Shine A Light

Saw you stretched out in room ten o nine With a smile on your face and the tears right in your eye Could not seem to get a line on you, my sweet honey love And Berber jewelry jangling down the street Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love, yeah May the good Lord shine a light on you Make every song you sing your favorite tune May the good Lord shine a light on you Warm like the evening sun And you're drunk in the alley with your clothes all torn And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn Just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off And the angels beating all their wings in time With a smile on their face and a gleam right in their eyes Could not seem to get a high on you Come on up now, come on up now, come on up May the good Lord shine a light on you Make every song you sing your favorite tune May the good Lord shine a light on you Warm like the evening sun, yeah yeah Come on up now, come on up now, , come on up now, come on up May the good Lord shine a light on you Make every song you sing your favorite tune May the good Lord shine a light on you Warm like the evening sun, yeah May the good Lord shine a light on you Make every song you sing your favorite tune May the good Lord shine a light on you Warm like the evening sun, oh yeah baby Oh yeah, come on

Marie BlueMick Jagger initially penned “Get a Line On You” for guitarist Brian Jones in 1968. The lyrics were about Jone’s drug addiction which was slowly detaching him from the rest of the band. After Jone’s passing, Jagger rewrote part of the text, and it was released in 1972 as “Shine a Light.” Billy Preston played piano and organ on the track. He was a frequent guest musician for both the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. In 2010, Mick Jagger chose “Shine a Light” as his favorite “Exile” song (1972). He explained : “It was quite an early one from Olympic Studios London, with Billy Preston. Once it was finished, we never played it on stage for years and years. Then it became this favorite after we recorded it for the “Stripped” album [1995]. So “Shine a Light” was this funny thing that started off as something you did once at that time and never went back to.” A song for Brian - founder of the Stones - was not only anticipated, it was an absolute must❕ May you rest in peace, Brian Lewis Hopkin Jones (1942 - 1969)… ????

Chris CatalanoWhat an album. A gigantic, messy, beautiful rock & roll masterpiece. This is one of its signature tracks. Cool how they brought in so many Gospel elements and still made it sound so dirty and drunk lol. Amazing mojo all over Exile.
