Our Music Monday series was created during the lockdown of the pandemic. While we enjoyed creating it, and some of you expressed enjoying it as well, we have decided to put our efforts towards other creative endeavors within our blog. Even though the series has been archived, you may still peruse other Music Monday posts. Thank you for allowing us to create interesting content for you and hanging with us during the pandemic and beyond.

We have a blog series called, “Music Monday,” here on Arner Adventures. Since music creates a soundtrack for our day-to-day living, it only makes sense.

This week, I am discussing the song, “Criss Cross”, by The Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones released the second song from their long-awaited new album. It has been 15 years since the last release. Criss Cross feels like the one we’ve been waiting for, for decades. The Stones have purposely tried at times to duplicate their classic sound and came up short. “Criss Cross” feels like the real thing, straight from the classic 70’s output.

The song doesn’t try too hard, but is an honest effort at what they do best, and what they’ve always done better than anyone else. “Criss Cross” builds slowly, starting with a Richards/Wood rhythm and wah-wah style guitar combination. Jagger delivers his usual snarl, quite remarkable for a 75-year-old, shortly after heart surgery. The vocals build and build and finally climax in a falsetto howl as the song closes out.

Stones fans should be pleased. Just hearing from these musicians is like a letter from an old friend. It just so happens to be a very exciting letter: full of life, love, sex, and fun. The Stones- just the way we love them.

About arneradventures

Hi, we are Shannon and Gerry Arner, and our rescue, fur baby, Betty White. After owning our own business, working 24/7, we made a lifestyle change and decided to make the most out of life. We sold our house, downsized, and moved to the coast. We are wanderlusters; we live life minimally, but fully. We live each day as an adventure, and enjoy sharing them with you!

    Ger, as always I need to check when putting in your name. Spell check doesn’t like it. Have a great week.
