Hear the new Rolling Stones song with Steve Winwood
The Rolling Stones released “Jealous Lover”, new single of their upcoming album “Foreign Tongues”. The track has the legendary singer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Winwood, playing rootsy Rhodes piano and organ. “I think I was asked just to play on one song, then they said, ‘There’s another couple you can do. I did a couple more and then they said, ‘Come next week and do some more,'” Steve Winwood told Uncut.
In the same interview, Mick Jagger explained why they decided to call him: “I want to be able to perform the song in the studio, really perform it. I can’t do that sitting at the piano. So we thought, ‘Who’s a good soul piano player?’ I just thought of Steve. I first knew Stevie when he was about 15.”
“How he managed to get on stage at that age, I don’t know. And the weird thing was that those Traffic records were produced by Jimmy Miller, who produced some great records for us soon after that. So in a way, I’ve known Stevie more than half his life,” he said.

“Listen to me
Yeah, yeah
You said you’d let me live my life
No fetters and no chains
I believed your every word
Now your tune has changed
One day after coffee
You fixed me with a stare
And said where were you on Friday night?
Tell me who was there?
Well the only problem is
Well the only problem is
You’re such a part of me
Hands off jealous lover
Please let me be
And you pray like a mantis
You’re emerald green
Hands off jealous lover
The joke’s right on me
You’re clinging like ivy
You’re choking a tree
We were once so generous
Sharing secrets of the heart
Now the fruit is turning sour
Got a bad taste in my mouth
You can’t control the ocean
You can’t control the waves
You can’t control the shadows
Flickering in my cave
‘Cause there’s just one thing
Well there’s just one thing
They’ll only be a half of me, yeah
Hands off jealous lover
Please let me be
Your eyes full of envy
And you’re emerald green
Hands off jealous lover
Your words harsh and mean
You pray like a mantis
You’re feeding off me
Let it go, let it go, let it go, now
Let it go, let it go, let it go, now
Come on
(Let it go, let it go, let it go)
Hand off me
(Let it go, let it go, let it go)
You got to let me go baby
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Come on, come on baby
Hands off jealous lover
Please let me be
And you pray like a mantis
You’re emerald green
Hands off jealous lover
The joke’s right on me
The pearls ’round your neck
They don’t make you a queen
Hands off jealous lover
Please let me be
Your eyes are so cutting
You’re my own guillotine
Hands off jealous lover
Your words harsh and mean
You pray like a mantis
You’re feeding off me”
