The song was about a funeral, his girlfriend died. " I see a line of cars and they're all painted black. With flowers and my love, both never to come back.

It should be obvious, but I think at least half of those reacting to this song never catch on to that (very sad) lyric. I'm not sure our reactors here, realize it either. To me, this is one of the very best recordings the Stones have ever done.

@@solitarybee3714That’s true for me. I was around when this song was released, but was only 11 or 12. I dug the music, but the meaning of the lyrics didn’t sink in until many years later. It’s really a masterful piece of songwriting.

@@graemey I kept waiting for them to comment on the lyrics too. I have to remind myself that they are hearing the song for the first time and there’s a lot to process. The music really is great and it starts before the lyrics. I’m with gsparkman. I was four when this came out in 1966 but I don’t remember being aware of it until I was in high school or college. I loved the sound of it and thought he was a spoilsport who just wanted everyone to be as miserable as he was. (I struggled with depression for many years so I could relate.) I would sometimes catch enough of the lyrics to wonder what had happened to “you”, whoever he was talking to, but you can’t hit rewind when it’s on the radio and we didn’t have the luxury of being able to look up the lyrics or meaning on the internet.

No one is to blame for the culture that surrounds them as they grow. The important thing is you've discovered a very rich musical world; one that will forever enrich your lives. Try "Wild Horses" or "You Can't Always Get What You Want" if you want a Stone's ballad. Or "Tumblin Dice" and "Sympathy for the Devil" for some upbeat suggestions. They have so many. Thank you for doing this one!

I’m 69, so obviously grew up with the Stones. They wrote some pretty dark stuff, especially in the early days. Sympathy For The Devil and Gimme Shelter are most popular on the Tube. Gimme Shelter for reasons that I and many more would point out if you reacted to it. ‘Wait for Merry’s voice to crack.’

The instrument you're hearing is a Sitar which is used in a lot of Indian music. "Paint It Black" song was written by Mick Jaggar and Keith Richards after being influenced by the Beatles "Norwegian Wood" in which George Harrison introduced the Sitar into their music on the 1965 "Rubber Soul" album after returning from their time spent in India. Brian Jones of the Stones had some discussions with George and being a multi-instrumentalist himself started playing around with the Sitar more and developed a melodic line that eventually morphed into "Paint It Black". Jagger and Richards wrote the Lyrics and the basic chord progressions. Oh, and Sam mentioned she's heard "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" That was their first hit in America in 1965.

Unfortunately my wife passed away last year, and it wasn't long before I realized this song encapsulated many of my emotions, from the deep sadness/despair to the rage/anger that this would happen so soon in our lives. I'd read a little about how this song was constructed. And since then I've had more regard (respect?) for Mick, Keith, Ron, Charlie, Bill and Brian's work. Considering some of their other hits, I see why they're ranked as one of the greatest blues/rock and roll bands. I usually don't post my personal 'issues' but their discussion prompted me. The instrument that struck me in this song is the sitar, something Brian played for the song.
