I'll let you know what the shrink says.


She's So Cold is my favorite Stones track. I see/hear art when I hear shes so cold. I didnt always, I just thought it was a cool song. But it may be entirely me, but the little guitar parts, to me sound like somebody is playing inside a refrigerator, or on some icy terrain. Im not sure how they accomplished that, but those little licks sound like icicles dripping off, and that metallic edge you might expect from a cold environment. And the shuffling drum beat sounds like plodding on ice. Again, it may be totally me hearing things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo34VhfcetU

Start me up may be a case of overkill. It got to a point where you couldnt watch a football game without start me up playing right before kickoff. it might have gotten too much exposure, and "you make a dead man come" is a pretty lame line, but i guess works for rock n roll.
