2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME First recorded on October 16, 1967, the song was not meant to be released. But after Brian Jones added the mellotron to it, it was added to and became perhaps the best song on Satanic Majesties. Vocals: Mick Jagger Mellotron & Piano: Brian Jones Bass: Bill Wyman Guitar: Keith Richards Drums: Charlie Watts Percussion: Mick Jagger & Brian Jones 2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME (JaggerRichards) Sun turnin round with graceful motion Were setting off with soft explosion Bound for a star with fiery oceans Its so very lonely, youre a hundred light years from home Freezing red deserts turn to dark Energy here in every part Its so very lonely, youre six hundred light years from home Its so very lonely, youre a thousand light years from home Its so very lonely, youre a thousand light years from home Bell flight fourteen you now can land See you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand Its so very lonely, youre two thousand light years from home Its so very lonely, youre two thousand light years from home
