Brian's last memorable contribution as a Rolling Stone, and after all the many exotic instrumental experiments over the years it was finally back to what he originally distinguished himself on when the band was starting out--slide guitar....

Ohhh yeah - those 12 words resonate for me too: some deep deep truth in there

So Brian could have written the melody on slide if you read what Keith and Mick say about Brians contribution. If Keith had the chords and mumbled something before Mick wrote the lyrics, Brian possibly wrote the melody when he added that slide. And Mick sang his lyrics to Brians slide. The meldoy sounds like it's written on slide, it fits the slide playing techinque.

... When the only input we have is "Keith wrote this",
why do people assume it's not Keith who came up with the vocal melody and lyrics?
Just curious.

...The outtake is only available in incomplete form, it fades out on all known bootlegs, to cover this some have added on the officially released version from around the point at which the outtake fades out, it's spliced in at 2:22 on the above youtube clip...

Its greatness is parallel to its simplicity. A great great song without overproduction and without technical skills, and withouth virtuoso things as well.
Simply marvellous.
They have never made a song this simple and this great since then

streets of love was a contender, but ultimately fell just short...

I think the "outtake" version is the basic track, to which percussion and a new bass was added - also remixed.
After the 2.22 point, there is no percussion and the bass (to my ears) is different - so not the official version spliced in...
