A top ten all-time intro, and a two-parter at that! First one goes from 0:00 - 0:33. Second part is the slower bit from 0:33 - 0:54 when Rod Stewart starts singing. Ronnie Wood on the guitar, showing why he was already in the Stones, he just didn't know it yet. Stay With Me also prominently features sweet keyboard work from the late great Ian McLagan.
The song is basically about the lifestyle of a rock star, the debauchery, the partying, taking a groupie to bed as long as she is prepared to be kicked out in the morning. My favorite line is I know your name is Rita 'Cause your perfume smelling sweeter. I always think, Hey Rod, how do you know that?
The Faces were like The Stones' wild little brothers or cousins. More mischievous and rambunctious, always looking to enjoy a pint or twenty.
