You Can't Always Get What You Want

Posted by Nerdyy

Watching the TV adaptation of Big Little Lies, I was (as always) struck by how badly visuals are able to keep plot twists a secret (I was easily able to pick out the two more interesting plot twists well before the halfway mark of the series!). While I haven't read the book, I am pretty sure that words are a much better vehicle at keeping a mystery; primarily because it is easy to wrap plot twists and hide them around nuanced words and sentences.

However, the series did have a kick ass soundtrack; and this song that ended the series is a beautifully arranged version of a timeless Stones classic (and a great message for all of us!).


and you can't always get what you want
you can't always get what you want
but if you try sometime
you might find
you get what you need
you get what you need.
