Experiencing the Moody and Mysterious 'Paint It Black' for the First Time : Rolling Stones Reaction

We listened to "Paint It Black" for the first time and wow, what a unique and captivating song! Mick Jagger described it as a "Turkish song", but scholars have noted its Eastern-sounding phrases actually evoke the Middle East more than India. The sitar intro played by Brian Jones and Jagger's droning vocals create a hypnotic atmosphere, while Keith Richards' bolero-inspired guitar and Wyman's heavy bass drive the song forward. It's been classified as raga rock, psychedelia, and psychedelic rock, and is considered one of the Stones' attempts to transcend their blues-based rock and roll conventions. The lyrics, which use color-based metaphors, describe the grief and despair of someone who has lost a partner. There are alternative interpretations, from a bad trip on drugs to the Vietnam War, but music scholar James E. Perone argues that the lyrics establish a concept for the album Aftermath, which explores the darkness of the psyche around the theme of love, desire, and obsession. "Paint It Black" is an example of the Stones' development as artists, enriching their blues-derived hard rock with occult instrumental colors. Christgau praised Jagger's influence on the band's artistic identity and his lyrical power, subtlety, and wit, ranking him and Richards as the second best melody composers in rock after Lennon and McCartney. 00:00 INTRO 01:44 REACTION
