Far Away Eyes ( 12\" ) 08:37
Songwriters: Jagger/Richards
\"Miss You\" was written by Mick Jagger jamming with keyboardist Billy Preston during rehearsals for the March 1977 El Mocambo club gigs, recordings from which appeared on side three of double live album Love You Live (1977). Keith Richards is credited as co-writer as was the case for all Rolling Stones originals written by either partner or in tandem.
Jagger and Ronnie Wood insist that \"Miss You\" wasn't conceived as a disco song, while Richards said, \"...'Miss You' was a damn good disco record; it was calculated to be one.\" In any case, what was going on in discotheques did make it to the recording. Charlie Watts said, \"A lot of those songs like 'Miss You' on 'Some Girls'... were heavily influenced by going to the discos. You can hear it in a lot of those four-to-the-floor and the Philadelphia-style drumming.\"
