  • "As Tears Go By" is a song written by The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, and their manager Andrew Loog Oldham and most popularly recorded by British singer Marianne Faithfull in 1964. The song is considered to be the first original composition by Jagger and Richards. Up until that point they had been performing covers of blues standards. The myth surrounding the song's genesis has it that Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham locked Jagger and Richards in a kitchen forcing them to write a song together, even suggesting what type of song he wanted: “I want a song with brick walls all around it, high windows and no sex.” The result was initially named “As Time Goes By” the title of the song Dooley Wilson sings in the film Casablanca. It was Oldham who changed “Time” for “Tears.” Oldham subsequently gave the ballad to Faithfull, then 17, for her to record as a B-side. The success of the recording caused the record company, Decca, to switch the song to an A-side, where it became a very popular single. It reached # 4 in the British charts and launched Faithfull's career as a major singer. The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 in America the week ending November 28, 1964, where it stayed for nine weeks peaking at # 22. The Stones recorded their own version in 1965. It appeared as the B-side to "19th Nervous Breakdown" in the U.K. This recording is notable for its heavy string arrangement by Mike Leander. It was one of the three songs the band performed live during their third appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was released as a single by their American record label, London Records, due to popular demand after radio DJ's across the country started playing the song from their recently released compilation album December's Children . The song peaked at # 6 on the Billboard charts in America for the Stones. The song had great success on the Billboard Easy Listening chart years before the seemingly more wholesome Beatles would see their first entry. It was performed live on tour for the first time in November 2005 on the Stones' A Bigger Bang Tour. A performance from the 2006 leg of the tour was captured for the 2008 live release Shine a Light. Other live versions include a rendition by French pop star Vanessa Paradis and Marianne Faithfull accompanied by guitarist Johnny Marr during a tribute concert to Linda McCartney at the Royal Albert Hall in April 1999. It was covered by British bubblegummers The Primitives on the 12" of Sick of It and as a regular part of their live show. It has also been recorded by the Mallorquina singer Maria del Mar Bonet. It was also covered by Nancy Sinatra in 1966 on her album "Boots" and PP Arnold in 1970, once again produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. The song appears as bonus track on the 1984 Psychic TV album of demo recordings "Pagan Day." In 2004, the song was covered by the young californian artist Katy Rose. The song was translated in Italian ("Con le mie lacrime") and released in 1965 as a bonus track in "As Tears Go By" Single album in Italy. It was also performed, live, in the last Bigger Bang tour in Milan, on July 2006. (en)
  • As Tears Go By es una canción escrita por Mick Jagger, Keith Richards y Andrew Loog Oldham que fue popularizada por la cantante británica Marianne Faithfull en 1964. Esta canción se considera como la primera composición original de Jagger y Richards. Se dice que el manager Andrew Loog Oldham los obligó a escribir el tema, llegando al punto de encerrarlos en una cocina hasta que lograran escribirla. Finalmente consiguieron escribir algo juntos, el tema se llamó "As Time Goes By", el mismo título de una canción de Dooley Wilson que fue incluida en la película Casablanca. Oldham propuso cambiar la palabra "time" por "tears" . Cuando la dupla Jagger y Richards escribió la canción, Los Rolling Stones acostumbraban a tocar covers de blues, y como una balada no se ajustaba a la imagen del grupo, el manager decidió entregar la canción a Marianne Faithfull, una joven artista que también estaba a su cargo. En un principio pensó publicarla como sencillo cara B, hasta que la compañía discográfica vió el éxito de la grabación, y decidió publicarla como cara A. El sencillo debút de Faithfull alcanzó el puesto # 4 en Inglaterra y el # 22 en el Billboard Hot 100. Los Stones grabaron su propia versión en 1965, con la voz de Jagger, la guitarra acústica de Richards y un sobresaliente arreglo de cuerdas de Mike Leander. Aunque el tema estaba grabado con anterioridad, decidieron publicarlo a principos de 1966 como cara B de "19th Nervous Breakdown" en el Reino Unido, ya que no quería competir con "Yesterday" de The Beatles. También aparece en el álbum December's Children . En 1966 se publicó como un sencillo cara A en Estados Unidos y llegó al puesto #6 de las listas. (es)
  • "As Tears Go By" er en sang som blev skrevet af The Rolling Stones forsanger Mick Jagger og guitarist Keith Richards. Den blev mest kendt da den blev indspillet af den engelske sangerinde Marianne Faithfull i 1964 . Sangen bliver betragtet som den første originale komposition af Jagger og Richards. Indtil det tidspunkt havde de optrådt med covers af blues musikere. Myten fortæller at sangens oprindelse skyldes, at The Rolling Stones daværende manager Andrew Loog Oldham låste Jagger og Richards inde i køkkenet, og tvang dem til at skrive en sang samme . Resultatet blev ”As Time Goes By”, som er titlen sangen Dooley Wilson synger i filmen Casablanca. Det var Oldham der ændrede det ”As Time Goes By” til ”As Tears Go By”. Oldham gav balladen til Faithfull, dengang 17 år, til hendes plade som b-side. Succesen af pladen gjorde at pladeselskabet, Decca, ændrede sangen så den blev til a-siden, hvor den blev en meget populær single. Den blev nummer 4 på de engelske charts, og fastgjorde Faithfull som en stor sangerinde. The Stones indspillede deres egen version et år senere. Den findes som b-side til ”19th Nervous Breakdown”. Den var en af de tre sange som bandet optrådte med til deres første optræden på The Ed Sullivan Show. Udover The Stones live optræden af sangen, er den også sunget live af Faithfull i selskab med guitarist Johnny Marr under en koncert på Royal Albert Hall for Linda McCartney i 1999 . Det blev coveret af Nancy Sinatra i 1966 på hendes album ”Boots” og P. P. Arnold i 1970, endnu en gang produceret af Andrew Loog Oldham. (da)
