The Rolling Stones "Wild Horses" is one my favorite songs in general. It's just one of those songs that's hard to explain to others why you like it so much :)

I like it alot too. If you want to get depressed about lost love, listen to the Stone's Memory Motel from 1976's Black and Blue album!!

It's hard to see the Stones as anything other than a parody of themselves these days, but when the history of this era is written I think it will be said that Mick Jagger knew how to sing a song. Besides being a very good blues singer, he had the ability to put himself in a character while singing and this emotion/feeling call it what you will translated very well through the recording process. The whole phenomenon might be roughly equated to what an opera singer does, not in a technical voice sense but in a sense where there is a sort of a coming together of both acting and singing in a way that gets under the skin of the listener.

No question you hear this in Wild Horses as well as many other of their better songs.
