So many favorite songs, I will share them one at a time. This song, Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones, was recorded in 1971.
Found many backstories about this song. Who knows which one is true. This was intersting…
Mick Jagger’s (lead singer) girlfriend at the time, the singer Marianne Faithfull, claims “Wild horses couldn’t drag me away” was the first thing she said to Mick after she pulled out of a drug-induced coma in 1969.
There are other theories as to Mick’s muse for this song, however. Jagger’s longtime girlfriend Jerry Hall in The Observer Magazine April 29, 2007, said: “‘Wild Horses’ is my favorite Stones song. It’s so beautiful. I don’t mind that it was written for Bianca.” (Not likely, since Jagger didn’t meet his future wife Bianca until 1970, which was after the song was recorded.)
Either way, I enjoy the song and I hope you do as well.

A great song. And the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
I love the song and agree about the video. Glad you enjoyed.
what a cool song, I had never heard this. Thanks for sharing CaroL!!!
You are welcome. It is a favorite classic.
I love to enjoy this song, but I really haven’t heard it in a long time, and have never looked into the background of this song either. I’m glad to at least get a little picture from you.
I knew you would like it Albert. Love the classics. I couldn’t find a lot out about the origin.
That song takes us into adolescence, right?
Yes I have to agree with you Albert.
Wild horses, couldnt drag me away. Interesting tidbit of information here that I did not know. I also didn’t know the Stones did this one. I have always loved it. Great share missy!
Of course you like the song, it is great and they do not make them like this any more. You have never heard the Stones’ version? Oh wow it is incredible.
Oh yes, I have heard this version, I just didnt know it was them.
Oh ok, glad I could enlighten you. 🙂
Unfortunately, I have never heard this song or forgot
It has been a huge song for the Rolling Stone band.
I need to start making the title of the video larger fro everyone to see it. You can click the link and it gets right to the video.
I may or may not have heard it, the words are what I have often heard before…
I love this song, it is a favorite.
The video is long but I love all of it.
I haven’t heard the Flying Burrito Brothers in years. I didn’t know they covered the song either.
Interesting to read these back stories.
Love hearing these old classics, never go out of style for me.
Interesting. I bought the album when it first came out but had no idea what the song was about.
Like I said, I have read several stories about the origin and cannot figure out what the rela one is. Still a very cool song.
Also, I didn’t know this. This song was first released by Gram Parsons’ Flying Burrito Brothers in 1970. The Stones’ version was written in 1969, but had to wait for Sticky Fingers in 1971.
