I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

But I went down to the demonstration
To get your fair share of abuse
Singing, “We’re gonna vent our frustration
If we don’t we’re gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse”

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was “dead”
I said to him

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need

You get what you need, yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find You just might find
You get what you need

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah.

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in Dartford in 1962. The earliest settled line-up consisted of Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (keyboards, piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica), Keith Richards (guitar, vocals), Bill Wyman (bass) and Charlie Watts (drums). Since Wyman’s retirement in 1993, the band’s full members have been Jagger, Richards, Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood who joined in 1975. Darryl Jones (bassist) and Chuck Leavell (keyboardist) are regular contributors but not full band members. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted the Rolling Stones in 1989, noting that “critical acclaim and popular consensus has accorded them the title of the “World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.”Rolling Stone magazine ranked them 4th on their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time” list, and their album sales are estimated to have been more than 200 million worldwide . : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :Single by the Rolling Stones

ROCK : : : : Jagger commented on the song’s beginnings: Composition : : : :

“You Can’t Always Get What You Want” was something I just played on the acoustic guitar—one of those bedroom songs. It proved to be quite difficult to record because Charlie couldn’t play the groove and so Jimmy Miller had to play the drums. I’d also had this idea of having a choir, probably a gospel choir, on the track, but there wasn’t one around at that point. Jack Nitzsche, or somebody, said that we could get the London Bach Choir and we said, “That will be a laugh.” : : : : Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said: “If you buy John Lennon’s observation that the Rolling Stones were apt to copy the Beatles’ innovations within a few months or so, ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ is the Rolling Stones’ counterpart to ‘Hey Jude’.” Jagger said in 1969, “I liked the way the Beatles did that with ‘Hey Jude’. The orchestra was not just to cover everything up—it was something extra. We may do something like that on the next album.” Unterberger elaborated:

Much has been made of the lyrics reflecting the end of the overlong party that was the 1960s, as a snapshot of Swinging London burning out. That’s a valid interpretation, but it should also be pointed out that there’s also an uplifting and reassuring quality to the melody and performance. This is particularly true of the key lyrical hook, when we are reminded that we can’t always get what we want, but we’ll get what we need.Jimmy Hutmaker of Excelsior, Minnesota, United States, claimed to be the “Mr. Jimmy” cited in the song and that he said the phrase “you can’t always get what you want” to Jagger during a chance encounter at an Excelsior drug store in 1964. However, David Dalton, a writer for Rolling Stone who witnessed the filming of The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, claims in his commentary for the DVD of the concert that “Mr. Jimmy” refers to Miller, the Stones producer from 1968 to 1973.

Marianne Faithfull has also claimed a role: “Obviously I also contributed to ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ and ‘Dear Doctor’ – junk songs … I know they used me as a muse for those tough drug songs. I knew I was being used but it was for a worthy cause.””You Can’t Always Get What You Want” reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 34 on the Cashbox Top 100 Singles chart.: : : Donald Trump played the Rolling Stones’ recording of the song at campaign appearances during the 2016 Republican primaries and the presidential election, including his nationally televised acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in July., the band said publicly that they do not endorse Trump and requested that he cease all use of their songs immediately.The Trump campaign continued to use the song during 2020,Trump was again warned by the Stones not to use their music.According to Jagger, the band considers the use of the song as a play-out at rallies to be “odd,” given that it is a “sort of doomy ballad about drugs in Chelsea.” classic off of the Stones’s Let it Bleed that deals with the difference between desire and need. The main point it tries to get across is that life can suck sometimes when you’re trying to get something you think you need, but that usually ends in you getting what you actually need.

The song is also viewed as a depiction and signal of the end of the 1960’s (the song was released in ‘69), as it deals with love, drugs, and politics. It isn’t always viewed as having a positive outlook on the future, but the underlying tone is somewhat optimistic (you’ll get what you need).

The song is one of the Stones’ best known songs and has become a classic rock staple. The song is about how not achieving your goal isn’t necessarily a loss – for maybe you saved yourself from something bad and/or learned a lesson. That’s the message he’s giving over and over again in the song.

Case in point: The woman. Mick paints a picture of a woman, and himself as a footloose man…someone kind of anxious and or nervous to meet her. Towards the end of the song, we revisit the woman and we see her as deceitful and villainous – how she kind of has this blood and this other man in her hands. Mick didn’t get the girl, but he got what he needed – a lesson that appearances can be deceiving.

The protest verse illustrates that even though the protestors may not achieve their goals…they sing, vent their frustrations. They may not get what they want, but they got what they needed – a platform to express their opinions.

The drugstore verse illustrates how this Jimmy guy is waiting to for pills to keep him alive (could also be a narcotic reference as well lol). Mick meets up with him and the boys share a sweet drink to pass the time. Mick “sang his song” about enjoying the moment, to Jimmy…to where Jimmy basically responds that he needs to get these pills to stay alive…to where Mick replies:

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need . : : : : : : : : It feels like a modern biopic of the Rolling Stones. There is so much a dissonance ( બેસૂરા પણું : કર્કશતા છે તેથી જ તો અનુભવીએ છીએ : વિસંવાદિતા માં વિરોધી પણું હોય જેને વાંસળી ના સંવાદિતા સર્જીત સૂરો થી ટેવાઈ જતું સધાયેલુ શિષ્ટ મન નહીં લાગે તેથી કર્કશ ગણી ધૂત્કારી કાઢી નાંખે. ) માટે કહીશું કે Feel it like a movie .Jagger puts his narrator is a series of mundane situations that somehow spin off into the surreal. At a society reception, he meets a woman waiting to score drugs with an ineffectual “footloose man” tethered to her side. Speaking of ineffectual, the crowd at the demonstration promising, “we’re going to vent our frustration/ If we don’t, we’re going to blow a 50-amp fuse” doesn’t realize how little their histrionics will ultimately change.

In the third verse, Jagger, running an errand for someone “to get your prescription filled” runs into “Mr. Jimmy,” who seems to be a victim of the decade’s excess: “And, man, did he look pretty ill.” After sharing a soda, the narrator sings him a song and gets the cryptic response “dead” in return,Mr. Jimmy looked pretty ill because he hadn’t had his Drug : like heroine lately and was trying to get some methadone, but he didn’t have a prescription. Hence Mcjagger singing “I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was dead
I said to him You can’t always get what you want”

“I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands”


‘her’ is either two things. A Drug (heroine) dealer in disguise , or death. It could be a heroine dealer in that heroine dealers usually shoot up their customers for them, and in doing so might get some blood on their hands. Or it could be referring to death in that she has taken another victim who died of a heroine overdose.

The song again scraping the dark side without quite succumbing to it.“You Can’t Always Get What You Want” could have been rendered in a much melancholier fashion. But the music, if anything, strives for more and more uplift as it progresses, especially in a break featuring Kooper’s gospel piano.In the final verse, he returns to the reception, which has now taken a turn for the macabre, the socialite with “blood-stained hands” trying to hide the fact that she has disposed of her hanger-on. “She was practiced at the art of deception,” Jagger sings, and it’s hard to tell from his delivery if he is impressed or horrified.“You can’t always get what you want/ But if try sometimes, you might find/ You get what you need.” The wisdom of those lyrics is quite stunning.Many of us go wildly awry in search of some personal achievement that is only bound to bring heartbreak. The chorus suggests that there is no shame in settling. If anything, it might be the path to true contentment. ‘I can’t get no satisfaction,’ only articulated differently.” One may say this.

Articulated differently and quite poignantly as a matter of fact. “You Can’t Always Get You Want” remains the Rolling Stones song most likely to provide solace when your goals outstrip your reach.The theme of the entire song is something that is common to all humans. Our dissatisfaction with our lives and our need to detach from what we think we want and what we really, really need. This theme is repeated not only once but the infinite magical 7 times if you include the interlude of the angelic choir.
The lyrics in between this central theme just point to the art of deception of our worldly aspirations of power(the demonstration) and pleasure (the lady waiting to make her drug connection).2nd verse = political protest: we have to “vent our frustration” otherwise we “blow a fifty-amp fuse”, which is ridiculous as a consequence of a protest, so what we protest for ??? So, irony in this!! The “footloose man at her feet” may be an ironical way to see a man who depends on his woman and nevertheless he thinks to be free !! OR , insted a footloose man at her feet signifies the only person who is actually free ?!?! The footloose man is actually someone who is free from these delusion and able to make a free decision. But why is he at the foot of this deceptive lady? It is because, the only way to be free from these delusion of what we think we want, and what we really need is to be at the foot of mankind and serve : Another Thought : : : : : : : : The delusion is that freedom is doing what ever we want when the real truth is that freedom is doing what we really need to do for each other which is to serve. : : : : : : : : : : : : : To this day , Mick Jagger is 78 years old ( b. July 26 , 1943 ).Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones was found dead of an apparent accidental drowning on July 3 , 1969.: : : : : : : : You Can’t Always Get What You Want : : The song information study thoughts etc Compiled by V Jayaraj January 4 , 2022 2022 : Pune India : : : : : : : :
