Rolling Stones Time Waits For No One In

Happy 50 th Anniversary Rolling Stones
Lyrics:
Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly yeh
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste
Time waits for one, no favours has he
Time waits for one, and he wont wait for me, yeh
Men, they build towers to the passing yes, to their fame everlasting
Here he comes chopping and reaping, hear him laugh at their cheating
And time waits for no man, and it won't wait for me
Yes, time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
Drink in your summer, gather your corn
The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
Time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me
No no no, not for me
nooo not for me.....

[@jcw3rd68]

This is one of the greatest, possibly most underrated, rock songs of all-time, and the best "slow" rock solo in guitar rock history...for sure in the Stones' amazing catalogue (IMHO). Beautiful and haunting, Mick Taylor teases you with a few lines after that first verse as a preview to the soaring, majestic, very emotive solo that begins around 3:22. Epic...RIP Charlie Watts.

[@clannad99germany70]

Indeed, indeed !!!

[@richlacey2100]

Agreed with everyone. Not only one of the Stones best, but possibly one of the best songs ever. Totally underrated, and one of the best guitar solos ever!

[@MTMF.london]

He is THE Rolling Stone for me. They were never as good once he was gone.

[@ArmandoMPR]

@@MTMF.london of all the different versions of the band, the one with Taylor was definitively the best. But "Some Girls" and "Tattoo You" are still must own Stones records.

[@brianelliott9861]

A masterpiece. Arrangement : brilliant. Lyrics : so poignant and evocative - Jagger's diction and delivery is perfect for the song. Piano : fantastic . Guitar solo - Taylor at his very best. Will be still admired in 1000 years time.

[@DornGeorg]

Apt assessment and excessive optimism.

[@fenwayify]

I think 1000 years is a bit optimistic...we'll be lucky to have another 100 at the rate we're going...which might not matter to us directly, but future generations? I doubt they'll be quite as fortunate...

[@mac3792]

Yes, the late great Nicky Hopkins on the brilliant piano parts.

[@falcon5467]

Bill Wyman's Moog Synthesizer is also a nice touch.

[@patsales5553]

The incomparable Nicky Hopkins on piano, he was the best, he deserves to have his name listed,

[@mfrost71w]

Surely the most beautiful and melancholic guitar solo in the history of rock and roll. So good it actually makes me cry

[@noneovyerbusiness4909]

This is the most profoundly beautiful song the Stones ever released. The lyrics paint an eloquent picture of the brevity of life.

[@brianelliott9861]

AGREE TOTALLY

[@fenwayify]

I agree wholeheartedly... and the guitar and piano form a majestic tapestry of dreamlike splendor, floating to the heavens. Unforgettable...a pointed anecdote to the vacuous, "Time is on my side."

[@starshiptrooper7670]

I agree. Moonlight Mile and Winter are classics as well.

[@wojciechlipka5525]

Mick Taylor at his best and in his prime. One of the few guitarrists, who feels and understands what music is. It is a pity that we can hear and admire him so seldom directly and or in the net. But it is probably the destiny of a genius who cannot be seen and enjoyd by everyone and everywhere. Having been a member of of John Mayall's band and of the Stones and having worked together with Jack Bruce he has become an eternal icon of blues.We can hope that he will be active in the blues scene many years ahead.

[@42awww]

And he and Jagger alone were responsible for this song. Possibly their finest. On the day of the passing of Charlie...

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

I never understood how this song wasn't a bigger hit than it was. I actually put this in the top ten songs The Stones ever did; it's certainly one of the last throes of their greatness after coming off of Sticky Fingers.

[@mmoffenbier]

Mick Taylor's solo work in this song is legendary, He is a true master and really does not get his due. Thank you nomad for putting this up.

[@nomadtraveller100]

Happy to share the Stones and Mick Taylor. :)

[@hippymoonchild]

Mick Taylor vastly underrated!!!

[@larrypower8659]

I’ve always felt Mick Taylor had been listening to the early ‘70s era Carlos Santana at this point. His solo has a lot more than a passing resemblance to Carlos’ playing on the Caravanserai album. “Song Of The Wind” seems like it was a template for Mick’s solo here. And it fits the song like a glove. All good! This one’s for you, Charlie. RIP, 8/24/21

[@peliche77]

[@yardbrother]

M.T, may be the most under rated guitarist I've ever had the pleasure listening to. No coincidence the Stones did their best work when he was in the band. Get Yer Ya Ya's Out incredible album. Glad to see other people appreciate him as well.

[@ptownscribe1254]

Funny, I think it's very much a coincidence that the Stones did their best work then, as they were peaking as songwriters, as many bands do around the seven-year mark. I love Mick Taylor, but Clapton or any talented blues-rock guitarist would've brought similar qualities to the Stones. Also, Beggar's Banquet and Let It Bleed were both written and recorded with minimal to no involvement of Taylor, who's not at all on BB, and plays minor parts on two songs on LIB.

[@toborg1511]

Of the rock songs considered greatest of all time, this one is underrated, under heard, and underappreciated... Another top example of the brilliance of Mick Taylor.

[@MrZeldalove]

The emotion in this song is so intense! Mick Jagger's scat singing cannot be learned - it must be felt. This makes him some type of genius to find his way around in this Mick Taylor song. The singing and Mick's guitar could move the soul of a brute.

[@williamcreighton1417]

No words can describe this amazing song

[@chrisdamon5367]

This song is one of the most beautiful in music history. I love a few of the Stones albums that followed, but I often wonder what they would have done if Taylor had stayed with the band. This one, along with Winter and Wild Horses, always brings a tear to my eyes. Astonishing beauty.

[@rickoshea4015]

Mick Taylor's work is unique and elegant. From his impeccable musicianship to the variety he brought to their sound, his was an invaluable contribution to the Stones during his time with them. Unlike Ronnie Wood, however, Mick Taylor was, like Billy Preston and other notable musicians, more of "special guest Stone," (at least to my mind) and I felt that way from the day of the announcement he had joined the band, that he was really taking Brian's place (as a "lead guitar" counterpoint to Keith) until they could find the perfect man for that job, and I believe they did. I give you, Ronnie Wood.... I hope my poor ability with the Word does not lead anyone to feel as if I have anything but great love, respect and admiration for Taylor as musician and especially as a guitarist. I didn't get to see the Stones play with him, but the recorded work he did with them will always stand apart as an incredibly prolific era of excellence in the guitar work in their songs collectively, and in his individual contribution to their sound.

[@naughtmoses]

He was the perfect, super-tasty foil for Keith's roughhouse riffing. Ronnie's a =fine= guitarist, but considering what he accomplished with Rod, he was wasted in the Stones. (He and Keith got on well, however; something no other guitarists ever did with KR.)

[@GravityBoy72]

Ronnie is a GREAT guitarist and has been (almost) completely wasted in the Stones. Sad. I like Hey Negrita. Some Girls had moments. Emotional Rescue as well. But... not the same credibility as 1969 to 1974. They were top of the game.
