Memory Motel

"Memory Motel" is a ballad song from English rock band the Rolling Stones' 1976 album Black and Blue.

Jagger describes her thus: Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl; Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved....Her eyes were hazel and her teeth were slightly curved; She took my guitar and she began to play, She sang a song to me, Stuck right in my brain...

When I asked her where she headed for, "Back up to Boston, I’m singing in a bar"The lyrics talk of the fading love brought on by a one-night stand at said motel.

The song describes the female subject as a strong, independent woman, comparable in many ways to the female subject of "Ruby Tuesday", with Richards repeated refrain: She got a mind of her own and she use it well...Richards did not play guitar on the track, but contributed co-lead vocals alongside Jagger; Black and Blue has long been known as the album used to find a replacement for lead guitarist Mick Taylor, who left right before work was to begin on it.
