"Blinded By Love" starts at 6:38
Edit 1d for headphones, February 2015/February 2024.
Usually we take a song's intro * for granted, probably not realizing the intro is one of the major artistic accomplishments in a song; with this edit I try to make that clear. All the Stones intros in this edit are masterpieces. "Blinded By Love" is from the 1989 Rolling Stones album "Steel Wheels" (2009 remaster). I gave it a tender extra bass and some other "extras". A song you wouldn't expect on an album with the title "Steel Wheels"... "Steel Wheels" an album with a sleeve as dull as dull can be, just like the many other albums with that boring tongue logo that keeps coming back, or albums in blue and red. They really need a better artist for that.
This is a song with lyrics warning that love can lead to ruin, mentioning Samson, Marc Anthony and King Edward, all of whom were brought down by the love of a woman. Chris Jagger, Mick's brother, helped with the historical references. He is credited as "literary editor."

BLINDED BY LOVE
(Jagger/Richards)
the queen of the Nile she lay on her throne
and she was drifting downstream on a barge that was burnished with gold
royal purple the sails so sweetly perfumed
and poor Mark Antony's senses were drowned
and his future was doomed
he was blinded by love
the Philistines paid for Samson's blind rage
the secrets that two lovers share should never have been betrayed
he was blinded by love
he was blinded by love
and it's no use crying or weeping
you better lock up your soul for safe keeping
promise me
the poor prince of Wales he gave up his crown
all for the trivial pursuit of a parvenu second-hand lady
so lovers beware if you lose your heart
careful now don't lose your mind
don't mortgage your soul to a stranger
don't be blinded by love
don't be blinded by love
blinded by love
blinded by love

* here is the list of the 44 songs the intros are from:
come on
not fade away
route '66
tell me
carol
it's all over now
confessin' the blues
time is on my side
under the boardwalk
little red rooster
off the hook
the last time
play with fire
(I can't get no) satisfaction
I'm free
get off of my cloud
the singer not the song
as tears go by
blue turns to grey
19th nervous breakdown
lady jane
out of time
take it or leave it
paint it, black
backstreet girl
yesterday's papers
my girl
sittin' on a fence
ride on, baby
we love you
in another land
she's a rainbow
2000 light years from home
jumpin' jack flash
child of the moon
street fighting man
honky tonk women
you can't always get what you want
gimme shelter
love in vain
brown sugar
wild horses
start me up
angie
