"Heavenly" is the only words that I can describe it! And black music was the most honest music that we could identify with!.Hl from OklahomaPaint it black was once considered to be in the trailer of the dark knight, but wasn't used due to Nolan not allowing any non-original music in the trilogy, even in the trailers.Jack Hamilton from New ZealandThe band Grip Inc which included Dave Lombardo ex slayer did a killer version of this song.You can find lots of people on the internet confirming the similarity of these 2 songs, but no one can tell where this similarity comes from. There must be some country song/nursery rhyme/gospel song/commercial … where they took inspiration from. The Stones had been touring in the States listening to the radio all day long, Lee Hazlewood lived in the States. Jan Cornelissen from Brasschaat, BelgiumI’m 66 now, and before the day I die, I would like to know the link between “Summer Wine” of Lee Hazlewood and “Paint in black” of the Rolling Stones.Nigel from Ashby De La Zouch, EnglandPerhaps the 'black heart' and the fact that he describes people looking away from him could mean that maybe he has committed a heinous crime?."Brian's sitar line not only makes the song happen but also turns it into a timeless classic," Danny Garcia, director of the film Rolling Stone: Life and Death of Brian Jones, told Songfacts. His notable contributions to the group include lead guitar on " Get Off of My Cloud" and recorder on " Ruby Tuesday," but his work on "Paint It Black" may have been his greatest musical achievement. Less than a month later he drowned in his swimming pool at age 27. By June 1969, he was a liability, and the Stones fired him. He was still going strong when this song was released in 1966, but fell off a year later when his drug use caught up to him and his girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, left him for Richards. Jones was a founding member of the Stones and key to their early success. Jones did the arrangements for "Paint It Black" and many other songs around this time, but according to Keith Richards, he never presented a finished song to the group, which kept him off the credits. So it was, to my mind, a real marker.Brian Jones had a lot of input into this song, but was left off the songwriting credits (Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are the credited writers). It had a lot of different styles, and it was very well recorded. “ has a very wide spectrum of music styles: “Paint It, Black” was this kind of Turkish song and there were also very bluesy things like “Goin’ Home” and I remember some sort of ballads on there,” added Jagger. charts in 1966 and has remained a staple on the Stones set to this day. Though the song was written by Richards and Jagger with most of the musical arrangements set by Jones, a slanted publishing deal in 1965 led to the band signing over the rights to the track, and all the songs they wrote through 1969 to the band’s former manager Allen Klein. “It’s the first time we wrote the whole record and finally laid to rest the ghost of having to do these very nice and interesting, no doubt, but still cover versions of old R&B songs, which we didn’t really feel we were doing justice, to be perfectly honest, particularly because we didn’t have the maturity. “That was a big landmark record for me,” said Mick Jagger of Aftermath. We tried a guitar but you can’t bend it enough.” To get the right sound on ‘Paint It Black’ we found the sitar fitted perfectly. “We had the sitars, we thought we’d try them out in the studio. “They make sitars and all sorts of Indian stuff,” said Richards. The sitar was most likely a discovery during the band’s break in the South Pacific around a tour in Australia. Adding to their musical experiments, guitarist Brian Jones first introduces the sitar into the mix-and marked the first time the Stones featured the instrument in their music-and would often play the wooden instrument, sat cross-legged, during television appearances. Inspired by more Indian and Mid-Eastern sounds, the song was written while the band was in Fiji for three days.
