Reminds me a bit of Heaven from Tattoo You.
Also sounds a lot like some of Keiths solo stuff.

Scratch that I'm listening to a link that's obviously the wrong song, it's instrumental lol.

A little bit optimistic lyrics.

Great to hear a new stones song I like it a lot.

Nate

Really hits the vibe of the present moment. And it does remind me a bit of the Specials classic.

However much you try to shoehorn him in, that line is "trumpets were all screaming" and is nothing to do with Donald!

It reminds me of the STONES!


Mick Keith Charlie Ronnie


Groovin away!

Love it!

I am hearing hints of so many things, I need to listen over and over.

Not so bad.
Two things I don't like : the unbearable and uninspired choirs and sorry, Mick who overacts, seems to listen to himself sing. If Keith has contributed for 10% to the composition, it's quite already good.

For me, and whatever Mick tells in RS interview (he us so modest and humble here, impressive ), it's his song.

Is it me or is there a weird little timing "hiccup" at the very beginning at 0:01 ? Just before the descending guitar notes "borrowed" from Freddy Mercury's "Living on my own" ;-)

Not sure who's playing on there but I'll be so bold as to say that the production/musicianship is better on this than anything on ABB, which is not saying a lot of course.

What does he sing at 1:18 : "Trump (?) is _____ screaming" ?

Gotta love the "Life was so beautiful than we all got locked down" at 00:50
or "If I wanna party, it's a party of one" at 3:46

Maybe Trump is heard a screaming ?

Would make sense, can't quite hear that though, "Trump's world is a screaming" ? Hum, nope

Trumpets were all screaming

That's it, well done !

With headphones you also hear these weird "pings"/"echoes" starting at 0:18, lots of ear candy ;-)

Hairball
Have listened a few times now on Spotify and youtube....
Lyrically...maybe leaves a bit to be desired. The vocals are pretty good, but do I detect some autotune? Nothing wrong with that, but...I love Mick's wailing harmonica part.
Musically, I'm digging the grooves...nice guitars-Stonesy vibe throughout...and Charlie keeping it real...my head keeps involuntarily nodding to the groove and the beat which is a good sign...

Wirth respect to back ground vocals - instead of singing OH OH OOOH; maybe oooo, oooo,,, Boooooo (softly) - Again this has a VooDoo Lounge feel. Also the guitars could be a tab bit up front- In all Much better - and promising. The harmonica in background is we appreciated - could come out more as well.

I feel so good right now... I feel like dancing, even if I'm the ugliest dancer in the world. The Stones saved my life once more... Coming to our Emotional rescue in those hours of needs! Open the windows! Make it blast everywhere! This Record Should Be Play Loud! @#$%& Loud! Life's maybe a Ghost Town but we're Living!

I'm reading you all since 5:30 in the morning! What a great place to be! Thanks to DeathGod and all of you for spreading the News! We heard it first on IORR! I've Smoked my last joint but I don't give a damn: The Stones are Here!!!

Am, Dm, Am, E7...I can see Mick standing there with his Strat...jamming away in to the dark skies of LA...

Oh, we needed this! So far, liking it. Going to put on the headphones and put it on repeat later, try to soak it in. Thank you, Stones! You are much missed. Happy, happy, happy!

When Mick says in that interview:

"I’m very hard on myself. If I write something or if I write something with Keith Richards or whatever, it’s going to be great. It can’t just be good".


Honestly, when was the last time Mick (either solo or with the Stones) released anything original that could truly be considered "great"?
Does he actually think everything he writes is truly great? Yeah, he's very modest and humble lol....

Is this new tune "great"? No, not really by definition, but it's a pretty darn good tune considering the circumstances, their age, and the amount of time it's been since they've released anything original.

Anyhow, thanks to the Stones for adding a bit of spice to the current crisis, they could have just remained silent until the album was completed which could have been several years from now.
Maybe now we'll hear more from them sooner rather than later - hope so.

I know some of the lyrics have been changed but it’s weird how this was written last year.

Nate

Reminds me of a Scoobie Doo tune as they approach a haunted house. Living in a ghost town that's a telling and simplistic lyric, TRUMPets screamed, yeah that may be Trump reference. Though I'd never think of Trump screaming. maybe seething.

Just listening. Great. Thanks, Stones!

Don’t know why Keith wants us to say ‘stave’ in that video on instagram and facebook.

What a happy event!! Thank you Mick, Keef, Ronnie and Charlie!!!

It is always good to see that the Stones still exist. I only listened to the song once and the first impression was positive.
But still it was a great surprise!

Good song.

Welcome back!

Now: [youtu.be]

Sounds great, totally original by the sound of it, doesn't particularly sound like anything they have done before, well done Mick, well done boys, now i really want the new album if it ever gets finished.
Pity they didn't give any visual aspect to this, maybe to follow hopefully.

Sighunt gives this a solid thumbs up!

Not impressed on the first listen. Maybe it needs to grow on me.

Cool official video just released as well! Interesting to see all those shots of the empty streets in my home town. Love the shots of Mick singing the new lyrics from his iPad.

Thank you Rolling Stones for putting the biggest smile on my face since lockdown began!!
