"Dead Flowers" is a song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the rock band The Rolling Stones, appearing on their 1971 album ''Sticky Fingers''. ==Recording== Recording of "Dead Flowers" began in December 1969 at the Olympic Studios in London. The lyrics to the song are notably dark, and feature the line, "I'll be in my basement room, with a needle and a spoon", a reference to injecting heroin. The song was performed live during the album tours for ''Sticky Fingers'' and ''Exile On Main Street'' in 1970-72, then once during the Black and Blue Tour in 1976. It was not played again until the Steel Wheels Tour in 1989. The song was recently revived by the Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers W/Brad Paisley (Philly) 6-18-13. Brad Paisley accompanied Mick Jagger during a most recent performance of Dead Flowers at LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee during the Zip Code Tour on June 17th, 2015. 〔4. Hudak, J. 18 June 2015. ''Rolling Stone''.

Jagger commented in 2003: "The 'Country' songs we recorded later, like "Dead Flowers" on ''Sticky Fingers'' or "Far Away Eyes" on ''Some Girls'', are slightly different (than our earlier ones). The actual music is played completely straight, but it's me who's not going legit with the whole thing, because I think I'm a blues singer not a country singer - I think it's more suited to Keith's voice than mine." Both Richards and Taylor contribute the 'honky-tonk' style lead guitar lines throughout the album version. Richards' choppier fills act primarily as a response to Jagger's vocal lines during the verses, while Taylor's more fluid licks counteract with the vocals of the chorus. It is Taylor who performs the guitar solo in place of a third verse. A live cut can be found on their 1995 live album ''Stripped''. The recent live version with Brad Paisley in Philly on 6-18-2013 is available on YouTube. The song was also played during a September 2006 concert in Louisville, Kentucky because of the lyric, "making bets on Kentucky Derby Day". The concert was held at Churchill Downs, site of The Kentucky Derby. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dead Flowers (The Rolling Stones song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
