“ Faith has been broken...tears must be cried...let's do some living after we die...💔" R.I.P. Charlie 😔 1941-2021😔

[@samantarizzi248]

This song has such a special meaning to me. It reminds me of my mother who is suffering from depression and other mental issues over the last 30 years - basically whole my life (I'm 21 now) and no matter how hard I try to help her out (by cooking and feeding her, cleaning the apartment, giving her (too) many advices over all these years, trying to make her happy) I never succeed. She is never happy, not even for me. I want to make her happy, but at the same time she makes me unhappy and I sometimes resent her for that. :( Faith has been broken - because she lied to me about my father all these years (I found out recentely about him), tears must been cried (I always cry when I listen to this song), but I somehow always end up hoping that someday we'll ride the horses together - meaning that she will find her peace and I will follow her into the light. This song gives me everything that a song could give you - hope, love and emotions. It speaks to my heart in the same way that I speak to my mother. Thank you, Rolling Stones!

[@samantarizzi248]

+Jm Schulze I love reading and yes - I thought about writing, too! I feel like I've got so much to tell, but at the same time I'm afraid people wouldn't understand me, or that I would be misunderstood, but I guess I'll never know if I don't try. :) It's just that sometimes I have so much sadness in my heart, that would make people sad or bitter, because of my stories and I wouldn't like that. Well, at the end of the day, that's life. Thank you so much, by the way! Your comment really made my day. :)

We are born free and wild. Later we are pushed to be fit into some box of conformity. Some of us break free for awhile....others are not so lucky. For the few of us still running free....it starts to get lonely as many of our friends have fallen behind...but how are we supposed to fit? We can not. We will not. We must ride on. Still looking for that never ending highway... somewhere we can truly be free.

[@desertsnow3360]

I remember hearing this for the first time... I was driving and it came on the radio... It was a gray winter day, and it immediately connected... I was a pretty heavy user at the time, and it was so obvious, yet so deep... The addicts will know, but for those who aren't, H especially, is this beautiful kind of despair... It's this broken thing, where you are killing the pain... You resign yourself... The days of easy living are gone, and the days of future life are replaced with dreams... You'll live someday... Knowing that day will never come while you are stuck in the addiction... You hate it, but at the same time, it's your love... Your comfort... You can't turn against it, and don't want to... Living will wait, until after you're dead... Until then you dream, in the comfort of that graceless lady.

Personally I'd switch it. Those were the years I was introduced to Metallica, Megadeath, saw the 1st airplay of Welcome to the Jungle on MTV, LOVE all those bands and music but I was raised on rock from the 60's & 70's.

I know what you mean, Ive just been to Muscle Shoals and in the Jackson Highway studios were Keith wrote it and the Stone recorded it, if you haven't been please try and go, amazing memories in there..Dave.

Giulia Puppo, your Dad sounds like a good one... long Road trips listening to 'Sticky Fingers' !! I hope you remember 'Dead Flowers' too ?!

No matter what happens in this world it's a good thing we have music because music will fulfill everybody's sold as lonely happy sad whatever you got going on music will fulfill and make you happy again❤

This is by far my favorite Stones song. I was a teenager in the 80's I had older brother's that turned me on to the Stone's. My brother's have passed on now. This song is simply amazing. I listen for the bass and strumming. When a guitar can bring the bass out its just unbelievable Y'all did that. 😍

[@jerryhendricks4628]

Good song Keith

[@anthonypate8657]

One of the best songs ever written .

[@williardbillmore5713]

Keith tells of the original inspiration for the song. His son Marlon was born to Keith and Anita Pallenberg in August 1969 and there was talk about going on tour shortly after he was born. Keith was so enamoured with his first son he did not want to leave and he insisted that "wild horses couldn't drag him away" from his son to go on tour. Keith immediately recognised a great song title and wrote the music and the refrain ...then brought it to Mick to flesh out the verses. Mick changed the lyric to be about a love affair breaking up, and one of their greatest songs ever written came into being from a very real emotional reaction Keith had about his son. I love stories like this that tell where the inspiration for a great song can come from.

[@bohemianlikeyou1988]

Thank you for sharing this precious story! 😊

[@williardbillmore5713]

@@bohemianlikeyou1988 The real genius of great song writers is to be able to recognise when a genuine emotion and a catchy phrase combine to become the raw material of a great and emotionally moving piece of music. Keith definitely has that genius.

[@RitaCerruti1]

Thanks !!!

[@eddiehockley4144]

I read somewhere that it was inspired by the time Marianne Faithful was rushed to hospital after a drug overdose, and when Mick turned up she begged him not to leave, to which Mick replied "Don't worry wild horses wouldn't drag me away". But who knows?

[@williardbillmore5713]

@@eddiehockley4144 *I know* . Your story is bullshit rumor and sensationalistic conjecture, eddie... I have heard Keith tell where the inspiration for wild horses came from several times and in several different interviews. Right from the horses mouth, so to speak. It fits with the way they wrote most of their hit songs. Keith is inspired and comes up with the refrain and the germ of the song's musical melody and then hands his composition off to Mick where he fleshes out the rest of the verses lyrics and together they refine the whole song.. It also fits with the deep love Keith has for all his children. Richards is a devoted family man. His first born son, Marlon, he had with Anita Pallenberg, was very special to him.

Wild Horses is their saddest and most melancholic song. I'm a guy and I'm crying. Just sitting and thinking of moments when I was in love and pain, this band was with me all the time. It brought me the happiest moments in life. Stones are a part of me, in the very heart ❤

So upset Charlie Watts passed away yesterday. He was 80, cannot really believe any of the stones have or will make it to 80 years. RIP Charlie! You were one of the best drummers of all time.

[@new_frontiersman9064]

Certainly one of their absolute best songs. And one of the best Rock songs ever recorded.

I'd met my graceless lady around 1971 - when this fantastic song was all brand-new - and I never got over it to this very day. each time I listen to it, the bitter-sweet memories linger on and tears must be cried......

I´m here due to Bojack The Horseman. I started to watch it, one week ago. I listened to this song at the end of first season! I´m surprised about this amazing lyrics and how it explains the deep plot into this amazing tv-show. I only want to say, things get hard in some point and only we can decide what to do about it. A nice life guys!
