Background Credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, guitarist Mick Taylor said at the time of its release, "Some of the songs we used (for the album) were pretty old. '100 Years Ago' was one that Mick [Jagger] had written two years ago and which we hadn't really got around to using before."http://timeisonourside.com/SO100Years.html 100 Years Ago 2007 Time Is On Our Side 19 September 2007 The song is described by Tom Maginnis in his review as having a, "wistful air with a country lilt... before making several tempo shifts into a funky, sped-up groove..."https://www.allmusic.com/song/100-years-ago-mt0007786221 100 Years Ago - The Rolling Stones Song Info Maginnis Tom AllMusic 19 September 2006 The song's lyrics see Jagger reflect on aging: Now all my friends is wearing worried smiles, Living out a dream of what they was; Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up? Went out walkin' through the wood the other day; Can't you see the furrows in my forehead? What tender days, we had no secrets hid away; Now it seems about a hundred years ago The song then veers into a distinctive breakdown, slowing considerably before Jagger begins singing a verse in a noticeable drawl (beginning with the lyrics, "Call... Me... Lazybones... Ain't got no time to waste away"), before speeding back-up and turning into a funk jam of sorts. Recording took place at Dynamic Sounds studio in Kingston, Jamaica, in November and December, 1972, with a final mix conducted in June 1973. Jagger performs lead vocals and is accompanied by Taylor on backing. Taylor performs the song's guitars while Keith Richards and Charlie Watts perform bass and drums, respectively. Nicky Hopkins provides piano while Billy Preston performs clavinet.http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/1973.htm 100 Years Ago The Complete Works of the Rolling Stones Database 9 September 2011 Live performances "100 Years Ago" was only played on the first two performances of European Tour of 1973, and has not been performed live since.100 Years Ago by The Rolling Stones song statistics setlist.fm https://www.setlist.fm/song/the-rolling-stones/100-years-ago-63d6ba2f.html 2025-01-10 www.setlist.fm Personnel The Rolling Stones Mick Jagger – lead vocals Keith Richards – bass guitar Mick Taylor – electric guitars Charlie Watts – drums Additional personnel Nicky Hopkins – piano Billy Preston – clavinet References External links Complete official lyrics Category:The Rolling Stones songs Category:1973 songs Category:Songs written by Jagger–Richards Category:Song recordings produced by Jimmy Miller
