Hide Your Love

Music: pff… um… it was today.. jazzy, bluesy, head-banging.. and more. At this very moment, “Hide Your Love” by the Rolling Stones (from “Goats Head Soup”)
Mood: getting better
In my glass: Italian red (Primitivo)


“Hide Your Love”… one of my most faves of the Stones!! The album is from 1973…. How old was I at that time?? What a weird kid I was, huh?
Several years later, I still remember now, when “Black and Blue” was out, I was at senior-high. I was on my way home from school, I heard somebody calling me from a few blocks behind me… He, a boy from the school newspaper which I was also a member of, had that brand new Stones album!! He said: “Hey, look what I’ve got!!” Ooooh, I was sooooo jealous! I had to wait another week to buy it!!

Hhmm… “Hide Your Love”…No, I can’t.. couldn’t hide my love… that could often be a problem… Well, at the moment, I have nothing to hide ;) LOL!!

As St. Valentine’s is now just around the corner, I see those “lovely hearts” everywhere. There are lots of therapies and such for the people who have problems with Christmas days… but not with St. V.
Grmpf… I’ll survive, yes, I will!!

Hey, Mick, btw, why don’t you make a good, really good blues album once again???
…and, and please, SPEAK – sing in – ENGLISH!! (or, even better if in Japanese!)
The lyrics of “Hide Your Love” I found on the net are not right, I think.. and those on the liner notes of the album, either. What is he singing actually?? The lyrics below are from the internet. I know.. those words are not exactly he’s singing. But ok, the lyrics are not the most important part of the song, I guess.

First snow this winter. It was a wet, icy snow and I didn’t really like it.. I mean, I do like snow, I do like crisp cold winter… BUT please, please NO rain, NO storm, NO snow on Thursdays, when I have to go to MultiCopy twice by bike!!

I have a headache rather often since this nasty flu… Hope it’s over soon…

Hide Your Love
(The Rolling Stones)

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I'm fallin' on the ground
How do you hide, how do you hide your love?


Now look here, baby, it sure looks sweet
In the sleep time, out in the street
Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?
Why do you hide, baby, why do you hide your love?


Oh, been a sick man, I wanna cry
Lord, I'm a drunk man, but now I'm dry
Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?


Now look here, baby, you sure look cheap
I make money seven days a week
Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?
Why do you hide, baby, hide from the man that you love?


Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on


Oh, babe, I'm reachin', reachin' high
Oh, yeah, I'm fallin' out of the sky
Why do you hide, hide from the man that you love?
Why do you hide, baby, why do you hide your love?


Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Why do you hide, why do you hide your love?
Why do you hide it, baby, hide from the man that you love
That you love? Well, well, well, well
