Keith writes the lyrics.

[@sonsdoingles]

+Robert Dunkes SR It's the other way around, mostly.

[@winningbigly6666]

+Robert Dunkes SR No he doesn't actually. Mick writes most of the lyrics and Keith writes the music. There's a few exceptions like Happy, Thru & Thru and he contributes to some of the lyrics but Mick is the one that wrote this as far as I know. I don't think Mick gets enough credit for his writing. He's easily one of the best lyricists in rock n' roll history. From 64-82, he kept a ridiculously high standard of writing songs. Arguably the longest time period of quality music from any band ever.

[@j.fullmoon31]

Yeah! St. Marks Bar and Grill in the East Village in NYC! I Moonlit here during the early 80s, when this was filmed there! Tiny Polish hangout Bar for all my regulars & visitors! I bartended there nightly, after my day job! Was always asked "Where's the pole Mick leaned on in the Video?" I started putting Bar napkins on the pole, when opening up the bar daily at 4pm "Mick leaned on this pole, for "Waiting on a Friend" 🧡 and I would always replace the napkins daily, after Fans took my napkins down! What great memories in my Hometown. Thank you guys! I'll never forget, neither will my friends, who would come at 10pm nightly, to be with me, when I got off the clock! ❤❤ Great days with the 1st Video Jukebox, in Manhattan right in front of me! COOL 😎

[@cpman1987]

I remember watching this video for the very first time, back in 1981 on MTV! I was at my older sister's apartment . She had just got cable and MTV wasn’t even a year old yet! This video was one of the first music videos in heavy rotation and this song was all over the radio! I remember hearing Sonny Rollin’s smooth tenor saxophone, it was everything! It completely “blew” me away!! Along with Mick Jagger's hypnotic vocals and acoustic guitar cords!! 🎸 Keith Richards , Bill Wyman and Ronnie Woods's melodic guitar riffs along with the late Great Charlie Watts on drums!! Of course Nicky Hopkins was awesome on piano!! And rounding out the assemble of Amazing musicians on this classic track, was Michael Carabello on congas!! Great Song and Great Times! The Stones definitely “slew” this mellow rock opus!! 40 years later, this song has aged like a vintage cognac! Rock On, Stones!! 🤘

Watching girls go passing by It ain't the latest thing I'm just standing in a doorway I'm just trying to make some sense Out of these girls go passing by The tales they tell of men I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend A smile relieves a heart that grieves Remember what I said I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend Don't need a whore I don't need no booze Don't need a virgin priest But I need someone I can cry to I need someone to protect Making love and breaking hearts It is a game for youth But I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend

David Money, indeed, was it easier and more civil to encounter new friends when folks actually conversed eye-to-eye. That was why the muses were freer.

[@RedgeSanders]

What's Truly wonderful about an Original artist, an Original musician, is that......When they've come up with something New....it's really Nifty when their Music is Cool, compact, and simple. "Waitin' for a friend" is an EXACT Example of that Originality...2 Chords'.....Wow!! This beautiful Rhythm-intro by Keith Richard's, being just those 2 Chords, carrie's the Whole excellent song and, thank Goodness, hard to forget...!! The 1st. chord having 5 strums and the 2nd. with 2. And you know it's from him, Keith, and you're better-off for it..!!

[@ferm8103]

That particular one started in 1972 , an unfinished/unreleased track from the goats head soup album, as is a healthy amount of songs for the tattoo you album from which this is from, start me up?, an unfinished reggae song mid 70's, converted into the globally popular monster of the opening of the album, nobody's better btw !

[@TravelsWithBrindle]

This video came out when I was little. My dad showed it to me and said “look, they’re on Sesame Street!” Now I’m wondering if Keef scored some junk off of Oscar.

[@PeaceandQuiet12345]

How conveniently they forget....Mick Taylor on lead guitar... "Recording of 'Waiting on a Friend' (as 'Waiting for a Friend') began in late 1972 through early 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica, during the Goats Head Soup sessions when the band still had Mick Taylor as a member. His guitar piece made it to the overdubbing sessions in April 1981 when the song was selected by Tattoo You producer Chris Kimsey as one the band could re-work for the album."

I used to go to that bar all the time in the late 80s early 90s. There was a mural of Mick and Keith on the brick wall by the little platform where bands would play. The guy sitting at the front entrance worked there and was always there. Now it’s a coffee shop and they painted over the mural :-/. There was a copy of Tattoo You hanging up in the back and when I asked the manager if he knew why that was up there he had no idea.

Cdnt say it better....

[@cheski8468]

+Sullen Morbius Cool video for a cool song filmed at a cool location. Well it is now, back in the early eighties it was pretty hairy down in the LES. (That building, with Mick and Keith sitting on the stoop, on St. Mark's Place also appeared on Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album cover). It's a one way street that runs smack (pardon the pun) into the middle of Tompkins Square Park, half a block away. At the time, that park was a notorious open air heroin market where kids overdosed on a daily basis and the gang wars starting as crack hit NYC. Can you imagine any band as big as the Stones shooting a video there? Just the Stones, staying on the cutting edge. It's probably the last place anyone would shoot a video for this type of song, but it's the perfect spot if you think about it. The lyrics describe them trying to make sense of their lives and find deeper meaning to it, in a world of booze, drugs and sex, which the East Village was a playground for. The grittiness and grimness of the place, which can't be fully captured on film, really does accentuate Taylor's soft guitar style and Rollin's smooth sax. The Stones are all about showing the beauty and the ugliness of the world and ourselves.
