Everything Is Turning to Gold - the rolling stones -Sucking in the Seventies

Everything Is Turning to Gold


Don't care if your love go cold
Found love in someone else's home
Don't like the standing in the snow

Everything is turning to gold

Well

You used to know me long ago
Was so lost and way down low
Now that the love juice start to flow

Everything is turning
Turning, turning

Yeah baby

Listen, I'm tired, I'm tired of doing what I'm told
Things are moving way too slow
And I've got no problem, got no problem, child
It ain't my business, ain't my business, ain't my style

Now that the love juice starts to flow
I'll tell you

Yeah, yeah down low
Come on, baby, come on, let's go

TrackTalk

I came up with the chorus when my son Jesse was born. It was inspired by him. I basically wrote the whole thing. Mick wrote the verses - there's few verses actually, and the whole song relies on the choruses.
- Ron Wood, 2005




Sucking in the Seventies is the fourth official compilation album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1981. As the successor to 1975's Made in the Shade, it covers material from 1974's It's Only Rock'n Roll to 1980's Emotional Rescue.

Many of the album tracks were remixed or re-edited for this release, and some rarer material was also included. "Everything Is Turning To Gold" was previously released as "Shattered"'s B-Side in late 1978 in the U.S. only; "If I Was A Dancer (Dance Pt. 2)" is a longer and different mix and containing different lyrics than "Dance (Pt. 1)", the opening track on Emotional Rescue, which, despite this compilation's title, was relased in 1980; and "When The Whip Comes Down" is presented in an otherwise unreleased live version, recorded in Detroit on the 1978 tour.

Interestingly, it doesn't include "Miss You", the major hit from the period it covers.

Released in the spring of 1981, as Tattoo You was nearing its completion, Sucking in the Seventies reached #15 in the U.S., going gold, but failed to chart in the UK.

i like the 1:27 part when it goes into overdrive.

hidden gem. Better than much material that made it to albums. I´d put this in Emotional Rescue and that disc would get better :)

@JeffV71  I think the Stones were throwing Ronnie a bone on the recording of this and it's release as a B side on a single . After all he had recently joined the band and perhaps they did not want to snub his writing credits or his creativity as they did to Mick Taylor .

[JeffV71]

I must be the minority here, not a great song and glad it didn't make it on an album.

@fatalsteps101 No, you are confused, Status Quo is the greatest two chord band in the world..................

[lyonslaforet]

@shadowestreetshuffle Actually it was recorded during the Some Girls sessions but was shelved because there wasn't enough space (!) on the record.

[fatalsteps101]

The greatest 2 chord band in the world...period.

[UKRod]

Didn't this start off as a song called Middle Sea? See my channel intro for that song. It's an out-take from the Voodo Stew sessions. I actually prefer Middle Sea.

I DONT UNDESTAND WHY THAT VERY COOL TUNE ARE NOT IN THE "EMOTIONAL RESCUE" ALBUM.....
