I've always thought that Anybody Seen My Baby? is the 1990s Emotional Rescue.

There's a guy I know at a karaoke joint - this is true. Every time we're both there he will buy me 2 beers to sing Emotional Rescue. I can think of many, many songs - hell, many more STOENS songs I'd rather sing. But hey - free beer. The guy's not even a huge Stones fan - just can't get enough of that song. Weird.

Oh my God, I LOVE this track with all my heart and soul. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
(1) Starting with his initial thunder-crash at the start, the brilliance of Charlie's drumming throughout.
(2) Ronnie's bass, snaking its way through the track and giving it this remarkable "dub" quality.
(3) Mick's falsetto ... a bracing shock to the system, cutting through the all clutter on the radio airwaves in 1980.
(4) Mick's transition from falsetto to normal register ... the wonderfully drowsy tone of "Yeah, I was dreaming last night..."
(5) Mick's spoken-word part; sheer genius. Keep in mind that this song came out before rap really existed. Is that a Spanish conquistador's accent, Mick?
(6) Bobby Key's indelible sax playing; so greasy and slinky and so perfectly synchronized with Ronnie's bass.
(7) The melody; one of the catchiest the Stones have ever written.
(8) The lyrics; funny, yet deeply soulful, with Mick pining desperately for a woman who thinks she's too good for him.
(9) The production; as with all the songs on the album, the Stones have never sounded better than on ER.
(10) The beat; more infectious than Miss You, more infectious than virtually anything from the disco era.

And 'maybe I'll become a playboy, hang around in gay bars and mooooove.....to the west side of town...'
Its one of favorite Jagger lines but its also kind of mournful too.
All the songs have a kind of sad, resigned quality about them. Lost dreams, love......
Even the outtakes have that quality, like "Think Im Going Mad" - the way Mick sings, 'My hands are shaking....can't even drink a another cup of coffee...'
He sounds defeated and I think this album reflects themes of hopeless love and dreams so perfectly that even Mick is just dragging. People criticize the sort of lacklusterness of this ER but I think that's what gives it that sense of hopelessness. Like you've just lost the love of you life so what's the point?

So Goats HS is about nostalgia and melancholy and ER about hopelessness and despair?
