I'd never heard the song until reading Mick's autobiography. I was so touched by his description that I ran to the box set CDs to see if it was included. When I heard it for the first time I just sat there and cried. Who knows if the story is true but being a songwriter myself, I've poured my saddest moments into songs before so the idea of those words being true, even if were just for that moment when he wrote them, makes that the single saddest song I've ever heard. It's one of my favorites to this day.
