A rock star’s lament; one of the most brilliant pieces of music the Stones have recorded in a long, long time. Charlie’s spare intro, hypnotic and entrancing, then that sultry, mesmerizing guitar riff, dark as night, and then Mick’s stunning vocal performance, as he pours his soul out in a desperate effort to exorcise an anguish and a loneliness that knows no limits. The lyrics, poetic and cutting, evoking distant lands that offer no solace or respite from the pain.
And that spare, gorgeous arrangement ... this is music that really breathes, flowing with an ease and confidence that evokes the Stones at their creative peak. And yet, in its uniqueness, LIND transcends anything they have ever done. Completely unlike the sophomoric filler tracks that hobble ABB, this is mature and heartfelt songwriting of the highest order.
Wish they would do more like this.

Does Mick shoutmumble the word "Bubba!" at one point during this song. That's what I always hear. Just me?

this song brings out a side to Mick I haven't heard since No Use In Cryin'.
