Mick Jagger has released two new songs and gets political with ‘Gotta Get A Grip’ and ‘England Lost’.
Jagger says the songs are his response to “the confusion and frustration with the times we live in”.
Jagger only wrote the songs a few weeks back. “I’m excited to share new music with you! I started writing these two songs a few weeks back and wanted to get them out to you straight away. I feel a slight throwback to a time when you could be a bit more free and easy by recording and putting it out there immediately. Enjoy them. MJ”
Mick didn’t wait to wait until 2018 for the songs to debut on an album. “I didn’t want to wait until next year when these two tracks might lose any impact and mean nothing,” he said.
He says England is in turmoil and wanted to make the statement now. “We obviously have a lot of problems. So am I politically optimistic? .No.”
“I went to see England but England lost,” he sings in England lost. He believes we are “in a difficult moment in our history”.
