Wild Horses was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. The inspiration for the song was Jaggers tumultuous relationship with Marianne Faithfull. However, the song also reflects Richards feelings about not being able to see his son due to extensive touring. The song ultimately became one of the Rolling Stones most famous ballads, noted for its emotive melody and evocative lyrics.
