Haven't heard the radio edit yet. Does this mean there are four versions:

The single, the shortened video version, the remix and the radio edit?

There’s also a piano version without vocals, can’t remember the artist but it’s kind of lame

It's elegant and beautiful.

I like it!

Personally I don't think this song is suitable for a piano or a classical performance to many reiterations

With that piano version you can really hear how the majors and minors work together well, with the odd dissonance of a note in the melody, and the vibe they have in the key the song is in. It's brilliant. If it was in a different key it probably would sound very strange.

One good thing about this thread - it killed the ridiculous 'new' album thread.

Are we seriously still discussing this track? It’s OK, but hardly warrants all this guff. I guess many Stones fans are that starved!

First new original Stones since, uh... 2012. EIGHT YEARS.

People seriously discuss tracks from 1976 and 1969 - should those be unwarranted as well?

Of course we are. The Rolling Stones....and counting.

Of course we are serious Big Al ..... its a classic Stones track
And it is the best song released during Covid 19 times ....

even though it deals with these times
of gloom its has a warmth ... an up lifting heart beat .....

....like all great Stones songs ....

Yeah! (Well said.)

This thread's just getting warmed up - more remixes and the official physical copies coming soon, not to mention the dozens (hundreds?) of cover versions on youtube...
Only one song, and the first original song in nearly eight years...might have to wait eight more before there's another, so might as well make the most of it.

Mr. Hairball .. you dig the new song .. it's apparent. In fact.. you like more than I do. You're impressed ... we can tell.


So now do you believe The Stones can still deliver the goods if they ever finish / release an album? Just curious is all?


Rock on

Yeah I like it, and as I said above might as well enjoy it for all it's worth - could be another eight years before they release another tune. And chances are this was the best of the bunch they've been working on.
As for an entire album ever getting finished? Lets just say I seriously have my doubts but I've been wrong before. And if they do, based on the last several albums there's guaranteed to be some real clunkers.
So yeah, they might be able to deliver a couple of more decent tunes, but for every decent tune there's about five or six that are crap - just my opinion, but they probably realize it also.
Then again, maybe they could slap together another covers album if they hit another wall - would be better than a hodgepodge of junk (w/one or two decent tunes), and also better than nothing.

Yes she does, and she was also a big fan of Rain Fall Down - her favorite off of ABB.
I remember her getting in the groove when I played the album the first several times, and when we saw them play it live at the Hollywood Bowl she danced her ass off!

What happened to Living In A Ghost Town?
... you should be singing it under empty viaducts, on empty beaches, in empty parks and streets! What a great feeling that is. Soooo quiet

Just got an email from official site. CD single is delayed.
___________
We have been informed from the supplier that the release date has changed for the product(s) below that you have ordered.

1 x Living In A Ghost Town CD - The Rolling Stones - CD1

The new release date is 26 June 2020.

If you don't want to wait and would like to cancel, please contact customer service. Otherwise please hold tight and we will dispatch as soon as possible. You will be sent a mail to confirm when your order has left the warehouse.

Didn't receive that email ironbelly, but looked at my original order email confirmation from April 23 and it says: Your order is expected to ship on June 26, 2020
I also ordered the vinyl so maybe the vinyl wasn't to be available until Jun 26, and cd was to be bunched together in shipment. What was the original date of cd release?

Wasn't it originally written as Living In A Goat Town before the Pandemic?

Thanks for clarifying...wondering what the deal is with the long delay...maybe due to the coronavirus?
Or could be some sort of strategy to boost the somewhat meager sales?

Okay, Rockeeeeeee, it's a deal! "And the phone, and the phone...kept ringing."
Will you be able to hear it all the way down there, down under?
We can play "Living in a Ghost Town" in the background.

Could be covid. International post services are jammed for many countries and territories. Maybe they just decide to wait a month for normalization of the services. Or to unify the release date to avoid logistic problems.
