This is the best song jagger has come out with in years! When I first watched slow horses I recognized his voice and read how he wrote it for the show. Every time I watch I never skip the intro! Lol!

[rosehatter]

Love the song and LOVE the show! Gary Oldman is AMAZING!!!!

[ElliottNest]

I love the way Jagger sings “surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers” as his voice drips with contempt. Perfectly done.

Statement from "Slow Horses" series director James Hawes: “We always wanted a song to set the tone for the show and there was only ever one name in my mind — Mick Jagger. Hearing the track for the first time was utterly thrilling. Mick’s lyrics and performance have totally nailed the mood of Slow Horses, with all the humor and swagger I dreamed of.”
No lie, Mick "totally nailed" it.

In 1966 when I was in high school, I had an entire wall in my bedroom plastered with pickers of Mick.
Will be a fan 'till my dying day.

There aren't many people alive on this Earth that can believably pull this amount of swagger in a song!

[rlatimer]

Love how Jagger squeezes every bit of meaning out of the word strange, his rendition of the song could be a master class for any actor or singer. The song is just beautiful and really helps the viewer enter the world of Slough House. Jagger is a genius.

On very first hearing, I thought "Who's taking off Jagger?" then the getting of wisdom. A masterpiece fitting the series (and I'd read the books). Jagger, Oldman. Perfection.

Over time, Mick Jagger is one of the absolute best entertainers the world has seen. To hold that class for SIX decades - now heading into the seventh - who's even close?

[avalondreaming]

Mick's still got it! The greatest front man in this game.

[oddvarolsen]

Mr Jagger is the greatest singer in the world, the best sound, ever.

[monikamay]

For me Mick Jagger's voice is simply something unique!! His personality, talent... it all adds up to a extraordinary whole. By the way... fantastic song!

[richardlee]

Great song. Great lyric. Mick sounds ageless, timeless. Best thing I've heard in a long time. And really good tv show, looking forward to season 2.

[somethingelse]

Really catchy song. 60 yrs a legend, can't wait for 70.

[nightbloomer]

He is not just a frontman, he is by far, the greatest star left on this damaged planet

[nikos]

The one a only, the eternal Mick Jagger!!

[Nunov]

Totally addicted to this song and this show, Slow Horses is a masterpiece.

[nancymooremusic]

Did Mick Jagger just tell me to drill down on the data again? As a data person wild horses couldn't drag me away. :)

[andrewfuller]

I don't feel the need to say what a big fan I am of Mick J. What is more important for mine is just how perfectly the song, and how it is sung, suits the show down to a T. the show is simply one of the best I have seen in a long time.

[ajgsg]

He loved the books and wanted in on the project, who could say no? Ends up creating one of the finest theme songs for TV or film ever made.
