The Rolling Stones-100 Years Ago
About This Video"100 Years Ago" is a song featured on their 1973 album Goats Head Soup.
Credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, guitarist Mick Taylor said at the time of its release, "Some of the songs we used (for the album) were pretty old. '100 Years Ago' was one that Mick [Jagger] had written two years ago and which we hadn't really got around to using before." The song is described by Tom Maginnis in his review as having a, "wistful air with a country lilt... before making several tempo shifts into a funky, sped-up groove..."The song's lyrics see Jagger reflect on aging.The song then veres into a distinctive breakdown, slowing considerably before Jagger begins singing a verse in a noticable drawl, before speeding back-up and turning into a funk jam of sorts.Recording took place at Kingston's Dynamic Sound Studios in November and December, 1972, with a final mix conducted in June 1973. Jagger performs lead vocals and is accompanied by Richards on backing. Taylor performs the song's guitars while Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts perform bass and drums, respectively. Nicky Hopkins provides piano while Billy Preston performs clavinet.
Lyrics
Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange
It seemed about a hundred years ago
Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate
Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky
What tender days we had no secrets hid away
Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago
Now all my friends is wearing worried smiles
Living out a dream of what they was
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
Can't you see the furs in my forehead?
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
Now it seems about a hundred years ago
Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine
Don't worry 'bout this man that you love
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn ya
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn ya
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn ya
Please excuse me while I hide away
Call me lazy bones
Ain't got no time to waste away
Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away
Don't you think, don't you think, it's just about time to hide away? Yeah, yeah!
Oh kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me baby, good-bye, yeah
Good-bye, yeah, good-bye, yeah, good-bye, yeah
Come on, kiss me
Yeah, your gonna kiss me baby - bye
I warn ya, I warn ya, I warn ya I warn ya, I warn ya!
