-Make an inference about the lyrical content of the song and explain it.
-Write one analytical statement about the musical content of the song and explain/support it.
-Make one evaluative statement about the song's overall effectiveness and support it.

The lyrics show that the speaker has experienced pain and loss, clearly illustrated by the lyrics, "You were wrong when you said everything's gonna be alright," and "You were right when you said you can't always get what you want." 
The slide of the electric guitar in the musical aspects of this song shows the lack of structure in the speaker's life. Not everything is planned, and sometimes things just happen without any interference.
The overall effectiveness of this song seems somewhat contradictory. The lyrics imply that the speaker is in a lot of pain, but the background music seems too loud and doesn't seem to flow as much as one would think with the lyrics.
