Moonlight Mile reminds me of Van Morrison

The other thing "Moonlight Mile" reminds me of, that is not a song at all, is the passage from As I Lay Dying that begins, "In a strange room you must empty yourself for sleep" and ends, "How often have I lain beneath rain on a strange roof, thinking of home."

I've been listening to lots of Stones this week in the wake of Charlie Watts' passing, and today--after many years of listening to "Sway"--I have learned that it's "that demon life has got you in its sway," not "that mean old life forgot you in its sway." "Demon life" goes way harder

for some reason, just before watts died i was having a moment with Between the Buttons. many moments, like on repeat for days and days. i like the usual big 4 stones albums (beggar's through exile), but i no longer think those are their best. sticky fingers seems so SLOW now!
― professional anti- (Karl Malone), Friday, 27 August 2021 21:55 (two years ago) link
not trying to set up a strawman or talk shit on sticky fingers or anything -- i'm pretty sure those are the the consensus "big 4" with the stones, right, and their 1966/67 stuff fucking rules!
i think my favorite stones era is still 1968 though, holy moley

You ranked Sugar LAST?
― calstars, Friday, 27 August 2021 21:59 (two years ago) link
Recently come to the conclusion that as 'obscene' as the lyrics are in "Brown Sugar", they're beaten in the obscenity sweepstakes by the beat under the verses and especially the sax solo.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 27 August 2021 22:00 (two years ago) link
The sax solo itself, I mean, as the verse beat plays under it too.

"Sway""Dead Flowers""Moonlight Mile""Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (first 2-3 minutes; the part they use in Casino)
"Wild Horses""You Got to Move""Brown Sugar" (low ranking not a statement; just tired of it)"I Got the Blues"

there are a lot of songs featuring horny white men singing about having sex with people of color around that time, but that one seems especially tone deaf, and it also points to a kind of songwriting style for them (the kind that is most frequently played on the radio, like start me up) that is not my favorite

i'm not trying to me too the rolling stones, it's just like woooooooow at that one though. the very least they could do is stop playing it in the year 2021.
They still do it, but Jagger 'forgets' to sing the nastier parts.

let's see, which part should we excise here from verse 2
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hotLady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stopHouse boy knows that he's doing alrightYou shoulda heard 'em just around midnight
uh
how about verse 3
Ah, and I bet your mama was a tent show queenAnd all her boyfriends were sweet sixteenI'm no schoolboy, but I know what I likeYou shoulda heard me just around midnight
oh

XPS Like every verse ends with "You shoulda heard 'em..." without the description of what you're hearing.

genius.com commenter:
“Brown sugar” is also a reference to (brown) heroin, which Mick Jagger used liberally at the time. He is asking why heroin is so fun. So there is another layer to the song which is about Jagger’s complicated relationship with the euphoric, taboo, and deadly drug.+10
+10
brown sugar, right after that:
"got me craving the, the brown sugar, just like a black girl should, yeah"
um, yes but the black girl...heroin. drugs.

I mean, they could quietly drop the song and most folks wouldn't care as long as they get the other 15 expected hits in a show.

They didn't do "Beast of Burden" the last time they played here, and people were upset. Add it back in place of "Brown Sugar" and-Voila!-happy campers.

You're right, it plays through...You know what I mean about the break in the song, though, right? The first two minutes of the scene are great, then the meandering rest of the song takes over.
