"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by the English #rock band #theRollingStones, released as a non-album single in 1968. Called "supernatural #DeltaBlues by way of #SwingingLondon" by Rolling Stone magazine, the song was seen as the band's return to their blues roots after the #baroquePop and #psychedelia heard on their preceding albums #Aftermath (1966) (which did feature some blues songs), #BetweenTheButtons (1967) and especially #TheirSatanicMajestiesRequest (1967).

This is the promise you make, tho' –

"Do you ever get worried
And your load is hard to bear
And your life is like a sad, sad story
No one, nobody, really cares?

But if you ever need someone to talk to
And if you ever need a helping hand
I'll be your ship out on the ocean
I'll be your water in the desert sand …"

Keb' Mo', "I'll Be Your Water" (2006)
