THE ROLLING STONES - 'Faraway Eyes'

Whenever I listen to young bands such as the likes of Vampire Weekend I can't help looking back and thinking of their 'ancestors'. The Stones are one of my favourite as you may have noticed from older posts and this song is a gorgeous one. Find the lyrics on the net and you'll laugh or at least smile a lot, I'm sure. This sort of country sound in a Stones' song can be found in a few more songs; they've always have gotten inspiration from American music which, apart from rock'n'roll, blues or jazz, includes country.
This video is part of the Martin Scorsese's 2006 movie 'SHINE A LIGHT', filmed live at the Beacon Theatre in New York City after The Stones had just finished their A Bigger Bang World Tour.
