Number [ edit ]
As Tears Go By was one of the first compositions by Jagger and Richards. The Rolling Stones had in their time mostly played songs of others. Said in an interview in 1992, Keith Richards that their manager Andrew Loog Oldham two of them in a kitchen penned with instructions not to come before they had a song. The result was called As Time Goes By . However, there was a song that was called so; that was famous from the movie Casablanca in 1942. Therefore Oldham changed the title, As Tears Go By. [1]

It is an atypical number for The Stones. It is not a rhythm and blues, but a ballad . The narrator looks into the song with a certain melancholy to playing children.
