Oh god, I love this one, even if keith's contribution was limited to backing vocals. Mick Taylor really brought something to the Stones, something way different that the usual. He was just a brilliant guitarist. But I can't help thinking that the Stones would have broken up if Taylor had stayed, so it was best that he left. But we've got this, Moonlight Mile and a few others to remember him by.
As to the meaning, I think everyone has been to a real low point, but not all of us recognize life's simple pleasures in time to pull us out of depression. The song starts with Mick's oh-so-jaded, "One, two, three, four", but winds up with a beautiful ending. What a great example to get through life.
I can't help thinking (with a laugh) that this deeply romantic song would have been brilliant used as a theme for David Boreanaz' character on "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" or on its spin off "Angel". A missed opportunity if you ask me. "Demon life" indeed!
