Edit 3b for headphones, December 2016/March 2024. Dubbed video. Edit to give this wonderful song a deluxe feel. I made this edit also to enjoy the autoharp more. Recorded December 4, 1965. Released in the US on "Flowers", July 1967.
This is a Brian Jones song, because on this song:
Brian Jones played harpsichord;
Brian Jones played autoharp;
Brian Jones played marimba;
Brian Jones played congas;
Brian Jones played piano;
Brian Jones played electric guitars;
Brian Jones sang backing vocals.
Keith Richards: electric guitars and backing vocals.
Lead vocals: Mick Jagger.
Bass: Bill Wyman.
Drums: Charlie Watts.
Brian Jones plays the marimba like a true virtuoso.
What he does here is plain overwhelmingly beautiful, Brian really outshines on the marimba in this song.
I really love this song. It has Brian 'soaked' all over. At the right channel Brian on harpsichord as well as on his Rickenbacker guitar; on the left Brian on autoharp (though Wikipedia says koto). Also on marimbas, congas and piano. Truly an "Aftermath"-sessions song with Brian at his peak. I made this edit to make the bass and the first three of the forementioned instruments better audible. I agree, quite some bass distortion, don't blame me, it is also on the cd... Source file of the edit was on "Flowers" (Japanese mini lp remastered 2006) [uicy-93025].
RIDE ON, BABY
(Jagger/Richards)
a smile on your face
but not in your eyes
you're looking through me
you don't feel it inside
get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I could pick your face out in an FBI file
you may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
ah ah ah
you walk up to me
and try to look shy
the red round your eyes
says that you ain't a child
get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Well I've seen your face in a trashy magazine
you know where you're going
but I don't like the places you've been
ah ah ah
get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I can pick your face out from the front or behind
you may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
ah ah ah
laugh it a bit
give it a try
if I'm not impressed
you can still cry
get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby
by the time your thirty y'gonna look sixty-five
you won't look pretty
and your friends will have kissed you goodbye
ride on, baby
ride on, baby
