The line of cars all painted black, with flowers and my love both never to come back - this is the funeral procession. He turns his head when he sees the girls in their summer clothes because seeing people happy while he's grieving from losing a loved one is too much. He wants everything to be black because that's how he's feeling. Hope this helps.
It was written, recorded and released in 1966. It is timeless. An absolute masterpiece. There's something about the original Rolling Stones line up that their later incarnations could never recapture.
@@OMIMreacts My pleasure. The sweet spot for the Stones is pretty much anything they released between 1965-1973. They did released some great music both before and after those years but that's their peak. The albums BEGGARS BANQUET, LET IT BLEED, STICKY FINGERS and EXILE ON MAIN STREET are from their imperial period (1968-72).
The first instrument that you hear at the beginning is not a guitar but a sitar, which is an Indian instrument. It was played by Brian Jones, who was 1 of the original members of the Stones. He was best known for playing guitar, but also played a bunch of other instruments. Unfortunately, he died at 27 years of age in 1969. How that happened is a subject of controversy.
the song revolves around how he feels after burying a loved one the red door is metaphorical for outward expressions of love. Painting it black refers to wanting people to share in his pain I think the rest of it you can put together with the given info. Good reaction. If you decide on another Rolling stones song, may I suggest 'Sympathy for the devil'
Well you definitely introduced me to a perspective Ioved... And I appreciate it. You was talking about how musicians had to be specialized in their instrument... Only someone your age could even conceive of that perspective.. and no, he's saying a person dying is just a common occurrence just as a baby being born. He just chose a baby because death is the end and the baby is a beginning
Part of what gives the 60s music its distinctive sound is that they were using different types of amps and microphones and such back then - with vacuum tubes instead of transistors like the modern ones. Some bands today still use that old style gear, and I believe there are even a few companies producing new ones in that style, but the vast majority of music these days is made with newer tech, which doesn't produce quite that same effect. Oh, and the line of cars painted black is talking about a funeral procession, after his woman unexpectedly died....Not to worry though - even most native English speakers don't get this reference - at least not the first time they hear the song - especially since the unique sound of the song is so captivating.

The sitar was an instrument that was played by a few rock n rollers in the mid sixties, the Beatles and the Yardbirds being among those others.
