Story behind the song
B side to "The Last Time" Personnel: Mick Jagger lead and harmony vocals, tambourine Keith Richards acoustic guitar Phil Spector bass guitar . . . Yes that Phil Spector Jack Nitzsche harpsichord, tam-tam . . . Yes that Jack Nitzsche who co-wrote "Up Where We Belong" and movie soundtracks including The Exorcist and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The arpeggio tune came to me in a dream in that 6:00 twilight between sleep and getting up. I get up, bruise my shin against the coffee table and get to the keyboard where I write down what's in my head and then go back to sleep. When I return, sometimes I see what I wrote and I think "What was I thinking?". This one, the more I worked with it, the more it became Play With Fire by the Stones.
