I'd Like To Dial Your Number
Marianne Faithfull · Decca Years 1965-1967 [2007]
But I don't remember it so well.
I'd like to see you again
'cause I don't remember when
I said I wouldn't see you again
Been so long I don't remember when.
I'd like to kiss you one more time
Because I feel it might be different now.
I'd like to love you one more time
Because the last respect was mine.
Although I didn't have the time
Been so long just thought one more time.
So I'd like to dial your number again,
Seems that I remember it so well.
I'd like to see you again
'cause I don't remember when
I said I wouldn't see you again
Been so long, can you tell me when ?

Released on Marianne Faithfull's 2007 compilation Decca Years 1965-1967, this track exemplifies the intimate, confessional pop she championed during her early career. Recorded in the mid-1960s, the song reflects the era's shift toward personal storytelling and acoustic-driven arrangements, characteristic of Faithfull's work alongside artists like The Beatles. The recording captures her distinctive vocal style, blending vulnerability with a melodic sensibility that defined her transition from folk to pop. As part of her broader discography from that period, the track stands as a testament to her ability to convey complex emotions through simple, direct instrumentation, cementing her reputation as a pioneering voice in British music history.
