SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
“…Pleased to meet you,
hope you guess my
name.
But what’s puzzling you,
is the nature of my game ...”
Mick Jagger stretched his songwriting muscle on "Sympathy For The Devil". It remains one of The Rolling Stones' most engaging tracks. Jagger performed the lead vocal, singing from the perspective of the narrator- Satan.
As the verses unfold, Lucifer reveals his hand in various historical moments. These include the Crucifixion, The Crusades, the assassination of the Russian Czar's family, World War II and the death of the Kennedy brothers. The menacing tone lingers for the track's duration. "Sympathy For The Devil" was included on the group's 1968 album 'Beggars Banquet'
