15 Oct 01 - 10:07 PM (#573018) Subject: RE: BS: as tears go by: the rolling stones From: Allan C. If you say it is, 53, that's good enough for me. I really don't give a rat's ass as to what the lineage of a song is or the label people like to put on it if I really like where it takes me. This, from one who has a deep and abiding respect for songs that have great, long histories, may seem to be a divergence from the straight and narrow. But that is not a path I have ever followed very well anyway. |

15 Oct 01 - 10:10 PM (#573020) Subject: RE: BS: as tears go by: the rolling stones From: IvanB Is this the song that starts 'It is the evening of the day?' If so, though I don't know the Stones' version, I first heard it by a 'folksy' sounding female singer, so I'd probably consider it as much folk as any contemporary singer/songwriter song. |

15 Oct 01 - 10:20 PM (#573026) Subject: RE: BS: as tears go by: the rolling stones From: Allan C. Ivan, it was Marianne Faithfull in 1965. I believe the song was given to her as a gift by the Stones if I remember the story right. |

I keep meaning to take it to my local Folk Club as the "Song of the Month" So I think it's folky enough. There again if you look in my record collection by quantity, #1 Steeleye Span #2 Rolling Stones. If you have singer songwriter types where you play, WHY could you not sing this song. JohnB |

16 Oct 01 - 01:05 PM (#573457) Subject: RE: BS: as tears go by: the rolling stones From: mousethief I kinda like the Stones' version. It's so very different from so many of their other songs: violins and all. Who'da thunk? For that reason alone I like it, and the words are excellent as well (I'm having a hard time placing the tune for the 3rd verse... anybody got a wav or mp3 or midi?) Alex |

17 Oct 01 - 02:02 PM (#574289) Subject: RE: BS: as tears go by: the rolling stones From: M.Ted This song was one of the "folkie" standards back in the late sixties early seventies--meaning that it was a song that everyone with a guitar seemed to know and like, and could play--I certainly remember playing it a lot--Judging by the signs, it's been around for nearly two generations, its origins are begining to be obscured, and there are even variants of the lyrics, so it has a lot of the qualities of a folk or traditional song-- We ought to make a list of songs like this-- |

19 Oct 01 - 05:59 AM (#575391) Subject: RE: BS: as tears go by: the rolling stones From: Bernard ...and he was spelt correctly!! ;o) The line between 'pop' and 'folk' music is vague... probably because what we now call 'folk' was the 'pop' music of its time. I perform traditional folk, music hall, and Stones, Beatles, Mamas & Papas, the list goes on. Sticking a label on a song isn't the criterion - whether it can stand the test of time is much more reliable. Last night at the Railway Singers' Night, Julie and I sang 'In My Life' (Lennon/McCartney), and it was well received. Earlier in the evening I had sung the Golden Vanity (Child), and John (GeordieBroon) sang 'John Barleycorn' (which he sang on Mudcat radio), and various others had sung songs from a wide variety of sources... So 'As Tears Go By' is a valid song simply because it was written well enough for people to still want to sing it thirty-odd years after it was written. |

To be fair, when I first heard Kill The Wabbit I had no notion of Richard Wagner. |
