According to the Songfacts website, there’s a lot of lore around the classic Rolling Stones ballad “Wild Horses.” Keith Richards supposedly wrote it as a sort of lullaby for his newborn son and then Mick Jagger rewrote the lyrics as a tragic ode to love gone wrong. It was actually first recorded by Gram Parsons’ Flying Burrito Brothers in 1970 and then the Stones released it on the 1971 album Sticky Fingers. Hope you enjoy my take on it.
