It can be said that at the time Sad Sad Sad marked the Rolling Stones’ return to the arena, driven by a fierce riff showing the Glimmer Twins’ enduring fighting spirit. Mick Jagger, playing electric guitar with Keith Richards, likely crafted the riff. Its lyrics challenge defiance: “Are you ready for the gilded cage/Are you ready for the tears of rage/Come on baby, don’t let them drown you out”
As for Blinded By Love, it’s a heartfelt ballad mixing country-western tones with subtle Hawaiian flavor. Mick Jagger’s lyrics recall famous lovers, portraying the dangers of all-consuming passion. Through these stories, the song cautions that such intense love can divert life’s course, ultimately bringing downfall and personal ruin.
