"As Tears Go By" is a mid-1960s song written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Andrew Loog Oldham, and it was a hit recording for both the Rolling Stones and Marianne Faithfull. Here is my cover of it with the Yazoo Ramblers, which I posted to the channel on May 26, 2026.
Our version is a short one, under a minute.
Why I picked it
This one is from my first Rolling Stones album. The tears are still flowing by.
