They gave my little sister Morphine to ease her passing at the age of 16! She had a rare form of leukemia that she fought for 5 yrs before succumbing to it! It tore my mother's heart!
...I almost threw everything away after ten years of sweet cousin and ten more with sister...but I survived...I'm growing again...and the son the state took for a bit is in the next room getting ready for his 11th birthday...all ours... grateful...and in alot less pain...wiser...slower...a father... peace!
It's hard to believe that Micky JAGGER will be 80 this year. Go Mick, and the Rolling Stones, and THANK YOU for contributing such wonderful music for the World.
Many people don't realize how devoted Mick Jagger was to keep in shape. Something his father impressed and required him and his brother to do in their youth. His father was a renowned Physical Education professor, and an expert on basketball, which he wrote a book about. His father also had his own TV show on physical fitness when Mick was a kid. His drug use was both overplayed, and maybe even purposeful to make him appear cool. He never did heroin or morphine. He likes marijuana.
@@NewarkBay357 Interesting Philip ! I don’t know bout Mick & Sister Morphine! They probably all done a lot of Coke & Keith was allegedly using H & Marijuana would have still give them a Jump before/ during a gig.. They have access to all the quality drugs that haven’t been cut for street people.
I think Sir Mick's drug has always been sex. He's obviously taken good care of himself with an exercise regimen all these years. It's hard to believe Keith is still with us. God bless them and let's hope we'll all be around for a few years yet. I did the heroin thing myself for years and am now using
My older brother (68) passed away five months ago. He had morphine every 6 hours to calm his pain (cancer). I remember his last shot at 10pm, closed his eyes with a sweet smile and in the morning I found him dead.
I'm with you....! My ten years older brother, I loved him so much, died because of Aids. He was addicted to heroin over 20 years. He was so intelligent and special in art and music. And all the time he was part of our family! I know it is a different life, another story...! But we helped him to pass over and I am sure he could go into the light, calm and with this smile. we love him so much! Like you love your brother.... 💔🌹
Apron returning from Vietnam, wounded, had IV morphine every two hours, remember head going to ceiling then nurse yelling at me to breathe, that was 1969 , I recovered and retired in 2005 . US Marine Corp 1966-2005.
When i now hear this song it takes me back to the period i was addicted to heroin, cocain and methadon. And i can really feel what i felt then. Several times brought to the hospital. I am clean now. But still can feel it , like its now
It has been over 5 years now , when I've kicked a 40 year old Heroin-addiction !! Almost 60 and still alive and kicking !! (Allways 'd thought that it would be IMPOSSIBLE , but I'm still around !!)
My mom was a Registered Nurse & worked alongside many young Interns (first year being doctor) one of which was Andrei Barnard - son of Heart Transplant Surgeon Christian Barnard... Andrei became a Morphine addict due to injuries caused by a car accident... He was not allowed access to the Hospital's Medicine cabinet- my mom was so fond of him & always helped where she cld - he eventually died from an overdose... Will never forget how she cried at his death - also fotos of his father crying heart breakingly at the funeral... Drugs are dangerous... Elixir for worlds probs for a while but never the solution...
BEAUTIFUL STORY ... I GOT MOVED ... IT'S TRUE DRUGS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION ... ONLY CONTINUING SUFFERING .... GREETINGS FROM ITALY 🇮🇹 ... TO WRITE I AM USING THE TRANSLATOR ✋
So upset Charlie Watts passed away yesterday. He was 80, cannot really believe any of the stones have or will make it to 80 years. RIP Charlie! You were one of the best drummers ever. Great pic of Charlie.
I mean the guy was 80 what do you expect what is so shocking that he passed away is it a shame maybe for some but he was 80 years old man it's not a shock to me
Probably my favorite Stones album "Sticky Fingers"....so many great cuts Mick Taylor at his best IMO I feel he started to get over the whole RS thing ORR was the end of my fave stuff
@@chrisholder4978 that is so self righteous, music is very subjective and we all have differences at some point. Being straight and sober doesn’t necessarily make great music. Are you going to have musicians take UA tests before stepping into the recording studio?
I can only imagine the incredible grief that the Stones, his family are experiencing at this very difficult time. My condolences to them. I know that the entire world is grieving with them. What a tremendous loss. I am shocked and deeply saddened. Rest in peace Charlie. You will never be forgotten.
I loved this song, back in the day when I was "getting a nod on". I took some bad roads, but I survived, some how. I am 75 years old now, and methadone is the only way I can make it from one day to the next. Chasing Miss Morphia cost me a lot, but I still think about the perfection of the feeling every day. Don't mess around young ones. Sooner or later, your dues must be paid..in full.
StellarBlue1 so true mate and so sorry for you then again I am still trying to get clean after almost 25 years only thing that helps to get me through the day is my dose of metodone and some people talk about making Herion legal what fools the are for wanting that
StellarBlue1 ive not took heroin or valium or methadone for over 4 years now. Its a daily struggle. Long for them hazy moments. But fucked my life up. Dont ever take heroin or all. You miss out on life.
So, I came here to listen to this wonderful version of one of my fav RS songs. Instead, I found myself spending the better part of close to two hours reading the comments. In that time, and in all the words i read, and with the atmosphere and mood of the song, it's so eerie and sad that we live in a world that lacks compassion for our sisters and brothers who struggle daily with pain, addiction, and all the things that come with that package, whether it be homelessness, loneliness, the senseless loss of a husband or child or being excommunicated by friends and family and a healthcare system that regards little for the patient, while money is the real core of it's function. Some comments had me wandering back to the late 60's and early 70's when my close friends were being drafted into a war they didn't understand, or my high school friends that never made it back home. (I spent a moment to reflect on them in particular, so I'm grateful for the reminder). And, of course, those who served and gave so much of themselves, yet how are we serving them in return today? Respect for the kind and caring replies from people from all corners of the world who showed understanding and sent positive thoughts and kind words to those who really needed to hear them, or said "brother, you're not alone" and even a stranger who said "look me up, maybe I can help you". For sure, there is a kind of magic in a song that not only transports us back to another time....music truly is a universal language that can bring out the very best in us if we listen not only with ears, but with our hearts.
Thanks for these wise words... A german song writer named Constantin Wecker said once in a concert "Let us love the addicts otherwise we gonna kill them..." He self struggeld hard on a cocaine addiction but made it .. Myself Im just in a cold withdrawal of Oxycodon..and maybe some understand..Addiction is a sickness a no way out of it is easy...Wishing strenght to anyone out there who suffers in any way.. and excuse my bad english and maybe strange translation. Warm regards from the black forest Germany
BOY THIS BRINGS BACK SOME PAINFUL MEMORIES MANY A YEAR SPENT NODDING AWAY AND THIS SONG WAS LIKE MY ANTHEM.THANI GOD TODAY I"VE BEEN CLEAN 32 YEARS AND A FEW ONE DAY AT A TIME
Congrats on your time. I've been clean and sober about the same. It hasn't always been easy but worth it. I'm now battling cirrhosis of the liver with the hep c I got from sharing needles. I'm 66 and am not doing well with my health. Anyway, congrats again and hugs
❤ Sweetheart I truly hope & Pray that you are still with us! I was strung out on heroin for well over 25 years. I'm clean and SO VERY GRATEFUL that I don't have to start my days "dope sick" anymore! and I sincerely don't want that kind of life anymore!! I honestly don't think that could be considered "a life" actually ❤❤😢😢 🙏🙏✌️✌️😇😇🥰🥰
We sometimes injected morphine (not heroin) in addition to amphetamine. The 70's. But when my wife was in the hospital for cancer, this song had a completely different meaning that fits closer to the lyrics. (my wife is clean from cancer now)
@@timhitt9541 - Took it as word play, not the answer and mostly a crutch. Besides, remember reading this was a song about smack so if not accurate at least a forgivable cultural misrepresentation.
Once, while hospitalized, I was given morphine to ease the pain. In the next few minutes, I knew exactly how someone can easily get addicted to it! It was scary, knowing that this drug could make someone feel that way!!
Yip. Had accident 30 years ago. Was two years before I could walk again without crutches among other problems but I was on a morphine pump for two months and then suddenly it was gone….. here I am all these years later after going to jail three times and overdose several times have lost all the people that mattered as the only thing that mattered was the next fix…. Even with treatment the addiction never leaves me…. It’s about the only thing I still have…. Life down the drain.. hospitals need to help patients with addiction before they sling us out the door. It’s no joke and as much as those that have never been addicted think it’s not about choosing the drugs…. It’s feeling like there’s no way to live without it…. Hate you opiates…
This is an awesome song, but it has a much much deeper meaning for those of us that have lived it, that's for certain!! I suppose there were times in the beginning where it really gave us a good feeling, but I can listen to this and feel 40+ years of pain in 6 minutes; all the shattered dreams, deaths of close friends and family members, and burnt relationships!! I'm able to make it with Methadone myself for the last twenty years, but even that has been far from a smooth sail because storms and tumultuous waves have still intermittently pounded the ship!! I am blessed to have the greatest understanding daughter!! Shout out to all those that are still struggling...
HAT(Heroin as a Treatment) over MAT(Methadone or Bupe). In England they use H in hospitals and they use H in clinics throughout Switzerland and Europe. Primary care physicians in Canada can now prescribe H. In th US they'd rather fill ur body up with opiates while at the same time perpetuating the destruction of endorphins. Just research it, HAT shows substantially more efficacy than MAT.
When i made my Morphine Shot in the 70s, always this Song was on my turntable...After 8 years shooting and 2 years in prison and 2 years in india, 1980 JESUS CHRIST came an set me free immediately without cold turkey from this Habit. Gloria to Him! Now free for 40 years,
I'm just discovering this AWSOME song, although I can say I've been a big fan of them since I was 15..!! please people don't laugh at me.. I just never bought "sticky fingers", as well as some others.. Once again, life surprises me in my 50's now, by making me discover a fantastic song of the Stones! AWSOME song once again!!! to some funny dumbass I've read sometimes here, claiming that Jagger is a bad singer.. oh, oh, oh !!! he is one of the greatest singers in pop and rock music..
And absolutely killer they're playing it live same time record came out. These guys know how to play, straight up. Still love them, but what a great run they had with Beggars, Let it Bleed, Sticky, Exile, and the ultimate live record Ya Ya's. Include Aftermath, Goats Head, Only Rock &Roll, C'mon!
@ mickeymac " one hit wonders are " irrelevant " then they disappear if your music has " substance" which singers are " relevant " to you ( cat got your tongue ) lol
I remember "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadows ¿" and the 1st time I heard it, it was the one and only thing that invasion was going on, I was 12 at the time, WOW that was inspiring me to great er heights, RAMBLIN, jűs sāyīn !😎✌😎!
Mickymac. Not relevant to who?!😂 It's not difficult to argue that the whole 'Rock& Roll' genre has been irrelevant since the 60's & 70's !! Its now all just entertainment & the Stones are great !!
Love this song, every time I listen to it I think of two friends that OD'd and they were heavily into the Stones back in the day. My band will play this live, it's very emotional to me and one of my favourite Stones songs.
@Ronnie Wood Since the early 70's, I was young. I saw the Stones in 1982 or 81 at the Richfield Coliseum. Tattoo You, still have the ticket. I have bought Lips, but no art. I am an artist myself.
Wow,this song rocks your soul. I enjoy the Stones,they had a lot of wise things to sing about. I am 65 yrs old,still alive in the covid era,and I intend to live until aging takes me.
COVID is good for nothing alone the Pharma Industrie is the Winner and Bill Gates Influenza light never pandemic beheind this is a human suicide to bring the hole world down to 2,5 Billion peoples
@@smwrbd It's not on Metamorphis, but on Sticky Fingers. First released by Marianne Faithfull tho (in 1969, two years earlier than by the Stones). Also, she is the co-writer of this. Great much later live version here: ua-cam.com/video/Q712oEHjlVA/v-deo.html
I wonder how many cancer patients feel the way I do about this song. I HATE MORPHINE. I refuse to take it now, I refuse to be hospitalized. I refuse to leave me dog. Instead I listen to the music. Some call it transcendental meditation, some call it God, some call it crazy. All the same to me. Whatever gets ya though the night, is alright, it's alright.
@@dannee3731 Depends on the dose they give you & why & how they are giving it . Lost my mom in 2002 after a 14 year struggle with lung cancer. In the final days they gave it it her as to ease her breathing & make her end of days more comfortable. It was never given to make her high but to simply ease the pain of dying. Much of this song is about a guy that according to Marianne Faithful who wrote the words to this was in a car crash & dying in the hospital while pleading for Morphine to ease his pain even though he & the staff know he won't survive. The words are pretty clear on why he is there & it's not cause he's an addict as they don't bleed to death as the final line says You can sit around and watch the clean white sheets stain red. Also in England nurses are referred to Sisters hence the name of the song. Morphine when used as it was with my & your mom helped them ease their struggle , but when used as Junk it's a terrible addiction that usually ends in death less your very lucky & can with help kick it. Like all narcotics they make you feel like your on top of the world but it's a false feeling as once you come down it's all comes back & you want more. I do speak from some experience as i have tried both Heroin & Morphine in the early 70's . Never again will i be so stupid but that was so long ago & i as a musician got roped into trying it as it was around & real. I did them both several times & it was enough to realize it would be like it it still is ,a dead end. Sorry to hear you lost your mom as i have done the same & we both know as do others that have been through this it's a bad thing with a worse outcome. On your real question it makes everyone feel good but it also is different with different people. If your hurt they give it to relieve these symptoms & they know death is around the corner but all cases are not the same. but those who take it as a get high drug are only trying to find an escape & that they do till it kills them or they get lucky enough to kick it. Fooling around with these drugs can only lead to misery & lost time. Wrote this song way before i lost my mom but for all the time i did lose during my Jr. & High School years playing with drugs. ua-cam.com/video/RHj04fFTrZI/v-deo.html
There are numerous countries in africa that arent allowed opioids because of americas stupid racist war on drugs ,two faced hypocrisy,.....which means people die in screaming agony from cancer and other horrendous painful conditions.....the american government are nothing short than utter scum....
By hearing this wonferful Rolling stones song !!! I Pay tribute to my cousin Thierry who were a Morphino Man and who died in 2019 at the age of 72 years old !!! This song is for you Thierry!!! Rest in Peace my Cousin i love you !!! Denis
I like it but I wish Charlie Watts would have come in druming in the middle of the song like he did in the official version. That was sooo effective for a drug song dont you think?
The curse of the world is drug addiction. I have loved the playing of the Stones all of my 76 years but no song touches me deeper than this one. I conside myself fortunate to have avoided opioid addiction but any addiction leads you down a dark road.
@@chrisholder4978 Clapton presented the Stones with their one and only Grammy and it was a Lifetime Achievement Award at that. They were all laughing their asses off at it . Charlie was really having a good laugh . Grammys are a joke , remember Millie Vanilla ?
‘Sister Morphine’. 'Sister Morphine' The lyrics were penned by Marianne Faithful as she imagined a car crash victim in hospital crying out for morphine. Despite her later addiction, the singer said she was clean at the time of writing the track. Jagger already had the melody.
I too,am here in Chicago hooked on methadone. I'm 58 years old and been taking it for 15 years. Now I have a fiance, and a job waiting for me in Spain. I can't leave because I'm a slave to this methadone clinic I attend. I'm down to 40 mg from 100mg.and boy is it gotten painful now!!! Good luck to everyone on this thread of replys.
Man we have methadone in Europe, I bet the rules are even more easy to live with. I get mine by going once a week to the farmacy and get my medication for one week. I don't need to see a doctor, only when I think it is necessary I can go. I worked all my live as a secretary, went on abroad holidays with my husband and always took my medication with me. Got a kind of medication passport from the pharmacy where I go and so I could take my methadone with me in the airplane, over the borders and into Austria ( I am from The Netherlands) I know in Spain it is the same, rules are not so tight as in the US, one can get a maintenance dose or a tapering dose, you make the choise. I must say, I always got 30 mg and reduced it to 10 now, which was not so difficult for me, but everyone can decide his own rate. So it is a shame you did not get your new job and tried it over here. I hope you do get another change and take it, for I really really think you would be better of here. Anyway, whatever choice you make, have a great life.
Hi there ! My name is John and I live in the Netherlands . I started using when I was only 14 years old and stayed on that stuff until about 10 years ago ! My "works" went into the bin and now I'm almost 63 , but Methadone gave me the opportunity to find a job and pick up my "Social Life" ! Thank God on my knees that Methadone is almost fully integrated ! It saved my life ! Go , and walk your road , bro !! And keep away from the "dragon" !
When you were living in Europe , and yoy are on Methadone , you can get a "Schengen-letter" , so you can pas the authorities without a problem ! (I've been on holydays in Spain several times , WITH Methadone ! Is there nothing in YOUR country like a letter from the institution where yoy get you meds from ?
Hello Bro . Another thing : Over here in Holland it is possible to get Methadone . And when you're in a program , it is also possible to go to , for example , Spain , on holyday or for work and the " Schengen-agreement" made it possible overhere in Europe to get your Methadone also in other European countries , like Spain ! It's even possible to take your Meds across the border when you are in a program ! Maybe something like this is also available for citizens of America , I don't know , but , it's worth trying ! Me , I wonna spend my "last years" in Spain , together with my beloved (clean !) "Ol'Lady" ! Looking forward to this ! But , first we have to deal with "Covid-19" !! Keep on fighting the Dragon , bro ! Succes !!
@@johnreijnders6830 Methadone has saved many souls, inclulding my sons. He has been on it for about 10 years and I hope he stays on it for ever if thats what he needs
I was clean for 15 years. I thought I was alright. 3 months ago I relapsed, and then again tonight. Its been a battle off and on with some kind of drug since I was 12. My heart got broken too easily and thats what pushed me over the line.,,I am 65 now and you would think I would be ok. I guess I will keep fighting the good fight. I hope you keep up the good fight too. Love and light to you
Did you see that Ronnie wrote you a comment? The next time you feel down and want to use just listen to a classic rock marathon with lots of Stones mixed in. Your lucky enough to love this music so love it living.
@Ronnie Wood Class Act Ronnie...you and Kieth were quite the duo in NYC in the 80's. Earl the Rootsman was one of my productions with Mike Cacia the reggae pioneer who brought many acts to the USA + Europe!
I smoke marihuana every day that kept me away from a lot off other shit , I did cocaine never a problem I did crack scared the shit out off me ,the feeling and how short it was never did it again , I did methadon never did it again or had cravings for it , I got ADHD witch makes me easy addicted and a shitty childhood , alcoholism is big problem in my family that’s why I don’t,t drink . I,m not saying you should smoke weed now but it might help and it’s legal in lots of places now . I got a wife 2 lovely daughters a great job 2 dogs 3 cats 2 houses and always a big stash of marihuana in my house to keep me calm and chill , my life became pretty great and I truly thank marihuana for it , it’s so much better then Ritalin , concerta and other medical solutions. It’s proven in study,s that marihuana makes you less addicted to cocaine and other upper drugs .
I love this raw verse of this song I been with the Stones from the beginning to the future I’m 72 yrs and Mick is 80 God has bless him we were once crazy kids but when old age come it shame we have to depend on it for pain I get so tired by children we still you moma ❤
But my children grown say moma we still need but when one is old in pain and have to take an opium to live it not these day the doctors where I’m living now in the south doesn’t treat the disease I feel it where I live to get the best and I miss the Bay Area my husband send me here to my professor daughter on vacation not letting me know his cancer had return 2017 it strange I was the one with the Bone disease with a time limit life is really strange but we had 30 years of life so that was good love The Rolling Stones I like Keith guitar playing best next to Jimi Hendrix my late husband was a lefty guitar player 70’s &80’s best yrs for music
OMG I own (I imagine) the exact same print by Ronnie Wood of Keith as you do. Mine is called, if I recall, Blue Smoke Keith?? (something Blue) I got it for my 40th birthday (my cash paid for it, mind you, hehe), and, in my opinion, it's the best work Ronnie has ever done. It's fabulous. I'm a huge Keith fan, so this painting has, actually, become my most favorite, prized possession. I love it.
This iconic song still gives me goosebumbs after about 30 years and the fact I used to be a heroin, morphine, and cocaine gives it a true to life edge... I'm still blown away by its simple yet earth shattering statement ..
I am sober since little more then 2 years after 50 years of doing hard stuf. At 13 I was playing wits needles and 30 years larer I discover crack...At 59 I decide rhat it was enought and that I wanted to live. It happend that after a month the craving miraculous stop thanks God,. Now I'am getting to Know myself and to enjoy life. I'am proud I did it and my son is more than happy about it. I wish to every junkie suffering to awake and get free. Sister morphine is still my best song and it make my heart squeezed every time I listen to it
@Ronnie Wood hey man I write alot of eclectic ramblings and it's so gratifying in so many ways just like your message. It's a freeballin' world Daddy-O and I'm still looking to make my mark and exceed my goal of top 5 legacy personified. But you can't chase it cause you'll never catch it just like a fine woman. You gotta let her come to you and that's a hard trick to master. Ain't life grand sir !?! Good journey old buddy ,...........,.
@Ronnie Wood long time fan. No autograph. I use to sign lots of autographs for fans when I was a crew member in Nascar racing. I totally understand the marketing aspect. Chasing that almighty dollar. How about a badass Bentley or Rolls Royce with handwritten lyrics all over by you and the lads and your wore out jeans used to cover the interior seats mate. Now there's a real souvineir fit for a king or prince or wiseman rife with the splendored grandeur and trappings of the wildest imagination to possess exotic women and chambermaidens laden with lust for restless souls of conquered lands and treasure Royale. Keep your sail trimmed and your back to the wind.
I turned 50 last year and remember this song being the soundtrack of my youth & addiction. I would've listen to it before I even would master English (give or take) so I barely have been able to understand lyrics hence I would hear what I'd wish to. Heroin/opiates' charm is long gone while the song 'abides' and grows even more haunting and exhilarating with time.
I have been clean for 25 years and today a friend of mine called me to say he had some China White .... I drove 30 miles to taste his wares and after indulging I remembered the warmth and security of sanctuary that only comes from a needle and a spoon - I will appreciate today and return to my sober life in the morning
The best band on this planet A great and very underrated song This version is just perfect Just think about it: About 30 years after the song was written And still 20 years ago
jean ann Kerr Buffalo, NY agrees. Stones played here 6 times. 1969, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1981, 2015. Yes that Buffalo called ( SNOW CAPITAL OF USA ). Its True Lake Erie dumps 10-12 feet every winter. We got that name because 1977 Blizzard we got 19 feet of snow. Still had snow on ground in June. City & Schools closed for 3 weeks. ALWAYS WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO. Hope I didnt scare you with all that snow talk. People were really afraid of us. We were lucky Niagara Falls is close for Visitors.
Mick has finally made it big. News of his recovery from his heart ailment is great, though the doctor wood only say that the prognosis is good. Glad the old boy is gonna hang around for a while. Welcome back m'man!
I have had morphine once in my life. I was in the Emergency Room with chest pain and shortness of breath. I had via IV push. Small dose, about 2 milligrams. I'm not gonna lie...The pain stopped, and I felt very mellow. I'm also an LPN, and I have administered morphine to many patients over the years. I would NEVER take a patient's medication..
This your first time hearing the Stones "version" of this? Wow. Where ya been all these years. And while Marianne does an admirable take on it, it remains the Stones version that is really iconic.
It’s not what you do. It’s June you do it. In its pharmaceutical form it can. Be quite a Benefit to those who suffer from chronic pain. I am one of those people. Will never mess with the other stuff. Glad you quit. I quit drinking which was a blood curse from my Irish side. Put to rest. Almost kicked me,,,,,the drink. Good Luck as my Sista is here with me today. My little helper to get things done. Make some cash money on the side The Italian way.
They gave my little sister Morphine to ease her passing at the age of 16! She had a rare form of leukemia that she fought for 5 yrs before succumbing to it! It tore my mother's heart!

It's hard to believe that Micky JAGGER will be 80 this year. Go Mick, and the Rolling Stones, and THANK YOU for contributing such wonderful music for the World.
What a life The Stones have led !! I think his Dad lived into his 90’s so Mick is a good chance !!
Many people don't realize how devoted Mick Jagger was to keep in shape. Something his father impressed and required him and his brother to do in their youth. His father was a renowned Physical Education professor, and an expert on basketball, which he wrote a book about. His father also had his own TV show on physical fitness when Mick was a kid. His drug use was both overplayed, and maybe even purposeful to make him appear cool. He never did heroin or morphine. He likes marijuana.

Mick must have a genius doctor on his side prescribing a cocktail of uppers and stabilizers
I think Sir Mick's drug has always been sex. He's obviously taken good care of himself with an exercise regimen all these years. It's hard to believe Keith is still with us. God bless them and let's hope we'll all be around for a few years yet. I did the heroin thing myself for years and am now using
My older brother (68) passed away five months ago. He had morphine every 6 hours to calm his pain (cancer). I remember his last shot at 10pm, closed his eyes with a sweet smile and in the morning I found him dead.
🤗🙏🏼🤗🌹
I'm with you....! My ten years older brother, I loved him so much, died because of Aids. He was addicted to heroin over 20 years. He was so intelligent and special in art and music. And all the time he was part of our family!
I know it is a different life, another story...! But we helped him to pass over and I am sure he could go into the light, calm and with this smile.
we love him so much! Like you love your brother.... 💔🌹

Thanks. I appreciate what you've done. I hope our country has done the same for you.
I salute you sir
When i now hear this song it takes me back to the period i was addicted to heroin, cocain and methadon. And i can really feel what i felt then. Several times brought to the hospital. I am clean now. But still can feel it , like its now
Congrats dash hope still clean & Celebrating you.
Mever Used but see so many. 😢

It has been over 5 years now , when I've kicked a 40 year old Heroin-addiction !! Almost 60 and still alive and kicking !! (Allways 'd thought that it would be IMPOSSIBLE , but I'm still around !!)
Been clean 16years now, after 20 some years of heroin use, wish my brother Ron and a lot of friends could have made it.
Have you guys paid back all the people you stole from?
You must of had an angel on your shoulder to make it through that!
People like you should travel through schools.
The US is dying at this very moment, I wonder which country is next.
Well done
My mom was a Registered Nurse & worked alongside many young Interns (first year being doctor) one of which was Andrei Barnard - son of Heart Transplant Surgeon Christian Barnard... Andrei became a Morphine addict due to injuries caused by a car accident... He was not allowed access to the Hospital's Medicine cabinet- my mom was so fond of him & always helped where she cld - he eventually died from an overdose... Will never forget how she cried at his death - also fotos of his father crying heart breakingly at the funeral... Drugs are dangerous... Elixir for worlds probs for a while but never the solution...

Bill Wyman is in his mid 80's. R.I.P Charlie . August 24th will sit in my memory for the rest of my life
Absolute genius they are, I’m so grateful to have been at
the beginning and made it to the present. Thank you Rolling Stones.
Likewise, I have listened to and truly loved the stones since 63 or so. Little red rooster even. A great trip.
Probably my favorite Stones album "Sticky Fingers"....so many great cuts Mick Taylor at his best IMO I feel he started to get over the whole RS thing ORR was the end of my fave stuff
does not take a genius to get high on drugs and make music......
There were so many other deserving "sober" artists who
deserved so much more.
@@chrisholder4978 that is so self righteous, music is very subjective and we all have differences at some point. Being straight and sober doesn’t necessarily make great music. Are you going to have musicians take UA tests before stepping into the recording studio?
That was my sister for many moons. clean now 34 years PEACE
Peace to you and your family My Friend!! ✌️✌️✌️❤❤❤
I can only imagine the incredible grief that the Stones, his family are experiencing at this very difficult time. My condolences to them. I know that the entire world is grieving with them. What a tremendous loss. I am shocked and deeply saddened. Rest in peace Charlie. You will never be forgotten.
I loved this song, back in the day when I was "getting a nod on". I took some bad roads, but I survived, some how. I am 75 years old now, and methadone is the only way I can make it from one day to the next. Chasing Miss Morphia cost me a lot, but I still think about the perfection of the feeling every day. Don't mess around young ones. Sooner or later, your dues must be paid..in full.
StellarBlue1 so true mate and so sorry for you then again I am still trying to get clean after almost 25 years only thing that helps to get me through the day is my dose of metodone and some people talk about making Herion legal what fools the are for wanting that
StellarBlue1 ive not took heroin or valium or methadone for over 4 years now. Its a daily struggle. Long for them hazy moments. But fucked my life up. Dont ever take heroin or all. You miss out on life.
Same here !! Almost 60 and I've kicked the addiction !! Hooked for 37 years on a needle !! But still going strong !!
Methadone is NOT the only answer. I used heroin for 25+ years and have been clean now for 17+. Life is good!
StellarBlue1 rollio stop pentì blek
Another one of my very favourite Rolling Stones great songs. Takes me back to my teenage years. Those were carefree times and simpler times. 👍😃
So, I came here to listen to this wonderful version of one of my fav RS songs. Instead, I found myself spending the better part of close to two hours reading the comments. In that time, and in all the words i read, and with the atmosphere and mood of the song, it's so eerie and sad that we live in a world that lacks compassion for our sisters and brothers who struggle daily with pain, addiction, and all the things that come with that package, whether it be homelessness, loneliness, the senseless loss of a husband or child or being excommunicated by friends and family and a healthcare system that regards little for the patient, while money is the real core of it's function. Some comments had me wandering back to the late 60's and early 70's when my close friends were being drafted into a war they didn't understand, or my high school friends that never made it back home. (I spent a moment to reflect on them in particular, so I'm grateful for the reminder). And, of course, those who served and gave so much of themselves, yet how are we serving them in return today? Respect for the kind and caring replies from people from all corners of the world who showed understanding and sent positive thoughts and kind words to those who really needed to hear them, or said "brother, you're not alone" and even a stranger who said "look me up, maybe I can help you". For sure, there is a kind of magic in a song that not only transports us back to another time....music truly is a universal language that can bring out the very best in us if we listen not only with ears, but with our hearts.
Wow thank you
Well said straight from the heart

One of the many reasons why the Rolling Stones is the greatest Rock'n Roll band in the world EVER !!

Morphine messed me up back in 1991 after a near fatal car accident those nurses kept me so doped up I was absolutely miserable.
Love this raw version.
Sad sad song but truest lyrics.
15 years strung out. I got clean and felt great. My husband died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Now I’m hoping this shot will be my last
❤ Sweetheart I truly hope & Pray that you are still with us! I was strung out on heroin for well over 25 years. I'm clean and SO VERY GRATEFUL that I don't have to start my days "dope sick" anymore! and I sincerely don't want that kind of life anymore!! I honestly don't think that could be considered "a life" actually ❤❤😢😢 🙏🙏✌️✌️😇😇🥰🥰
We sometimes injected morphine (not heroin) in addition to amphetamine. The 70's. But when my wife was in the hospital for cancer, this song had a completely different meaning that fits closer to the lyrics. (my wife is clean from cancer now)
Its heroin not heroine
Damn Franz, hope all is well now. So happy for your better halfs recovery. We need your good woman on this earth!!!
@@timhitt9541 - Took it as word play, not the answer and mostly a crutch.
Besides, remember reading this was a song about smack so if not accurate at least a forgivable cultural misrepresentation.
Just be happy & safe!Take care!
Cheers 🥂from Estonia🤘🏻
I lost mine 7 years ago and everyday sucks without her. 💙💔
Once, while hospitalized, I was given morphine to ease the pain. In the next few minutes, I knew exactly how someone can easily get addicted to it! It was scary, knowing that this drug could make someone feel that way!!
it happened to me the same way
Lol I smoked crack ones , was the last time I smoked it !! Only lasted 5 minutes and it felt awesome !!! Scared the living shit out off me !!
Yip. Had accident 30 years ago. Was two years before I could walk again without crutches among other problems but I was on a morphine pump for two months and then suddenly it was gone….. here I am all these years later after going to jail three times and overdose several times have lost all the people that mattered as the only thing that mattered was the next fix…. Even with treatment the addiction never leaves me…. It’s about the only thing I still have…. Life down the drain.. hospitals need to help patients with addiction before they sling us out the door. It’s no joke and as much as those that have never been addicted think it’s not about choosing the drugs…. It’s feeling like there’s no way to live without it…. Hate you opiates…
This is an awesome song, but it has a much much deeper meaning for those of us that have lived it, that's for certain!! I suppose there were times in the beginning where it really gave us a good feeling, but I can listen to this and feel 40+ years of pain in 6 minutes; all the shattered dreams, deaths of close friends and family members, and burnt relationships!! I'm able to make it with Methadone myself for the last twenty years, but even that has been far from a smooth sail because storms and tumultuous waves have still intermittently pounded the ship!! I am blessed to have the greatest understanding daughter!! Shout out to all those that are still struggling...
i was on morphine for 15yrs, quit, a week of the he b ge bs ,and i have not had any or wanted any for 2yrs now....
I’ll drink to that , my addiction was Oramorph n Vodka , been addicted ain’t an easy road but made more bearable,by the Stones .
Nicely said. Enjoy ur life and ur daughterr
HAT(Heroin as a Treatment) over MAT(Methadone or Bupe). In England they use H in hospitals and they use H in clinics throughout Switzerland and Europe. Primary care physicians in Canada can now prescribe H. In th US they'd rather fill ur body up with opiates while at the same time perpetuating the destruction of endorphins. Just research it, HAT shows substantially more efficacy than MAT.
I understand 😎💪
One of the Stones greatest masterpieces, never played for obvious reasons anymore.
Grandes.
Brainwashing, play it anyway.

There should play this Version
Yeah the Stones have become PC Pussys just like the rest. True colors always come out sooner or later and it’s all just an image Lie.
a 1971 song that is still real in 2021 fifty years later
I was 26 last year when I discovered this song, hell, tears rolling down my cheeks ಠ_ರೃ wayyy too good. No wonder they are legends
When i made my Morphine Shot in the 70s, always this Song was on my turntable...After 8 years shooting and 2 years in prison and 2 years in india, 1980 JESUS CHRIST came an set me free immediately without cold turkey from this Habit. Gloria to Him! Now free for 40 years,

Haunting song, and vastly underrated.
I could not agree more Gary, although I prefer the original recording
I'm just discovering this AWSOME song, although I can say I've been a big fan of them since I was 15..!! please people don't laugh at me.. I just never bought "sticky fingers", as well as some others.. Once again, life surprises me in my 50's now, by making me discover a fantastic song of the Stones! AWSOME song once again!!! to some funny dumbass I've read sometimes here, claiming that Jagger is a bad singer.. oh, oh, oh !!! he is one of the greatest singers in pop and rock music..
Underrated by who?

And especially not the Beatles. Mick Jagger sings about the hard stuff of life. Don’t look to him about Strawberry Fields,

Beautiful Song Exzellent Mega COOL Thanks For Streaming 👉💯🎸👅🎸
Love this song, every time I listen to it I think of two friends that OD'd and they were heavily into the Stones back in the day. My band will play this live, it's very emotional to me and one of my favourite Stones songs.
OH YEAH, (THIS SONG), has A LOT, of deep meaning to me, having had three mates,(20's), o-d, on "Harry", back in the 80's
Cont.. and (I, NEARLY),
Contd.., V NEARLY,JOINED THEM, with "SISTER MORPHINE", being MY, "drug of choice", 🥺😖😵☠
Guitar work is so fine on this
I love this song. I've never taken drugs but I understand, close friends, family friends, acquaintances... their lives ruined.
I was so young when this came out, I thought Morphine was the name of his sister. Ahhhh to be that naive again.
@Ronnie Wood My pleasure for sure.
@Ronnie Wood Since the early 70's, I was young. I saw the Stones in 1982 or 81 at the Richfield Coliseum. Tattoo You, still have the ticket. I have bought Lips, but no art. I am an artist myself.

This is one of the best Rolling Stones live recordings I’ve ever heard. I recorded much of Flashpoint and wish it sounded this good.
Music is also more than a pic or two, also.
Never been addicted. Thank God. but this Song is amazing on so many other levels then just addiction. The Stones tell their tails and we listen.
One of the best tracks on the No Security live album. Mick in fine voice and guitars intermeshing nicely.
RodRollingStone memory motel is great too
This version is on that album?? Good to know, thank you
saying Mick is in fine voice and guitars intermeshing nicely is a understatement.
I heard this tune on the Metamorphosis album
@@smwrbd It's not on Metamorphis, but on Sticky Fingers. First released by Marianne Faithfull tho (in 1969, two years earlier than by the Stones). Also, she is the co-writer of this. Great much later live version here: ua-cam.com/video/Q712oEHjlVA/v-deo.html
Sister Morphine/Composer
Marianne Faithfull
I wonder how many cancer patients feel the way I do about this song. I HATE MORPHINE. I refuse to take it now, I refuse to be hospitalized. I refuse to leave me dog. Instead I listen to the music. Some call it transcendental meditation, some call it God, some call it crazy. All the same to me. Whatever gets ya though the night, is alright, it's alright.
my late husband was on morphine, amongst other things and sometimes he would be "bouncing off the walls"
My colon cancer was much less painful than either shingles or my Wife's RSD. To pain patients morphine can mean life out of bed
Respect
@@dannee3731 Depends on the dose they give you & why & how they are giving it . Lost my mom in 2002 after a 14 year struggle with lung cancer. In the final days they gave it it her as to ease her breathing & make her end of days more comfortable. It was never given to make her high but to simply ease the pain of dying. Much of this song is about a guy that according to Marianne Faithful who wrote the words to this was in a car crash & dying in the hospital while pleading for Morphine to ease his pain even though he & the staff know he won't survive. The words are pretty clear on why he is there & it's not cause he's an addict as they don't bleed to death as the final line says You can sit around and watch the clean white sheets stain red. Also in England nurses are referred to Sisters hence the name of the song. Morphine when used as it was with my & your mom helped them ease their struggle , but when used as Junk it's a terrible addiction that usually ends in death less your very lucky & can with help kick it. Like all narcotics they make you feel like your on top of the world but it's a false feeling as once you come down it's all comes back & you want more. I do speak from some experience as i have tried both Heroin & Morphine in the early 70's . Never again will i be so stupid but that was so long ago & i as a musician got roped into trying it as it was around & real. I did them both several times & it was enough to realize it would be like it it still is ,a dead end. Sorry to hear you lost your mom as i have done the same & we both know as do others that have been through this it's a bad thing with a worse outcome. On your real question it makes everyone feel good but it also is different with different people. If your hurt they give it to relieve these symptoms & they know death is around the corner but all cases are not the same. but those who take it as a get high drug are only trying to find an escape & that they do till it kills them or they get lucky enough to kick it. Fooling around with these drugs can only lead to misery & lost time. Wrote this song way before i lost my mom but for all the time i did lose during my Jr. & High School years playing with drugs. ua-cam.com/video/RHj04fFTrZI/v-deo.html
There are numerous countries in africa that arent allowed opioids because of americas stupid racist war on drugs ,two faced hypocrisy,.....which means people die in screaming agony from cancer and other horrendous painful conditions.....the american government are nothing short than utter scum....

How can you not like this version?
Dane Kincaid
I like it but I wish Charlie Watts would have come in druming in the middle of the song like he did in the official version. That was sooo effective for a drug song dont you think?
The curse of the world is drug addiction.
I have loved the playing of the Stones all of my 76 years but no song touches me deeper than this one.
I conside myself fortunate to have avoided opioid addiction but any addiction leads you down a dark road.
Love this live version. Also great to see the old pics with Charlie. Thanks for putting this up.
I love this song. Great pictures of never seen any of them before. Thanks. The Rolling Stones greatest band forever ❤

The Stones are like the seasons, every year they're still here! The UNESCO will take care of them.
‘Sister Morphine’. 'Sister Morphine' The lyrics were penned by Marianne Faithful as she imagined a car crash victim in hospital crying out for morphine. Despite her later addiction, the singer said she was clean at the time of writing the track. Jagger already had the melody.
Only a few lines by Marianne and Mick finished it.
I too,am here in Chicago hooked on methadone. I'm 58 years old and been taking it for 15 years. Now I have a fiance, and a job waiting for me in Spain. I can't leave because I'm a slave to this methadone clinic I attend. I'm down to 40 mg from 100mg.and boy is it gotten painful now!!! Good luck to everyone on this thread of replys.
Man we have methadone in Europe, I bet the rules are even more easy to live with. I get mine by going once a week to the farmacy and get my medication for one week. I don't need to see a doctor, only when I think it is necessary I can go. I worked all my live as a secretary, went on abroad holidays with my husband and always took my medication with me. Got a kind of medication passport from the pharmacy where I go and so I could take my methadone with me in the airplane, over the borders and into Austria ( I am from The Netherlands) I know in Spain it is the same, rules are not so tight as in the US, one can get a maintenance dose or a tapering dose, you make the choise. I must say, I always got 30 mg and reduced it to 10 now, which was not so difficult for me, but everyone can decide his own rate. So it is a shame you did not get your new job and tried it over here. I hope you do get another change and take it, for I really really think you would be better of here. Anyway, whatever choice you make, have a great life.
Hi there ! My name is John and I live in the Netherlands . I started using when I was only 14 years old and stayed on that stuff until about 10 years ago ! My "works" went into the bin and now I'm almost 63 , but Methadone gave me the opportunity to find a job and pick up my "Social Life" ! Thank God on my knees that Methadone is almost fully integrated ! It saved my life ! Go , and walk your road , bro !! And keep away from the "dragon" !
When you were living in Europe , and yoy are on Methadone , you can get a "Schengen-letter" , so you can pas the authorities without a problem ! (I've been on holydays in Spain several times , WITH Methadone ! Is there nothing in YOUR country like a letter from the institution where yoy get you meds from ?
Hello Bro . Another thing : Over here in Holland it is possible to get Methadone . And when you're in a program , it is also possible to go to , for example , Spain , on holyday or for work and the " Schengen-agreement" made it possible overhere in Europe to get your Methadone also in other European countries , like Spain ! It's even possible to take your Meds across the border when you are in a program ! Maybe something like this is also available for citizens of America , I don't know , but , it's worth trying ! Me , I wonna spend my "last years" in Spain , together with my beloved (clean !) "Ol'Lady" ! Looking forward to this ! But , first we have to deal with "Covid-19" !! Keep on fighting the Dragon , bro ! Succes !!

I was clean for 15 years. I thought I was alright. 3 months ago I relapsed, and then again tonight. Its been a battle off and on with some kind of drug since I was 12. My heart got broken too easily and thats what pushed me over the line.,,I am 65 now and you would think I would be ok. I guess I will keep fighting the good fight. I hope you keep up the good fight too. Love and light to you
Did you see that Ronnie wrote you a comment? The next time you feel down and want to use just listen to a classic rock marathon with lots of Stones mixed in. Your lucky enough to love this music so love it living.
@Ronnie Wood Class Act Ronnie...you and Kieth were quite the duo in NYC in the 80's. Earl the Rootsman was one of my productions with Mike Cacia the reggae pioneer who brought many acts to the USA + Europe!
I smoke marihuana every day that kept me away from a lot off other shit , I did cocaine never a problem I did crack scared the shit out off me ,the feeling and how short it was never did it again , I did methadon never did it again or had cravings for it , I got ADHD witch makes me easy addicted and a shitty childhood , alcoholism is big problem in my family that’s why I don’t,t drink . I,m not saying you should smoke weed now but it might help and it’s legal in lots of places now . I got a wife 2 lovely daughters a great job 2 dogs 3 cats 2 houses and always a big stash of marihuana in my house to keep me calm and chill , my life became pretty great and I truly thank marihuana for it , it’s so much better then Ritalin , concerta and other medical solutions. It’s proven in study,s that marihuana makes you less addicted to cocaine and other upper drugs .

But my children grown say moma we still need but when one is old in pain and have to take an opium to live it not these day the doctors where I’m living now in the south doesn’t treat the disease I feel it where I live to get the best and I miss the Bay Area my husband send me here to my professor daughter on vacation not letting me know his cancer had return 2017 it strange I was the one with the Bone disease with a time limit life is really strange but we had 30 years of life so that was good love The Rolling Stones I like Keith guitar playing best next to Jimi Hendrix my late husband was a lefty guitar player 70’s &80’s best yrs for music
Wow, what a great performance. Such a dark, dark song...., hard to do live. And they killed it. Awesome.
@Ronnie Wood you da man! Thanks for all the fantastic music! Great painter too. I own one of your pieces (of Keith). Awesome.
Yes. Dark...poignant... haunting... disturbing. The Stones during this period really knew how to paint a picture. Sublime, deep.
OMG I own (I imagine) the exact same print by Ronnie Wood of Keith as you do. Mine is called, if I recall, Blue Smoke Keith?? (something Blue) I got it for my 40th birthday (my cash paid for it, mind you, hehe), and, in my opinion, it's the best work Ronnie has ever done. It's fabulous. I'm a huge Keith fan, so this painting has, actually, become my most favorite, prized possession. I love it.
A powerful plea to beat the addiction. The guitar and the drums are fantastic.
This iconic song still gives me goosebumbs after about 30 years and the fact I used to be a heroin, morphine, and cocaine gives it a true to life edge... I'm still blown away by its simple yet earth shattering statement ..
and if you ever saw anyone suffer you would never wish to see them hurt so much when craving the next fix and/or trying to come off of it
The time that Mick Taylor spent with them were the best times musically, I think...
Without question you are correct, best times musically for them and one of the best for rock, period.
Yes I love this time , ever and ever again. It's my live, without stones my life would be empty. Thank you!!!
Brian......
huh Anastasia? (don't scream in vain)
Clever pun... Rumor has it that I escaped my fate..
Für mich ist das Weltklasse.
nicht nur für dich!
Fantastic song
Sad truthful song. Thank you Stones for your honesty. This is what music is supposed to be about.
That song makes me cry! I love this song too! And It is so beautiful Jagger's voice in this! Sure!
The voice of experience. Listen and learn.
This song literally gave me chills!
This is so profound and the music so matches the experience of addition. Haunting and powerful. Long Live the Rolling Stones - Foxy
Gliding through the ups and downs of life, such a reminder of the past ...
This captures the best of their sound and vibration ...cool track
I am sober since little more then 2 years after 50 years of doing hard stuf. At 13 I was playing wits needles and 30 years larer I discover crack...At 59 I decide rhat it was enought and that I wanted to live. It happend that after a month the craving miraculous stop thanks God,. Now I'am getting to Know myself and to enjoy life. I'am proud I did it and my son is more than happy about it. I wish to every junkie suffering to awake and get free. Sister morphine is still my best song and it make my heart squeezed every time I listen to it
the staggering genius of it all
Sticky Fingers .. what a record !!
I hope they give me a morphine drip when my pain gets to be too much to bear 70 this summer and still giving my 46 year old wife a good time thank God
Great song and a excellent rendition!
This song is a great place to live when you don't know how to make it back to a home you wish you'd never left
A very poignant comment filled with regret. Hope you get back there one day...if now possible
@Ronnie Wood hey man I write alot of eclectic ramblings and it's so gratifying in so many ways just like your message. It's a freeballin' world Daddy-O and I'm still looking to make my mark and exceed my goal of top 5 legacy personified. But you can't chase it cause you'll never catch it just like a fine woman. You gotta let her come to you and that's a hard trick to master. Ain't life grand sir !?! Good journey old buddy ,...........,.
@Ronnie Wood long time fan. No autograph. I use to sign lots of autographs for fans when I was a crew member in Nascar racing. I totally understand the marketing aspect. Chasing that almighty dollar. How about a badass Bentley or Rolls Royce with handwritten lyrics all over by you and the lads and your wore out jeans used to cover the interior seats mate. Now there's a real souvineir fit for a king or prince or wiseman rife with the splendored grandeur and trappings of the wildest imagination to possess exotic women and chambermaidens laden with lust for restless souls of conquered lands and treasure Royale. Keep your sail trimmed and your back to the wind.
I turned 50 last year and remember this song being the soundtrack of my youth & addiction.
I would've listen to it before I even would master English (give or take) so I barely have been able to understand lyrics hence I would hear what I'd wish to.
Heroin/opiates' charm is long gone while the song 'abides' and grows even more haunting and exhilarating with time.
The best version...with the haunting echo in Jaggers voice! The strange audience sound also adds.....cool.
I'm apparently the odd one out because I don't do drugs, smoke (anything) and hardly drink alcohol. I just like the music.
I have been clean for 25 years and today a friend of mine called me to say he had some China White .... I drove 30 miles to taste his wares and after indulging I remembered the warmth and security of sanctuary that only comes from a needle and a spoon - I will appreciate today and return to my sober life in the morning
c'est là une superbe version d'une de leurs plus belle chanson je ne m'en lasse pas !
je confirme
The best band on this planet
A great and very underrated song
This version is just perfect
Just think about it:
About 30 years after the song was written
And still 20 years ago
This is from The Capital Theatre Live From The 10 Spot MTV Special, super version 🕺🎸💎👌🇮🇪☘️
One of the best rock bands EVER.
jean ann Kerr the best. Zep has the rock but not the roll
THE BEST EVER!
THE ROLLING STONES LA MEJOR BANDA DE ROCK EN EL MUNDO
jean ann Kerr Buffalo, NY agrees. Stones played here 6 times. 1969, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1981, 2015. Yes that Buffalo called ( SNOW CAPITAL OF USA ). Its True Lake Erie dumps 10-12 feet every winter. We got that name because 1977 Blizzard we got 19 feet of snow. Still had snow on ground in June. City & Schools closed for 3 weeks. ALWAYS WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO. Hope I didnt scare you with all that snow talk. People were really afraid of us. We were lucky Niagara Falls is close for Visitors.
the best
Mick has finally made it big. News of his recovery from his heart ailment is great, though the doctor wood only say that the prognosis is good. Glad the old boy is gonna hang around for a while. Welcome back m'man!
I have had morphine once in my life. I was in the Emergency Room with chest pain and shortness of breath. I had via IV push. Small dose, about 2 milligrams. I'm not gonna lie...The pain stopped, and I felt very mellow. I'm also an LPN, and I have administered morphine to many patients over the years. I would NEVER take a patient's medication..
Great guitar and vocals - great live version.
The Rolling Stones best Band forever and ever thank you so much For Video 👉💯🎸💯🎸💯🎸💯
One of their best tracks.
This is actually the first time I've heard this by The Stones although I've been listening to Marianne's version for years, she kills it.
This your first time hearing the Stones "version" of this? Wow. Where ya been all these years. And while Marianne does an admirable take on it, it remains the Stones version that is really iconic.
Sadly most people do not know it is her song
In 1988 I kick the habit. Still clean, but it is still a perfect song. Brings back good and bad memorys.
Greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
It’s not what you do. It’s June you do it.
In its pharmaceutical form it can. Be quite a Benefit to those who suffer from chronic pain.
I am one of those people.
Will never mess with the other stuff. Glad you quit. I quit drinking which was a blood curse from my Irish side. Put to rest.
Almost kicked me,,,,,the drink.
Good Luck as my Sista is here with me today. My little helper to get things done. Make some cash money on the side
The Italian way.
Again tuned into it why it gets to me all the time ❤☀️
