    The matching outfits were not planned but were a perfect aesthetic for this song. Paint it Black by the Rolling stones is Burch's favorite and thought it could be Alexis's theme song. @TheRollingStones #rollingstones #stones #paintitblack #60smusic

      From what I remember Alexis is a Wednesday Addams Fan, and in the 1st episode of Wednesday where she is playing her Cello on the Roof, she is doing a Version of Paint it Black, played on the Cello it’s such a Great Cover!
      I think she does a Metallica piece also?

    Brian Jones' sitar work on this song is what makes it so different than most Stones songs. Even though the song is not about the Vietnam war, it's easy to see why Vietnam vets were drawn to the song because they experienced the death and depression that the song represents. I'm 66 but these guys make me feel young and it's hard to believe they are touring again in 2024, even though they are in their late 70's and early 80's. 🙏✌️

    When the videogame "Twisted Metal Black" came out, they broke the formula with the title by not numbering it. Before the game came out I wondered why they went with Black instead of 4.
    I walked over to Walmart to buy it when it came out and as I walked home I had a thought, "wouldn't it be cool if they incorporated Paint it Black into the game somehow?" I had really become a fan of the song from previously watching the movie "Stir of Echoes." Almost obsessed haha.
    Got home and popped the game into my playstation and that oh so familiar guitar rift from the beginning of the song came out of the tv. I literally had shivers come across my body. It was perfect.

    Band member Brian Jones, who died tragically in 1969 at 27, is a powerful creative influence on these early Stones albums. A multitalented artist. Could play any instrument he picked up.

    In the beginning, the Stones only covered blues classics. At one point, their then manager locked Keith and Mick in a room and would not let them out until they had written an original song. Satisfaction was the result. The Beatles did covers too but were writing their own songs from the beginning. The Beatles and the Stones were pals too. They coordinated the releases of their records so as not to impact the other’s sales. Keith Richards is on record as saying John and George were “lovely guys”. So much for their rivalry.

I also watched that show every week, and loved it at the time, mainly because the theme song set the mood for the show to follow. I bought the box set of the show a few years ago, and they didn't have the license to use Painted for the opening theme, so replaced it, the show doesn't hit quite as hard without it.

Pepper in six years and recorded it with a four track recorder. Mind blowing progress in such a short period. Also Alexis black and white are considered neutrals with red , yellow & blue as primary colors. Orange , green & purple are secondary colors.

    Sitar is an indian musical instrument. shared from wiki :- The sitar is a plucked stringed instrument, originating from the Indian subcontinent, used in Hindustani classical music. The instrument was invented in medieval India, flourished in the 18th century, and arrived at its present form in 19th-century India. Khusrau Khan, an 18th-century figure of the Mughal Empire has been identified by modern scholarship as the inventor of the sitar. According to most historians, he developed the sitar from the setar, an Iranian instrument of Abbasid or Safavid origin. Another view supported by a minority of scholars is that Khusrau Khan developed it from Veena.
    Used widely throughout the Indian subcontinent, the sitar became popularly known in the wider world through the works of Ravi Shankar, beginning in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The advent of Psychedelic culture during the mid- to late 1960s created a trend for the use of the sitar in Western popular music, with the instrument appearing on tracks by bands such as the Beatles, the Doors, the Rolling Stones and others.

    Coping with the death of a family member or friend was a sad reality for many during the Vietnam War, and death and grief show up clearly in the first verse of "Paint it Black," in the form of a funeral. In the expressionistic world of "Paint it Black," death is just as much a part of day-to-day life as a "newborn baby." That is the circle of life; as Mick Jagger laments, "It just happens every day." In the song, the narrator stoically looks on as a hearse and the other black cars in a funeral procession carry "flowers" and his "love" to a cemetery for burial. At first, the narrator of "Paint it Black" seems like just a young man struggling with depression and grief after the death of his girlfriend. Like a moody teenager, he wants to paint everything black to match the way he feels inside. This desire for absolute blackness peaks in the song's outro when the singer goes into a full-on temper tantrum, expressing his fervent desire to see the "sun blotted out of the sky" in a fully encapsulating apocalyptic darkness of borderline Biblical proportions. Is this really just your typical teenage angst? This might be the voice of a teenager struggling to get over the loss of his first love, but there may be more to it. The narrator might be another depressed civilian kid, but he could also be a young soldier just returned home from Vietnam. After witnessing so much death in the war, observing another funeral back at home may be enough to push him over the edge. For him, the hearse might be taking much more than the body of a loved one - it may be taking away his ability to love and feel altogether.

    Lovely reaction, but I'm biased, I have developed an addiction to Rolling Stones 😁

    This song was used in Westworld. Season one there is a western style version lots of strings, player piano while the mariposa is being robbed. In season 2 in Asiaworld it is played again with a eastern style while the Shogun is harrassing the Mariposa...

    My personal opinion is that there is no darker, extreme lyrics than “I wanna see the Sun blotted out from the sky”.
