CYHTM is a strange song for me. I find the riff a bit grating (what is that instrument anyway?) and the chorus is kind of irritating. But I love the bridge, both musically and lyrically, so this song is kind of fighting with itself in a way. Or at least that's my experience of it. Used to be my least favorite song on the album.

I seem to be one of the few that can't stand Winter.
Coming Down Again is about the only track I feel any connection to from this album.

Agreed. If find this song a mixture of great and strange elements. The odd sounds make it stranger, yet it would probably sound boring with more regular sounding guitars and keyboards. It's a bit like many tracks on Between the Buttons -- decent songs with crazy production.

GHS IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS!!!! Its sound is unique, and the mellancolic atmosphere unique, and the Ccuck Brerrian last tune is unique, and coming down again is unique, and angie is unique, and winter is unique , and silver train, and 100 years ago, and dancing with mr D, and the production, ang MJ's voice, and MT's guitar, and the whole group.................and IORR is another big big album

You summed my thoughts about the track. I also love the bridge; it funnily makes the song to fly to other universe, and I rather spend more time in tha soundscape than we get. The rest is rather odd-sounding stuff that just.. what... stands there, circles around, and goes nowhere. I have alwys felt like this song is metaphorically a left-over from SATANIC MAJESTIES.

It's a wha-wha through a Leslie. Great sound. Interesting idea.
Lots of things sound good through a Leslie.
I told a friend of mine to run his pedal steel through one (been done before)
and it sounded fantastic.

I love Leslies. The guitar on "Let It Loose" is fantastic. The Beatles of course used Leslies like crazy, even running vocals through them. Haven't tried a pedal steel through one yet though. Interesting idea!

...although i don't think it's difficult to acknowledge a number of the songs aren't as meticulously crafted as those found on the Stones previous few albums....

Dancing with Mr D.
Voodoo and all that was very popular in 1973.
James Bond - Live and Let Die was a big film.
I hear Dancing with Mr D and I see scenes from LALD.

GHS was the first Stones album that I had the pleasure of anticipating the release of and getting when it first came out. I discovered (or rather immersed myself in, as I was already aware of them) the Stones through Hot Rocks, and then worked my way backwards through the various records and phases. But GHS was the first one where I got to experience that delicious anticipation of a new Stones record, so it will always have a dear place in my heart. Plus, I just think the melancholy mood of the album is unique - it's an emotional place they had not gone to before. the sense of weariness, fatigue, wistfulness and longing is not what we expected from the band. It still has that effect on me today, where most of the ones that came after don't leave me with any particular feeling (excepting Some Girls and Tattoo You).

Well it looks like MJ had the same problem with missing teeth as Keith did back in this GHS era. Check out this interview on The Old Grey Whistle Test.
At exactly 6:37 one of Micks bridges comes loose and he about loses a tooth on camera. Quick recovery but I guess Keith wasn't the only one losing teeth back then. lol peace
