I’m approaching 60 in 2 years so I don’t understand streaming, sales etc. I know it’s number one on ITunes so is this actually going to be a bonafide hit in the USA? They haven’t had a top 10 single since Mixed Emotions.
There is a contradiction in what you write, because OOC is often played live at concerts.Quote

Good to see you back!
Why would it be impossible to play this one live? IMO, it will be a belter on stage.
Thanks, Dandy. I hope you are doing fine. I don't know. Maybe the tentative way the songs starts. Feels more like a mood song than anything else. And the choruses.
The song reminds me of OOC in a way. Not my cup of tea really. But I'm not the only ship adrift on this ocean...

As for the auto-tune I'm struggling to hear it and in any case really not distracting unless someone can point me to a part where it is ? Yeah sure Mick's voice in not sraight fom mic to desk but that's been done for years, even on B&L.

Curious to see if there will ever be a list, in order, of the cities in the video.

I guess the litmus test is which song in the touring set would I be willing to give up to get this one in...
JJF, No
SFTD, No
MR, No
BS, No
GS, No
And so on.
Next question, would it win a fan vote for a show? Pick from...
UMT
Bitch
Monkey Man
or Living in a Ghost Town
I doubt it wins the poll, even if it were more familiar.
So, it's a nice tune, some catchy stuff. Love Charlie's sound, well produced.
It's great to get a new Stones tune, but if I've got a 19 live set song set, I'll vote for Monkey Man and be grateful for the warhorses.

Only critique is the tongue image, c'mon a tongue covered by a mask is obvious or at least gray black/tone. I don't get the rehash of burnt orange. Maybe a tongue with a thermometer.
I actually love the "burnt orange" color ... but a tongue covered by a mask, that would have been hilarious!
The tongue covered by a mask would be totally horrible in these times.

You know another covid crisis song by any other leading artist published in march or april 2020 ?
Paint it Black doesn't seem like the most positive song, not to mention Doom And Gloom or Wild Horses. Actually the Stones have never written many positive songs ...Quote

Living In A Ghost Town will never be played live I think. In any case they’ll not be able to play it until we get the countries opened up again, by which time people will be even more sick of corona virus and lockdowns. I don’t think many will want to hear a song that’s so angst ridden. When we’re free again, people want positive music that reminds them of being together, so they can feel each other again.
Living In A Ghost Town fits very well right this moment. When The Stones can unleash themselves again, the song will be obsolete. It’s still a great song though, and if they do play it, it’s more because it’s a great groove more than the lyrics.

I always had a bad relationship with vocals in general. It’s a sort of mental block. I have some general knowledge of music, but don’t understand singing, not even the basics. I can normally say if an instrument is out of tune, playing the wrong note or has a bad timing, but vocals are Arab to me!. If I had to sing lead to save my life, I would be dead!
All this to say, can one be so kind to explain where the auto tune part starts, and how do you recognize it?
Thank you!

Start with the bridge, particularly toward the end. Then check out when Mick sings the word "lose" on a different place in the song.

Oh man, how I wish Angus just pens a Covid Boogie or something,
just to make you blush.
Nothing else to do?
Let There Be Rock is a far better album than Powerage, btw.
