I can't sleep…
My singing days have passed.
My voice is gone.
My throat is worn.
And my lungs are going fast.
~ Chuck Berry, (October 18, 1926 – March 18, 2107) as quoted in RollingStone.com, October 27, 2012
Notes:
If you leave / When I go / Find me / In the shallows / Lying on my back / Watching stars collide / Let it all rain down…
‘Shallows’ is taken from Daughter’s first album ‘If You Leave’.

Q: This never gets old to you?
Keith Richards: No. No. It gets more interesting actually. The weird thing is that every time I play “Satisfaction”, I’m finding new ways, just a little lick here and a little lick there, and I wish we would have put that on the record, but the fact is that the way things go, you wrote songs and five days later you’ve recorded it. You barely know the thing. And then you take it on the road for 50 years and I’m starting to get the hang of it now.
Need a fix, find The Rolling Stones music video here: “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction“
Once we get the human part down, “stop slamming doors” and start loving rocks…
Get the ordinary human thing down, and you will have all the spirituality that you can handle.
