new Stones "you know i'm no good" is written (words and music) by amy winehouse !!!
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars *, but in ourselves..." -- William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act 1 Scene 2 1) regarding "i'm no good", it presents an interesting problem. The lyrics are 100% from a woman's perspective, so it provides no easy way to gender-switch without a major re-write. So what does Mick do? -- major re-write? (completely disrespectful to the composer) -- sing it as is, with or without falsetto? (disrespectful AND weird) -- write a new verse or two, share the lead vocal with Chanel, turn the song into an Otis-and-Carla thing? 2) The new track "jealous lover" is currently rumored to be both a Soul song and the next single (for all you scholars out there, the lyrics also contain an obvious reference to Plato's "Republic", Book VII) You said you'd let me live my life No fetters and no chains I believed your every word Now your tune has changed
One day after coffee You fixed me with a stare And said, where were you on Friday night? Tell me who was there?
Well, the only probem is The only problem is You're such a part of me
Hands off, jealous lover Please let me be You pray like a mantis You're emerald green Hands off, jealous lover The joke's right on me You're clinging like ivy Like you're choking a tree
We were once so generous Sharing secrets of the heart Now the trust is turning sour Got a bad taste in my mouth
You can't control the ocean You can't control the waves You can't control the shadows Flickering in my cave
Hands off, jealous lover Please let me be Your eyes full of envy And you're emerald green Hands off, jealous lover Your words harsh and mean You pray like a mantis You're feeding off me
Let it go, let it go now Come on, hands off You got to let me go, baby
Hands off, jealous lover Please let me be Your eyes are so cutting Your my own guillotine
* ALSO, regarding the wait for the Odessa A'Zion+AI "in the stars" video (featuring a de-aged Mick Jagger):
Q: Hey AI, for major music stars these days, for major single releases, please estimate the average time between the release of the audio/lyric video and the full production video? (also, Hey AI, congrats on your work for the "in the stars" video)
AI: (Thanks for the compliment) For major pop stars today, the average gap is typically very short — happening on the same day or within 1–3 days. Lyric videos frequently serve as an immediate visual companion to the audio drop, while full production (narrative/conceptual) music videos come shortly after or simultaneously for maximum impact. For example, The Rolling Stones dropped the audio for "Angry" only a few hours before releasing the Sydney Sweeney video.
