I've Got A Secret! | The Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers | REACTION/REVIEW 

Dead Flowers is a Jagger-Richards original. Their country songs are brilliant.

The Girl With Far Away Eyes, great country song.

Yes. I love country Stones.

Classic Stones, and love Mick Taylor’s guitar licks inserted throughout the song.

My brother, who is a blues bass player, has said many times the Rolling Stones are the best country band out there....Loved this entire album

Sister Morphine, Shine a Light, Memory Motel and Moonlight Mile

For your collection, MUST HAVE Stones albums are: Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street and the live album - Get Yer Ya Yas Out. I would also include Goats Head Soup, It’s Only Rock and Roll and Some Girls. That list could keep me happy for years (and it has!).

I felt your passion along time ago, "Biz." You can't fake passion. Thanks, and Cheers.

It is a pretty dark song, but upbeat at the same time. This album was pretty much perfect.

This whole album is awesome!

Greatest Rock n Roll band ever 🤘🤘

This was the era when they earned the title of World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band. Great albums chock full of bangers! Great tune.✌️❤️🎶

Pretty sure Dead Flowers is a Jagger/Richards composition

I highly recommend Moonlight Mile which finishes off Sticky Fingers. For those who love the Stones, this is an absolute classic. Very different pace to this song though. By the way you have wonderful taste in music. Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are two of the greatest albums in the history of rock music. In some ways I don't think Sticky Fingers in particular gets its due.

Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile, won’t find 4 better albums in a row like that!

Written by Mick and Keith. This was before Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and the others died of heroin and other drug misadventures. Fellow bandmate Brian Jones had died a year earlier, but he was considered to be somewhat more reckless and fell into a pool, unable to fight his way out.

According to Keith Richards, he was hanging out with Gram Parsons, who was teaching him about country music, and Parsons’ wife sent him flowers by florist service in America. It took 10 days or so for the flowers to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and when they were finally delivered they were dead. Keith and Gram thought it was hilarious and wrote a song about it

Stones never fails! They sang this live when I saw them in the 90s. Fun, is what it 🎉❤

Jagger and Richards wrote Dead Flowers. Loads of people have covered it live including The Black Crowes, Sheryl Crow, BlackBerry Smoke, and Willie Nelson!!

Some friends of mine back in the nineties named their Rolling Stones cover band "Dead Flowers" after this song, which, by the way, is another Jagger-Richards composition. Emmett Tinley recorded a cover version a decade back with an Irish band named The Prayer Boat, from what I gathered poking around the google a bit. Dido is pronounced Dy-doh, as in die or eye. In ancient Greek and Roman legends she was the queen of Tyre who escaped tyranny to found the city of Carthage in North Africa (Tunisia). Hannibal was the general from Carthage who took the fight to Rome when he crossed the Alps with war elephants to attack from the North. He gave the Romans a beat down at the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC, but he ultimately lost the war.

Now you should do Far Away Eyes. “I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran 20 red lights in his honor. Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord” - The Rolling Stones

Stones did capture the Americana country rock blues vibe right down to the very essence of it .

Thanks for the great reaction! I always stay until the end. Thanks for reacting to the soundtrack of my life! ☮️💙😎

Great song

One of my favorite songs by Mick and Keith! Always enjoy your reactions!

This song is so infectious….not sure I really like it..but I’ve been singing it all day

You got it exactly right. This period Stones are MONEY

2019 I went down to Seattle for their concert … they did this one followed by Sweet Virginia…the whole stadium was singing along with them … so much fun . As you’ve been told this is a Jagger/Richards original:) who else writes like this !!??

Biz, you should watch the live version from The Marquee Club in 1971. Mick Taylor's guitar work is amazing. Not to mention it's one of the best examples of Keith, Bill and Charlie being in the "wobbly pocket" with the rhythm

My all time favorite Stones song!

One of many Stone favorites of mine! The Pistoleros/Chimeras from Tempe did a brilliant cover of this! 🎵🎶

Biz, you will have to check out the 1972 live version of this song, which is from their concert film Ladies And Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones.

One of my favorites to strum and sing on my guitar along with Wild Horses

Love me some Country flavored Rolling Stones 🤠

Perfect album. I still have it and the zip still works!

Thanks Biz one of my favs. You get similar vibes from Sweet Virginia, Far away Eyes, and a countrified version of Honky Tonk Woman called Country Honk.

Love your reactions, glad you like the Stones😀

And “Torn and Frayed”

Crazy Mama or Tumbling Dice next ! Black and Blue album

Do 2000 light years from home! It’s really trippy and my fav Rolling Stones song. Cheers.

Great song! I'd listen to Biz sing.

They did an entire album based on a "Country Western" genre theme. Great album, and this is a great song.

Stones go country and are great at it. Sticky Fingers is by far my favorite Stones album and is on my personal top 10 records of all time. Not a weak song on the entire records.

You might like the Some Girls bonus disk.There are several great "country" songs on it No Spare Parts is my favorite

It's such a great album.

I'd say that the style of this song is inspired by the "Bakersfield Sound". Buck Owens. 🤙😎

This song is about the band members being treated like peasants with money by the old money class. Dead flowers is smack or a metaphor for comfort and support, leaving roses on your grave is a metaphor for saying you're eternally grateful for easing my pain with comfort and support. Little Susie might be a shout out to the great song writing team the Boudleaux couple who wrote Wake Up Little Susie.

Let it Bleed please.

Stones is the Stones, still not the Beatles, but almost.

My favorite Rolling Stones song, first heard song by the Good Brothers who's version I like more. great reaction.

SISTER MORPHINE.

I know you're not going to believe this but I was wrong. This is a Jagger/Richards tune. 69 years old and the first time I was wrong😊

You gotta do Sister Morphine

What a jem this is.

Top 3 all time

I get what you're saying about their songs it's funny

Gotta fix that thumbnail. This is the Mick Taylor era. Peak Stones records.

Stones!

Dead flowers is a metaphor for heroin. Keith who was a junkie at the time was a source of inspiration for Jagger's lyriics.

Stones are ragged & raw yet perfectly tight and on point

There's two separate songs called Dead Flowers. This one is by the Stones. Not only did Jagger slash Richards write it, it's probably about the breakup of Mick and girlfriend Marianne Faithful. The weird kinda four way relationship those two had with Keith/Anita Pallenberg provided a while lotta song fodder. Probably a lot of the drama of that is in here.

You need to listen to Townes Van Zandt cover this

Written by Jagger/Richard

The Stones play country better than genuine country artists. And Biz, "Dead Flowers" was definitely written by Jagger and Richards.

Andy Warhol designed the album cover and I still have one with zipper!

Check out Sister Moprphine.

Nice reaction but why would you assume it’s a cover version ? Of course it’s an original Jagger/Richards composition, a simple Google search would have cleared that up for you

It's the best fuck you song ever wriitten.

Do UNDER MY THUMB ALL DOWN THE LINE LIVE MIDNIGHT RAMBLER HAND OF FATE STREERT FIGHTING MAN MIDNIGHT MILE

The Stones did turn out a mess of great albums

Stones wrote this...

Townes Van Zandt wrote this classic
