Rolling Stones, The - The Lantern Lyrics

I still have my copy from the day it was released and it was and still is my favorite Stones album. People used to say that all it was was an answer to Sgt Pepper's. I said BS even though the two records changed the face of Rock.

BEATLES DOESN`T CARE 'BOUT PSYCHEDELIC ROCKS THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF 67

This album is derivative and does not compare to what the Beatles have put out.

Damn, I have to admit, I never realised until today how much of a rip-off of Sgt Pepper this entire album is.

String arrangements on SMR were handled by John Paul Jones. Mick & Keith have both publicly dissed this album. I like the songs, including this one. Cheers!

50 years since Brian passed away... Thanks you for everything!

love the piano, what a bold song!

2:21 3:41 great music I love this song

stones made satanic to wind the beatles up. fed utp with beatles being seen as better they outclassed the beatles peppers album with an album that was seen as one of thier worst.

The Lantern
The Rolling Stones
Album: Singles 1965 - 1967

We, in our present life,
Knew that the stars were right.
If you are the first to go,
You'll leave a sign to let me know,
Tell me so.
Please, carry the lantern lights.

You crossed the sea of night,
Free from the spell of fright
Your cloak it is a spirit shroud.
You'll wake me in my sleeping hours,
Like a cloud.
So, please, carry the lantern high.

Me, in my sorry plight,
You waiting ev'ry night.
My face it turns a deathly pale,
You're talking to me, through your veil,
I hear you wail.
So, please carry the lantern light.

The servants sleep,
The door's are barred.
You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part.
So, please carry the lantern high.

Their Satanic Majesties Request is much better than its reputation.

The Stones were at the top of their game here making genius music. ‘Buttons’ was brilliant, too.

This album is a belter.
Just sooo 1967 I love it.

Nice! Love this album. Here's a rare fingerstyle tribute improvised for solo guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiPTynrJl-o

SONG ABOUT DEATH AND THE ONES THAT GO BEFORE US CARRY THE LIGHT TO LIGHT THE WAY

Such an overlooked album

I've loved this album since 1981. I never knew that these videos for Satanic Majesties existed, so I'm binge-watching the entire album. Every day.

North Quincy T station

I forgot all about this tune. Love it. Whenever Brian Jones was involved, the music had more to it.

Stones did a couple of psychedelic albums, which I think means great for tripping balls out. Aftermath, Between the Buttons, this one, but they were all great to listen to. Solid. Beatles had White Album, Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour. Thought Satanic Majesties Request was about troubadours who wandered through Eurasia, and got turned on, hash, opium, whatever, and that influenced them as they wandered. Because they knew.... you know what I mean?

I like the concept of this record. "Satanic majesties request". And these video are really well done.

Not quite? as dark? as it seems. It is supposed to be a take off on what is on UK Passports "at Her Majesties Request" etc,

Phsycadelic Tone...a love this song i love rolling stones....No Jones No Rolling Stones

Brian was going to start a new Blues based Band when Mick & Keef took them in more of a Rock direction. He was going to call them The Rolling Jones! or The Howling Stones! too mess with MJ & KR

Is this about someone dying?

One of the greatest videos I've seen !!!

In retrospect, a lot of critics and some listeners dismissed "Their Satanic Majesties Request" as psychedelic clap-trap. But the band really captured the essence of the era, and wrapped it all in colorful, if somewhat garish, graphics. But the garishness was part of the whole era, and should be understood as a means of capturing the psychedelic experience of LSD and the whole counter-culture of the time. The album is luscious, colorful, and one of their best. I am glad they returned to their roots with "Beggars Banquet", although at the time (I was 15 years old) I had hoped they would continue and even exceed the psychedelia of "Satanic".

"psychedelic clap-trap"? Who dares say psychedelic clap-trap? I agree with you. This is a great album, and the song somehow brings to mind, for me, The Hermit from the Tarot.

"Did somebody say claptrap?"

-a borderlands fan

In the 1960s the so called music critics compared the Stones album to Sgt Pepper. It’s still sounds brill....

Didn’t Mick Jagger say it wasn’t very good on an interview?

A WORK OF ART...HEART....

This album got bad review bad reviews, due to it's release so close to Sgt. Peppers. I believe that the Stones could play great acid rock. This album is so wrongly hated. Take acid today, and give it a listen. You may just overlook Sgt. Peppers!

Adoro este tema

...tendrìa que haberle sacado una foto al porrrrro... demasiado tarde..ya estoy comiendo mila frìa con limøn y locoto +mashonesaaa

I don’t remember the horns towards the end. But then I about wore out that album many years ago. In 3d

LIAM GALLAGHER/LIFE FOREVER

EINEN FEIND MIT HASSERFÜLLTEM BLICK? NEIN DANKE.

Dat guitar riff after every chorus is fuckin filthy yo

there appears to be no existing information on the track listed songwriter 'robert curtice amos'..... if anyone could share light on this it would be greatly appreciated....!!!

A few lyric sites weirdly have that name credited as the writer, idk why but I’ve seen that before on lyric sites here and there. Mick and Keith wrote it.

For Whom does The Bell Big Ben Toll? It tolled for Thee Brian Jones The 1st To Go RIP

Sorry! The lyrics to this song were written by Robert Curtice Amos Not Jagger , and Richards.

brian jones we love you

This album is great for sure. Like Charlies drumming

so i knew*

この曲や、サタニックのアルバムを聴くと１９８６年１０月、札幌の龍栄荘を思い出す。ジャックがこの世を去って随分と経った。あれは札幌の女子大の大学祭で５曲ほどバンドで演奏したけど、その少し前、ベッシーホールだか、どこかでライブやって北31条の龍栄荘で初ヒットで７色のピラミッドがクルクルしてた！その曲はjimi hendrixのthe3rdstoneFromTheSunだ！peter toshには賛同する。色はともかく、お互いの、その気持ちが大事でしょ？耳かゆい～～～～～～！

why do you like the Lantern song❤

A diaz it was a premonition of Brian's Death.

Every time I hear this album it takes me back to my youth when I had a sexual encounter whilst on magic mushrooms and this was playing downstairs loudly at my friend's house,it was a crazy experience,it was almost dark and I had all these beautiful purple and lilacs and greens shapes scattering around the room plus the feeling of a orgasm with the music was a experience i will always remember lol, strange experience, Great times 😀

Jimi glimmer Too much information dude.

Good for you!

Yeah, too much info pal.

The master Brian Jones on the mellotron, legend! My favorite on the album

Where is the mellotron? I can't pick it up. There is a normal sounding piano in this tune.

@Ophiuchus123456789 The instrument that sounds like a Leslie speaker in the intro, solo moment and outro.

I hate stereo audio

I bought the TSMR album when it came out. It was lousy music except 4 (3) songs: This one, 'Lantern', 'She's a Rainbow' & my favorite, '2000 Light Years from Home'. I did not care 4 the druggy inferences nor their costumes. I liked the guitar & drums of those (3) songs; still do.

Someone's gotta take the Torch........

I wonder if this fantastical , glorious album from the 60's is outselling their last three released albums combined? I have always loved this album (still have the vinyl) and I'm glad to see other people  lovin' it too. Old, new, the Stones were always great!

Robert dzurny you won't believe this but The Monkees actually out sold the beatless, and the stoned combined in 1967, look it up.

never shy to lean toward lyrical dark messaging, their extravagant lifestyle along with potentially deadly drug abuse easily found its way from inside their minds and lives and onto the page for another Stones history lesson. but I love these guys. entirely beautiful and perfectly executed as always!

Blake O'Quinn this is the Only song on this album they didn't write the lyrics to. Robert Curtice Amos wrote the words. But the Stones made it Unique, especially Brian.

The instrumental version of the satanics os far better then the final version

Haha everyone hating on this album, in fact its one of the best

its better than sgt peppers, amazing how lies can be told, to appease the beatles.

I heard it the most

@the liar king true! stones always better than beatles !.

420eme j'aime yeah ! cette musique est une merveille <3

My favorite STONES song, so many different sounds, they were way passed the BEATLES.........

I love the Beatles and the Stones; but as the old saying goes, the Stones were never afraid to tread where the Beatles had gone before.

Just fantastic!

A wonderful video for a very good song.

Less dated than Sgt pepper

Paul Bullen No one was talking about Sgt pepper. Besides, Pepper has hardly dated, aside from Paul’s jazz numbers which were meant to be dated.

Miles H duly noted Leftenant Pepper.

Your comment isn't holding up well. It's very dated

the very best of rs

Just kidding Mick??????????????????????????? I knew this all the time?

THIS ALBUM JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER WITH TIME

Got the lyrics correct on this one!

Doctor FF You're right, but Robert Curtice Amos wrote the lyrics not Mick. I wish they would have been the way I Originally was sure I heard in regards to "You wake me in my sleeping hours like The Flowers!" but it is actually " like a Cloud" I've never been awakened by a cloud? or flowers for that matter. This Song seems like a premonition of Brian's Death? But The Flowers being misheard (if misheard is a word?) is interesting. I told my step brother that Brian would be the first to Die because on their Flowers LP Cover released in June 67, 6 months before this LP in Dec. of 1967, Brian's Stem was the Only one with No leaves. Based on the strength of the leaves of the stems of the other Stones Bill will be next, then Charlie, Mick, and last of all Keith.

TAKE S ME BACK TO PLACES I CAN T REMEBER

johnny wolf things are the same as they never were.

Bella canzone di un bellissimo album, di cui finalmente si sta riconoscendo a posteriori il valore!! A me è sempre piaciuto tantissimo!! 😀👍

Beautiful song.  Always loved the instrumental passages, the cathedral bell, the double guitar intros, it's all great. I've been partial to this lp since it appeared in December of 1967, and my love for it has never wavered. Never could figure out why so many peopled dissed it. Idiots, I guess. I'm glad they're giving the album the treatment it merits on this 50th anniversary. These videos of the album tracks are a dream come true. Except that they screwed up the lyrics a little bit on some of them, unfortunately. Not too sure about this one, either. But nothing major here...

Guitar 💥💣💣💣💥

Great song and video

Tus vídeos son excelentes!!

In brightest day
In blackest night
No evil shall
Escape my sight
Those how stand
For the power of evil
Fear my light
The light of
THE GREEN LANTERN!!!

Jack Rusio amen bro

+محمد احمد you love me that much john...

how? or who?

sgt peppers made everyone get weird haha

I think it was LSD making everyone weird.

The real masterpiece of this era was the Mother's of Invention's "We're Only In It for the Money" .

Rather, it pushed everyone to expand the limits of pop music. Of course LSD and weed had a lot of influence on that. From 1966 (Blonde On Blonde) through the '70's ...a lot of expansion got underway thanks to the mind-expanding drugs.

Drew Theiring waz good dayz when Sarge wuz around...

For me, that accolade goes to the "Roger The Engineer" album released one year earlier

Sounds better than ever after all these years.

🎩
Fantastico!

I'm glad this album is finally getting the attention it deserves. I skipped over it for far too long, believing it was their worst. Big mistake. It's AWESOME.

Many hidden gems in this album

Nice! Love this album. Here's a rare fingerstyle tribute improvised for solo guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiPTynrJl-o

@Ecléctico Iconoclasta You mean after Tattoo You

Disagree. This is such a forced effort trying to follow Beatles sound.

They showed the world how different they were. Love the acoustic guitar in this song
