Is ‘Wild Horses’ by the Rolling Stones a negative song?
I really like the song but I feel like it’s not really a love song – more of a breakup song. Especially after looking at the lyrics! The reason im asking is because Im considering it as a first dance song for my wedding and i don’t want a negative song as my first dance! Songfacts: This started as a song for Keith Richard’s newborn son Marlon. It was 1969 and Keith regretted that he had to leave his son to go on tour. Mick Jagger rewrote Keith’s lyrics, keeping only the line “Wild horses couldn’t drag me away.” His rewrite was based on his relationship with Marianne Faithfull, which was disintegrating. Marianne Faithfull claims “Wild horses couldn’t drag me away” was the first thing she said to Mick after she pulled out of a drug-induced coma in 1969. But you need to decide the meaning of the song that fits to you. Everyone has a different memory of a song and what it may have meant to them. The song is very pretty.
