After stealing the show Saturday Night with their surprise rendition of "You Can't Always Get What You Want' on TV's "One World Together At Home," The Rolling Stones dropped a brand new single today.
The title couldn't be more timely in light of all that's going on in the world today ... "Living In A Ghost Town"... and some of the lyrics really resonate.
According to Keith Richards, the song was recorded “well over a year ago in L.A. for part of a new album ... and
then shit hit the fan. Mick and I decided this one really needed to go
to work right now and so here you have it.”
Mick Jagger says they worked on the song "in isolation" and, as such, it should work well through the times that we’re all going through together right now.
Ronnie Wood likes the song's “haunting melody” and Charlie Watts chimed in with “I
think it captures a mood and I hope people who listen to it will
agree.” (No official word on whether he was twirling imaginary drum sticks during this statement or not.)
Enjoy ... brand new Stones music at a time when we ALL can use a boost in spirit! (kk)
