The song was written about the end of Mick Jagger's long relationship with Marianne Faithfull. She was in the hospital in Australia while he was filming the movie "Ned Kelly" (1970) when the idea of wild horses not being able to drag him away came to him as he stayed by her bedside, then after she fully recovered, the relationship eventually came to an end and Mick Jagger wrote the song. It's a sad love song.
.. this isn't about the Denver Broncos ?..good point Brad made about "under my thumb" song..this was recorded in Muscle Shoals Alabama "Muscle Shoals" documentary is amazing
@@bradcolorado8149 I really liked the Muscle Shoals documentary as well. I felt like it gave a lot of insight into the artists they worked with. It also made sense for me as far as the reference to it in âSweet home Alabama â đ drove me crazy trying to figure it out
Richardâs wrote the music and chorus and handed it off to Jagger for the verses.
Jagger says in liner notes to jump back that it wasn't.
Add Gram Parsons to the songwriting creds, and note that Richards had his young son in mind when he started on the lyrics. Jagger has denied that it was about Faithful, but that's doubtful.
"Wild horses couldn't drag me away" is an old expression meaning nothing could persuade me to leave or to not go.
Like, itâs weird to me that someone could reach their age & not know that. I think I r known that saying since I was probably 5 or 6 years old.
Yes, a "turn of phrase" that, apparently, has not survived to the modern generation.
lol I love how younger black folk are starting to listen and appreciate the classics instead of bullshit rap songs
"Wild horses couldn't drag me away" is an expression. Because they're seen as an irresistible force.
Arguably their best song .. Angie and Wild Horses are both beautiful songs â€ïž
Agree they're excellent and Angie, an underrated song, had a beautiful melody. Wild Horses a bit more melancholy. Helps to be in the mood.
Absolutely. Well said.
for sure at least 1 of them
Angie is the better song of the 2. IMO
Wish I could find the Parody someone did. They called it Bambi! One of the lines went⊠slapped your carcass on my hood, boy that Deer Meat sure tastes good, from your neck down to your thiiiiigh. Funny as hell.
Uh, I'd argue that... great songs though!
Mick Jagger is one of the greatest lyricists ever. Heâs so underrated.
I do agree
even though it isn't a "typical" Stones song, it is a perfect representation of what makes them great. Its rough, but sensitive. Its sloppy, but pristine. Dichotomy personified. \m/ \m/
But it is a typical Stones song during their golden period. They were always heavily rooted in Americana, and their peak was their rootsiest from 1968-1972.
It's real. They're real.
IMO this is the most beautiful Rolling Stones song. Beautiful arrangements. Beautifully sung. Amazing production. A sad song that sometimes brings a tear to my eye (depending on my mood). The Stones made such a wide range of songs, it always amazed me. This song is proof of how their music can be both intricate and simple at the same time. Just beautiful.
I think Angie is hauntingly beautiful imo.
I think something like âMoonlight Mileâ (from the same album) is more technically beautiful, while âWild Horsesâ is more achingly beautiful.
Yup... those chord changes.
Their ballad are their best Song
One of the three songs recorded at the legendary "Muscle Shoals" studio. This is my favorite Stones track ever. Sticky fingers is also my favorite album by them.
Grew up near there. Great music town
Me too! Iâm always trying to get these reactors to watch the documentary
@@russlanders6518 Yeah, the documentary is fantastic. So many people don't realize what a great hit making studio it really was and how much the "Swampers" contributed to well known songs
I worked at a Bose store years ago and this was such a great audio recording they would use it as a demo on absolutely everything. Home Theater systems, iPod/iPhone docks, blue tooth speakers it didnât matter. Iâve probably heard this recording over 1000 times.
I still have the 901's I bought back in the mid 80's. This song, through those speakers is pure heaven!!!
@@carlaharrington5120 they still sold them when I worked for them not too long ago. We didnât sell many because most people were looking for all in one tv/movie speaker systems or small portable speakers. I did sell a pair of them though.
Nice
This is some peak Rolling Stones as far as ballads go. Mick is on his A game here vocally and the band brings the loose band feel to it so it doesn't sound so calculated like a lot of pop rock love ballads do. Fantastic lyrics.. romance that comes from a relationship of real pain.
In the liner notes to the 1993 Rolling Stones compilation album Jump Back, Jagger states, "I remember we sat around originally doing this with Gram Parsons, and I think his version came out slightly before ours. Everyone always says this was written about Marianne but I don't think it was; that was all well over by then. But I was definitely very inside this piece emotionally." Richards says, "If there is a classic way of Mick and me working together this is it. I had the riff and chorus line, Mick got stuck into the verses. Just like "Satisfaction", "Wild Horses" was about the usual thing of not wanting to be on the road, being a million miles from where you want to be."
I do like Gram Parsons version a little better. Melanie even did a great version. More raw. Great lyrics.
"Sticky Fingers", the album this is from, is my favorite Album by anyone, ever. It is the Stones at their creative peak. Every song is perfect. You've got to do "Can't you Hear Me Knocking". The long jam at the end of straight đ„
Something about watching people enjoy a song for the first time that you love so much is so satisfying.
Im not a huge RS fan, so I only discovered this song a few years back myself. I absolutely love it. This and "Angie" (which I always thought he was singing "Angel"... still sounds like it to me.).
It's funny to see I'm not the only person that always thought it said "Angel" when I was younger. I eventually figured it out lol
This Angie and ruby tuesday.
People who donât like âTumbling Diceâ have no soul. Fact!
Love this song. I used to sing this to my daughter at bedtime, along with U2's MLK. Hearing it brings back those times when the house was filled with the pitter patter of little feet. Some day soon, the two of you will know that feeling. âïž
If youâd like to hear another sad,acoustic-based song from The Rolling Stones,I recommend âMemory Motelâ
I love deep lyrics. Really one of the best Rolling Stones song.
I consider this song one of their under rated tracks. Showed they could do a beautiful blues ballad, even sad lyrically when you know what the song is about.
Wild Horses is underrated? I don't know about that. It's probably played 100 times a day on classic rock stations across the country.
I mean I know the Stones have so many songs and hits over their 60 year career. But compared to songs that are played even more than Horses, like Satisfaction or Sympathy or Jumping Jack Flash it might be underrated. If not underrated at least showed they could play slower ballads, along with Angie. Rock, blues, ballads, funk, disco. What could these guys not do?
It's probably one of their most covered songs and far from âunderrated.â I would also classify it as a country-blues ballad of the highest caliber.
The word "underrated" is probably the most "overrated" word among many CZcams commenters.
On every CZcams reaction video, somebody will call whatever or whoever it is "underrated". You can count on it. Underrated has to be the #1 most overused word on these videos. What's even worse, you can tell that they actually mean "underappreciated" more times than not, but they've seen people calling everything underrated that they just go with that word when that's not what they mean.
To see a rock and roll band give it all they got even at their age now and without Charlie it's incredible one true band that loved what they did
"As Tears go By" should be next on your stones list
Another person that doesn't get how this works. They only react to the songs that people pay them to play.
@@mavjagmaverick1527 Well now- I never knew that either !
@@mavjagmaverick1527 What the point of your comment ? Because ANYWAY, it could inspire sponsors to pay for this one. And it was more saying about Kevin Patrick appreciation of their music than a fast food order.
It seems that you don't have a brain working good enough so you have to "explain"... Typical Dunning Kruger case. Oh YOU KNOW how it works... Muhahahahaha....
@@rogerbarrett9920 Hi Syd... Wish you were him.
@@garryiglesias4074 - Not likely! As Roger Waters said, he was brilliant when he was young but destroyed himself experimenting with psychedelic drugs. He was born slightly before me.
This was originally recorded by Gram Parsons. As others have noted, Parsons was a pioneer in country rock with The Byrds, The International Submarine Band, The Flying Burrito Brothers & his collaborations with Emmylou Harris.
Not originally recorded by the Burrito Bros but theirs was released first. Stones gave them their blessing to record it
One of my favorite Stones songs. Some of the best singing Mick has ever done.
Have you ever heard âLet it Looseâ by the Stones?
The Rolling Stones are one of if not *the* best Country and Western band. This song is just one such example of their brilliance in this genre. Gram Parsons was a great influence.
The Stones Country and Western, are you kidding đ
@@donnabruhn6907 Brad Paisley said that on top of being one of the best rock bands they are one of the 5 best country and western bands. They do have a number of songs that would fit that genre I guess. I don't know. I don't care. Not really a country western fan.
My favorite Rolling Stones song. This beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
There is an old expression that goes - - - Wild horses couldn't drag me away from that , or you or whatever. Thats all they are talking about here. I'm not going anywhere. Wild horses couldn't drag me away. Supposedly Mick and Keith started this song as a means of expressing how they didn't want to be back on the road and away from home. Keith from his baby and Mick from his girlfriend. It was actually written as a song for Gram Parsons to record.
Brad, "wild horses couldn't drag me away" is a common expression that means nothing could make me stop loving you, nothing could make me leave you. The strength and freedom of "wild horses" give you a feel for the strength of this relationship. The very notes of the wild horses musical phrase illustrate the strength of his love and the stress of possibly losing her. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it.
Although he didn't get a writing credit, the story goes that Gram Parson helped write this song and influenced some of the Stones' other countrified tunes like Dead Flowers and Country Honk. Parsons is worth a deep dive as a huge influence on country rock. Emmylou Harris' Boulder to Birmingham is a tribute to Parsons after he died of a heroin overdose and well worth a listen.
Gram od'd in room 8 while staying at the Joshua Tree Inn. Gram probably doesn't have a mention in the credits because Mick was jealous of Gram and Keith's friendship.
"Wild Horses" is one of The Stones better Country and Western tinged songs. My favorite of that genre is "The Girl With The Far Away Eyes", from the album "Some Girls".
Dear Doctor off Beggers Banquet is pretty good country song too.
@@bluebird3281 Agreed.
Faraway Eyes is a total parody of country music. Songs like Torn And Frayed, and much later The Worst are great country rock songs. Faraway Eyes is satire and done as a joke
@@flyingburritobro68 Mick's delivery is so far out there, that is supercedes parody, and goes right into sublime. He is channeling Waylon Jennings and George Jones., and a little Hank Williams Sr.
The Stones are a great country band when they want to be. Dead Flowers comes to mind, and Sweet Virginia.
Yes, entirely different but such a beautiful song. Heard this in 71 still get chills listening to it. Definitely one of my favorite songs of theirs.
Lex: "This is different for them." Different is the keyword. Over the years, the Stones have played in many genres, styles, and feels. If you check their discography, you'll find a couple dozen songs that are ballads or ballad-like.
Right. Iâd say it more different for these guys, not the Stones.
"Wild horses couldn't drag me away" could be a response to "Will we see you at the cup final?".
Imagine Lex get tickets to a CCR concert. And imagine, if you can, that Brad feels it necessary to ask "Are you sure that you want to go?". Lex could then (look at Brad strangely and) simply say "Wild Horses!", meaning "Try to stop me".
I'm 60 years old and my first high school crash played this on his guitar and sang it to me when we where 14 years old ..simply timeless.They actually have some beautiful ballads amongst there very long standing history
I always thought the first line was âTired of Livingâ, now after 52 years I find out itâs âChildhood livingâ. I think I like my lyrics better.
I always thought that , too!
Me too. Lol and have seen them live, about 6or 7 times
@@rickcooper53 I always Dancing Queen was Kicking queen from abba
It's about the end of a relationship that, even though you know it has to end, is breaking your heart by its ending. Wild horses couldn't drag me away is an old expression meaning no force, however powerful, could make you leave.
This song was written at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, AL. The song was penned by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. It was also in the studio bathroom where it was penned to paper. Keith had started it off playing on a 12-string guitar and had a couple of verses and passed it on to Jagger to finish it while sitting on the floor in the restroom. It was written about Keith's newborn child and Jagger's wavering relationships. Now how do I know this? I have been to that studio several times as I lived only 40 miles away from it and know many local artists and studio musicians that played in that studio before it shut down. It is now a museum and anyone can take a tour and you wouldn't believe the artist and songs that have recorded there over the years. Cher even has an album cover with a picture of her standing in front of the studio. 3614 Jackson Hwy is the actual address and also the name of her album.
I always love Lexâs interpretations. They seem so personal.
Brad & Lex, youâll love their "Lets Spend The Night Together"
and "You Can't Always Get What You Want"(NOT live version you did without the choir) !!!
Another person that doesn't get how this works. They only react to the songs that people pay them to play.
They have already reacted to two of those.
Love their slow stuff best. "Angie" "Dead Flowers"
definitely Dead Flowers: I'll be in my basement room...waiting for the reaction
You may or may not like them, but listening to them indicates that you are still alive, that all is not lost.
Long live the ROLLING STONES!!!
I love how the Stones were never pigeonholed by any one style. They could do it all...and do it well. An amazing catalogue of music.
Check out the version by the Sunday's as well. I love this song
My favorite Stones cover...
Another person that doesn't get how this works. They only react to the songs that people pay them to play.
@@mavjagmaverick1527 that doesn't mean they wouldn't look it up. That's how it works
@@AClark-jx9zp wrong
WIld horses couldn't drag me away is an expression! LMFAO "wild horses couldn't drag me away from that chocolate" You are tOO funny
This song was and has been a favorite among fans from its first publish even though it's a slow song, not a stumper.
What's interesting is at some point this song became the song that they would let guest performers sing at their concerts, so there's a slew of concert samples where The Stones performed this song with a guest actually singing. A particularly memorable one is, as an example, David Mathews.
This is a beautiful song about the ending of a relationship with one who doesnât want to let go. The guitar work on this track is so good!
Astonishingly versatile group - so many musical influences: Blues, Country, Soul, Gospel, Rock, Jazz, Swing, Baroque, Folk. No wonder they're dubbed the Greatest RnR Band in the World.
Wild horses couldn't drag me away is just a way of saying my love for you is so strong that nothing can separate me from you.
I've been playing and singing this song from the beginning. Just a lovely tune. Love the Open G sound.
I always have at least one guitar in open G... usually a resonator and a Tele.
@@mikelundquist4596 ...I hope you bring out a slide every now and then on that open G resonator.
@@mojomusica.0169 oh yeah
Moonlight Mile and Sister Morphine, the best vibe the Stones ever put outâŠ
I'd love to see some reactions to Sister Morphine, but nobody ever seems to do it! I don't know if it always gets struck, or what.
@@zenhaelcero8481 A lot of reactors just listen the more commercial songs based on popularity or most views. There are so many great songs that only the true music fans know, the average fan just listens to the played out radio favorites. Lots of times the most popular songs are not the best.
The Stones have always been around, and I was alway aware of them via their hits like everybody else in the world. But honestly, it wasn't until about 15 years ago that I really started listening to them, devouring their back catalog, album by album. Almost every album from the debut at least through Exile on Main Street is fantastic, and everything from Beggar's Banquet to Exile is fucking genius- on those 4 albums alone, I'm comfortable calling the Stones the greatest rock band of all time.
On one of âthoseâ days, this beautiful song makes me cry. Thatâs the mark of a great one!
That's Keith Richards doing the harmony. Sounds damn good. I think the song is conceptual. IT's poetry. Yes! Lexie is right. Brad got the simplicity of the music. Simply Beautiful.
"Wild Horses" was about the usual thing of not wanting to be on the road, being a million miles from where you want to be." A direct quote from Mick Jagger
my understanding of the song is that Marianne was in hospital after her second overdose on heroin and Mick rushed to her side. He tried to convince her to give it up and she replied no I love it too much. He then said " I'll just drag you away from this life" , she looked him in the eyes and said " Wild horses couldn't drag me away." They broke up not long after that with one of the main reasons was her continual use of Heroin. This is why the song is so sad and soulful she chose the drug over him and he was powerless to save her.
Mick has said the 'thing' between him and Marianne was long over before this. I don't really understand why people think songs have to be about something that actually happened in the artist's life. Take Sympathy for the Devil. I don't think either Mick or Keith has ever been Satan, right?
Unrequited love has inspired many great works of art.
Lex is doing a good job on this one! Wild horses are free. Freedom is not his choice. He wants to be with her.
You should listen to The Sundays cover of Wild Horses and decide which is better. I'm biased towards The Sundays. They are a very underappreciated band. Brad likes the Cranberries, and the Cranberries were called the Irish Sundays.
All The Sundays songs are great, but the ones you can start on are Here's Where The Story Ends, Summertime, Love, and Wild Horses. Can't go wrong with any of their songs.
Another person that doesn't get how this works. They only react to the songs that people pay them to play.
@@mavjagmaverick1527 That's fine. That's the way of the world. It's their loss. Thanks for educating this ignorant fool.
@@mavjagmaverick1527 that's not true, these are pulled from their livestream where people nominate and vote in songs
The Sundays are a great band
LOVE Harriet Wheeler's voice!!
I used to listen to this song in bed to get to sleep when I was in university. Brings back good memories.
Thereâs a longstanding rumor that Gram Parsons actually wrote or co-wrote this song. He was hanging out and playing a lot with Keith Richards at the time, teaching him about country music. Itâs a Parsons-style song, his band The Flying Burrito Brothers released a version a full year before the Stones, and the Stones are pretty ruthless businessmen and not usually so generous. But who knows?
Did Gram write Angie, too? Not.
The best thing about any music is that you can give your own meaning to the lyrics-- there is no correct answer--just how it makes you feel.
Thanks for diving into The Stones, youâll be amazed.
So much respect such a little rocker girl I love it
You can hear the Graham Parsons influence. The song was written before he died. Graham wrote just like this.
when I was younger and went all hippy retro (in the late 80's as an older teen) -I never really wondered what any of these lyrics meant, I just dreamed into them, imagined all sorts of stories and it was the greatest fun :)
Sticky Fingers is such a great album.
Such a beautiful soulful love song.
Richard's really shines through!! đ„â€đđœ
Rolling Stones.... geniuses at instilling images in our minds. As Brad mentioned, they can reach everyone, with their own interpretation.
This is a song that takes me away, away from this worlds worries
Mick's best twang! I love to imitate it. You know ah can't let you slide through my hay-yaaands!
Close friend of Keith Richards, country / country rock artist Gram Parsons did a cover on this. I am non native in English, but I think the British often use the "die" in a way to express ultimate feelings be it joy or sorrow or disappointment. "When we die, lets do some living" makes sense in that way.
I think that sure is a valid interpretation. It could also be a reference to the relationship dying. This is poetry/song writing. Literal translations don't necessarily apply.
The greatest band ever to exist
My favorite Stones song EVER.
It amazes me how language has apparently changed.
Wild horses couldn't drag me away means nothing could make me leave.
Top 5 Stones Favorites for me!...First Rock Band I ever Loved!...Still My Top 2
Lex is a fab analyst, Brad you just listen to your fabulous lady and learn!
Youâre right Brad. This does let you savor every string pluck. Great recording.
Waiting on a friend, is a great stones tune .. lovelovelove â€ïžđžâđ»
Love this and Angie
Yes, Beautiful, poetic, ethereal song about regret. But maybe someday will ride them again.
Memory Motel is a personal favorite of mine. I'm suggesting it because literally no one else is going to.
Wild horses couldn't drag me way is a reference to all the pain that the relationship has caused but they still love each other and stay together even though they know it will only just continue to be always on their minds of how bad they treated themselves.
Brad, you are so lucky... .. She is a dream. Thanks for the channel Famm
Glad you picked the right version ....there are a few no so good ones out there. the Stones were very Special ! Peace & love
This song is so beautiful. I love The Sundays version. It sounds incredible with a female voice.
One of the rare times I prefer the cover
Lex says, âthis is different for them,â but it's entirely in their wheelhouse. You just haven't explored enough Stones, especially from their golden period of 1968-1972: country, blues, soul, gospel, and rock and roll. They're the epitome of Gram Parsonsâ coined term âcosmic American music.â That's ultimately what the Stones were about at their purest and best, despite flirting with just about every musical trend from psychedelia to reggae to funky disco.
Also, how can you listen to this without feeling anything or speaking of the vocals or musicianship? Seriously, not every songâs lyrics need to be analyzed like a James Joyce novel.
I always loved this song, reminds me of being young, in love and free
His girlfriend Marianne Faithful was A heroin addict this about trying to freeing her from addiction very powerful love song.
This was a huge song for The Rolling Stones. And you can hear why.
Even though their relationship has had rough spots: "Wild Horses Couldn't Drive (Him) Away." That's how in love he is with her. She's 'The One' for him, even though life (presumably on the road) is hard on romantic relationships. The strength of the image reflects the strength of his love.
Yes mam, live and let live!
I love the Stones. Brad and Lex l love seeing your reactions. But this song was the one that truly hooked me.
Only two original members of the Stones left although Ron Wood been with them for 45 years.â€Love Ron's solo hit Why you wanna do a thing like that forđ”
I think beautiful Lex is pretty much right on the mark.
The song is about not being able to let go, even after too much has gone wrong.
My all time fave Stones tune!!!!!
Have you really never heard the phrase, "Wild horses couldn't drag me away" He's going to stay right there and even the power of wild horses couldn't move him.
For the longest time, I only knew The Sundays cover of this song. Which I do love.
I just listened to your Tangerine reaction before this - they go well together, both a little country vibe being spread. You guys are really getting into the meat of songs these bands put out for decades!!
I always taken the song as at the beginning of the relationship nothing can tear you apart. In the middle of it we let life come in and and start saying what we will do in the future when we have time but we let to much interfere with the present. Sometimes we survive it and other times we don't. Now as and older person who has survived the middle but doesn't have the time to enjoy the things we put off. Enjoy the middle too.
Faith has been broken tears must be cried let's do some living after we die those lyrics always make me cry my favorite Stones song!
A young good looking Southerner named Gram Parsons hooked up with Emmylou Harris, Flying Burrito Brothers, The Byrds then as a solo act had an immeasurable impact on rock almost inventing Southern Rock. Jagger and particularly Richards were gobsmacked and he became an indispensable 5th Stone influencing and helped write virtually all the Southern/Honky Tonk Stones songs including Wild Horses and Honky Tonk Women to name a few. Brian Jones felt so marginalized he quit the Stones and eventually committed suicide. Gram eventually picked up the Stones profligate drug and booze life style and died in his twenties in the desert of Joshua Tree California.
I used to hate the Rollingstones (except for the one song TIME IS ON MY SIDE)! Beatles came into my life when they "arrived" in America as I turned 14 & I pretty much thought of everyone else as novices. Wasn't til early 70's that I realized Rollingstones deserved a listen. BLACK&BLUE became the very 1st album by them that I bought! STICKY FINGERS became my 2nd and DEAD FLOWERS, Charlie WATTS doing his magic, became my instant favorite on the album. One day I even bought their GREATEST HITS! This song reminds me of my college days & pleasant memories. I was mad at the Beatles for a long time so, lucky for the Rollingstones...
Magnificent song, of course.
Lex has a good sense for most rock songs. Great one here.
