I was thinking about this earlier. In any great song catalog a writer will establish patterns. Someone like Frank Zappa often repeated themes on purpose. But most artists I believe abhor this idea. I don't think, or I hope, that Jagger and Keith didn't re-write "Soul Survivor" on purpose in 83.
But there are 'good' parallel songs. I hear "Can you hear the Music" and "Feel on Baby" as sister songs.
Other similar vibes might come from sequencing. I ahve always thought that the Stones love to throw the short, more light hearted song second to last.
From "Factory Girl" to "Break the Spell" to "Dead Flowers". From "All the Way Down" to "Too Tight" to "She So Cold" to "Had it With You".
Anyone else see parallels like this?

This is interesting. I am trying to see the Saint of Me/Sweet Home Chicago connect.

Thanks for taking an interest, Palace Rev! In fact I dreamed that Saint/Chicago tie-in several years ago,
and it's tattooed on my psyche now. Let me see if I can sing it for you ...
"Augustine knew temptation, he loved women, wine and song
And all the special pleasures of doing something wrong
I say yeah - baby don't you want to go
Back to the land of California, to my sweet home Chicago
Now one and one is two, two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded baby - I'm booked I gotta go
I say yeah - oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me"
Something like that anyway! :E
