I actually like AHYS better than Beast of Burden

Wish Mick wouldn't have changed Keith's lyric though...Wino's outtake btw

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

It's a great one. I love when Mick throws some falsetto into a song. I had it on in my car once and my mom said, "Can't he sing `lips' instead of `tongue'?" I said, "That's rock n roll, Mom."

every time i hear it the background vocals get stuck in my head for days

Love this.

great keith one

Whenever I hear that song I remember the Urban Jungle shows I attended. It was kind of a magical moment when the song came up and the whole stadium was humming along the melody. Great great song. Totally underrated.

Love this song. One of my favorites. I remember seeing the video on Mtv ONCE.

One of their best ballads. Keith's acoustic work on this track is excellent!!

Turn up the treble and turn down the bass and listen to Watts' high hat pattern; make it so you can hear the wood tip of the stick on the cymbal; it is a separate rhythm all on its own; you might need an EQ to help you a little. Anyway, AHYS is one smoooooth recording.

From a very underrated album. Throw out 'Sad, Sad, Sad', and 'Can't Be Seen' and you've got a classic dozen cuts. A very nice bounceback from the Dirty Work mess.

one of the songs everybody seems to love and i just can't stand.
terrible production, jaggers singing and acting in the video drives me nuts. even his haircut alone leaves me speechless. haha....

Beautiful song, really quite haunting.

I've seen the video many times and one part of it sticks in my mind. Keith played a beautiful accoustic for part of it, a really stunning looking guitar.

underrated: almost hear you sigh

Agree, it is indeed. Great ballad.

yeah, I think these are the highlight of the song as well--they put it alongside "Waiting on a Friend," "Miss You," etc.

....you'll get no argument from me on that assessment....along with one of Keith's finest songs & vocal in his later day career- Slipping Away, two great ballads on that album....

This has always been one of my favorite Stones songs, YES, very under-rated. The entire album is under-rated, always over-looked. Yup, there are a few clunkers but over-all a great album. I even like Keith's " Can't Be Seen" !! " Continental Drift" is brilliant, very Arabic sounding, hypnotic! Think I'll play the album on my way in to work tomorrow!

One of their greatest ever ballads.

actually I think the album is very weak overall, especially in retrospect. But this is a great cut.

Really love this song.

What's your favourite flavour?...........Cherry Red!!

Very nice tune................... the album is very underrated, maybe because of the poor 80s production in songs like Blinded by love and RAAHP...............
I enjoyed a lot the whole album after the 86-89 break

Great song! But everyone I know love it. Is it really underrated? The 1990 live versions were superb, too.

Agree, it is a very good song, but I would love if it could be redone the way Slipping Away was done on Stripped. Actually I would love if the whole album received the same treatment.

Possibly their last really great single?

...'silky smooth', indeed.
Always sens goosebumps down my spine! (or something like that. )

["I can hear the Bullfrog calling me..."]

beautiful song, one of my top 5 Stones songs.
very emotional.
Bye Jeroen.

feel your tongue in mine, silky smooth like wine.....????
gimme a break! and that awfull delay in micks voice.
but i think its mainly micks hair and his moves that destroyed that song for me.
and the production, piano, etc...

Superb song. It gives that stadium feeling. Wish I could live that experience.

I think it's a great song too. Wish it was played more live.

I like Keith's version as heard on the Steel Wheels out takes. Listen to that quite a bit actually...........
