2,000 Light Years From Home Lyrics


2,000 Light Years From Home Song Chart
  • Space exploration was big at the time, and was probably an influence on this song. Pink Floyd was making music with a similar sound.
  • The psychedelic sound reflected the times. It was the summer of love (1967).
  • Mick Jagger got the idea for this while in jail on drug charges.
  • The Stones played this on their Steel Wheels tour in 1989. A show in Atlantic City was broadcast with this song shot in 3D, which viewers could see using those goofy glasses.
  • Various echo effects and drum sounds were added in overdubbing.
  • Brian Jones played the Mellotron, an early synthesizer. He died in 1969 when he drowned in his swimming pool.
  • '90s Psychedelic group The Brian Jonestown Massacre recorded a tribute to the Stones' Psychedelic period (and this song) called Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
