Stewart's music career began in 1962 when he took up busking with a harmonica. In 1963, he joined The Dimensions as a harmonica player and vocalist. In 1964, Stewart joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before moving to the Jeff Beck Group in 1967. Joining Faces in 1969, he also maintained a solo career releasing his debut album that year. Stewart's early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music, and R&B. His third album, 1971's Every Picture Tells a Story, was his breakthrough, topping the charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, as did its ballad "Maggie May". His 1972 follow-up album, Never a Dull Moment, also reached number one in the UK and Australia, while going top three in the US and Canada. Its single, "You Wear It Well", topped the chart in the UK and was a moderate hit elsewhere.
After Stewart had a handful more UK top ten hits, the Faces broke up in 1975. Stewart's next few hit singles were ballads with "Sailing", off the 1975 UK and Australian number-one album, Atlantic Crossing, becoming a hit in the UK and the Netherlands (number one), Germany (number four) and other countries, but barely charting in North America. A Night on the Town (1976), his fifth straight chart-topper in the UK, began a three-album run of going number one or top three in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia with each release. That album's "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" spent almost two months at number one in the US and Canada, and made the top five in other countries. Foot Loose & Fancy Free (1977) contained the hit "You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" as well as the rocker "Hot Legs". Blondes Have More Fun (1978) and its disco-tinged "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" both went to number one in Canada, Australia and the US, with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" also hitting number one in the UK and the top ten in other countries. Stewart's albums regularly hit the upper rungs of the charts in the Netherlands throughout the 70s and in Sweden from 1975 onward.
After a disco and new wave period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Stewart's music turned to a soft rock/middle-of-the-road style, with most of his albums reaching the top ten in the UK, Germany and Sweden, but faring less well in the US. The single "Rhythm of My Heart" was a top five hit in the UK, US and other countries, with its source album, 1991's Vagabond Heart, becoming, at number ten in the US and number two in the UK, his highest-charting album in a decade. In 1993, he collaborated with Bryan Adams and Sting on the power ballad "All for Love", which went to number one in many countries. In the early 2000s, he released a series of successful albums interpreting the Great American Songbook.
In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked him the 17th most successful artist on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists". A Grammy and Brit Award recipient, he was voted at No. 33 in Q Magazine's list of the Top 100 Greatest Singers of all time. As a solo artist, Stewart was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and he was inducted a second time into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Faces.

Rod Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I just got some
I surely got some
The doctor prescribed some
I surely need some
Have to, have to have some, baby
Oh, I just went out and got some
My pockets ain't jinglin' and I'm gettin' fat
You know you can't hide it, I know where it's at
My pockets are as heavy as a chunk of lead
I just got a taste of her meat and veg
I had to have some
Sure did need some
Doctor prescribed some
Had to, had to, had to have some baby
Y'all know I look as if I need some
Oh, I just went out and got some, oh
Yeah
You would not help me when you really could
But right now baby, you can't do me no good
Cause I just got some
Had to, had to, have some
Doctor prescribed some
Had to, had to, had to have some baby
Y'all know I look as if I need some
Oh, I just went out and got some, oh
Yeah
You would not help me when you really could
But right now baby, you can't do me no good
Cause I just got some
Had to, had to, have some
Doctor prescribed some
You all know I look as if I need some
I just got some
Had to had to have some, baby, oh
I just got some
Everybody knows that I need some
The doctor even prescribed me some
Oh, yeah
At face value, the lyrics to Rod Stewart's song "I Just Got Some" appear to be about sexual satisfaction, which is certainly a common theme in popular music. However, a deeper analysis reveals some subtleties and possibly even some social commentary.
The opening lines suggest that those listening to the song may be in need of "some," which could refer to sexual gratification or possibly some other sort of release or relief. However, the next line changes the focus to the singer himself, stating that he "just got some." This could imply that the singer is boasting about his sexual conquests or simply indicating that he has found personal satisfaction in some area of his life.
The next verse contains some interesting puns and wordplay around the idea of monetary wealth and sexual appetite. The singer describes his pockets as "ain't jinglin'," suggesting that he doesn't have much money. Despite this, he boasts that he has found something that is even more valuable than money - a taste of "her meat and veg." This line could be interpreted as a crude reference to sexual activity or perhaps as a metaphor for a deeper emotional or spiritual connection.
The repeated refrain of "had to have some" and "doctor prescribed some" adds another layer to the song's meaning. This could be interpreted as the singer using sexual release as a form of self-medication, possibly to escape from some sort of emotional pain or trauma. This could be seen as a commentary on the way that society often uses sex or other forms of instant gratification to numb or ignore deeper issues.
All in all, "I Just Got Some" is a song that contains some interesting wordplay and possible social commentary beneath its seemingly straightforward surface.

Para ti ❤
Time, - it always will be Time
It has no wings yet it flies
Heartless yet always there to listen..
It sees your sorrows and pains, and all the tears
And celebrates with your joys and laughter
"Be careful because things aren't always what they seem"...
And it never gives a warning!
Sad, that it's not worthy of anyone's trust
Because it recognizes no Boss but God
Unworthy of trust, it may seem, but it never ever lies !
You either break or make it,
"Just like a woman"...
What priceless honesty !

Essa música tocava muito na extinta Rádio FM ARATU aqui em Salvador Bahia Brasil no ano de 1982. 40 anos ficaram para trás... essa versão para a música do Bob Dylan ficou muito bem na voz do Rod Stewart.

Rod covered a lot of Dylan.........but this is by far the best. His voice is untouchable here
