What does the song angie by the rolling stones mean ?

Question

I don't understand what the song means..

Answer 1

Okay, here's the dirt behind the song--none of it's been confirmed by Jagger or Bowie, but supposedly 'Angie' (Angela--David Bowie's now ex-wife) walked in on Jagger and Bowie naked, stoned, and in bed together (sleeping, but...)

Anyway, she claims that the song is about her--and how Jagger never forgot her face after she opened the door.  The song is his way of saying he never got over his guilt.

Of course, both Jagger and Bowie deny/refuse to talk about this.

Answer 2

It's a love song Mick Jagger wrote about David Bowie"s first wife,although some say it may have been about Bowie himself.

Answer 3

Angie was Angela (Angie) Bowie, wife of David.

Despite wide-ranging rumors that "Angie" was written by Mick Jagger about a relationship he had with Angela, Jagger denies this.

Keith Richards is credited as writer of the song but "Keef" couldn't find his backside to wipe his bum and that'd be on one of his good days.

Anyhow, you judge for yourself....lol.

Answer 4

They weren't meant to be... but it was beautiful when it happened and while it was happening which meant no one should've been sad afterwards, that's what I get out of it...and this is just an opinion, love the song. Always wondered if Angie wasn't "ruby tuesday in disguise" lol

Answer 5

It is about a doomed romance or relationship... to me it has always been a story about people who were poor and on the outs... sometimes love doesn't conquer all and you realize that one or the both of you you could do better on your own or even with someone else. Sometimes two people meet and it is not the right time for them... the match may be self destructive... not meant to be... Hauntingly beautiful.... One of the Stones very best.

Answer 6

Here's the lyrics:

Angie, angie, when will those clouds all disappear?

Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats

You cant say were satisfied

But angie, angie, you cant say we never tried

Angie, youre beautiful, but aint it time we said good-bye?

Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?

All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke

Let me whisper in your ear:

Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, angie, dont you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet

I hate that sadness in your eyes

But angie, angie, aint it time we said good-bye?

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats

You cant say were satisfied

But angie, I still love you, baby

Everywhere I look I see your eyes

There aint a woman that comes close to you

Come on baby, dry your eyes

But angie, angie, aint it good to be alive?

Angie, angie, they cant say we never tried

I think it's just a break up song...
