Esa es una gran cancion pertenece a mi album favorito y obra maestra stone, EXILE ON MAIN ST, y para ser mas romanticos pertenece al Legendario Lado 4 del,Exile.
Esta cancion tuvo su genesis en el tema "Get A Line On You",del cual me gusta la voz de Jagger.Mas abajo se describe la cancion ,aparece que talvez Mick se la dedico al ya fallecido Brian Jones.
Musicalmente Taylor se da un solo muy bueno para darle un aire celestial a la cancion muy propio del gospel.
SHINE A LIGHT
First recorded as "Get A Line On You" in March of 1968. Lyrics were rewritten by Mick Jagger in early 1970 after Brian Jones died, as both the old and new lyrics were supposedly about him. Re-recorded in July, 1970, then again in March, 1972 and released on Exile On Main Street in 1972. Mick Taylor is credited as playing bass in the album's sleeve for this song, but Bill Wyman claims it's a mistake and that he handles the bass.
Lead Vocals: Mick Jagger Electric Guitar: Mick Taylor Bass: Bill Wyman Drums: Jimmy Miller Piano & Organ: Billy Preston Background Vocals: Clydie King, Joe Green, Venetta Field & Jesse Kirkland
SHINE A LIGHT
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.
Oh, couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love.
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.
May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Make every song your favorite tune.
May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Warm like the evening sun.
When you're drunk in the alley, baby, 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.
Angels beating all their wings in time,
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.
Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you,
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now.
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.
Saludos!!!
