parsons authorship debate other than to say he unquestionably, at least, significantly influenced this song and the over all direction that the band took about this time. Gram infected them with the emerging L.A. country scene and they were glad for it -- they loved Americana. You probably would enjoy Gram's first solo album, The Flying Burrito Brothers material, and the Byrds' album, Sweetheart of the Radio. All really nice. And if you like those things, there's a gold mine of related things that happened around then. Check out Poco. But if you like *this* song done by *this* band, you should hear their hit "Angie". And also "Memory Motel", off "Black and Blue". There's a whole lot more to discover about The Stones, if you care to.
