She will always be remembered.
(The Stones also cut the record in 1965.)
This was the first song Mick and Keith had written, Faithfull recalled in thebook.
Ill be back in two hours.
They came up with the song called As Time Goes By.
Andrew knew a lot about how songs were constructed.
Although it was still in a very primitive state, he knew he could fix it.
There was another problem: the tide.
He handed me a scrawled lyric sheet and I went back into the studio and did it.
As soon as I heard thecor anglaisplaying the opening bars I knew it was going to work.
After a couple of takes it was done.
Andrew came down from Olympus and gave me a hug.
Congratulations, darling, Youve got yourself a number six.'
I still think its a beautiful song.
Im still very grateful that Mick and Keith gave it to me and wrote it for me.
It hit me during one of my moments of clarity, which Ive told you seem to happen periodically.
That moment of clarity was when I got clean.
