My wife and I put our 2 1/2 year old twin girls down for a nap a few months ago. One refused to sleep, so I brought her downstairs. She loves music, so I asked our music device to play classic rock. My daughter started playing in a little tent castle my wife set up for her in our living room. We have been taking her to a speech therapist for some months because she has been having difficulty verbalizing like our other twin daughter. So there I was, sitting on the couch thinking, and worrying, and worrying about my daughter - and wishing she would verbalize more. At that moment, the Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” started playing. My daughter poked her head out of the tent, and she just looked at me … and she smiled. And I realize, she is just perfect the way she is, and she will learn to speak more in her own time. I am so lucky to have my children. “You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need, ah yeah.” So true. Count your blessings.

[@mickjagger8439]

Best Wishes to your family !

[@teressamckinnie6878]

@mikebrown1485 --- that's a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing that. I am a retired preschool teacher, and your daughter will eventually verbalize when she reaches that developmental stage, or I should say her stage of development, in her time....I used to sing this song to my preschool class whenever they were fighting over not getting exactly what they wanted when they wanted it, and in just a few months, my entire class knew the words. In November one year, at parent teacher conferences, one of my parents said his son was singing it at home by himself and he laughed and asked him where he learned it, and his son said ms. mckinnie taught it to me and he said he started cracking up laughing.... Music makes a huge difference in everyone's lives and it's a great way to teach kids patterns and also math, as music is essentially mathematical in structure and design... Take care 🌹✨💜

My boy was a late talker. He vocabulary was less than a 1/3 of his age group. His speech therapist told me 3 yrs was the magic number. “When he wants to start, the floodgates will open.” Three yrs and 4 weeks later, the floodgates opened and 17 yrs later, I’d be okay with a little silence 😉. Good things come to those who patiently wait. She’s going to thrive with the love you obviously provide. ❤

I remember a disaster in my life only a few short years ago and the catharsis I felt at that orchestral part at 4:10. Its a few years later and I am here surviving, with a whole other set of different problems. It will be OK.

I wonder if an artist in 2020 could convince his producers to let him open a song with a choir and a french horn solo. Especially if you were a blues-rock band. Tremendous creativity. Bring back the sixties!

[@GeorgeStar]

100% The scope, the depth, the breadth, the creativity is breathtaking. Makes today's no-talent, crotch grabbing one-note wonders look pathetic.

No because they care about the bottom line, never take any chances and have zero artistic integrity, music is a joke now

You are so true. The stones are doing a tour in St. Louis on the 26th of September this year. Charlie( drummer) won't be there for the 1st time since 1969, but is 80 and recovering from emergency surgery. Then Charlotte, etc. I'm from Missouri and would love to go, but later they'll be in Nashville as well and that's closer to Kentucky, where I moved to. Love The Stones. 💜

[@ehehehehehehe8549]

In the summer months of 2019, Spotify harassed me with this song. Every daily mix I played, it was there. Every recommended playlist? It was there. I could not escape it. Then in late August of that year, I finally succumbed to the Spotify algorithm. Oh my God. I'm so glad I did. This song gives me a sense of nostalgia that I can't quite explain, and a sense of reassurance. I listen to it whenever I feel blue or just need a pick me up, and I also play it whenever. The beginning is wonderful, so is the acoustic section at 0:53-2:03 and so 3:28-3:49 and 4:16-4:30 AND 5:44 to the end. Actually, I stand corrected: 0:00-7:30 is the most magnificent part. Enjoy first-time listeners and thousand-time listeners alike! Edit: I was also supposed to see them in May, but of course that was canceled, and overall this song has helped me get through the hardships of 2020 and beyond.

[@andyba.8501]

There is Brown Sugar, Beast of Burden, Paint it black, Start me up, Sympathy for the Devil or Tumblin Dice...but nothing beats this masterpiece. For me personally this is the definition of the Stones. But that's debatable haha. I just love it. R.I.P. Charlie

For some inexplicable reason, this song ALWAYS reminds me of an elusive girlfriend from decades past. I met Mary back in the early 90s while living just outside Washington DC. We were both young, up-and-coming professionals of promise in our respective fields. Mary was a lithesome, brilliant, free-lance journalist with contributions in US News & World Report and other highly-regarded, syndicated print publications. Winsome, slender, perceptive, and with legs up to her neck and piercing blue-eyes that perceived much and missed little, Mary was the kind of woman all men sought, as did I. But Mary had another agenda, one that didn't include love, marriage and all the things that modern women (as they always have) considered impediments to a successful career. Mary rejected my romantic overtures, but was tactful enough to do so in such a way as to remain a close friend and confident. I didn't mind since I knew the sea was full of fish, and female companionship, so I was content to be her back-up when she needed a date somewhere with someone who wouldn't try get into her shorts at the end of the evening. Together we had many splendid outings, from parties at Embassy's and the World Bank to steeple chases in the Virginia country side. Indeed, even when I attend those events now, I still half expect to see her there, with her long blonde hair flowing, glittering in the iridescent sun, surrounded by admirers. And I have to say, in that capacity as a friend, we had tremendous fun. No relationship complications, no fights, we were pretty much like brother and sister (in fact, we both introduced the other to people as just that). In the end, I finally met the woman of my dreams, to whom I've been married for some 23 years now. But I still hold dear those memories of Mary, of what was and what might have been. There's not a street corner or sidewalk in Georgetown or Old Town, Alexandria that doesn't evoke memories of our time together. Sadly, Mary passed away a few years back of cancer. It came as a shock as I had spoken to her only a couple weeks before her passing and she sounded as strong and vibrant as ever. The funny thing is, after her passing, one of her friends confided that Mary had always adored me. I miss her every day, or perhaps it was the magic of our youth that I miss now and of lives free from consequences, but at any rate, Mary was the one thing in life that I wanted but couldn't get, but in exchange, I got what I needed. Thanks, Mary...and now through the past, darkly, she comes. :-)

[@pawlygon929]

This was beautiful. Thanks

[@axiomist4488]

That was wonderful to read. I never read loooong comments, but I remained riveted to this one to the end. It's a bittersweet ending . I felt like I was listening to a close friend tell me the story. You must be a writer too ?

Happy 50th anniversary to this wonderful hit of The Rolling Stones! I’ve ALWAYS dug the choir introduction; they’ve always reminded me of the kids’ choir in the (1970’s) Electric Company Song “He plays the violin on the vine.” Then again, being that Electric Company was produced after this song was, the choir of kids singing “Violin on the vine” could have been inspired by the choir into in this.

Last year I started reconnecting with an old friend. Back in the day, he was 3 years younger than me and was my brothers best friend for years. Over time, things have changed and now I spend time with him for weekends throughout the year. His name is Jimmy (or James)(or Worma), but now I call him Mr Jimmy. And he still has no clue what I am talking about, but maybe this summer I will tell him. I still can't figure out why he doesnt ask me why I call him that? But for me, he is Mr Jimmy and this song would not exist without Mr Jimmy. You can look it up, but Mick Jagger met Mr Jimmy while waiting in line at the drug store. Mr Jimmy ordered a Cherry Coke, but got a plain coke instead, he told Mick, you can't always get what you want.
