Ordinarilly I consider myself a bit of a hard-case, I don't mean that in a "I'm a hard-man "-sense, I mean, you know! I like songs like JJF, Sympathy, SFM....hard songs. Tonight I listened ,(hard) to Sticky Fingers. I paid particular attention to Moonlight Mile, and ya know that crescendo as it builds to the fade out, it brought tears to my eyes, strange!.....God Bless those people headed to The Gulf. |

Moonlight Mile is amazing. Whenever The Stones used
strings it always worked out very well.
They should have done it more

If there was one Stones song I would classify as ...BEAUTIFUL..'Moonlight Mile' would be that song. They have lots of ballady type songs that tug at the old heart strings, Wild Horses, Let It Loose, Winter, Coming Down Again, Memory Motel, Almost Hear You Sigh, but Moonlight Mile is very special, here comes that word again...Ethereal. |

Gypsy you softy!!!
That song is magic and really captures the brilliance of a stones ballad. I mean can you really name one stones ballad that you dislike? I know I cant. Rocker's they may be but their ballads "steal your heart away""

And God bless all the innocent Iraquian or American people- men, women and children that will suffer from this war. It's so ridiculous, it doesn't make any sense. War doesn't make any sense.
Yes, Moonlight Mile is indeed a wonderful, very beautiful song. It gets me too Gypsy! Last time it did was this summer, driving in the middle of the night in the country. Open roads, endless fields and the sky dazzling with stars... It has an out of this world feeling... Beautiful song. |

Pretty great ballad, I must agree. Those Paul Buckmaster strings are a powerful arrangement. They sound significantly like his arrangements with Elton John. I could almost see Moonlight Mile being an Elton song. But the Stones version would still be superior. I really admire that guitar work for Mick T. Sen-sational! |
