Rolling Stones "Connection"
About "Connection"
"Connection" is a song by the English rock and roll band the Rolling Stones, featured on their 1967 album Between the Buttons. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (but mostly Richards), features vocals by both and is said to be about the long hours the band spent in airports. The lyrics contain much rhyming based on the word connection. The lyrics also reflect the pressures the band was under by 1967:
My bags they get a very close inspection, I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em, They're dying to add me to their collection, And I don't know, If they'll let me go
The song was written before Jagger, Richards and fellow Rolling Stone Brian Jones were arrested by the police for drugs.
Although never released as a single, it has been a popular live song. The song itself is built on a very simple chord progression, a repetitive drum pattern, Chuck Berry-like lead guitar from Richards, the piano of Jack Nitzsche, tambourine and organ pedals by multi-instrumentalist Jones, and bass by Wyman. Jagger, Jones and Wyman later overdubbed handclaps. Jagger said in 1967, "That's me beating my hands on the bass drum."
