Angie
Rolling Stones [www.musikaki.blogspot.com] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Angie, Angie
When will those clouds all disappear?
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, yeah
But ain't it time we said goodbye?

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

Let me whisper in your ear
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 goodbye, yeah?

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
Everywhere 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

Overall Meaning

The Rolling Stones song "Angie" tells the story of a failed love affair between two people who are no longer happy together. The song opens with the singer addressing Angie, questioning when the clouds will disappear, and where it will lead them from here. The clouds signify the troubles in their relationship, while the unclear direction represents their uncertainty about their future together. The lyrics suggest that there's no love left between them and that their hopes and dreams have all gone up in smoke.


The chorus repeats the name "Angie" twice, followed by the statement that they tried. This repetition suggests their efforts to keep their love alive but failed. Mick Jagger's delivery of the song is sensitive and heartfelt, making the listener feel the pain behind the words. The song's ultimate message, though, is that while their relationship has ended, they will always carry the memories and the joy that they once shared.

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.

@Occident.

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.
