    Lyrics:
    Men are armed show “who goes there?”
    We have journeyed far from here,
    Armed with bibles, make us swear.
    Candy and Taffy hope you both are well.
    Please come see me in the citadel.
    Flags are flying dollar bills ‘round the heights of concrete hills.
    You can see the pinnacles.
    Candy and Taffy hope you both are well.
    Please come see me in the citadel.
    In the streets are many walls.
    Here the peasants come and crawl.
    You can hear their lovers call.
    Candy and Taffy hope you both are well.
    Please come see me in the citadel.
    Screaming people fly so fast in their shiny metal cards
    Through the woods of steel and glass.
    Candy and Taffy hope you both are well.
    Please come see me in the citadel.
    Oh well.

      @@martinberridge9173 I know that it’s not considered as the best Stones’ work. By far. Nevertheless, it contains brilliant psychedelic gems (apart from “Citadel”) such as "2000 Light Years from Home", “2000 Man", “In Another Land”, “The Lantern" and, off course, “She’s a Rainbow”. So many songs that loads of bands from this era would have dreamt to write or - at least - covered (Kiss or the Damned did it years later for instance). 6 good songs out of 10 : not a bad rate…

    • @Bklyn93
      @Bklyn93 6 років тому +6

      Jones is on Mellotron (basically the harpsichord and medieval sounding stuff during the verses and choruses); Flute (on the ends of the verses you can hear the trills), and soprano saxophone here (After the song comes back "Hear the peasants come and crawl") - those descending sounding medieval notes as Mick sings are Brian on sax.
      Nicky Hopkins provides piano but it's sadly mostly buried here along with basic mellotron work that is also buried.
      Keith does the guitar.
      Bill the bass and Mick the vocals and also tapped a glass to make that "ping" sound.

      Owsley once told me that his bad trips were among his most useful. As he said, "It forces you to confront your own bullshit." I never had a bad trip but I also preferred very high dose tablets, 400 to 800 mics of pharmaceutical quality LSD which didn't seem to lend itself to that . I found smaller doses to be more unstable. I quit taking it in the early 70s because it wasn't as pure, much lower dose and all blotter. Typical dose today is 50 mics.@@robertcooney1938

    I heard that the Citadel was inspired by Andy Warhol's Factory. Candy & Taffy were drag queens & most of the lyric imagery is New York City. Least that was what I was told nearly 40 years ago at a college party with this album playing in the background.

    If we analyze carefully the lyrics to this song, we can see that it's all about the chaos of living in the city. There are allusions to misery, manic religious preaching, police persecution and oppression, even being in a citadel. The refrain is an invitation to two girls, Candy and Taffy, to visit the narrator at the citadel. It can be understood as an hedonistic call as much as a plea for redemption in such environment.
    To me, "Citadel" is a really subtle and powerful song in its imagery. The Stones have created a dark and twisted psychedelia that's not at all about flower-power or peace-and-love. "Citadel" is the real precursor to "Street Fighting Man" or to "Gimme Shelter" in its lyrical content. The song's proto-punk heaviness was visionary, as much as other songs for this album. A sub-par Sgt. Pepper?! Not at all! "Their Satanic Majesties Request" needs to be recognized as a work of its own.

    Funny thing...since I was there, when this record was released, real Rolling Stones fans thought it was the ultimate masterpiece from them. False history (and the fact that The Stones gave the rights from this album and all before it to Alan Klein to get him the h+ll out) has made this album into a "mistake" a ""misstep" a "bad followup to Sargent Pepper" (truly laughable). It was no such thing. Brian's input here was also crucial, as usual. It's a hard thing to do, but here it is: to quote another album title, listen to TSMR without prejudice. It's a fantastic album. And this is one of the best songs on it.

      The guitar on this track is killer. As well as the leads Keith does on the long piece at the end (See What Happens). It proved that even when they were dabbling with drugs, the Stones could still rock, too. And then you've got 2000 Light Years from Home -- space rock, something the Beatles (with whom this album is misleadingly compared) never really touched. It stands on its own. If it were packed without the psychedelic cover, perhaps it would have been taken differently later on?

This little psychedelic number was beyond the norm of say 'Sgt Pepper' with it's sterile studio songs. This is truly just what the trippy hippies wanted in an out of mind and body experience rolled in to one. Brilliant lyrics, great melodies, and yes, even insightful druggy gnomes of wisdom..? I now have at least 12 copies of the original kaleidoscope cover in storage.

      The artwork for this album is on another level. For a late 60s album? Nuts. The little details all over the packaging and of course the trippy holographic front cover image. The album itself I rate as a solid 7/10 psychedelic album just because there are a couple duds in there that bring the energy down too much. That instrumental Sing This All Together interlude at the end of side one in particular should have been about half the length in my opinion. But overall as far as psych albums go, this one is a classic if you ask me. Citadel and 2000 Light Years alone cement it.
