Anyone who has fallen into the arms of Morpheus (Dilaudid, Demerol et al) can relate to the pain in Marianne's voice, "Things are not quite what they seem". Brilliant performance by a talent who has been and is greatly underappreciated. Love you, Sister M.
Hydromorphone and petidine . Not quite pure morphine. Zomorph and Sevredol are pure stuff... Just an correction. Dilaudid is stronger thou and the king of pharmaceutical opioids/opiates. Then there is fentanyl obviously. But high grade heroin is where it's at thou. Terrible shite in the end. Takes your soul
My God what a moving experience. Just listening to the Stones version and that is powerful. This is raw emotion. Her voice is so iconic. Nothing like that heard today.
Good lord, this is stunning, the vocals and the arrangement -- more than a song in a set, it's a complete experience. Maryanne Faithful is the real deal -- and she's looked into the heart of darkness. I'm glad she lived to tell the tale.
Marianne, you have influenced me so much -- your courage, your strength, your songs -- you never gave up. Anyone who has been addicted or obsessed can truly relate to this song and the power behind it. Bien
This song makes me sad and happy at the same time. I've seen faces that I didn't really see, nor did I know where I was. I love you, Marianne. You made me cry and I've learned to cry when i should smile and smile when I should cry. Does that make sense? If not, it doesn't matter, some of you might get it.
She learned something from the Stones when she arranged this, the moderate tempo of the song barely changes even as the intensity of the horns, keyboards and guitars increases. She makes the trip seem inviting and hauntingly scary at the same time, which is the way heroin works.
Absolutely riveting! What a haunting presentation, straight from the heart. Back in 2005, I broke my neck and my pelvis, and had my urethra ripped from my bladder. The military surgeons at BAMC in San Antonio did an AWESOME job putting me back together. While I was in the hospital, I was administered morphine to kill the intense pain I experienced. I am here to tell you, this song is SPOT ON as to what I endured with this insidious drug! I PRAY for any individual addicted to this evil and treacherous drug. I truly believe morphine was created by Lucifer himself, in the darkest corner of his hell. A couple of quick examples of what happened to me, while on this drug: My sister had brought me a balloon and placed it at the foot of my hospital bed. After my family left and I lay there in that room alone, that balloon became an evil clown and he began to dance around my bed and mock me. When my family arrived the next day, I asked them to put that son-of-a-bitch in the closet. One day, as I was trying to watch TV news, the show suddenly turned into pornography, out of nowhere. It was unreal how this morphine cracked open my skull and pissed down my throat. Nighttime was the worst. Hospitals are probably the worst place to try and get some sleep. The nightmares I experience were EVIL and SICK. And they were relentless. I finally asked the saw bones to just stop with the morphine treatments and let me just lay there in pain. That was better than the hallucinations and nightmares. "Sister Morphine" was always one of my favorite tunes from the Stones and "Sticky Fingers" has always been my favorite album. (mainly because of Mick Taylor) But after 2005, this song REALLY hit home for me! I know that morphine plays a key and vital role on the battlefield. But God, please bless anyone addicted to this horrible, ruthless drug.
Amen to that. I had 36 hours of morphine injections after a back operation, and I fought long and hard to have it back when they took it away. How anyone gets free if they have their own source beggars belief. In the worst pain I've experienced it brought me joy and warmth and happiness. When later I was embarrassed about how much I fought for it the nurse grinned and said "Every time, that's why it's 36 hours". My love for anyone stuck on it, and my unbounded wonder and admiration for anyone who has freed themselves
It gives me the feeling you were on LSD instead of morphine. Have been addicted to heroin for 25 years and now sober for over 27 yrs, these things never happened to me. No hallucinations or porn shows in my head, but warmth and satisfaction and indifference to all the sadness and pain I felt. But also indifference to the world around me, to my friends and family. That ripped me apart for a long time. So glad I kicked the habit, but even after all these years, I can still feel the cravings sometimes.
Wow what a beautiful song, beautiful voice, music, arrangements and what a great ending with the trumpet. The whole song put me in tears. Thank you so much. LOL
Marianne doesn't need to shake her booty to grab your full attention. She just brings the passion and a super tight band to accompany her voice. Good stuff.
This lady has lived an incredible life. You have to be courageous, determined, and especially strong to overcome the temptations this world can throw at you. When I get to feeling empty or useless I go to Marianne's music and somehow after just a few songs, I do feel better. I've always admired Marianne for her chosen path, and overcoming it. I always will.
I My first time hearing this. I don’t know how I missed most of her music. I or 2 hits (songs) during my childhood. I figured one hit wonder. I was so wrong. I found Broken English by happenstance! I don’t care what propaganda she remembers from rehab. Please don’t leave the room! 1 dose of pain is greater than all the flowers in all the world. What an artist! She has captured agony. Then poured it on the floor! Then had the guts to not clean it up! I hope she made recordings that have been hidden in her basement. That will be released any day now! All 12 sky gods have given her a pass to live every minute exactly as she has always wanted. Borrowed time is as good as eternal bliss.
I was one of Marianne's fans when I was a teenager back in to 60s. Cut to the late 70s and me driving down the freeway from Isla Vista to Santa Barbara when I heard Broken English on my car radio. That made me so happy...
A very sorrow felt song can hear the pain and am so glad Marianne your strength pulled all you here today still I love the song such raw emoitons @ love it Marianne Lucy
Such a beautiful voice,thanks for all of the great songs,u are a sensation, so so lovely, would love to meet you some day,maybe in another place ,thanks again ,just love your voice ,so under rated
This song sung by Marianne Faithfull sounds real full of drama, like cinema verité, excellent performance, excellence arranjaments. Beautiful artist, Mariane.
I may be wrong- but I think opiates seem to feel like a warm escape from one's own inner psychic pain.Addiction to it is so sad because it locks away the pain giving one the FIRM BELIEF that addiction is the huge problem.In fact- my problems began to take form age 3 or age 8 .Its the dominance of parents & adults over soft & gentle children who begin to mould the child to crush the heart, yes! One's very loving gentle heart is stifled and crushed, so school is a place where I opened my heart like a flower to the sun.I smiled.I felt joy & safety in my beloved comrades: my common ground was felt with the other school kids.Now I am 65 & I have assurance within that my child self is finding refuge in playfulness & self discovery and pride.Ditching guilt is essential for survival.Heroin addiction weaved a waxed cocoon around me.Then outsiders wag their finger saying ' you're bad'.Oh no, its struggling to live without love, without self acceptance which is bad.Dont blame addicts.Know that b4 the addiction began, there was hidden rejection and stern criticism from family.Let go of family and their ways can be transcended by understanding them
For my *deceased **_FRIENDS_* that turned me on to this version. About 5-6 years ago. Arnaya was sick & she didnt talk to me much........She committed assisted suicide from dying _probably of CANCER but she never SAID. Her mate=told us all-very few, then committed suicide a few days later. I miss them. *they were my 1st 5 *friends* under this I.D! *RIP ARNYA & GREGG* from "over the pond" miss your *truth* and realness+ regena
Moving...my friend June,meet her in goa in the seventies,just told me she got an inescapable illness,and few days after that her man told me that she goes by choice...I miss her,her sensivity for things out of our realm,and for the few second writing this message she was with me!😁
I wish this came out on DVD as I'm afriad to play my VHS copy now. Apparenlty the footage was lost. This is absolutely a mesmerising show by her. CLASSIC!
@@sukie584 Yes, I think it was 1980. I remember she looked over (possibly to introduce a bandmate) to her left then right and got mixed up for a second. It was a funny moment and completely understand how that can happen.
When I was run over by a car and fractured my spine 18 months ago and almost died they kept me in a hospital bed for a month on my back and on morphine. This is one of the songs that pulled me through.
I know about the direct experience all to well I had a one sided love affair sister morphine and I loved her so much anf she didn't give a shot anout me. She almost killed me many times I finally woke up to the fact that I was in a love hate relationship. I found the courage to walk away and face my demons and have not looked back it is no easy thing to do.
It is an impossible task for me now.I had a success 2 decades ago,7years dry of any thing,but after countless withdrawals,sufferings,etc,I decided to live with sister morphine and cousin heroin as long as my life will carry me in this life .. It is a challenge to stay financially afloat,to stay in good appaerance,and to manage the minimum amount of it to function normally .At 66,nearly all my friends departed this plan of existence sadly...
I've heard about her as jagger's girl , i seen her on stones rock circus. But i had no clue how good she is as an artist .i am starting to realize that all artist steal from others .
14052020 thu Flawless + Priceless = Perpetual. I don't think any singer in 2020 would dare try singing this song. The band is unmatched + unparalleled.
TOM, No there are no female singers that could pull this off as it takes the kind of feel of having lived with addiction as Marianne has to understand what she goes through to get through this song . Today's LA DE DA female singers could not touch this piece of lyrical genius. She has lived it & even in 1969 she had that feel . The song is more about the poor guy dying from an accident & pleading for Morphine to ease his agony than being addicted from your own desire for it. We pray that Marianne will survive her fight with Covid 19 & as one tough lady she has the will to win, especially after all she has been through in her life.
When this video was taken, she hadn't been included as a co-writer. I do wish after it was settled, Keith Richards and Ry Cooder recorded it with her, but love this version.
I thought my 'heavy' drug days were over but going through a lot of shit and just choked back a couple percocet and playing this beautiful song over and over. Haven't touched Percs in 5 years until today
The images that I get from this Stones album are so beautiful and so mysterious . It has that surrealistic feeling of being under the influence . I call it The Stones drug album . Moonlight Mile is also very beautiful . This is the first time I hear that Marianne wrote this. Is she credited on the Stones album ???
No she was not. The original UK Decca single credited Faithfull as a co-writer,[ but when London Records issued the single in the United States, her name was omitted, as it was from the Sticky Fingers. After a legal battle Faithfull retained her rights as a co-author, acknowledged by the 1994 Virgin Records reissue of the Stones' album.
Well, except in this case where the lyrics are by Jagger & Richards. She came up with the line “sister cocaine”, but Mick and Keith had most of the song written at that point. At that time, Marianne was pretty heavy into cocaine (amongst everything else). Sadly, she had to fight for any writing credits for the song though, finally winning co-writing credit (with Jagger & Richards) in 1998. Odd fact, she has said that while she wasn’t given those writing credits, it was Keith Richards, (& NOT Mick) who made sure she was paid royalties for it all of those years before she won her battle. I’ve always loved the Stones, but the older I get and the more I read about Mick, the more I believe he was and is an asshole! Seems like there are MANY good reasons why Keith doesn’t like him anymore either! Mick was certainly an asshole to Marianne! (And she certainly wasn’t the last woman he was an asshole to either!).
@@ricktaylor14001 The Stones did the same thing to your cousin, Mick Taylor. He was not given writing credits on SEVERAL songs, starting with his first album with the band, "Sticky Fingers." Greatest mistake the Rolling Stones made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK to keep Mick Taylor in the band. In addition to not paying him, his mates should have gotten him the help he needed for his addiction. They did not. I also have always loved the Stones, but I agree with you 100%, the more I learn about Mick Jagger, the more I believe he is/was an asshole. (and before everyone starts asking you if Mick Taylor is your cousin, I was fooling around-- I don't know if he is)
Excellent point at about 2:45. "Why Does the Doctor Have No Face?" (have asked myself this very question many times!) Doctor: Do you have any questions? Me: Why don't you have a face.
I like Marianne Faithful. I was on a Morphine drip for 21 days in order to contain hi g h blood pressure while awaiting delivery of my baby. This angst, & darkness as expressed in her performance, I do not recall. I was in a safe, calm place on the drip,knowing Morphine doesn't cross the blood brain barrier to the unborn. Felt I wanted to share this

She lived it. The seventies was her lost decade due to heroin addiction. Her comeback was Broken English 1979.
Hydromorphone and petidine . Not quite pure morphine. Zomorph and Sevredol are pure stuff... Just an correction. Dilaudid is stronger thou and the king of pharmaceutical opioids/opiates.

My God what a moving experience. Just listening to the Stones version and that is powerful. This is raw emotion. Her voice is so iconic. Nothing like that heard today.
better aged and I believe she is still going. Great woman!!!!
This performance is jazz, not rock. Marianne transformed the song entirely. It's fabulous.
her music is more powerfull
she doesnt sing it, she owns it.
Just did a knee surgery, and the nurse gave me morphine, my father who stood by my side, was signing this beautiful song! Thank you my father!

I’m obsessed with this performance. I have to watch/listen at least once a day. Gives me chills. Brilliant.
Broken english one of the best albums ever. she is truly a gem.
I knew she was special when she released "As Tears Go By."
This is not on Broken English
A Goddess! Such a seminal album.
@@cunobelinusX31 obviously, and he didn’t imply it was. It’s an “also...” comment.
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. IT SMASHING ROCKS,
I get emotional
Agree!
This song makes me sad and happy at the same time. I've seen faces that I didn't really see, nor did I know where I was. I love you, Marianne. You made me cry and I've learned to cry when i should smile and smile when I should cry. Does that make sense? If not, it doesn't matter, some of you might get it.
This is the best version I’ve ever heard. This is the real deal.
Wow what a powerful performance. This woman is fantastic.

This is by far a soulful sound( most moving) . Excellent! Also love the Stones as well when they did it.She lived it..the experience.☮💞

I was a minor fan until I saw her in Melbourne 25 years ago doing the Songs of the Weimar Republic. Then I was a rusted on fan.
A very sorrow felt song can hear the pain and am so glad Marianne your strength pulled all you here today still I love the song such raw emoitons @ love it Marianne Lucy
I saw her in concert for the first time inSydney in 1988 or 1989.
One of the best and memorable concert I must add.
Incredible and breathtakingly brilliant performance of this poignant composition. I saw her live once. I’ll NEVER FORGET IT!! Love you Marianne
So much emotions in her singing beats any version Ive heard !
Thank you Marianne Faithfull : ) We love you : )
Yes Thankyou Marrianne
Honest and Faithfull
I use to run many miles a day...and this was a song that I could start my run with...and go the last 4 miles with...WOW!

Marianne is a goddess in my world.............
Yep, mine also. Peace.
join the club, she plays god(dess) in the Ab Fab series, not a coincidence me thinks! What a woman!
I've heard about her as jagger's girl , i seen her on stones rock circus. But i had no clue how good she is as an artist .i am starting to realize that all artist steal from others .
A voice and delivery like no other.
Love this girl, wish I grew up with her.
Fascinating! Much more emotional than the Stones, but I guess - as she says - it's her experience. Bravo!
LADY MARIANNE YOU WILL BE ALWAYS IN MY HEART. 💞
Yes, this singer is real. She lived and wrote it.
👍😔A clever and interesting artist. A legend, too.

Looks like Dr. John on the piano?
I remember giving her roses up on stage..in Toronto the diamond club 1990 i think…she played 2 nites. Went to both..
Mon dieu que d emotions que de souvenirs qui reviennent
I really love this song🖤
Somos fãs dos Stones no Brasil e todos amamos Marianne e suas canções!
Her "Broken English" album is a masterpiece.
Incredible performance....brilliant
get well soon, please ❤️
Get well soon Marianne ❤love you.
Love this song,great *
I thought my 'heavy' drug days were over but going through a lot of shit and just choked back a couple percocet and playing this beautiful song over and over. Haven't touched Percs in 5 years until today
I just loved her voice ❤
This is a great song
Love you !! Get well soon please 🙏🏾🥺
My wife spoke to her yesterday - she is making steady progress.
Mark Marshall Great News !! Thank you 🙏🏾
Марианна красотка, с шикарным голосом!!!👍💕🌹
For Marianne,
Song of Life
I am the waking caress of feathered song,
Heralding new life returned in the fresh of today,
I am granite torn from the crucifix of earth’s womb,
Rent from the silence of a million years,
I am the healing energies of ancient oaks,
Grown for me, and earthed for you.
I am morphine’s last goodbye ... invisible tears cursing
Flesh and blood consumed by life’s speeding war,
I am the akashic record of the minutiae of life and death,
Holy weave within the turn of life’s rebirth.
I am dull, I am dazzling, I am young, I am old,
I am every love kissed, and every heart scorned,
I am pain transmuted into love, into joy,
Layered through life into dimensions unseen,
I am heaven, I am hell, carried in you, carried in me,
The arc of my wings encompassing more than this turn.
I am a message beyond bible, church or creed,
Beyond now, will be, was, and ever is,
Beyond group soul’s observations inside out,
Hand forged in eternity’s revolving circle of joy.
I am the pendulum of life,
Uncentered, yet centered in the still of deep gold,
Eternity’s clock, running in, running out,
Virgin and open in the third of each heart,
Beyond the song of that chamber or its verse.
I am earth, wind, moon, distant fire in the stars,
I am the death of everything that grows,
And the birth of everything that repeatedly dies.
***

She's still FAITHFULL
What a nice trumpet at 8:17. This is my instrument. Congrats!
music so beautiful, contrasts with the horribleness of words
The images that I get from this Stones album are so beautiful and so mysterious . It has that surrealistic feeling of being under the influence . I call it The Stones drug album . Moonlight Mile is also very beautiful . This is the first time I hear that Marianne wrote this. Is she credited on the Stones album ???
No she was not. The original UK Decca single credited Faithfull as a co-writer,[ but when London Records issued the single in the United States, her name was omitted, as it was from the Sticky Fingers. After a legal battle Faithfull retained her rights as a co-author, acknowledged by the 1994 Virgin Records reissue of the Stones' album.
mick stole this song from her - she wrote it and got nothing
She had to go to court to get credit and royalties.
I'm so pissed this whole concert wasn't released on DVD. See Doctor John on piano.
It's on VHS. I've almost worn mine out.
What a girl, what a woman, that don't make 'em like that anymore, do they?
No, they do not...
love of my life - blessings and love from South africa
nobody does lyrics like Marianne!
Well, except in this case where the lyrics are by Jagger & Richards. She came up with the line “sister cocaine”, but Mick and Keith had most of the song written at that point. At that time, Marianne was pretty heavy into cocaine (amongst everything else). Sadly, she had to fight for any writing credits for the song though, finally winning co-writing credit (with Jagger & Richards) in 1998. Odd fact, she has said that while she wasn’t given those writing credits, it was Keith Richards, (& NOT Mick) who made sure she was paid royalties for it all of those years before she won her battle. I’ve always loved the Stones, but the older I get and the more I read about Mick, the more I believe he was and is an asshole! Seems like there are MANY good reasons why Keith doesn’t like him anymore either! Mick was certainly an asshole to Marianne! (And she certainly wasn’t the last woman he was an asshole to either!).
@@ricktaylor14001 The Stones did the same thing to your cousin, Mick Taylor. He was not given writing credits on SEVERAL songs, starting with his first album with the band, "Sticky Fingers."
Greatest mistake the Rolling Stones made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK to keep Mick Taylor in the band. In addition to not paying him, his mates should have gotten him the help he needed for his addiction.
They did not.
I also have always loved the Stones, but I agree with you 100%, the more I learn about Mick Jagger, the more I believe he is/was an asshole. (and before everyone starts asking you if Mick Taylor is your cousin, I was fooling around-- I don't know if he is)
A great voice with tragedy in melody in human right. Sorry for my bad english. Its too good . Big culture in english !

Excellent point at about 2:45. "Why Does the Doctor Have No Face?"
(have asked myself this very question many times!)
Doctor: Do you have any questions?
Me: Why don't you have a face.
Uff... Excellent!
That's where you're wrong.... It belongs to the world now, and to all of us who have suffered. ❤️

I like Marianne Faithful. I was on a Morphine drip for 21 days in order to contain hi g h blood pressure while awaiting delivery of my baby.
This angst, & darkness as expressed in her performance, I do not recall. I was in a safe, calm place on the drip,knowing Morphine doesn't cross the blood brain barrier to the unborn. Felt I wanted to share this
Who told you that?😢❤
Is this The Doctor on Piano?
Fantastic singer.
Love her so
awsome job for the junki song
Big song I like thank you
