There are more than only sweet love songs to the Beatles, especially John Lennon, of the comparatively early period. A more sinister side of oldfashioned male attitudes is to be found in the lyrics below the sweet surface made by the catchy melody.

Highly interesting, I think! It seems that I was not the only one, far from it, in fact, to take your supposed views on face value so to speak.

Taken from a post that I abstained from sending: A piece of "counter fact"-thinking. One point of view though, relating to the song «Waiting on a Friend», probably highly controversial: If I have got the time of the origine right, I would have liked it to have taken the place of «Winter» within GOAT'S HEAD SOUP, which I think would have made «Coming Down Again» and «Waiting

I leave it to them who create the music, to decide which songs are to be included in Stones releases, and which are not. What they hold as good enough and suited, is far better for me than other people's whims and prejudies. In this case I (and others with me) was privileged with an album of 16 songs. Maybe the last complete album of new Stones songs we are ever to have had. If there will

I prefer "ballad" to be understood as something more spesific, even if I am not able myself to give an adequate definition. "Slow song" is even more evasive as term. For all that, I would like to nominate one song that once was that important to me, and I still love it (I can't see it that it has been mentionned yet), "She Smiled Sweetly".
