By Russell Hope

 

The Stones, playing in Marseille in 2018, have released their first new single in eight years

 

The Rolling Stones have released their first new single in eight years, a tune that reflects life in the coronavirus lockdown.

 

Living In A Ghost Town, a bluesy composition which was "finished in isolation", according to the band's Twitter page, includes lyrics such as "life was so beautiful, then we all got locked down".

 

Singer Sir Mick Jagger said that they started working on the track before the pandemic forced much of the world into lockdown and decided to release it because it would "resonate with the times we're living in".

 

In a video posted on social media, Sir Mick, 76, said: "So we were in the studio, the Stones recorded some new material before the lockdown and there was one song I thought would resonate with the times we're living in which is called Living In A Ghost Town.

Nothing harmful can survive inside a body containing so many chemicals – and now he even quit smoking...

Good Livin'!! 

I quite like it. It grows on you after a couple of plays. I can imagine listening to it when wandering through the deserted streets of a big city.

Wine, women and lots of song, just to mention a few.

Lots of brown sugar in their coffee.

Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town? 
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown

 

The lyrics to this classic are just as relevant to the current situation as they were in the early 80s.
