Listened a few times earlier when it was first released and liked it, now back home listened full blast w/headphones watching official video...love it!
Keith looks bored singing backup in the video w/hands in pocket though...sort of detached from it all....maybe this is one of the tunes he didn't like much which contributed to delays...
if so, oh well...too bad Keith - it's a damn nice tune!
What are you going on about, Mick said he wrote it with Keith, it's got Keith's sound, it's got Mick's sound, it's the sound of the Stones and its great, Keith asked Mick to put it out, they both like it and want it out there ffs
Just pondering and speculating based on the various things I perceive...
Keith looks withdrawn and lacking enthusiasm in the video (imo),
Many people are saying it sounds like Mick solo, though I wouldn't go that far as it's way better than that (ie this is Stonesy)- again imo.
Anyhow, no big deal...settle down...a new Stones tune is here...enjoy it, I know I am.

I'd be surprised if this was the actual footage of the recording of "Ghost Town" in LA last year, it could just be footage from these sessions (or others) synced to the music. Keith's guitar playing at 1:50 is clearly unrelated. Mick singing the lyrics off his pad in his French chateau is likely more legit ;-)
100% agree, nice shot but not synchronized. Could be a ballad yes Keith is very laid back
Never thought of that (or paid that close attention to video), and it very well could be the case.
Maybe that's one of the reasons Keith appears disconnected to me, That and his hands in his pockets....

Didn’t Keith use hands in pocket during some Exile era shots with Mick also? Such a relevant song that should go well live(hopefully)

Good song. Reminiscent of the Specials' Ghost Town. Did they mean to? Sorry if someone already noticed it.
Yes, I expressed exactly the same sentiments earlier. At least it's not just me, then!

Is this real?
Tomorrow will tell
But my contact is trustworthy. Is not a huge Stones head but knows I am and messaged me with the news that the track is coming tomorrow, he has heard it and has to sign something.
I won’t reveal him but he works in the industry and is based in North America.
I have been friends with him for years and worked with him in radio around 20 years ago

On my third listen to the full song.
Liking it more each time... this song is going to get a lot of play.
"Preachers were all preaching
Charities beseeching
Politicians dealing
Thieves were happy stealing
Widows were all weeping
There’s no beds left for us to sleep in
Always had the feeling
It would all come tumbling down"

"Speaking in more depth about Living In a Ghost Town to Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Jagger said he originally wrote the song in 10 minutes, but made minor rewrites in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
He also sympathised with those suffering: “It’s 20 million people lost their jobs completely for something that’s nothing to do with them at all. And also the less money you have, the more worries you have. So for lots of people, it’s really tough. I mean, I have friends and they live in really small apartments in a big city and they don’t have anywhere to go and they’ve lost their job. I’m very, very lucky and I’m very aware how lucky I am, but not everyone’s as lucky as me.”

This tune bears a remarkable resemblance in parts to the song Rocks by Rod Stewart. Lyrics are quite similar. Wonder if Sir Mick has been listening to Rod the Mod...
