The Rolling Stones have released the brand-new song “Living in a Ghost Town.”
It’s their first original song since 2012.
Mick Jagger spoke with Zane Lowe of Apple Music and said “It wasn’t written for now, but it was just one of those odd things. It was written about being in a place which was full of life but is now bereft of life so to speak…I was just jamming on the guitar and wrote it really quickly in like 10 minutes.”
The Stones have been slowly structuring a new album for the past few years. Keith Richards added, “It’s sort of eerie when suddenly it’s coming to life. I mean the ghost comes to life… I had said to Don [Was] about a month or so ago, ‘Hey, this is a time for the ghost town track.’ And then Mick called me and said the same thing and that great minds think alike.”(Photo by Getty Images/Getty Images for Global Citizen)
