Reviews
Displaying all reviews (2)This gorgeous (but repetitive, like a classic blues song) melody/song is based on a chord progression originally composed by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards (and the Verve songwriters rightly gave co-writing credit for this song to Jagger & Richards); as far as I can tell, this sheet music is 100% accurate to the original song. The song is relatively slow, with plenty of sustain and space between the notes, which gives the song a beautiful, meditative, ethereal ambiance.
