The Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers

[bassplayeroceanside]

I'm about to smoke some dead flowers.

[MrReymoclif714]

Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail!

[lyonslaforet]

Such a gem from the Rolling Stones. I love the pedal steel guitar!

[mscadillacbluesband]

Great Tune!

[RojotheRed]

You know, The Glimmer Twins never seem to get their share of praise as songwriters. It seems that John Lennon, really jumpstarted their songwriting career with 'I wanna Be Your Man". They learned from that hit given to them. And never looked back. These 2 guys have written some of the world's best music. but rarely get credit as songwriters. They wrote about life, just as raw as it can be at times. The boys are getting pretty old now, I would love to see them vindicated as songwriters.

great song

[MrRazorblade999]

Can someone tell me which tracks Ry Cooder playing?

[oclero]

@MrRazorblade999 Only Sister Morphine on this album

[SciborgGear]

I love playing this song on the piano.

[cinedores]

i wish theyd play it straight instead of the joke cuntry voice - ruins the song

[kathrynj60]

@cinedores i think it fits the song

[brandonlace]

@cinedores Keith should have sang it imo, he has a wonderful country voice, mick even said so. Listen to his backing vocal.

[willong1000]

@brandonlace Check out Townes Van Zandt's version--I'm sure you'll appreciate it.

Every song I come to on Youtube someone is always saying "Best song ever!" "It's their best song!" "My favorite song of all time, ever!" OK, we know you like the song, but try a different approach. Maybe talk about the instrumentation, lyric, or how you connect to it. I'm just saying because the lack of variety is giving me a nose bleed and resulted in rickets in every nook and cranny of my body.

[shroopliss]

@probrojeffro Honestly, though, those comments are a lot better than bringing up Justin Bieber in every god damned song

Or some brain-dead copy and pasted material.

[probrojeffro]

@shroopliss So true.

[anonUK]

@shroopliss

You say "brain dead copy and paste material", I say "the people who put those comments on Youtube need to put themselves out of their Justin-Bieber obsessed misery."

[shroopliss]

@anonUK Even if it's not related to that girl

These bands are so much more than generic copy pasted material. I wish these people were as creative as the people who made their favorite music

[probrojeffro]

@shroopliss True, but I'd like more variety for my mental health. Just sayyin' ;O)

[ELDestinova]

@probrojeffro This is my favorite comment on Youtube.

In fact, it's the best comment ever!!

Although I can't hear the instrumentals-- I can connect to the lyrics because it is the Truth.

[jdleonard999]

[MrReymoclif714]

@Guedingen Close! I like the way they have different stages of musical style and substance! This is from the tumbling dice era!

[telecasterman081095]

Townes Van Zandt covered this? i knew that this was a Stones' original and I knew Townes did a song called dead flowers but i didnt know he covered the stones. I love both the stones and Townes Van Zandt. RIP townes. keep rockin Stones!

[zzzzzzboring]

cool townes van zandt cover, Not.

[pumpkinbrains101]

@zzzzzzboring This is a Rolling Stones song that was covered by Townes Van Zandt, not the other way around. Also, Sticky Fingers was one of Townes's favorite albums.

[bacardibum]

favorite song on my favorite stones album
