After all these years, through my ups and downs with what once upon a time was my favorite band, I still STILL get goosebumps from this song. It was the first Stones song I remember really paying attention to, around the time I was 16. I was so taken by it, hearing it on the radio -- I saved my pennies to buy the single and then the LP, and a little later, decided to take up acoustic guitar because I wanted to play THAT, I wanted to play this song and sound just like that. I did, and Wild Horses was the first song I learned.
Beyond that, the song, in my opinion, is the truest, most sincere song the Stones ever wrote, maybe the only one with true emotion behind it.

Yes PF`s "Time" surely woke me up one night, to strive to make something of my non yet directional/undecided late teens life, to make a productive something of my future..
And I happen to be fairly stoned on some intense pot at that moment siting in a my car employed as a armed guard guarding a construction site when it came on my 8 track player !!
What a catalyst it was, with it`s words, as it reached into my soul, & shook my very core and woke me up in 1974 to pursue teaching myself audio electronics !!
That moment still remain`s a good mental scar in my brain !!

No
May I ask why you even bother listening? I mean.....isn't that the payoff?

Songs "take me away to that special place", but I s'pose if "happiness" and "serenity" are emotions (rather than feelings??), we're good to go.

And...if the whole world had to listen to OJ's tunes
...there'd be a payoff!
Not roasting him here...well, maybe just a little braising, eh?
All done in good fun.

Great song, maybe even better yet in the version by Gram Parsons with the Flying Burrito Brothers. Parsons and the Stones were hanging around together at that time.

One that always works for me, whether covered by the Walker Brothers or Australia’s great aboriginal singer Jimmy Little or of course the original. And I’m not even religious.

I always felt the Stones should have done more with that country thing Keith was getting into. They more or less dropped it after Exile. If Keith had pursued that line, and Mick had gone in a soul and r&b direction, and they'd left the rock and roll behind, they could have gone on to great things instead of become rock-and-roll parodies.

And let's not forget Glen Campbell's last love song to his wife: "I'm Not Going To Miss You Anymore".
After viewing his past with background footage with family and such, it did break me up when I heard this rendition. And for him to work through the ranks a he did, becoming a #1 singer/songwriter?...he did better than most, leaving a legacy of music and memories.
