This song is rapidly becoming one of my favorites from ABB. Lots of emotion from Mick, without sounding overwrought, which is the bane of much of the so-called soul tunes I hear these days. This is the real deal, and his years of experience pay off here.

after the first listening session, it´s my favourite, too..

sounds overly overwrought to me

Way down in the mix, left channel, only about 7-8 seconds in, their is a slight 'metallic' scrape sound. Anyone else hear it??

Great song

I fell in love with this song, just listening to the live snippets.
CD version is nice and clear, so I can turn up real loud.

Laugh I nearly Died is the "Sister Morphine" of ABBB

Live snippets?What's this all about?

After their rehearsal show on 10th August at Torontos Phoenix show , you could download two 30second live snippets, and firstly listen to some new material. glad thats over, 'cause I like to listen to the CD.

If I am not wrong, AOM is C - Em, then something like G, D, F, C

Laugh is (should be) Bm - G, then E - G.

C

Agreed > SM was already one of my favorites, Laugh is added now!

..and its lyrics remind me of Jaggers wandering spirit....

This one blew me away. The emotions in Mick's vocals make me think that he took away something from singing "That's How Strong My Love Is"---I want to hear this track live.

C

If you´ve got em & C or bm & G it´s the same connection only in another tune / harmonie. I lost the right english word for that... In german "Tonlage"!!

the vocal performance by "The Mick Jagger Quartet" in the chorus is the highlight of the entire album for me
