the rolling stones – gomper – stereo edit

Brian Jones played more than eight instruments on this song, so one may say it is a Brian Jones song… Maybe thats why I like it so much… But lets be honest: what starts as a pleasant, smooth song in a mysterious atmosphere is totally messed up by Brians flute. So, an edit with less flute seemed a good idea; I changed the second part of the song into a more mysterious sound. The flute part that is worth while is repeated several times in the last 30 seconds of the clip. Recorded: August 10 – 12, 1967. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Tamboura, slide dulcimer, sarod, sitar, flute, organ, bass, tabla & other percussion: Brian Jones. Acoustic 12 string guitar & backing vocals: Keith Richards. Percussion: Charlie Watts. GOMPER (Jagger, Richards) By the lake with lilly flowers, wallow away the evening hours, to and fro shes gently gliding, on the glassy lake shes riding. She swims to the side, the sun sees her dried, the birds hover high, Id stifle a cry. The birds hover high, she moans with a sigh. ®© UMG
