You’ll come running back (I won’t have to worry no more) You’ll come running back (I don’t always said you would) You’ll come running back (said you would, baby) It’s a relatively simple arrangement: the verses are calm and reflective, and so all of the action is the choruses, with Mick interjecting so much it’s almost as if he doesn’t really believe it: 2īoth versions, of course, feature a primal Vox organ, played by Ian Stewart, and are a basic slow blues featuring the whole band on the chorus humblebragging about how they can wait for their partner to sow her wild oats.
The second version, recorded at Chess was slightly longer, tighter, and featured Keith’s guitar solo at the beginning of the song, and ended up on the U.K.’s The Rolling Stones No. The original version, recorded in London in June, 1964, was shorter and more raggedy, and de-emphasized Keith’s lead guitar during the monolog in the middle. Like New Order’s “ Ceremony,” there are two distinct recordings of “Time is On My Side”, and like “Ceremony,” while I like the first recording slightly better, it’s the second version that’s better-known these days, which, as we’ll learn, is kinda weird.
