This was such a pleasure to read. It reminds me that good writers, who are thoughtful, and who take time to find the right words, and who take time to construct the thoughts that stem from--as Jack White has recently put it--"sacred musical places," can generate appreciation and excitement on a higher level than we usually otherwise can!
That I agree with him on so many many points, including the excerpt I've included, is actually irrelevant, it would be just as good if I didn't.
It is nothing new to us here, but read it anyway!

Sticky Fingers ends with perhaps the strangest and most unique recording in the Rolling Stones’ entire catalogue, the haunting, modal epic “Moonlight Mile.” “Moonlight Mile” is an intoxicating mix of exotic and intimate, a song that builds a studied and stately distance, then collapses it with an immediacy as forceful as this band ever mustered. Jagger’s vocal drifts in and out of falsetto, his words stark and impressionistic: “When the wind blows and the rain feels cold/ with a head full of snow,” a line too pretty to be about drugs, which means it’s almost certainly about drugs. By the time enormous slabs of electric guitar start crashing into the track like thunderbolts, nearly 3½ minutes in, you’ve almost forgotten what you’re listening to.
