The Stones, longtime country music fans, incorporated many aspects of Bakersfield-style country music into this song. These included in particular Ronnie Wood's use of a pedal steel guitar for a solo and highlights, an instrument used on other songs from the album such as "Shattered" and "When the Whip Comes Down."{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} Also of note{{who|date=October 2017}} is the plodding rhythm of Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} Richards performed acoustic and electric guitars as well as sharing piano duties with Jagger.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} ContentIn the lyrics, the loneliness of life and the possibilities in finding love are dealt with: {{quote|text=So if you're down on your luck and you can't harmonize/Find a girl with far away eyes/And if you're downright disgusted and life ain't worth a dime/Get a girl with far away eyes.}}The verses of the song are half sung, half spoken, with Jagger using a parodic Southern American English accent: {{quote|text=I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield/Listening to gospel music on the coloured radio station/And the preacher said, 'You know, you always have the Lord by your side'/Well, I was so pleased to be informed of this, that I ran 20 red lights in His honor/Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord.}}[1]In a 1978 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jagger said, "You know, when you drive through Bakersfield on a Sunday morning or Sunday evening - I did that about six months ago - all the country music radio stations start broadcasting black gospel services live from L.A. And that's what the song refers to. But the song's really about driving alone, listening to the radio."[3] On influences, Jagger stated "I wouldn't say this song was influenced specifically by Gram (Parsons). That idea of country music played slightly tongue-in-cheek - Gram had that in 'Drugstore Truck Drivin' Man', and we have that sardonic quality, too." Asked by the interviewer if the girl in the song was a real one, Jagger replied, "Yeah, she's real, she's a real girl we used to know, we miss her." PerformancesThe Rolling Stones have performed "Far Away Eyes" sporadically since its introduction to their repertoire. It is performed in the concert film Live in Texas '78, featuring fiddle player Doug Kershaw. A live recording from July 1995 was included on the album Totally Stripped (2016), and a performance from the Stones' 2006 A Bigger Bang Tour appears in the 2008 concert film Shine a Light and on the accompanying live album. On 20 May 2013 the song was performed in Los Angeles as part of the Stones' "50 & Counting Tour." During their Zip Code Tour the Stones performed "Far Away Eyes" at LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee on 17 June 2015. The song has been covered by The Handsome Family on their 2002 album Smothered and Covered.[4] Promotional videoThe official promotional video was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg,[5] who directed several other videos for the band, including those for "Start Me Up," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Fool to Cry." Lindsay-Hogg also directed promotional videos for The Beatles and The Who. Personnel
