In My Time Of Sorrow
Marianne Faithfull · Marianne Faithfull [2008]
In my time of feeling bad
Oh, what I'd give just to relive
All the good times that I've had
In my time of sorrow
In my time of feeling alone
There was a time I could ease my mind
With thoughts of just being on my own
Changes of life
I'm going through
Keep me from doing
What I know I should do
In my time of sorrow
In my time when teardrops fall
I can't tell you why, I don't want to try
But the time has come for me to say farewell
In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow
In My Time Of Sorrow
Released on Marianne Faithfull's 2008 compilation, 'In My Time Of Sorrow' stands as a poignant example of her early work, blending folk and pop sensibilities with a deeply personal vocal delivery. The track reflects the emotional vulnerability characteristic of her debut era, capturing the raw intensity of her songwriting before she became a global icon. Recorded during a period where Faithfull was establishing her signature style, the song serves as a testament to her ability to convey complex narratives through melody and voice alone. It remains a significant piece in her discography, often cited alongside other early hits that defined her transition from actress to celebrated musician. The recording captures the essence of 1960s British folk-pop, showcasing her unique ability to intertwine storytelling with melodic structure.
