Undoubtedly, my beloved Kamilka is my rainbow.
Still, in today’s post (I wrote it on the 13th of February, 2024), I will focus on the song “She’s A Rainbow” by the Rolling Stones. In this song, The Rolling Stones makes a pastiche of The Beatles’ songs in a non-obvious, ambiguous way. As I listened to the song recently, that association came to my mind. Nevertheless, they do it at a masterful level rock-and-rolling level. This level can only be matched by the Beatles themselves, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, or Michael Jackson. Their music is a constant source of inspiration and admiration. I love the music!
It constantly amazes me, and I have no doubts it will amaze me until the end of my life.
I feel my love for the Rolling Stones’ tunes is being revived and refreshed. Undoubtedly, it is Taschen’s album about one of the greatest rock-and-roll bands that refreshed and influenced my love. How happy I am that I still have a hundred of the Rolling Stones’ pieces of music to be discovered, on a similar level as I have a few songs by the Beatles to be known for myself. Does it mean I did not know the “She’s A Rainbow” song earlier? I knew it and liked it. Still, listening to it again, after years of break, with many other Rolling Stones tunes (I think it is only a matter of time before I will write more about some of them), is an energetic pleasure.
Of their pieces of rock-and-roll I did not know before, but I started to admire them, are, for example, “Dancing with Mr. D,” “100 Years Ago,” and “Coming Down Again” (from the “Goats Head Soup”). How happy I am that YouTube’s algorithms recommend such great melodies to me! I will stop writing this text and get back to listening to the “She’s A Rainbow” tune.
