The story behind the song

"Ruby Tuesday," released in January 1967, is a poignant reflection on a free-spirited woman, inspired by Keith Richards' girlfriend at the time, Linda Keith. The lyrics capture the bittersweet nature of loving someone who is constantly moving on, a "slipping away" feeling that is both beautiful and melancholic. Brian Jones' alto recorder countermelody adds to the song's distinctive baroque pop sound, while Bill Wyman and Keith Richards uniquely shared duties on the double bass. It plays like a tender farewell to a fleeting presence, acknowledging the beauty of a spirit that cannot be contained.
