I’ve tended to like the softer side of the Rolling Stones, like this video of “Lady Jane.” The competition with the Beatles was very real in those days. I seem to remember that this was their answer to the Beatles’ “Yesterday.” I’m not postitive what the plucked instrument is, but it looks like an electric dulcimer, I had incorrectly assumed it was a sitar. That instrument is played by the late Brian Jones, the Stones first lead guitar player. Check out the haircut. I love how he bobs his head, I guess for vibrato’s sake. And the out of control screams of the adoring fans.
My sweet lady jane
When I see you again
Your servant am i
And will humbly remain
Just heed this plea my love
On bended knees my love
I pledge myself to lady jane
My dear lady anne
Ive done what I can
I must take my leave
For promised I am
This play is run my love
Your time has come my love
Ive pledged my troth to lady jane
Oh my sweet marie
I wait at your ease
The sands have run out
For your lady and me
Wedlock is nigh my love
Her stations right my love
Life is secure with lady jane
