Off the soundtrack to the 2004 remake of Alfie, and winner of a Golden Globe for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture.
The meaning is somewhat obvious; about a guy who seems to be unable to get over his past love life, which also fits into the film it was used in. As far as Jagger's music goes, I think this is one of his better solo projects. He's being himself here; he's not trying to to rock out like you would expect the lead singer of the Rolling Stones to do. He seems to understand what he's singing here, and it carries into the performance. It's still superceded by some of his Stones work, but it stands well on its own.
The song's only real downfall was the film it was used in died a quick death at the box office, which has somewhat limited the song's shelf life on the radio. Maybe Mick really should just stick to the stones and tour for another 100 million or so; at the very least, it's more lucrative.
