You’re the book that I have opened

Keeping this song alive.

Yeah, I’m returning your call.

Mick was frustrated by the unfinished mess of recordings from the summer in Keith’s basement in Nellcôte. He took control of the sessions in Los Angeles and the songs came together.

It's like a dream come true

So won't you smile for the camera
