Hi everyone. Hope you are all well and continue to stay that way during this global health crisis we are facing. But in addition to protecting your physical wellness, what are you doing to stay mentally healthy today?

I know we are in a serious situation, but I need a break from the gloom, doom and bullying by way of hoarding. Music has always been my refuge and watching those beautiful Italians singing to each other from their balconies reaffirmed my belief that music is the answer. So until the old normal returns, I am going to share a song I listen to that helps me escape the current state of things, if only for a few minutes each day. And if this helps anyone else, even better.
The Beatles introduced us to the songwriting team of Lennon & McCartney while The Rolling Stones gave us Jagger & Richards. They have written so many great songs that rock over the last 56 years, but out of all of their ballads, this is my absolute favorite.
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands
Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away.”
The Rolling Stones circa 2010: L-R: Charlie Watts, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger & Ron Wood. (Image found online. Original source unknown.)
The Rolling Stones: “Wild Horses” (1971, written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards).
I do not own the rights to anything. I am just sharing what I love and how I am coping with you.
Stay well.
