The woman he loves has passed away, "I see a line of cars and their all painted black, with flowers and my love both never to come back". Love the early Stones! Also, I had the chance to see The Rolling Stones back in May of this year. 60+ years and they're still excellent. Mick Jagger is also 81 years young, still singing and dancing like he's in his 20s. Definitely recommend you or anyone to see these guys live, especially who haven't had the chance as of yet!
The paint my face black line isn't racial. He was painting everything black. His door, his clothes, his heart, and so on. So if someone takes it as a racial thing in this day and age, its that person making it about them and their own issues and has nothing to do with the song. The song is about grief and loss.
I always thought it was about a man struggling with his inner demons and his urge to do something awful especially to the girls dressed in their summer clothes
This song came out in the 1960s, when there was a heavy influence and incorporation of Indian music and culture in rock music. The unusual instrument sound you're likely referring to is a sitar that was added into this recording. As far as all of the "black" references, they're not all literal ones, even the one that jumped out at you at the end. The meaning is a metaphorical one, about someone who has lost a loved one/girlfriend ("I see a line of cars and they're all painted black..."), is mourning them and wants the world around them to reflect the "blackness" they feel inside.
@@matthewdooley7855 It's true, when you are morning the death of a loved one, you look around and feel weird seeing people going on as if nothing has happened.
When he says "i want their faces turned black" i feel he means he wants to be able to relate to people again, having them experience the pain so that he doesn't have to experience the world turning black on his own
A lot of the 1960’s and 1970’s Stones classics still sound relevant today, which is a true testament to the band’s contribution to music and their greatness.
" The Rolling Stones' song "Paint It Black" is about the sadness and despondency that comes with bereavement. The song's lyrics include "I want them to turn black" and "It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black".
The song is about losing someone close to you and how you feel emotionally about things at that time. Mick Jagger the lead singer of the Rolling Stones girlfriend passed away. The line “I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black” is a funeral possession.. it’s about how you feel emotionally after something like that happens to you no colour in your life.
Stones do such an AMAZING job of setting a mood in the first few bars of a song. In this one, you really feel the pain, obsession, desperation right off the bat.
Awesome selection from the Rolling Stones. The 1964-1971 period is my favorite for Stones music. So many great tracks to choose from. Vanessa Carlton did a really good cover version of 'Paint It Black.' PIB is also the song that plays over the closing credits in Stanley Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket.' IMO, the most preeminent of Vietnam War films.
The instrument Brian Jones is playing is called the "sitar", the same classical Indian string instrument that George Harrison had played on ‘Norwegian Wood’. Some other great ones by the Stones to check out are: “Brown Sugar”, “Get Off of My Cloud”, “As Tears Go By”, “Ruby Tuesday” , “Start Me Up”, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”,“Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, “Honky Tonk Women”, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But I Like It)”, “Gimme Shelter”...Just to name a few!
I've never understood specially when reactors see the video with the lyrics how they do not understand its meaning. It is clearly grief over a loved one and how ones world all turns black, but so many reactors just do not pay real attention to it usually.
I remember this song from when I was a kid in the 60's, one of my all time favorites, by the way love your hair when it's down. Also Mia , love the way you always respond to the comments, that means a lot to your followers, your my absolute favorite music reviewer ❤
I suggested this! 😁 Thanks for listening to me! Yes, you may have heard this in movie soundtracks. He’s talking about the loss of his girlfriend after her death (that’s the line of black cars) and the depression he is facing. I believe it’s a sitar you are referring to. Maybe try “shattered” from the Stones “Some Girls” album
But it also has some Flamenco tones & flavors in it, which ends up being the same flavor in a lot of Hispanic music that she probably grew up listening to.
Back in the day, as I recall and based on my experience, many of the top rock bands were snake fascinated with guru's, music, and culture of India. The instrument they most gravitated towards was the sitar, which was incorporated into many songs of the era. also, to a lesser degree African tribal percussions.
That interesting instrument you hear in the background is a sitar, an Indian instrument. To hear more look up Ravi Shankar music here on UA-cam. His daughter, Anoushka Shankar, is also a great example of the sitar. She plays both traditional Indian music and modern collaborations with other musicians and with her half sister, Norah Jones.
You’ve definitely heard this somewhere, the movie or a commercial as it is one of their most popular songs and they’re one of the biggest bands from the 60s and 70s.
I listen Rolling's music since I was a child (in fact, all the 60-70 european music). This song has always suggested to me something tribal, possessed, with frenzy drums and rythm. A real journey, like all their first music. "New gem song" did you say? I've ever heard this expresión (here in Spain we say "he encontrado un diamante"). Beautiful image in a very beautiful voice, thanks.
Got to see them their last tour, what a show just like I pictured the stones, bucket list fs for me, im 19 and got to see the stones twice, love your vids, Gimme shelter next 🙏🏼, if you want an underground track, Almost hear your sigh💯 the shit
You have a great ear for music. That is a sitar being used on 'Paint It Black.' Brian Jones is playing it. It is an Indian instrument most famously used by Ravi Shankar. The Beatles George Harrison played it on a number of their tracks. Very perceptive observation, Mia.
For your next Stones reaction I recommend Can’t You Hear Me Knockin. It’s like two awesome songs melded into one. Part I is driven by a n all-time classic Keith Richards riff and growling Jagger vocals, and Part II is a Santana -like Latin fusion jam session highlighted with soaring Mick Taylor guitar leads.
The original Stones line-up definitely produced the most interesting music of their career. Or most experimental. The 1966 LP Aftermath was the corresponding album for "Paint It Black". There's a ton of great Stones tracks from the Brian Jones era.
There is a reason why The Rolling Stones are the greatest band, second only to The Beatles (who did not last past the 1960's) - Their catalog of music spanned 5+ decades and they scored hit records in every single one of them... And they were always creative, like the 'spaghetti western movie' sound of 'Paint it black' (U guessed right!) released in 1966 by the original Rolling Stones (vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarists Keith Richards & Brian Jones, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts)... I believe Mick Jagger wrote it about depression and it became such an iconic song; it was used in many movie soundtracks. Keith Richards played guitar on it... (late guitarist) Brian Jones played the sitar (Indian string instrument)... Bassist Bill Wyman added maracas and an organ to the track... and Charlie Watts played drums and added percussion instruments as well. Slower Rolling Stones songs include - 'Ruby Tuesday' ... 'Angie' ... "You can't always get what you want"... However, we prefer the rockin' Rolling Stones songs - "It's only rock n' roll" ... 'Satisfaction' ... 'Gimme Shelter' (feat. Merry Clayton)... "Jumpin' Jack Flash" ... 'Miss you'... 'Beast of burden'...
Hi Mia that sound is an sitar originally used in India and I must say that you are looking magnificent as always and I always enjoy your take on every song you listen to and give your opinion on the song and music and your always on the ball for sure Mia please keep up the great work you do as you are totally awesome
the song is about loss of a loved one bands of this era often had profound lyrics and sometimes the subject was not always obvious I'm 68 now and we were used to this and the influence of other music genre's such as classical, Jazz, Blues, Middle eastern and Asian instruments it is a raga rock song with Indian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European influences and lyrics about grief and loss. The song was influential to the burgeoning psychedelic genre as the first chart-topping single to feature the sitar
This song has been in several movies, "Full Metal Jacket" and "Good Morning Vietnam" are two that comes to mind. It was also the theme song to the TV show "Tour Of Duty". It is heavily associated with movies about the Vietnam War.
The more I understood that when we repeatedly listen music, the more we DO download their lyrics into our brains; whether we want to or not. Psychology 101.
That melody is played by a harmony of an electric guitar (Gibson Les Paul) and a Sitar which is a very unusual looking guitar played in a sitting position. The Sitar has a very distinct sound and you will hear it in Bollywood and Indian music. It was very popular duing the western hippy era.
Nobody ever took the lyrics as anything other than what is said but today many people just want to find something they consider offensive in anything and everything. The word black does not mean race. It means he is depressed and black is how he feels.
Looking great,as always, and a great reaction, as always. I believe this is a song about depression, but what do I know. Other great songs by the Rolling Stones include "Gimme Shelter" and "Sympathy For The Devil". I'm from Minnesota. More Prince. His version of "Motherless Child" is pretty good, as is "Let's Go Crazy". I look forward to your next video. More Prince.
That guitar sound is the Sitar “they tried to say they were copying The Beatles using the sitar” but I like how it sounds. It’s on quite a few soundtracks and maybe that’s why it sounded familiar.
The mix of lyrics about grief and the uptempo music made this one of the perfect songs for Vietnam war movies. Others were The Animals' "We've Got to Get Out of This Place" and Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction". It has nothing to do with black versus white conflict as some folks seem to think.
It’s REALLY not a racist thing… the song is about grief and desperation. I take that to mean his grief is so strong he sort of wants to strike out at everyone else and make them feel it too. BTW… I was trying to see which AC/DC songs you’ve reacted to (cause I can’t remember) and I saw at least one got taken down for copyright issues. So I’m not sure if you’ve reacted to “Thunderstruck” or not. But what I was thinking was if you haven’t done it you should. Then you should react to the 2cellos cover of it. Their version is instrumental. But from what I’ve learned of you I would almost guarantee that their cover will make your gym playlist. It is ASTOUNDING
The stringed instrument that I believe your hearing in know as a " Sitar" instrument from India . Check out the song "Heart Breaker by the Stones if you enjoy funky vibes with great lyrics and strong messaging .
A note on the video style: almost every back-in-the-day classic Stones song has this type of colorful lyric video, which is great 'cause their lyrics are genuinely poetic (and Sir Mick Jagger can be--- a little hard to understand sometimes... :D). As is already being pointed out, it's the Indian sitar that really sets this gem off; the Beatles also did that, but the Stones, as you hear, took it to a much darker, heavier place. Want to hear a *really colorful* Rolling Stones song? "Brown Sugar," Mia. "Brown Sugar"... :)
As one who’s not a big Stones fan this song and Sympathy for the Devil are by far my favorites from the band. I believe the instrument you’re talking about is the sitar
Great choice, Mia. One of my favorite bands growing up. Another Rolling Stones song, which I think can make your gym list, is ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’. It was released one year (1965) before "Paint It Black".
Yeah, don’t think that lyric would be written today. But this is prob my fave Rolling Stones song. That melody is very recognizable, and been used in lots of things. Really, the tune has a level of discontent going on, morose unrest. With the narrator wanting everything draped in black (“I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky” is the correct line) it’s obvious how unsettled they are, and that’s the tone of the song. (It’s also obvious that cardigan is nicely hanging by a thread.)
Anything by Chris Cornell (Soundgarden or solo work / RIP as well) is worth adding to your musical repertoire. Glad, I made the suggestion on her Earth, Wind, and Fire (September) reaction video yesterday.
Its east meets west mixture. The Indian sitar and western music . The sitar had quite a renaissance in the 60’s. George Harrison and the Beatles basically introduced it to western music lovers.
It is so nice to see a GEN Z listening to the classics. I bet you will find some songs you will LOVE if you keep going with the late 70's through the 90's. Also, not sure how many you can find online but the MTV Unplugged series had some GREAT shows. You can try the studio verson and then the live verson and see what you like better. I mostly leab toward the live on 'most" but some live can not be very good. There is soooooooo much great music from before 2000 that you could make 100's of reaction vids on.
There's actually a mistake in that lyric video. "Don't want to see the sun flying high in the sky" is really "I want to see the sun blotted out from the sky"
It's funny that you listen to the song paint it Black because it totally goes with your outfit today You look stunning as always. Yes this song has been featured in movies and video games
My favorite Stones songs are It's Only Rock and Roll, Miss You, Ruby Tuesday, Harlem Shuffle, It's All Over Now, Emotional Rescue and, if you want deep lyrics, Sympathy for the Devil.
A few Movies and TV shows this song has featured in, So if you have seen any of these then that could be the source ;-) Wednesday • s1e1 2022 Black Adam - 2022 Hunters • s1e8 2020 The Masked Singer Australia • s2e3 2019 Pennyworth • s1e1 2019 The Kitchen 2019 9-1-1 • s5e3 2018 Love Island • s7e8 2015 The Strain • s4e7 2014 The Blacklist • s7e19 2013 The Devil's Advocate 1997 Full Metal Jacket 1987 Play for Today • s10e5 1970
I'm late to this party, as I've suggested this masterpiece to you. Good reaction, it's a timeless song considering its older than us both, lol. Timeless, thoughtful and will remain as such. Rock 'n roll!
Ok mia now am jealous of how stunning u kook on every upload god dam mia u will always be a queen to ke thanks for the upload hope you have a lovely night ❤
One of the best Classic Rock songs ever. It's a mood. Ha. Indian culture was in at the time. I've never heard anyone question these lyrics. "Brown Sugar" about loving black women though 😂 "Sympathy For The Devil" is another banger that breaks down mankind. You'll see. ❤❤
“Brown Sugar” is more about the taboo attraction white people have had toward black people despite being their oppressors. That's why he tells it starting with the “enslaver,” the bourgeoise white woman getting freaky with the black “houseboy,” and then the reflexive moment (third verse) about himself. He's calling out the hypocrisy, making it the most misunderstood song ever.
While this song had nothing to do with the war, it became associated with Viet Nam. The troops loved it and it was used as background for movies and TV shows about the war.
Respect to that one valiant button. There's many songs that the album versions are actually better than the video, usually because the video versions are heavily edited. The video of Twilight Zone by Golden Earring, for example, cuts out HALF THE SONG, including almost the entire guitar solo in the interlude. During the psychedelic stage of 60s rock there were a LOT of Eastern, especially Indian, musical influences, (which also worked its way into broader counter-culture) including instrumentation, melodic lines, and harmonic structure. As a specific genre it's called "raga rock."
Maybe some day soon you'll get to Dio. And when you do hopefully it's Last in Line; but any Dio song will be great 🤘 but I've been enjoying what you have done thus far 🤘
the only band i've ever watched outdoors and thought "this is fucking awesome". not shitting on the other bands i've heard outdoors, but sound doesn't travel well in the open air. the instrument youre thinking sounds mexican/american its a sitar. great intrument. sitar and mandolin are the coolest fucking things.
Great song i love to play this on my guitar but i also play many types of music including rock metal classical jazz even some gypsy style. Love all music
Definitely some western movie vibes mixed in with the India influences of the era. And this has been used in a lot of movies so you definitely could have heard at least part of it before if it sounded familiar. Call me basic but this is definitely my favorite Stones songs.
Mia, have you ever heard “Don’t You Want Me “ by Human League? It was a good song to dance to back in the 80s lol. I think it has around 200 million views. Enjoying your reactions!

The woman he loves has passed away, "I see a line of cars and their all painted black, with flowers and my love both never to come back". Love the early Stones!
Also, I had the chance to see The Rolling Stones back in May of this year. 60+ years and they're still excellent. Mick Jagger is also 81 years young, still singing and dancing like he's in his 20s. Definitely recommend you or anyone to see these guys live, especially who haven't had the chance as of yet!
The line of black cars is the funeral procession for his love who has died, he thinks now that EVERYTHING should be black.
Bullshit
100% correct! He is miserable due to the loss of his girlfriend or wife and sees the whole world now through a depressing lens.
@@jacklee5807 No, this is the actual literal meaning of the song.
@@jamiegagnon6390 Says who? Pure revisionism
@@jacklee5807 If it is a lie, it is the one I have always been told. What is the true meaning?
You've got to take your hat off to the Rolling stones, they're all pushing 80 and still rocking.
mick and keith are both over 80
The paint my face black line isn't racial. He was painting everything black. His door, his clothes, his heart, and so on. So if someone takes it as a racial thing in this day and age, its that person making it about them and their own issues and has nothing to do with the song. The song is about grief and loss.
Agreed. The bigger push toward that victim mentality they love so much.
Yeah, I felt it was more of a commentary of despair or frustration like Black Hole Sun from Soundgarden. Just wanting everything to disappear.
I always thought it was about a man struggling with his inner demons and his urge to do something awful especially to the girls dressed in their summer clothes
There are no lyrics about painting a face black. The only line with "face" in it is "And I have to face the facts".
@@debjorgo there is one toward the end.
That is a Sitar (Indian Guitar)being played by Brian Jones....this song was released 07 May 1966
If you're trying to figure anything out, we'll be here all year.
LOL, this world is going crazy - I have never heard someone think blackface with this song til now
I've heard it before. Folks seem to associate black only with skin colour these days.

Sort of the same sentiment as "I Wish it Would Rain" by The Temptations. He wants the who world to cry, reflecting the pain he's feeling.
@@matthewdooley7855 It's true, when you are morning the death of a loved one, you look around and feel weird seeing people going on as if nothing has happened.
Sitar - like an Indian guitar with lots of strings
When he says "i want their faces turned black" i feel he means he wants to be able to relate to people again, having them experience the pain so that he doesn't have to experience the world turning black on his own
Your reaction to 'Paint It Black' was so good! I love how you were vibing with it. It's wild how songs like that still hit today.

I've never understood specially when reactors see the video with the lyrics how they do not understand its meaning. It is clearly grief over a loved one and how ones world all turns black, but so many reactors just do not pay real attention to it usually.
If you mention the word black these days, people assume you are talking about black people. Weird.
I remember this song from when I was a kid in the 60's, one of my all time favorites, by the way love your hair when it's down. Also Mia , love the way you always respond to the comments, that means a lot to your followers, your my absolute favorite music reviewer ❤

Yes, you may have heard this in movie soundtracks.
He’s talking about the loss of his girlfriend after her death (that’s the line of black cars) and the depression he is facing.

If you can find it on UA-cam, look at the video of this song that’s the “Tour of Duty” TV show intro. It’s pretty epic.
One of the best song of Rolling Stones🤘
The Rolling Stones/ Satisfaction is the one that everyone likes ..

Since you’re a horror fan, check out “Stir of echoes” they brilliantly use this song in the film.
As one who’s not a big Stones fan this song and Sympathy for the Devil are by far my favorites from the band. I believe the instrument you’re talking about is the sitar
I absolutely love what you do... And you do it while looking gorgeous
"missing persons" is the band the song is "mental hopscotch" one of the best drummers you will ever here
It’s a Sitar of Indian origin. The Beatles introduced it pop music on Norwegian Wood off the rubber soul album. Check it out
Great choice, Mia. One of my favorite bands growing up. Another Rolling Stones song, which I think can make your gym list, is ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’. It was released one year (1965) before "Paint It Black".
To think Keith Richards was only 650 years old when they recorded this
Hello gorgeous
Thank you for reacting to Rolling Stones
And also for being so astonishing beautiful lady😍🥰
Mia looking beautiful as always 😍
Yeah, don’t think that lyric would be written today. But this is prob my fave Rolling Stones song. That melody is very recognizable, and been used in lots of things. Really, the tune has a level of discontent going on, morose unrest. With the narrator wanting everything draped in black (“I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky” is the correct line) it’s obvious how unsettled they are, and that’s the tone of the song. (It’s also obvious that cardigan is nicely hanging by a thread.)
Mia,I’m telling you. Check out Chris Cornell “Nothing compares to you”. You will be blown away.
Anything by Chris Cornell (Soundgarden or solo work / RIP as well) is worth adding to your musical repertoire. Glad, I made the suggestion on her Earth, Wind, and Fire (September) reaction video yesterday.
Good way to go ❤
@@mikealdana8012 Also Temple of the Dog “Hunger Strike” with Chris and Eddie singing together. Their two voices are so compatible together.
@tomking853 Let me know if you’ve heard this one (AIC’s collaboration with Chris Cornell).

@@tomking853 Right Turn by Chris Cornell and Layne Staley (AIC) is another hidden gem.
Very iconic song at the start of the Vietnam War. By the way, I love your hair gorgeous! 💕
Its east meets west mixture. The Indian sitar and western music . The sitar had quite a renaissance in the 60’s. George Harrison and the Beatles basically introduced it to western music lovers.
Rolling Stones-Wild Horses, Keith Richard’s wrote the song about his kids, if I’m not mistaken
It is so nice to see a GEN Z listening to the classics. I bet you will find some songs you will LOVE if you keep going with the late 70's through the 90's.
Also, not sure how many you can find online but the MTV Unplugged series had some GREAT shows. You can try the studio verson and then the live verson and see what you like better. I mostly leab toward the live on 'most" but some live can not be very good. There is soooooooo much great music from before 2000 that you could make 100's of reaction vids on.
There's actually a mistake in that lyric video. "Don't want to see the sun flying high in the sky" is really "I want to see the sun blotted out from the sky"
It's funny that you listen to the song paint it Black because it totally goes with your outfit today You look stunning as always.
Yes this song has been featured in movies and video games
❤❤❤ The hair offers up such a new look. Really nice 👌
My favorite Stones songs are It's Only Rock and Roll, Miss You, Ruby Tuesday, Harlem Shuffle, It's All Over Now, Emotional Rescue and, if you want deep lyrics, Sympathy for the Devil.
I had this album actual album sounds so good on vinyl record ❤❤❤ Another great reaction
A few Movies and TV shows this song has featured in, So if you have seen any of these then that could be the source ;-)

I'm late to this party, as I've suggested this masterpiece to you. Good reaction, it's a timeless song considering its older than us both, lol. Timeless, thoughtful and will remain as such. Rock 'n roll!
Ok mia now am jealous of how stunning u kook on every upload god dam mia u will always be a queen to ke thanks for the upload hope you have a lovely night ❤
One of the best Classic Rock songs ever. It's a mood. Ha. Indian culture was in at the time. I've never heard anyone question these lyrics. "Brown Sugar" about loving black women though 😂 "Sympathy For The Devil" is another banger that breaks down mankind. You'll see. ❤❤
The influx of Indian musical influence is formally called "raga rock."
“Brown Sugar” is more about the taboo attraction white people have had toward black people despite being their oppressors. That's why he tells it starting with the “enslaver,” the bourgeoise white woman getting freaky with the black “houseboy,” and then the reflexive moment (third verse) about himself. He's calling out the hypocrisy, making it the most misunderstood song ever.
If you’ve seen Stir of Echoes, you’ll appreciate this song.
While this song had nothing to do with the war, it became associated with Viet Nam. The troops loved it and it was used as background for movies and TV shows about the war.
I like when you move and they touch together
Mother’s little helper is a great rs song and I haven’t seen anyone react to it yet.
I saw them in concert earlier this year :)
This song played at the end credits scene of The Devil's Advocate. Good movie, you should watch it.
The sound your hearing is the great multi instrumentalist Brian Jones playing a Sitar. It has an Indian or Moroccan feel to it.
Respect to that one valiant button.
There's many songs that the album versions are actually better than the video, usually because the video versions are heavily edited. The video of Twilight Zone by Golden Earring, for example, cuts out HALF THE SONG, including almost the entire guitar solo in the interlude.
During the psychedelic stage of 60s rock there were a LOT of Eastern, especially Indian, musical influences, (which also worked its way into broader counter-culture) including instrumentation, melodic lines, and harmonic structure. As a specific genre it's called "raga rock."
I love the new hair style!!! Wow
THEIR BEST SONG NEXT TO ANGIE ...BUT YES THIS IS THE SITAR AN INDIAN INSTRUMENT YOU HEAR THEM PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND ❤
I'd pick Angie first, but Paint it Black would be number two and Sympathy for the Devil would be trotting along right behind...
Maybe some day soon you'll get to Dio. And when you do hopefully it's Last in Line; but any Dio song will be great 🤘 but I've been enjoying what you have done thus far 🤘
the only band i've ever watched outdoors and thought "this is fucking awesome". not shitting on the other bands i've heard outdoors, but sound doesn't travel well in the open air. the instrument youre thinking sounds mexican/american its a sitar. great intrument. sitar and mandolin are the coolest fucking things.
This woman though...love it.
Great song i love to play this on my guitar but i also play many types of music including rock metal classical jazz even some gypsy style. Love all music
My 3 favorite Stones songs are
Paint it black
Gimme shelter
Sympathy for the devil
Definitely some western movie vibes mixed in with the India influences of the era. And this has been used in a lot of movies so you definitely could have heard at least part of it before if it sounded familiar. Call me basic but this is definitely my favorite Stones songs.
Mardi Gas is coming up soon can you react to some Mardi Gras songs like DR. John - Iko Iko ?
Mia, have you ever heard “Don’t You Want Me “ by Human League? It was a good song to dance to back in the 80s lol. I think it has around 200 million views. Enjoying your reactions!
