Tenderness
Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull
Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine.
Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness,
Tenderness.
Tenderness,
Tenderness.
It's funny how romance fails us, giving way to love.
You look around, feel your freedom ¡º you're a slave to love.
Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness ¡º spirit moves me
Tenderness ¡º try to show me
Tenderness ¡º come on show me
Tenderness ¡º feelings grow and change.
I've noticed how few emotions stand the test of time.
Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine.
Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness ¡º really moves me
Tenderness ¡º try to show me
Tenderness ¡º come on show me
Tenderness ¡º feelings grow and change.
Don't think that because I don't know what's happening
That I ain't achin' ...
I never thought you would be showin'
Just what you been takin'.
It's not as simple as that
Don't think I don't know just when my heart's breakin' ?
I ain't chosen ¡º I ain't chosen
I ain't chosen ¡º chosen ¡º chosen ¡º chosen ¡º chosen.

Tenderness - Marianne Faithfull
Released in 1966, Marianne Faithfull's 'Tenderness' stands as a defining track of the British Invasion era, blending soulful R&B influences with her distinctive vocal delivery. The song captures the raw emotion of romantic longing, characteristic of mid-60s pop recordings that prioritized lyrical intimacy over polished production. Faithfull's performance on this recording showcases her ability to convey vulnerability and desire, establishing her reputation as a serious musical artist rather than merely a film actress. As part of her early discography, the track remains a staple of her catalogue, often cited as a prime example of the era's cross-genre appeal where American soul meets British pop sensibilities. Its enduring popularity reflects its timeless exploration of human connection, cementing its place in the history of 1960s music.
