About This Track

Ms. Faithfull’s hauntingly beautiful voice seems to emote the tormenting struggle in dealing with addiction, especially after a life-threatening overdose, wanting to quit, yet having thoughts which only want to focus on satisfying that inner craving.
The Rolling Stones play of this track is musically more entertaining, but Ms. Faithfull’s vocals pierce to one’s soul.

    I prefer this version. Maybe harrowing is a wrong word? Not sure, I'd say more emotive than the Stones.

    Not bad, but not better than the Stones' version. I definitely wouldn't call it more harrowing. To each his or her own, though.
