The is one of the greatest songs ever written by my most favorite poet.
Witnessed it live on No Security and it was really beautiful.
I love this song.

A hauntingly beautiful song about life on the road, one of my all-time fav Stones song.
The only downside? Ever since then, virtually EVERY band has had to write a ballad about being on the road -- and most of them suck. Or does "Faithfully" by Journey or "Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica float your boat? Not mine.

Bon Jovi's "Dead or Live" boats.
Wait, why is Moonlight Mile about being on the road, I mean other than "on the road" being in the lyrics? I never took as a some saga of the alleged drudgery of touring, which I'm sure the Stones didn't invent. I thought it was about some dude who got busted, chain hacked all day, drained, lying on his prison bunk, getting all ready to solo.

Excellent song on an excellent album. But I will say this about Sticky Fingers, I can't stand I Got The Blues or Sister Morphine. Those 2 songs are the reason why I will never pick Sticky Fingers as their best. Accuse me of blasphemy all ya want. I Got The Blues is a go nowhere sleepwalker and Morphine is a dopey song about dope. skip em every time.

The way Mick sings "Well it....just goes to show....things are not what they seem....." is one of the highlights of Sticky Fingers - applies to almost every human sitch you find in life, or at least for some people it does. If you're the type that can convince yourself of the way you wish things were rather easily, it probably makes absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever.

It?s just something you feel together

Waiting for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
Hod I know when it?s love

How does feel when it?s love
It?s just something you feel together
(Solo)

The thing I like the best there is the very last vocal from Mick, that "baby ah ah ah ah ah ah..." the way he vocalizes that "ah ah ah" is a recorded proof that Mick can be a fucking genius.
A song built by the two Micks. Makes me wonder how many more gems would exist if they have worked together more.

Turin Brakes did a nice cover of MM a couple years back. You can hear a little bit of it here. It made me cry.
Moonlight Mile is awesome - great use of strings and one of the best middle 8's / bridge I've ever heard anywhere.

Great song, great album! One of my top favorites.
Begins with the Brown Sugar energy and ends with the great Moonlight Mile lyrics and melody.
So relaxing...

although Keith doesn't play on Moonlight Mile, he is credited for the song naturally, and I think that I have read somewhere that he wrote the 'Chinese/Eastern' guitar part that appears throughout the song.

I do these little bits called "Songs with Art" I've done quite a few to Rolling Stones songs, here's my Moonlight Mile one.
When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there痴 a face you know
Don稚 the nights pass slow
Don稚 the nights pass slow
The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I知 just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones
Gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow
Let the air waves flow
Oh I知 sleeping under strange strange skies
Just another mad mad day on the road
My dreams is fading down the railway line
I知 just about a moonlight mile down the road
I知 hiding sister and I知 dreaming
I知 riding down your moonlight mile
I知 hiding baby and I知 dreaming
I知 riding down your moonlight mile
I知 riding down you moonlight mile
Let it go now, come on up babe
Yeah, let it go now
Yeah, flow now baby
Yeah move on now yeah
Yeah, I知 coming home
団ause, I知 just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Down the road, down the road

Are you serious? Wow....I Got The Blues, imo, is beautiful with some of the most intense Mick vocals I've ever heard. It's one of the reasons why this album is one of my favorites. To each his own!
