Rolling Stones, The - Sing This All Together Lyrics






Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from
Pictures of us through the steamy haze
Picture of us painted in our place
Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from
Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from
Pictures of us beating on our drum
Never stopping til the rain has come
Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from

    I don't care if Satanic is a rip-off to Sgt. Pepper's, it's one of the greatest psychedelic albums ever made.

  12. T.... B....

    Who cares if Satanic is a Sgt. Pepper's rip-off, it's easily one of the greatest psychedelia albums ever made. I would rank this album a step ahead of Pet Sounds.

  13. V.... F....

    this Album is best psychedelic Sound

  15. L.... C....

    This album is from the genius of Brian Jones. My favourite

    Its actually from fallen angels...Brian, John L., and the stones were under demonic possession when they wrote the songs....also Jimi, Jim Morrison, and more.....
    They sold their souls for Rock n Roll

    Why wasn't Dandelion included in this album? Fits perfectly!

    I love this Trip 😋

    BRIAN JONES plays the Brass on this track. Though Jones didn't compose music, he was a very intuitive musician and knew exactly what a song required to improve the overall feel of the song. His Harp and Blues Slide Guitar playing was very innovative in British Pop in the early sixties. Brian later played Sitar on "Paint It, Black", Dulcimer on "Lady Jane" and "I Am Waiting" and Recorder on "Ruby Tuesday", among others, adding color to those songs and making them so much more memorable.

  21. C.... V....

    WOW...that's John Lennon & Paul McCartney singing background. I remember doing 2 hits of Snoopy in college and playing this album all night long.

    "Their Satanic Majesties Request", released in 1967, is The Rolling Stones' most experimental, exotic, and different work from anything else they've released in their long and illustrious career.
    1967 was a year of turmoil for the Stones with Mick, Keith, and Brian in trouble with the law, thus only seldom were the band members in the studio at the same time to work together on the album. Whoever would turn up in the studio at any time would try to contribute something. It's amazing how great the finished product turned out. The title is a mischievous and rebellious play on the text that appears inside a British passport: "Her Britannic Majesty requests and requires ...."
    "Sing This All Together", a hippie singalong, is the perfect opener that sets the mood just right for this trip --'Open our heads let the pictures come.' The preferred source of transportation is the mind, and to add to the mystique, no two journeys are alike. Proceeding forward we are assured of a safe jaunt as we see a great "Citadel" dominating the sky. This mighty fortress seems to follow us like a star as we enter "In Another Land" and meet Bill there who introduces us to the "2000 Man" and his radiant wife who's emanating much love, joy, and glowing bright colors. Oh "She's A Rainbow" indeed! Moving along, we cross the sea of night, free from the spell of fright, because we carry "The Lantern" light high. We are so far away now we feel like we're "2000 Light Years From Home" where we hear a Rudy Vallée soundalike announce "On With the Show" through a megaphone as a magical and enchanting burlesque extravaganza begins.
    What a trip! These great songs are accentuated with instruments played by cofounder Brian Jones that weren't all that common in Pop and Rock groups like flutes, trumpets & other brass, harpsichords, mellotrons, dulcimer, tamboura, sarod, sitar, and tabla. Helping out on keyboards is Nicky Hopkins (he plays a delightful toy piano on "She's A Rainbow") and cofounder Ian Stewart. Future Led Zep star John Paul Jones did string arrangements on "She's A Rainbow."
    This album is a TEN! It is often unfairly compared to The Beatles' iconic "Sgt Pepper's" album. TSMR blows it away.

    On numerous occasions I've heard people express dissatisfaction with two particular songs on TSMR. This disappoints me because I feel that those two songs in actuality are the most crucial to the overall spirit and essence of the album. First, "Sing This Altogether (See What Happens)" is often criticized for being mostly a long and wasted mish-mash jam, even by those who otherwise like the album. The second objection, to a lesser extent, is the claim that the second half of the song "Gomper", while some of the critics actually like the song itself, is a lengthy, drawn-out instrumental part.

    So I'd like to convey another perspective on those two complaints,

    To be fair to TSMR, we must be careful not to apply modern feelings to a time that exuded a whole different atmosphere and mindset, thus missing the point of the attributes of the songs that are being criticized. The presence of bizarre anachronisms undermines the 2 songs (and the whole album's) historical and artistic value. Its important to factor in the essentials of the social and cultural dynamics of the western world during that time and thus provide some relevant context. 1967 was the year the Stones delved into the world of psychedelia and unleashed this superb album. The key word, actually the number -- is 1967!

    What about 1967? Well, let's consider the words of Newton, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Now consider some of the events that had been going on in the 60s and escalated in 1967 that Walter Cronkite would report on the evening news: The civil disturbances /// the riots --especially the bloody Detroit race riot /// the protests --especially protesting the injustice of the Vietnam war and its atrocities /// racism= causing poverty, unemployment, prejudice, divisions... /// police brutality, especially towards African-Americans........ just to briefly highlight a few.

    Now, take into account the law of cause and effect = the effect being the SYMPTOMS of all the crimes against humanity highlighted above, including the grossly unpopular Vietnam war with all its fury and bloodshed, that have progressed through the 60s and escalating in 1967 = drugs, psychedelic drugs, Summer of love, hippies, peace movements, long hair and other fashion statements, counterculture, individualism, gurus and new agers..... to highlight a few, including == PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC, or Psychedelia. For those who used psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline, etc., the psychedelic music could further enhance the effects and experience of those drugs and vice versa. Therefore long jams in the music, like the two mentioned above on TSMR, were imperative for augmenting the tripping effect ~~~ slipping into reveries and air castles, fantasy dreamscapes, hallucinations.... there were many long songs like that in psychedelia at that time. They were not unconventional in the late 60s to its target audience.--- yet now, well, consider "Revolution 9" from The Beatles' "White Album" that came out a year later. These days that track is also met with a good amount of unfair disapproval. But back then bizarre & freaky tracks like that were quite relevant and facilitated the ultimate head.

    The years go by and we naturally get further removed from the ethos and mindset of those times.

    In conclusion STASWH (& "Gomper" too) are very necessary and integral parts of an album that would have been sorrowfully incomplete without them. We NEEDED them.

    N.... M....

    Finally someone who points out that 1967 was not a good year for the band and looks at the bigger picture.

    N.... M....

    You got it, Nick! ("Uhhhh.... where's that joint...?") 😎

    N.... M....

    I'm old enough to have bought this album upon it's release and mostly agree with your insights and eloquent summation, aside from one assertion, to which I strongly disagree.


    You're correct that it's been 'unfairly compared' to Sgt. Pepper's, but that's because they're completely different animals - very much as the Stones and Beatles are. That comparison is one of the most unfair in music history. So can't you see that it's ludicrous for you to say TSMR 'blows Pepper away' after deeming the comparison unfair? I think you'd agree Sgt. Pepper is the equal 'TEN' that we both agree TSMR is.


    To paraphrase... music is in the ear of the beholder

    N.... M....

    @Nick Madness-
    Wow. Almost sounds like an executive summary for a PhD thesis dissertation. And reminds me of a summary about Jimi Hendrix I had one time and wrote down while I was stoned. Later when I found it I thought it was actually a valid summary of the cause and effect of Hendrix. Unfortunately, I completely forget what it was about now years later. But your summary was a reminder. Bravo! CHeers.

    Did the Stones write this song?  I remember it as the theme song to a TV show called Storyland Theatre or something such.

    A.... C....

    Alvin Carrier --- Yes they did indeed write it. 😃 I am so glad you mentioned that show (the show was called "Story Theatre.") --- NOBODY remembers that darn show. Every time I try to talk about it, people are like 'wtf?' --- I was still a little too young to fully appreciate that show at the time, it was a hippie, psychedelic-sketch-comedy show. --- It was on Saturday evenings at 7PM EST and I was very surprised that a show like that was on a major network, NBC.
    Anyway, I loved the theme song for the show, "Sing This Altogether', not realizing at the time that the song was actually a Stones cover.
    See, I had just turned 11 when TSMR came out in late 1967, so I was far too young to buy records (and God forbid we should have records in the house from long-haired-hippie-freak-weirdos, — even though "Flowers" was actually in the house) and while I was a huuuge fan of The Rolling Stones from the first day they rolled into America, I can only hear their songs on the radio. Then in 1972 when I started buying albums (thanks to a job in my father's restaurant, and willing to fight for buying records) I bought TSMR that I've been dying to own and listen to, and was very pleasantly surprised at the opening track. -- "Hey that's the theme song to 'Story Theatre'!! AWRIGHT!!!" 👍
    Anyway, I'd sure love to see those shows again (especially now that I'm a bit older). I wonder if they're on DVD.

    I don't know who put all these great moving shadowbox videos together over the last 2-3 years but their freaking GREAT! These add so much more texture and visuals to one of the greatest panned albums in the past 50 years. Someone put a lot of thought and time in the art work, thank you!! 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. Bravo Stones for your thought provoking style and risk you took, cause the next 6 albums are truly your swan songs despite what the critics said about this one. Remember this, No Jones, No Stones! :)

    T.... M....

    Torry Marrs the Mick Taylor era was the best. But this was a great era too. I'll never forget the first time hearing this song/album. Pulled this one out of my dad's collection and put it on. Sounded like nothing I ever heard, as a teen in the 90's. Instantly a favorite, later got my own copy on CD. Heard it both on vinyl and CD many times over the years.

    T.... M....

    @TheRabidPosum No Jones, no Stones

    T.... M....

    @Jair Flores Vega no, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, and Goats Head Soup are better than anything they did with Jones. And they were at their best live during that era. Jones may have started The Stones, but Mick Taylor made them the greatest rock band in the world. Besides Jones was never a songwriter in the band and didn't contribute to the band much at all towards the end of his time in the band. He didn't even show up to the studio half the time and when he did he was too waisted to do anything.

    I love these music videos using their satanic majesties request album cover motif, very clever. And the fact that they have made vids for all the tracks on the album, one of my very favorite albums of all time. However. It's "pictures of us painted in our caves", NOT "pictures of us painted in our place", which doesn't make any sense. Oh well, too late now. Unfortunately, there are similar errors with the lyrics on some of the other song videos as well. But, thankfully, not too many...

    b.... ....

    brutalyzeitgeist Lol No it's Not caves, or place. Pictures of us through the steamy haze, Pictures of us painted in a Maze! Haze rhymes with MAZE! not place, or caves. Plus the LP cover has a Big MAZE inside. Listen to it again.

    I think you are right, and I just read that the maze was designed to be impossible to complete (make it from beginning to end).

    b.... ....

    @A Pa You can complete it when you're 2000 light years from home where the laws of physics are slightly different.

  82. T.... ....

    Stones copying the Beatles, as they did all throughout 1967. Even the song title suggests the Beatles "All Together Now"(A far better song).

    T.... ....

    @Themanwhocameback2 So we should just assume he's lying. That's stupid. Let me guess, Mick Jagger lied because if he said that "We Love You" was influenced by "All You Need Is Love" than he would admit to copying the Beatles and it was beneath him to admit that. I've been reading this silliness ever since I became a Stones fan 40 years ago, and before that I was a big Beatles fan. There is no reason for him to lie. The song "We Love You" is not about peace and love like "All You Need Is Love" is about. It was a song that he wrote thanking all the Stones fans who were sticking by the band while they were going through their drug trial - rather than turn their backs on the band they stuck by them - the songs are about two different things. Your comparison to him saying he doesn't want to be singing "Satisfaction" when he's in his 40's is a pretty bad comparison.

    T.... ....

    @George Rusch Actually Mike Nesmith admitted that it was not true that the Monkees outsold both the Beatles and Stones combined in 1967, that it was something he told an Australian news reporter as a joke.

    T.... ....

    @Robert Weingartner Yeah that story is around too, but I don't think it's quite that simple. If you do more research you'll find a lot of reasoning behind why it "happened" or may have. The Beatles only released 2 Lps Sgt. Pepper, and Magical Mystery Tour but were somewhat in the "Bigger than Jesus" Controversy and they had stopped touring, their sales were down, and MMT was 1 of the Beatles worst lp's. The Stones also put out 2 less than stellar lp's Satanic Majesty, and Between the Buttons, not 2 of their more successful lps The Monkees put out 3 successful lp's in 67, and had the Very Popular Monkees Show going full blast as One Big Record Promoting Commercial. So I don't think it's that far fetched. And I think Nesmith was doing a double reverse joke/Hoax?

    T.... ....

    @McRico H If you bother saying that you do.

    T.... ....

    ​@George Rusch It's not a story, Mike Nesmith said he made it up. It's on YouTube somewhere. It was a podcast interview with Gilbert Godfried and someone else. Mike Nesmith clearly says it was a b.s. story. In 1967 The Beatles may have released two albums, but that's not including the sales of singles. Sgt Pepper stayed at # 1 for several months in the U.S.
