"I see a red door and want it painted black" is one of the simplest lines, but it so beautifully and succinctly foretells the story this song brings to us.
Before I get started, I want everyone to give a round of applause to Brian Jones. This is HIM as is "Like a Rainbow". Such a master musician. Sad he died in 1969.
Agree. I find weird that most reactors miss the obvious reference to the funeral procession and come to some idiotic explanations for the lyrics. Particularly painful when they are READING the damn thing from the lyrics in the official video.
@@Imman1s To be fair in the video the lyrics flash by three or four words at a time. Syed sensibly puts the whole of the lyrics up on screen, which gives him a massive head start.
@@Imman1s - I've found that only about one out of five or so of the people reacting the this song grasp the funeral procession reference. In fairness though, it didn't register with me either the first couple of times that I heard it, as I was too distracted by the song's unique sound. The one thing though that I think SyedRewinds gets wrong, is his interpretation of the line: "If I look hard enough Into the setting sun My love will laugh with me Before the morning comes" He sees this as something more hopeful, but I actually view this as perhaps the darkest line of all in the song....As him watching the sun go down, and hoping that he dies before morning, so that he can reunite with his woman in heaven.
Although you suggested one of the verses had a hint of hope, it could also be interpreted as the exact opposite. The character is suffering grief and deeply depressed throughout the rest of the song so it seems unlikely it is a change of heart, the setting sun is often used as a metaphor for the last stages of life and it could be him having suicidal thoughts about going to join his loved one.
additionally, if you look long enough into the setting sun you go blind, and your world is black. But yeah, totally sounds like he's looking towards death hopefully here.
I enjoy the reactions especially the lyrical interpretations. I've been listening to these songs for 50 years but never take the time to read, much less think what they mean. It is nice to get something besides how it sounds after all these years. Keep it up.
That's partially why I like reaction channels. I've never cared much for interpreting lyrics. It's just not important to me to do. Reactors help me gain a whole new appreciation for music I've been listening to for years.
The rhythmic strumming you heard is known as a bolero. A lot of 60s-70s rock bands would incorporate the rhythm into a song. The rhythm is taken from Ravel's Bolero which, if you haven't listened to, is worth hearing at least once. No lyrics, you just let the music wash over you.
Excellent analytical skill. You understand what this song is about. The long line of black cars and the flowers and are part of a funeral. The leader of the Rolling Stones was Brian Jones, he formed the band. Brian's girlfriend died (I believe from an overdose) and this song is about his grief. She was so full of life so it was a big shock when she died. Brian played the sitar. It was such a loss to the world when Brian died due to drugs in 1969.
And the best thing about that magnificent piece of music is it's the original Rolling Stones. And you were spot on guessing that it's a sitar providing that glorious melody line, played by Brian Jones. Keith Richards rhythm work in the epic outro is a perfect counterpoint to Jones' hypnotic sitar. In my opinion, "Paint It, Black" sits comfortably in the Stones top 10 songs and arguably top 5. In any spot. It's one of those songs that still gives me goosebumps 40 years after I first heard it.
Just one more reason they are often considered the worlds greatest Rock 'N' Roll Band. It's 56 years later and that song still catches your ear, and your mind. Rock On Glimmer Twins! Amelas One
Great work Syed. This has always been my favorite Stones song: so raw, such pain, such honesty. It is a true song of mourning, so rare yet so needed in modern western music. It tells of the times we hate God. Time heals the wounds as we understand what we have been given in the friends and lovers while they live.
Cool analysis 👍👍 This song reminds me of the TV show from the 80’s called Platoon. It was the soundtrack for the opening. A context to remember also is Vietnam. The following year would be the hippies Summer of Love. This is the year the Beatles would go psychedelic with Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. 😎🔥
The music from my high school days. FM radio was not in existence until 1967, so we had everything from THE BEACH, DYLAN, THE BEATLES, STONES, MOTOWN GROUPS, THE ANIMALS AND ON AND ON AND😊 ON.
I love this song. I am not a huge Stones fan, but my dad had a lot of their records and this was always my favorite as a kid, and the lyrics make me love it even more as an adult.
Wow, I grew up hearing this song, but I never really listened to the lyrics! It’a actually a pretty cool poem. I just love the Stones, because their songs never sound dated, unlike most of the other music that came out back then. They stay fresh because they _were_ doing their own thing. And shout-out to any band that stays together for a lifetime!
I agree with almost all of your lyrics analysis, particularly about the connection with a funeral and the passing of a loved one. The one lyric I hear differently is the one you find hopeful. I think staring into the setting sun and being with his lover implies that the singer is considering suicide, the one way he would be re-united with his lover. Love your analyses of all these songs, and really appreciate how you are taking deep dives into these fantastic artists. Keep up the great work!
Completely different but I at least often like "Sister Morphine" ( the song that is !)after having been cradled in the arms of the "sister" for a short while due to a fractured neck, and skull disconnect, I'd say they nailed it solidly, it just needs to be remembered that the "Sister is a sweet and comforting angel when the need is great, but if called on without need, or for amusement she is a destroyer of souls !
This guy has done Gimme Shelter , Sympathy for the Devil , Jumping jack flash , Paint it Black , each track , completely different , but full of energy , unique lyrics , unique crafting of songs ....and still they keep turning out gems...what a band
60’s rock had tremendous Eastern influences and we can thank the Beatles for that- especially George Harrison who studied sitar with Ravi Shankar and wrote Indian influenced songs - like Within And Without You.
...I see a line of cars and they're all painted black.. ( always gave me funeral imagary too ) Another great analysis. No other reaction channel comes close!
Not the first psychedelic song by one of the bands from the British invasion, since that distinction goes to the Kinks with “See My Friends” with it’s raga rock groove, but certainly the first mega hit of that kind of music.
I think the reason you get the cowboy vibe from this song is because of the rhythm you noticed the guitar playing towards the end. It's very reminiscent of the sound of horses hooves running, and is actually present from almost the very beginning of the song, but its not as obvious. If you listen to the song again from the beginning you can notice it pop out at various points.
The magnificent Rolling Stones used the Beatles for inspiration until around 1965 when they released the monster hit "I Can't Get No Satisfaction". After that - they knew they needed no one for inspiration. Then they became the gods of rock.
@@smartfreddy You're right... they used American blues artists... then they were inspired by the Beatles to be the ANTI-Beatles. That worked. Now, they are legends,
I always thought this was a great musical description of clinical depression. When one's brain is helplessly caught in a cycle of despair and the frustration that the entire world ignores those who are in such misery.
I think the funeral is a metaphor for something dying inside him. Because the rest of the lyrics are about internal darkness. Depression perhaps, or something yet darker?
Enjoying your channel. You've covered some classic, great bands. May I humbly request you listen to Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights," a fun and entertaining classic from the album Bat Out of Hell.
On this particular cut some people (unfairly in my estimation) accused them of copying The Beatles song "Norweigian Wood" where Harrison used a Sitar the year before this came out. '65 and '66 respectively. Nonsense, I say..If the songs resembled each other in any way aside for the used of the sitar maybe you could make a case, but no one could ever mistake one for the other..Totally different.
Bill Wyman and Brian Jones were really responsible for this song. Brian Jones plays the sitar on this track which is key to the Middle Eastern vibe as well as playing 12-string acoustic guitar, but it was Bill Wyman who came up with the riff while playing the bass pedals on a Hammond organ. Charlie Watts on drums, Keith Richards on electric guitar and Bill Wyman on bass. This song has endured for over 50 years and it sounds just as fresh as it did when first released.
He got the middle eastern influence there. That's Brian Jones all the way, check out the Master Musicians of Joujouka. Jones was one of the first to record them.
Brian Jones is the godfather of what we now call "World Music". His "Brian Jones Presents The Pipes Of Pan At Joujouka" is a marvelous field recording of The Master Musicians, done by Brian Jones (accompanied by his then lady, Suki Poiter disguised as a man) and the engineer, George Chkiantz, enhanced in the studio using various phasing effects. Brian really caught the essence of the music with his recording.
You talk about this song conjuring up a movie soundtrack, and it's true. It's been used more than once in movies and TV shows, usually related to the Vietnam War, which was going on at the time this song was written in 1966.
"If I look had enough into the setting sun" ....Contemplates ending himself to end the pain. "My love will laugh with me before the morning comes".... By ending himself he joins his lost love. Maybe I'm overinterpreting, but seems pretty spot on.
....which leads me to believe there is such a thing as Prophetic Truth, which I define as an image of Objective Truth that is totally dependent on the Observers place in the Space-Time Continuum
Thank you for your analysis, but to be honest I've listened to this song for years, it's meaning totally eludes me. I never gave it much thought given the fact I could never identify with a mutual theme related to my own life. Thanks you for your thoughts.
Kudos picking up on the Stones being fitting for movies. Many movies have used their music. Here's just a partial list: “Doom And Gloom” In Avengers: Endgame. ... “Gimme Shelter” In The Departed. ... “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction” In Apocalypse Now. ... “Sweet Virginia” In Knives Out. ... “Ruby Tuesday” In The Royal Tenenbaums. ... “Jumpin' Jack Flash” In Mean Streets. ... “Out Of Time” In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Casino (1995) "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" Beautiful Girls (1996) "Fool To Cry" Fallen (1998) "Time Is On My Side" Tropic Thunder (2008) "Sympathy for the Devil" Full Metal Jacket (1987) ... "Monkey Man," Goodfellas
There is no redemption in this song. It's black and stays black. The verse you think is optimistic is the guy contemplating suicide before the morning comes.
This is one of the better reactions videos to this song, and SyedRewinds interpreted nearly everything quite well.....There is one thing though that I think he gets wrong - his interpretation of the line: "If I look hard enough Into the setting sun My love will laugh with me Before the morning comes" He sees this as something more hopeful, but I actually view this as perhaps the darkest line of all in the song....As him watching the sun go down, and hoping that he dies before morning, so that he can reunite with his woman in heaven.

I remember hearing this during the end credits of Full Metal Jacket. Gave me chills
This one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The sitar adds such a different sound, too.
"Bolero" Beat. Used effectively one of my favorites from this time period. similar to, King of Pain by the Police, in lyrics.
Although you suggested one of the verses had a hint of hope, it could also be interpreted as the exact opposite. The character is suffering grief and deeply depressed throughout the rest of the song so it seems unlikely it is a change of heart, the setting sun is often used as a metaphor for the last stages of life and it could be him having suicidal thoughts about going to join his loved one.
Agree, he is simply expressing the hope/desire to reunite with her in the afterlife.
I agree it seemed more suicidal to me too.
additionally, if you look long enough into the setting sun you go blind, and your world is black. But yeah, totally sounds like he's looking towards death hopefully here.
Yes, thats how I see it.
Same.
I enjoy the reactions especially the lyrical interpretations. I've been listening to these songs for 50 years but never take the time to read, much less think what they mean. It is nice to get something besides how it sounds after all these years. Keep it up.
I agree! I’ve heard it for decades, but I never really listened to the lyrics before. It adds another dimension to the song, and I love it.
That's partially why I like reaction channels. I've never cared much for interpreting lyrics. It's just not important to me to do. Reactors help me gain a whole new appreciation for music I've been listening to for years.
Even though he didnt start using the sitar till after George Harrison on "Norwegian Wood ", Brian plays it beautifully in this song

Never noticed that before. Thanks.
Excellent point... never noticed.
You are really great at this. Seriously.
Epic is right. I was 12 when this dropped and it's been one of favorite Stones songs since that time.
Excellent analytical skill. You understand what this song is about. The long line of black cars and the flowers and are part of a funeral.

You're right Syed, this is probably one of the most used Rolling Stones songs in media, mostly in movies/series to do with the Vietnam war.
Right. It was the theme song to the TV series Tour of Duty.
Great analysis of the lyrics. I agree on the interpretation.
Wyman’s bass at the end.
Glad to see you releasing more bangers , Syed
Glad you're here for the rise mate!
A great song analysis that almost epitomises my dark clouds of depression
Brilliant reaction and analysis of one of my favorite Rolling Stones tracks! Bravo and props to you! Peace! ✌
It's always so lovely watching the reaction of these boys. Having grown up with a bit of Stones I think you boys ok.

I know which show you’re talking about, but it was called Tour of Duty. Platoon was the Oliver Stone movie with Charlie Sheen and Willem Dafoe.
@@CatherinePearl100 Thanks for the correction. 👍
Platoon was a movie not a TV show.
The music from my high school days. FM radio was not in existence until 1967, so we had everything from THE BEACH, DYLAN, THE BEATLES, STONES, MOTOWN GROUPS, THE ANIMALS AND ON AND ON AND😊 ON.
This is the song that got me into music. Total masterpiece.
I love this song. I am not a huge Stones fan, but my dad had a lot of their records and this was always my favorite as a kid, and the lyrics make me love it even more as an adult.
You nailed it. I Iove your intelligent insightful analysis unlike most reaction videos

That quick up-swooping sound at the end is Bill Wyman on the bass.
You should check out some of their country inspired tracks from Let it Bleed
Yay! Finally my favorite Stones song! Loving your content.
Every band in England were deeply influenced by the Beatles. Also Muddy Waters, and Chuck Berry

A version of this plays in episode 1 of Westworld, so it was used as a cowboy soundtrack.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue. I interpret this to mean that he'll never again experience the depth of emotion that he had for her.
I love your channel dude
Sympathy for the Devil is great too

Keith says that he views the guitar as a rhythm instrument. He and Charlie always drove each other.
You did a great job reacting to this fantastic song. Well done!
60’s rock had tremendous Eastern influences and we can thank the Beatles for that- especially George Harrison who studied sitar with Ravi Shankar and wrote Indian influenced songs - like Within And Without You.
One of the Rolling Stones best songs.
...I see a line of cars and they're all painted black..
( always gave me funeral imagary too )
Another great analysis. No other reaction channel comes close!
I wanna see the sun bloated out from the sky.
What a line!
One of the most brilliantly disturbing songs ever. Chilling.

No no no that is the late great Charlie Watts on drums.

Not correct they used American blues artists for inspiration! The Beatles were more pop!
@@smartfreddy You're right... they used American blues artists... then they were inspired by the Beatles to be the ANTI-Beatles. That worked. Now, they are legends,
Yeah Sy....that deep vroom, vroom, vroom was Bill Wyman on the Bass Guitar, great reaction
I always thought this was a great musical description of clinical depression. When one's brain is helplessly caught in a cycle of despair and the frustration that the entire world ignores those who are in such misery.
by far my favorite Stones song, amazing
I like your movie metaphor/reference:)
I myself also imagined and related to your idea and could imagine myself watching that western 😀
I think the funeral is a metaphor for something dying inside him. Because the rest of the lyrics are about internal darkness. Depression perhaps, or something yet darker?
As far as movies go, this song was the cornerstone of the film “Stir of Echoes”
This way my favorite song to play on guitar hero 🎸🎶🔥
Was indeed Brian Jones on the Sitar. Exploring music or copying the Beatles it made a great sound for the song.
Nothing wrong with copying from The Beatles. That's like saying we're copying air when we breathe!
That’s Beatles propaganda. If they wanna play that game then fans of the Kinks can say the Beatles copied them.
@@ArmandoMPR Agreed. The Kinks "See My Friends" would be a great one to be reviewed here.
Enjoying your channel. You've covered some classic, great bands. May I humbly request you listen to Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights," a fun and entertaining classic from the album Bat Out of Hell.
"I see a line of cars and they're all painted black". Another funeral reference.
The song was the opening theme song for the TV show tour of duty in the late eighties
"Hope at the end?" Oh, hell no! "If I stare long enough into the setting sun," I'll end up blind and possibly insane. That's a death wish.
It was used as the intro for US tv series Call of Duty. it was also at the end of Full Metal Jacket
On this particular cut some people (unfairly in my estimation) accused them of copying The Beatles song "Norweigian Wood" where Harrison used a Sitar the year before this came out.

Nonsense, I say..If the songs resembled each other in any way aside for the used of the sitar maybe you could make a case, but no one could ever mistake one for the other..Totally different.
On one of their albums from around this time is a photograph of Keith Richards in what looked like North Africa.
I've loved the Stones since Satisfaction. I was 12 when I first first heard them.
"Paint it Black" is played at the end of the movie "Full Metal Jacket".
A movie about the Vietnam war.

If you have ever lost a loved one you will find (the?) meaning in this song.
That track was the part of the sound track in various Vietnam era films. It was about having an STD.
He got the middle eastern influence there. That's Brian Jones all the way, check out the Master Musicians of Joujouka. Jones was one of the first to record them.

Brilliant. Thanks bro love ure indebth ops into this song.
IMHO this is the Stones best song with all members really rocking their parts
Makes me think of Russians dancing inside a snow-globe, for some reason. With the high kicks and show flying everywhere
1966, bought the single with picture sleeve in 5th grade
This was in the horror movie "Stir of Echoes", an excellent movie.

Ty for giving context, most reaction channels dont,don't,,
This song was The Theme song for the Series " Tour of Duty ".
The sound that caught your ear at the end was Bill Wyman on bass.
That song was indeed the ending track of "Full Metal Jacket" ....which has a character named "Cowboy"
....which leads me to believe there is such a thing as Prophetic Truth, which I define as an image of Objective Truth that is totally dependent on the Observers place in the Space-Time Continuum
Funny you mention movie soundtrack -- this (or a slightly sped-up version) is used on the end credits of 'Full Metal Jacket'. Somber? Check.
This was the intro to a TV series about viet nam called tour of duty.
Brian Jones was playing the sitar, he was an incredible musician.
A version of this was used in the television program “Westworld” during a bank heist

It's in the creepy movie "Stir of Echoes". This song actually plays a big role in it. I can't help but think of the movie every time I hear this song.
Well done my friend!
Check out the devils advocate, with al pacino.they played this in the end. Late,great founder Brian jones played sitar.😮
great job reacting as usual .... for Richard's instrument just search "dobro" or "resonator guitar"
The TV Show China Beach which was a Vietnam War hospital drama.
This and gimme shelter often used in film.
This is my favorite Stones song.
There is no redemption in this song. It's black and stays black. The verse you think is optimistic is the guy contemplating suicide before the morning comes.

"If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me

He sees this as something more hopeful, but I actually view this as perhaps the darkest line of all in the song....As him watching the sun go down, and hoping that he dies before morning, so that he can reunite with his woman in heaven.
Funeral. Perfect reasoning!
