Angie
Keith Richards/Mick Jagger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried
The song "Angie" by Keith Richards/Mick Jagger is a reflective ballad about the difficulty of maintaining a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of wishful thinking and uncertainty about the future. The song is addressed to Angie, a woman who the singer is in love with but is also struggling to connect with. The repeated question of "Angie, where will it lead us from here?" suggests a deep uncertainty about the future of the relationship and whether it will ultimately work out.
The lyrics further explore the idea that the relationship has lost its passion and meaning, with "no loving in our souls and no money in our coats." Despite this, the singer acknowledges that they have tried their best to make it work. The repeated line "you can't say we're satisfied" implies that the couple is longing for something more in their lives.
The song's chorus is both tender and melancholic, with the singer expressing their love for Angie while acknowledging that it may be time to move on. The final line, "Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried," suggests that despite the uncertainty and difficulty, the singer does not regret their time with Angie.

When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
With no lovin' in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied

Seemed to all go up in smoke

Imagine living in a time where you looked forward to new music from supremely talented musicians- and it delivered or even exceeded your expectations, giving you a musical experience unlike anything you've heard before.
@user-vr1dx6cx2o
Ain't it so @ JeffersonLane 762.
The Stones , Pink Floyd , Skynyrd , Santana and so many more.

Well said. Aye this was a Masterpiece. I was born in 1960. My older sisters were Stones fans. I remember them playing the records from aged 5. I still love the Stones.
