Ok, so I am a little melancholy when I hear this song. It makes me think, remember and give thanks, I lived through all of this. My life began in December of 44. I am in the shadow of 80 as I write this.. It has been a good life and the very best time to have lived. He has been good to me. Thank you for the music, thank you for the life and thank you for the everything else that is too much to mention. Most of the good ones have departed and I will soon follow, but the music, the music will remain. HaShem-Amen
I was born in 1954, best time to live in a great country, grew up on a small dairy farm, didnt have much money but I have good memories that cannot be replaced and others much younger than I will never realize.
Cool Steven. We must be about the same age and grew up on family dairy farms. Yes, we are incredibly fortunate to have been born in the second half of the 20th century in the USA. Truly a golden age.
It was a tougher life. Food awful. Always cold in winter. But did we have fun. Never a dull or boring day. It was go go go. We were all slim with energy never burdened by being

You know?I listen to this song and it brings back memories of nineteen sixty four. Everything was everything was a lot more simpler back in the 60s. Even though we had a President assassinated on the United States soil also a rights. Activist killed in Memphis and a candidate running for President in California, but we survived.. Today nationwide we have murderers terrorism People coming over our border or borders are not following the rules for entry.Our government has changed drastically from nineteen sixty four

I too remember the 60’s. It’s easy to look back at those times through the rose colored glasses of nostalgia. Yes, those times were simpler, but they still had their problems, which we often overlook. Nice to see these glimpses of the past, but we had better start working on the problems of the present, or we may not have a future.
I'm 72, and recall well the bursting on the scene of Marianne. A truly beautiful looking young girl of 17, who was thrown into the lions den and morass of the then music industry, an innocent abroad. She was passd around the Stones and others within the business. She was not streetwise as others, a teen destroyed by the salaciousness of others...used for her flawless beauty. As much as the Stones are a great banc, they treated Marianne abominably, notably Jagger. A story of gooddestroyed.
Boy, I just came across this song, I was about 12 or 13 years old. This was my first love song ever! Now I’m 70 years old and remember my first dance with my school girl. This song brings me back many memories of my childhood. Thanks.👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺☮️☮️☮️🥳💕
Yes, music can transport me in the same way . Different songs bringing back different memories . Many people I knew in the 60 s are dead now but their memories live on tied to music .😊
It is hard to believe that Marianne was 17 when this song was released and that it originally was the "B" side of the record. . .there is something about this song that touched everyone who heard it in 1964, to be alive at that time and able to hear the incredible music that came out of it, is still incredible to me.
Always loved this song, but being so young and her focus and beauty combined together with her sensitive and beautiful voice makes this version perfect... 💜
At the time, Marianne Faithful was dating Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones (I believe Mick was 19 in 1964), and although the Stones did record this song, I'm sure that Jagger and fellow band member/songwriting partner Keith Richard wrote this song for Marianne.
1964 is my Favorite year, I was 13 and discovered Music thru the Beatles on Ed Sullivan's show, What a great time to be young ,I have Every song that made the charts in '64 ............
I’m a sixties child true and true - amazing music, care free times, freedom, days when people didn’t lock doors, the entire street knew each other and supported each other - look at us now with almost no sense of community, no security, suspicion, anxiety, complete breakdown in law and order,broken roads and music you can forget
do you mean the assassination of john kennedy and bobby kennedy and martin luther king jr and malcolm x? american race riots? the cuban missile crisis? the vietnam war? the manson family murders? the cold war with russia?
Nor will most people ever know the truth about that time. Most of the problems we face today are the result of the social collapse brought about by those who didn't care about the consequences of their actions.
I was 11 with my sister when we met Marianne after her gig. My sister chatted with her for a bit, Marianne invited us to join her for coffee in a cafe. It was late, so we had to get home. I will never forget how sweet she was and how beautiful. Also she had a lovely velvety speaking voice. Of course I was smitten. A few years later newspapers ran salacious stories of how during a drug bust at Keith Richards house, she was found naked, still with a mars bar inside her. The story of the mars bar was later found to be invented by journalists. It however was retold a thousand times and for a young innocent, teenage boy had quite a disturbing impact. The British tabloid press were the lowest of the low.
I believe this is what ruined her career and drove her to lifelong addiction. Mick Jagger and the rest of them got off Scott free, and never stood beside her. Marianne Faithfull said that she had just come out of the bathtub, and I believe she was wrapped in a fur blanket when the raid took place.
Yes, I was 18 when this came out, beautiful, beautiful. If only I could go back to that time, irrespective of the fog in winter, ice on the inside of your bedroom window and not having much, it was a great time to be alive.
I was 6 Bear, but I remember hearing it in my parents red '63 Galaxie 500 xl... We lived in a old Fire Station. It was the only thing my parents owned. My Dad polished the firetrucks and that car ALL the time. I would give all my teeth to go back to the sixties. Be well my friend. (The firestation had ice inside the windows) :-) My sister and I fought over Chief, our Firestation Dalmation to sleep with...lol we were given Chief by family freinds who found him. My sister named him Chief. Like Fire Chief (my Dad being a fireman) Agree it was a great time to be alive. be safe
We were poor and my dad would come into our room where I slept on the floor and take his work coat off me( it was my blanket) but I'd gladly feel that chill again and look up at his smile, as he'd quietly wave goodbye. (Love the song and Mariannes eyes in this video)
I was 17 in 1964, if only I could go back in time! My mate's girlfriend loaned me her Stones LP and I was hooked, still play their old music regularly. England was a great place to live, we never had the troubles we are suffering today, even though we were not well off.
I was six years old. My babysitter, Nancy was a teenager and a flowerchild. She was beautiful. I watched and listened to some of the most fantastic music ever produced. Now I'm 65 and can remember every phenominal song throughout those years. What a great time to live.
I was born in 1947 and spent the 1st 20 years of life growing up in rural Cornwall .. it was the best of times .. I was so lucky .. music was changing from dreary boring dirges to kick ass rock and roll and I ate up everything with youthful joy .. I know we can’t ever turn the clock back but wouldn’t it be nice even for one day ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello everybody. Just listening to this song by Marianne & reading the comments - I have never left a comment before - has brought me right back to the best decade in musical history, for my money. But each to their own. Not looking for a row or anything. Just saying! . I was 14 at the time & was so, in love with Marianne lol. Her voice got better and better with time. I live in Ireland, moved out of Dublin City to the "country" as we say. This true. Was outside a small village, that I went to live - for work reasons. Went to the local pub in the village-there was only the one, one evening. Three people there. One of them was.....wait for it........ Marianne Faithful! Imagine my shock. Over the course of the following months we got talking. She such a pleasure, treasure, to talk to. Again, believe or not, Ronnie Woods-he married to wife Jo at the time- joined her and she introduced him to me. True. Both had moved to this area away from the mad mad world. Unbelievable. Both so down to earth & great stories to tell... yes. Yee are all so right. The 60s was just pure magic , to grow up in. Stay Safe everybody.
So where were you all when this song came out? Way back in 1964. I was one year's old. At the time. Getting ready for that roller coaster of life. Thank you for the lovely song.
Senior in high school, sock hops, rock and roll and the Beetles, hippies, big hair, skirt hems creeping upwards, stretch pants. The cold war still threatened and I would not want to go back!😊
In 1968 69 I remember watching my grandfather working on old short wave radios in tube television sets. What start my frenzy in the early 70s into electronics? LOL. Radio electronics communications. Ham .commercial, military Surplus test Equipmentt and rdio sets. Even the days of electronics, this song came out in one of those old radio's back in the days when I used to watch my grandfather repair. Old Tube Radios At his Repair shop LOL.
I first heard this song on a car radio one evening in November, 1964. My dad, my 5-1/2 year old brother, a friend of his and I (about five weeks away from my 9th birthday) were riding in my dad's friend's convertible enroute home from a toy store, where my Dad (R.I.P.) bought us our first two wheeled bicycles as early Christmas presents (so that we could learn to ride them before Winter set in). The car radio was tuned to Boston's WBZ (at the time a top-40 station), and as we were headed home (the top was down although it was a cool evening in the Boston area, where I still reside), disc jockey Bruce Bradley played this record right after the 8 P.M. hourly newscast ended. To this day, I associate this record with the evening when my brother and I got our first bikes.
I was born in 1950, 14 when this came out (on a 45rpm) and remember it just like yesterday. It still stirs fond memories of the greatest music era ever, 60's & 70's. Music provided time stamps to all that was happening in our world that we grew up in as "Boomers"! 🎵🎶☮🥂
Very mature song written by Jagger & Richards when they were young men. One of my favourite songs of all time. Grand parent now & love the lyrics & sentiments of the song. A timeless classic. The 60’s were truly magical.
Its nostalgia 100%.. to those years, to when you were young, lyrics are vage, so you can imagine your own story. Marianne was very young and beautifull in 1964..
There's great music now, just not going to be pushed on tv and radio for you. Bands on youtube with tons of talent. I often find my favorite musical acts have less than 60k subscribers on youtube, but when I go to their concerts they are sold out with 2000-3000+ venues.
My girlfriend went to the same school in Reading as Marianne Faithfull. In 1964 or 1965 we went to their school fate and it was the same date as Marianne sang “As tears go by” on Top of the Pops. We managed to find a TV at the fate and watched her perform. Many years later in about 1991 I saw her in Auckland, New Zealand
This was one of the first songs written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The Stones manager, Andrew Oldham, gave it to a singer he also managed named Marianne Faithfull, who released it in 1964. It was going to be the B-side of her first single, but the record company decided to make it the A-side and it became her first hit. The Stones recorded it a year later. Faithfull became Mick Jagger's girlfriend in 1966. Their tumultuous relationship ended 3 years later.
Poignant and poetic: "I see smiling faces 🙂🙂🙂... but not for me." How tragic, if you envision it, the loneliness, the longing for love, mere human companionship, even a directed smile.
I heard this song on my parents radio in their '63 Rangoon Red Ford Galaxie 500 XL. I was 6 years old. Now I'm 65. Time is evil, it flies by at super sonic speed. When I hear this, it brings me back to that time riding in the back seat of that huge Red car with the windows rolled down, my Dad driving 60 mph(that was high speed), loving the wind in the car. Mom wore a scarf around her perfectly saloon done Poofed up hair. The best years ... I love old Fords and Mopars, what my family owned... they owned one Chevy, only one..... electrical and cooling issues with that '68 Impala, gone in a year and a half. Sorry this song brings back long ago memories. Be safe all, Be blessed.
When I heard this song for the first time, it was being sung by the Rolling Stones, but, a few years later, when I heard it being sung by a female voice, I started to like that interpretation more coming from a female voice and not a male one. Now, I learned that at that time I was hearing the voice of the singer Marianne Faithfull. Sad, but a beautiful and unforgettable song. 🥰👏👏👏
I remember seeing Marianne Faithful as Ophelia at the Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London. Her padded feet running softly as she got on stage, long silky hair and dark eye make up made her other worldly and mesmerisingly beautiful. She was on heroin at that time. It was the hippy era. She did go wild under Mick Jaggers spell!
At least there's a video clip of a wonderful time in music history . This song will always be played in years to come and someone will appreciate how innocent life was in the sixties.
Beautiful song, I was sixteen at the time she released it. I had a wonderful life in the sixties and early 70’s. I think 69 was the peak for me. It’s not possible to explain to youngsters today how amazing the 60’s were compared to life today.
In those days, music was all we had, so performers and audiences invested much more of themselves. Too many other shiny things today, so songs get swamped..
I can remember being a 14 year old boy when this came out and dreamed of having Marianne one side and Françoise Hardy one the other. Wonderful music and a young boys dream.😊😊.
Many of us have the same memories and emotions about the songs - especially Marianne's version of As Tears Go By. It wasn't that the sixties were idyllic; we faced the war in Viet Nam and the threat of nuclear annihilation. But we had such incredible music as an antidote. I feel sad for subsequent generations because they have similar evil threats facing them, but I just don't see the same kind of moving music. We had As Tears Go By; the next group of young people got Broken English. It's a good song, but we definitely got the better of that deal. Much of what kids have today is vulgar, coarse, repetitious, and devoid of any subtlety - leaves nothing to the young and innocent imagination. We were so lucky in our time; the soundtrack of our lives was golden.
@@michaelashkelony3048 That's mistaken. Clearly you're not a native speaker of English, so understandable. 'Down to earth' in English means honest and sensible. It has nothing to do with mercantilism.
Ohhhh,take me back to those days when music was like this.She looked and sounded fab,no swearing,screeching,jumping around hardly dressed.She just sat and sang a beautiful song which I still love in 2023.Pity she chose the downwards spiral with drugs etc,it trashed her looks and voice.Still this version is the best and a real classicm❤🏴👍
This is a very innocent and beautiful rendition, from a time in her life when things had not yet gone so wrong. And then you look at the Marianne of "Broken English." And you understand how awful life can become when you've made all the wrong choices and been used by all the wrong people. And it makes you very, very sorry for her.
I was 17 in '64, the same age as Marianne. I have to admit I developed a fearsome crush on this British bird. Yes, she was ruined by her association with the Stones and Mick J and all the drugs she ingested. She was a gorgeous young lady, and at a time when everybody was smoking lots of grass, shooting smack, eating acid. We are old folks now and trying to hide from the Ol' Reaper.

I’m a Catholic. Today is Palm Sunday and, as in almost every Sunday, I went to Mass. In the offertory, the canticle took me by surprise. But this melody… this melody is As Tears Go By!! - I exclaimed to myself. Of course the lyrics were different, and sung in Portuguese, but I can assure you the melody works wonderfully as a church canticle. BYW, I will always prefer the Rolling Stones’s cover, Marianne’s version is the original, although the song was composed by the Stones. But Mick and Marianne will always be in our memory as one of the most iconic couples of the 60’s.
Which version of this song is better Marianne's or the Stones?.I don't think it matters a wit which one is better when both are outstanding. Better in this case I think is strictly personal and subjective anyways.
I noticed you didn't mention Kieth Richards. But then again, Kieth looks like he died 20 yrs. ago. It's amazing that he and Mick are still "rockin" after 50+ yrs.

I was born in 1954, best time to live in a great country, grew up on a small dairy farm, didnt have much money but I have good memories that cannot be replaced and others much younger than I will never realize.
Snap! It was an era for bon viveurs and hippydom. I was at the Isle of Wight fest and hitched to Greece aged fifteen. Everyone was addressed as man.
Cool Steven. We must be about the same age and grew up on family dairy farms. Yes, we are incredibly fortunate to have been born in the second half of the 20th century in the USA. Truly a golden age.
1954 was a very good year. This 70 yo lady has always loved this song.
It was a tougher life. Food awful. Always cold in winter. But did we have fun. Never a dull or boring day. It was go go go. We were all slim with energy never burdened by being

Yes and the media will print anything for a buck, whether true or not, no matter how much it hurts someone.
You must've been trapped in the Pop Teen Bubble.
I like the Rolling Stones music, but what was done to her was wrong. I blame the media also. They don't care whose life they destroy to make a buck.

@@tapiola61 I definitely agree.
Later, done by the stones ,became a mutch bigger hit, what you mean "Machoism"?
I learned to play this on the Guitar when I was 12 when it first came out. Brings back lots of Memories.

BEAUTIFUL SONG AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL AND VOICE , THE MUSIC WAS SO GREAT THEN!!!!!!!!
At 14 in 1964 I had such a teenage crush on Marianne Faithfull.
DIDN'T WE ALL?
I was 11 with my sister when we met Marianne after her gig. My sister chatted with her for a bit, Marianne invited us to join her for coffee in a cafe. It was late, so we had to get home.
I will never forget how sweet she was and how beautiful. Also she had a lovely velvety speaking voice. Of course I was smitten. A few years later newspapers ran salacious stories of how during a drug bust at Keith Richards house, she was found naked, still with a mars bar inside her.
The story of the mars bar was later found to be invented by journalists. It however was retold a thousand times and for a young innocent, teenage boy had quite a disturbing impact.
The British tabloid press were the lowest of the low.
Freddie Starr ate my hamster was another lie the press made up.
They still are the lowest of the low.
I believe this is what ruined her career and drove her to lifelong addiction. Mick Jagger and the rest of them got off Scott free, and never stood beside her. Marianne Faithfull said that she had just come out of the bathtub, and I believe she was wrapped in a fur blanket when the raid took place.
I agree
Mmmmm I'm 72 and remember this song when it came out. Such great memories of days gone bye
❤❤
This song, and this woman, were as much a part of "The Swingin' Sixties" as the Beatles. What an iconic song.
I am 77 and never ever heard the term "Swinging Sixties".
Beautiful Song , Lovely Voice 🌹I Was a Teenager when This Song Came Out , I Remember It Well They were The Best Of Times Back Then !😌
Yes, I was 18 when this came out, beautiful, beautiful. If only I could go back to that time, irrespective of the fog in winter, ice on the inside of your bedroom window and not having much, it was a great time to be alive.
I lived in an old farmhouse in 1976 and it had snow on the inside windowsill! We were very fortunate to live in a time with such outstanding music!

Interesting how this melancholy song brings out people's memories from a bygone era. It's such a masterpiece. Keith? Mick?
I was 17 in 1964, if only I could go back in time! My mate's girlfriend loaned me her Stones LP and I was hooked, still play their old music regularly. England was a great place to live, we never had the troubles we are suffering today, even though we were not well off.

My dad, my 5-1/2 year old brother, a friend of his and I (about five weeks away from my 9th birthday) were riding in my dad's friend's convertible enroute home from a toy store, where my Dad (R.I.P.) bought us our first two wheeled bicycles as early Christmas presents (so that we could learn to ride them before Winter set in).
The car radio was tuned to Boston's WBZ (at the time a top-40 station), and as we were headed home (the top was down although it was a cool evening in the Boston area, where I still reside), disc jockey Bruce Bradley played this record right after the 8 P.M. hourly newscast ended.
To this day, I associate this record with the evening when my brother and I got our first bikes.
I Was 5 yrs old way back in 1964!?
Beautiful memory and well-written. We were very lucky to grow up with such beautiful music.
Very cool! You have an amazing memory!
great story
@@rickypatterson1321 Me too, in Glasgow, Scotland.
I was born in 1950, 14 when this came out (on a 45rpm) and remember it just like yesterday. It still stirs fond memories of the greatest music era ever, 60's & 70's. Music provided time stamps to all that was happening in our world that we grew up in as "Boomers"! 🎵🎶☮🥂
Boomers destroyed the planet with their greed and selfishness.
I was born in 54 too.
Brilliant times for everything including music.
Very mature song written by Jagger & Richards when they were young men. One of my favourite songs of all time. Grand parent now & love the lyrics & sentiments of the song. A timeless classic. The 60’s were truly magical.
Its nostalgia 100%.. to those years, to when you were young, lyrics are vage, so you can imagine your own story. Marianne was very young and beautifull in 1964..
Back when we had good music. I miss the 60's.
There's great music now, just not going to be pushed on tv and radio for you. Bands on youtube with tons of talent. I often find my favorite musical acts have less than 60k subscribers on youtube, but when I go to their concerts they are sold out with 2000-3000+ venues.
❤❤❤ que hermosas voces había en aquellos días, muy bonita 💕 ella
My girlfriend went to the same school in Reading as Marianne Faithfull. In 1964 or 1965 we went to their school fate and it was the same date as Marianne sang “As tears go by” on Top of the Pops. We managed to find a TV at the fate and watched her perform. Many years later in about 1991 I saw her in Auckland, New Zealand
Sweet and angelic. She ended up living a hard life, poor thing.
Her beauty was astounding.!
She's so beautiful & love her at that
This was one of the first songs written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The Stones manager, Andrew Oldham, gave it to a singer he also managed named Marianne Faithfull, who released it in 1964. It was going to be the B-side of her first single, but the record company decided to make it the A-side and it became her first hit. The Stones recorded it a year later. Faithfull became Mick Jagger's girlfriend in 1966. Their tumultuous relationship ended 3 years later.
What a time to be alive!
The best, I lived through the British Invasion of music.
It was! 😁
Yes, there will never be another like it.
Never realized how good I had it back in 1964.
Don't we all! I was a lost and lonely teenager when that came out. Survived Viet Nam and made a good life! But I'd do it all over again!
Yes..Easy Living. Good Economy..Great Music..
me either dude
I’m 70 and YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGT OUT OF MY MOUTH✌️🎶🌈
Born in '61. I've been through a lot. You've been through much more. Any time is a great time to be alive.
Pretty lady and beautiful voice 💕💕
Incomparable love it love the sentiments she was so beautiful
Poignant and poetic: "I see smiling faces 🙂🙂🙂... but not for me." How tragic, if you envision it, the loneliness, the longing for love, mere human companionship, even a directed smile.
She has some of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
What a magical time it was. I was 15 and always waited by the radio for the Top Ten Show. Pure Joy!
The 60's, the best music. No autotune!
Pure raw talent!
She barely moves, and yet she's mesmerizing. ♡
Ha ! Yeah , not much of a stage show , but still beautiful .
Never seen anyone so still. Was she drugged?
@@lawdogwales5921 Mick slipped her a couple Rorer 714 's.
@@waldoparsnip1025 lol
Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful performance of a beautiful song.
I heard this song on my parents radio in their '63 Rangoon Red Ford Galaxie 500 XL. I was 6 years old. Now I'm 65. Time is evil, it flies by at super sonic speed. When I hear this, it brings me back to that time riding in the back seat of that huge Red car with the windows rolled down, my Dad driving 60 mph(that was high speed), loving the wind in the car. Mom wore a scarf around her perfectly saloon done Poofed up hair. The best years ... I love old Fords and Mopars, what my family owned... they owned one Chevy, only one..... electrical and cooling issues with that '68 Impala, gone in a year and a half. Sorry this song brings back long ago memories. Be safe all, Be blessed.
Sounds like 'The ballad of Lucy Jordan'!
When I heard this song for the first time, it was being sung by the Rolling Stones, but, a few years later, when I heard it being sung by a female voice, I started to like that interpretation more coming from a female voice and not a male one. Now, I learned that at that time I was hearing the voice of the singer Marianne Faithfull. Sad, but a beautiful and unforgettable song.
🥰👏👏👏
Lindas, cantora e música!!! Ronnie Von gravou uma versão que ficou tão linda quanto essa. Curti muito, na minha adolescência!❤❤❤
Remember listening to this on the radio in 1964, when I was ten.
Eu tinha 1ano 😂
I remember seeing Marianne Faithful as Ophelia at the Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London. Her padded feet running softly as she got on stage, long silky hair and dark eye make up made her other worldly and mesmerisingly beautiful. She was on heroin at that time. It was the hippy era. She did go wild under Mick Jaggers spell!
She is fantastic .
I was 17 when this song came out.Can’t believe it’s been that long ago.
I was just born in 1964. Now at age 60 and the first time hearing this version. Rollingstones were one of my favorite bands growing up.
Love Marianne Faithfull she deserves more hits
At least there's a video clip of a wonderful time in music history . This song will always be played in years to come and someone will appreciate how innocent life was in the sixties.
I was born in the Netherlands in 1959.
It seems to me I have heard this beautifull song over and over again...😮❤
I have always loved this song. So delicately sung by her.
Раньше песни и исполнители были гораздо выше чем сейчас!!!
Wowa 1960’s classic, a masterpiece, a beautiful girl with a pleasant voice, love it
Beautiful song, I was sixteen at the time she released it. I had a wonderful life in the sixties and early 70’s. I think 69 was the peak for me.
It’s not possible to explain to youngsters today how amazing the 60’s were compared to life today.
❤ Marianne Faithfull - always underated
Was 9 yrs. Old always had my transistor radio listening to great songs like this❤
In those days, music was all we had, so performers and audiences invested much more of themselves. Too many other shiny things today, so songs get swamped..
Marianne was so beautiful. I read her autobiography and her drug addiction was brutal.
Gorgeous lady , voice of an angel.
Edible.
I can remember being a 14 year old boy when this came out and dreamed of having Marianne one side and Françoise Hardy one the other. Wonderful music and a young boys dream.😊😊.
So lovely song, 1960s were awesome!
Many of us have the same memories and emotions about the songs - especially Marianne's version of As Tears Go By. It wasn't that the sixties were idyllic; we faced the war in Viet Nam and the threat of nuclear annihilation. But we had such incredible music as an antidote. I feel sad for subsequent generations because they have similar evil threats facing them, but I just don't see the same kind of moving music. We had As Tears Go By; the next group of young people got Broken English. It's a good song, but we definitely got the better of that deal. Much of what kids have today is vulgar, coarse, repetitious, and devoid of any subtlety - leaves nothing to the young and innocent imagination. We were so lucky in our time; the soundtrack of our lives was golden.
When we are happy we enjoy the music , but when we're sad we understand the lyrics .
Met Marianne very briefly at a party in the Notting Hill area of London in the early '90s. She seemed grounded and warm.
Не приземлённой , земной.Значение слова "приземлённая" относится к людям меркантильным без " бога и любви в сердце" 🤝
@@michaelashkelony3048 That's mistaken. Clearly you're not a native speaker of English, so understandable. 'Down to earth' in English means honest and sensible. It has nothing to do with mercantilism.
I'm the same age as Marianne and when I first saw this on TV I instantly fell in love
Yes....she is beyond beautiful...but had such a tragic life.......sings like an angel.......
Along wth a million of us. England's answer to Francoise Hardy.
Marianne had such beautiful eyes.
It's obvious why Mick Jagger (and every guy of that era) was in love with her!
Ohhhh,take me back to those days when music was like this.She looked and sounded fab,no swearing,screeching,jumping around hardly dressed.She just sat and sang a beautiful song which I still love in 2023.Pity she chose the downwards spiral with drugs etc,it trashed her looks and voice.Still this version is the best and a real classicm❤🏴👍
This is a very innocent and beautiful rendition, from a time in her life when things had not yet gone so wrong. And then you look at the Marianne of "Broken English." And you understand how awful life can become when you've made all the wrong choices and been used by all the wrong people. And it makes you very, very sorry for her.
The Hollies big hit Carrie Ann was actually about her. Everyone was in love with her.
50s - 60s...the Golden Age of America...
I was 17 in '64, the same age as Marianne. I have to admit I developed a fearsome crush on this British bird. Yes, she was ruined by her association with the Stones and Mick J and all the drugs she ingested. She was a gorgeous young lady, and at a time when everybody was smoking lots of grass, shooting smack, eating acid. We are old folks now and trying to hide from the Ol' Reaper.
Sem palavras incrível ouvindo 💚🎧🇧🇷 janeiro de 2023 alguém por aí da um joinha 👍🥰
👍👍
👍anos dourados, não existia malicias, não usavam de nudez para se apresentarem, cantavam e gravavam lindas melodias e não essas porcarias e poluição sonoras, hoje em dia se apresentam semi nuas, com vestimentas lingerie para chamar atenção cantando nada com nada!! tatuando até o fio fó dançando lixo de funk incomodando com som alto a vizinhança!!.
1964 war ich auch 17 , und ich höre diesen wunderbaren Song der schönen Marianne Faithfull immer noch gerne !
Cool era and they had more stylish clothes.
God bless.
Serene, cool, lovely Marianne! Watched this on TV, then at 5. When I wanted to be older!
An icon for a generation.
The youth listens to it nowdays. Cheer up! 🥳🎈🎉
I have been listening to his songs on my playlist back in the days so good. How are you Susan ?

THE STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL GOD GIFTED MARIANNE A BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC RENDITION OF A BEAUTIFUL SONG 🎵 BY THE LOVELY LADY 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
The original and the best. The Stones destroyed it❤❤
What a beautiful song and girl.😊😊😊
I’m a Catholic. Today is Palm Sunday and, as in almost every Sunday, I went to Mass.
In the offertory, the canticle took me by surprise. But this melody… this melody is As Tears Go By!! - I exclaimed to myself.
Of course the lyrics were different, and sung in Portuguese, but I can assure you the melody works wonderfully as a church canticle.
BYW, I will always prefer the Rolling Stones’s cover, Marianne’s version is the original, although the song was composed by the Stones.
But Mick and Marianne will always be in our memory as one of the most iconic couples of the 60’s.
Hi Teresa💐💐
Brought back wonderful memories. Thank you for posting.
watching her is spell binding, beautiful face and beautiful voice
This is one of the good songs composed by Rolling Stones... Mick Jagger and Keith Richard in the '60s... great song always never dies...
Such a beautiful girl and singer.
She had a greatest hits LP l got from my older bro Dave...awesome still to this day
I know the Stones wrote and recorded this but this is such a unique version i prefer this.
She recorded it first. Only after she had a hit with it that The Stones recorded it.
Just bought the vinyl amazing!
This version is The one and only!
Я знаю эту песню 57лет, а эту версию- впервые!
Which version of this song is better Marianne's or the Stones?.I don't think it matters a wit which one is better when both are outstanding. Better in this case I think is strictly personal and subjective anyways.
Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful performance of a beautiful song.
Oh boy I was crazy in love with this young lady all those years ago. Very nostalgic🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I was 7 years old when this song came out in 1964
I'm amazed she and Mick Jagger are still alive.
I noticed you didn't mention Kieth Richards. But then again, Kieth looks like he died 20 yrs. ago. It's amazing that he and Mick are still "rockin" after 50+ yrs.
The singer is good and the song is good, but what really blows me away is the standard of musicianship.
Like Blackpool rock the songs of the 60's are part of me and always will be, they define me.
She was so beatiful
The ultimate, perfect 60s girl...
Bringing it back so we can enjoy.♥️😇🎶Thanks.2023 still enjoy hearing this song.
