Talk:Wild Horses (Rolling Stones song)

message: :The song is possibly about Mick Jagger's destructive love affair with Marianne Faithfull, although this is only speculation.
I took this phrase out precisely because it is speculation. If a verifiable source for this can be cited, then it would be OK to include in the article. GentlemanGhost 22:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I took out the following line because it was not only untrue but it contradicts the first line of the article: "Although popular at the Stones' live shows "Wild Horses" has never been recorded for an official release." I do believe Sticky Fingers was an official release.--Lairor 01:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Susan Boyle's version of Wild Horses is almost identical to the version by Charlotte Martin, which can be heard here. Charlotte Martin is fairly unknown, so its no surprise that I can't find any acknowledgement to Susan Boyle's arrangement being borrowed from Charlotte Martin, which is almost certainly the case. It would be really good if someone could find some sort of proof and include it in the Covers section. --kikumbob (talk) 20:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, Susan's version is musically identical with Charlotte Martin's piano solo version, only Susan's has strings accompaniment addition. It's true, but unless some published critics writes about that, we cannot include such information in the article, that's the WP policy. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 11:30, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The stats might be relevant if the proposal were to make the RS song the undisambiguated primary topic, but that isn't the case.

I have read that Gram Parsons claimed to have written or co-written this song. The Stones dismissed his claim and he never pursued it. Can some interested party find some references to this? It would be an important addition to the article.

message: : The Stripped version of the song is a remake and not the original. All of the infobox parameters refer to the original and not the other one.  Since the article barely mentions it and it's not discussed in the AllMusic song or album reviews, a separate section or infobox is not warranted either. If there are no objections, I'll remove the extra chronology. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:24, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stripped version 

message: I heard this song in a documentary this evening, and got to wondering about whether Gram Parsons had a co-writing credit with the Stones. I know relatively little about Parsons, and assumed the wiki article might touch on the collaborative writing process.
It was with that in mind that I tripped over the below graf in the Inspiration and Recording section. I'm confused; is the implication that some think/allege that Parsons wrote the song (and/or lyrics)? Or is it simply a reference to a rock-and-roll artifact that may or may not include authentic handwritten lyrics to the song? In which case, does it really merit inclusion? I could rattle off a number of Grateful Dead-related collectors items that connect to their songbook, but I'm not about to start doing it!
If others understand the gist of this graf, I'll be interested to hear more about it.
