Written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham, "As Tears Go By" was Marianne Faithfull’s breakthrough hit, becoming a chart success in the UK where it went to number nine on the Offical Singles Chart, securing its status as a mainstay of 1960s baroque pop. Released as a single in 1964 with "Greensleeves" on the B-side, this melancholic ballad features haunting lyrics that reflect themes of heartbreak and emotional vulnerability, capturing the mood of the early 1960s with its orchestral arrangement and somber tone. Marianne Faithfull's delicate, ethereal voice brought depth to the introspective lyrics of "As Tears Go By," marking a departure from her previous pop material.
