Jagger further discussed “Living in a Ghost Town” Thursday on Beats 1 radio with Zane Lowe, saying he wrote the song with Keith Richards over a year ago.

“It wasn’t written for now, but it was just one of those odd things,” Jagger said. “It was written about being in a place which was full of life but is now bereft of life so to speak.”

Jagger also compared the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.

“The Rolling Stones have been a big concert band in other decades and other eras, where the Beatles never even did an arena tour — you know, Madison Square Garden, or, with a decent sound system,” Jagger said. “They broke up before they even, that business started, the touring business for real.”
