The Rolling Stones Song of the Day is Gomper- written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards it is on side 2 of Their Satanic Majesties Request. It is this albums Within You Without You- Indian influenced- although it sounds like a sitar- what Brian Jones is actually playing is an electric dulcimer. The second longest song on the album and the most psychedelic. Again to me at least it sounds better as a stand alone track than it does as part of the album.

I do like “Gomper” but it feels unfinished, but lyrically and musically.
I agree. I like the sound- but more could have been added in I think.
I really like the parts of it where there is singing. They needed to take the instrumental part and make it another cut. The lyric, “the sun sees her dried” is very poetic..
