The Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler (Let It Bleed - 1969)

On the composing of the song, Mick Jagger said in a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone: “That’s a song Keith and I really wrote together. We were on a holiday in Italy. In this very beautiful hill town, Positano, for a few nights. Why we should write such a dark song in this beautiful, sunny place, I really don’t know. We wrote everything there -- the tempo changes, everything. And I’m playing the harmonica in these little cafes, and there’s Keith with the guitar.“
