My very life today

Oh yeah, I’m gonna fade away[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]

My Favourite Stones song. The original album version can hardly be surpassed, but there many great live versions, here are 5 wonderful examples & the album (Let It Bleed – 1969) version.

Saying, “This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans
To Jerusalem”
I traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A FANTASTIC version.

From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries

For they’re deep and they’re wide
And the world’s on its side
And time is running backwards
