“Tell Me Straight” Lyrics (KR, 2023)
#I have to admit. I shut this off after about 30 seconds when I first heard it
#because the reverb/auto tune on Keith’s voice and the generic beat track are both terrible
#they still are
#but I went back after hearing that reviewer say it was the 2nd best song on the album/best lyrically
#and realized…this is the Charlie song
#I mean just look at the first verse
#‘do we have something or nothing at all/just tell me straight’
#after everything they went through with Charlie keeping Keith in the dark about how sick he was
#‘you got me high and it’s quite a long fall’ when he used to say Charlie gave him the ability to fly
#‘how do we finish? how do we start? … how do we meet? how do we part?’
#because now he knows their ending and their beginning despite insisting for years that Charlie would never die on him or fail him
#‘everyone is asking questions/I’ve got one or two’ when the question he’s asked most frequently is about Charlie
#‘just need a little time to clear the mind’ after he said he could only mourn Charlie ‘in increments’ because otherwise it was ‘too much’
#and ‘play me a song/life’s moving too fast’ is depressingly self evident
#the rolling stones
#charlie watts
#keith richards
