The Rolling Stones - Living In A Ghost Town

It is a Cloudy R.E.D. Friday here on the East Coast, but it is going to be a warm one with temps set to reach a high of ~80°... I can live with that! LOL!

I am starting my Music Interludes a bit earlier today since I have "some" free time... or at least that is what I think... We shall see! FOr the first song of this Music Interlude day, I selected a song by the Rolling Stones titled Ghost Town... The setting for this song is London, ENgland, but could be anywhere in the world during this Pandemic! Not so much today, but a few weeks ago... At least now, people are beginning to come out of their homes and out into the FRESH AIR!!! COmpare the scenes in the video accompaniment to where you are, but remember, that London is a city of some 7-million plus people, so perhaps like NY City or the like... I hope you enjoy it!

LYRICS:

"Living In A Ghost Town"

I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town
I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town

You can look for me
But I can't be found
You can search for me
I had to go underground
Life was so beautiful
Then we all got locked down
Feel like a ghost
Living in a ghost town

Once this place was humming
And the air was full of drumming
The sound of cymbals crashing
Glasses were all smashing
Trumpets were all screaming
Saxophones were blaring
Nobody was caring if it's day or night

I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town
I'm going nowhere
Shut up all alone

So much time to lose
Just staring at my phone

Every night I am dreaming
That you'll come and creep in my bed
Please let this be over
Not stuck in a world without end

Preachers were all preaching
Charities beseeching
Politicians dealing
Thieves were happy stealing
Widows were all weeping
There's no beds for us to sleep in
Always had the feeling
It will all come tumbling down

I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town
You can look for me
But I can't be found

We're all living in a ghost town
Living in a ghost town
We were so beautiful
I was your man about town
Living in this ghost town
Ain't having any fun
If I want a party
It's a party of one
