‘As Tears Go By’, a ballad by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, contrasts the Stones’ rough image, showcasing emotional depth and melancholy, later popularized by Marianne Faithfull’s hit version.
In 1966, The Rolling Stones released ‘Con Le Mie Lacrime’, a version of ‘As Tears Go By’ sung in Italian. This reimagined rendition featured a baroque arrangement, showcasing a harpsichord and a unique backing track. Although it gained less success than the original, it resonated with Italian fans, leading to notable live performances in Italy.
