Edit (cold end) for headphones. Dubbed video. This is the video of the shorter version of the song they performed on U.S. tv (music dubbed, Jagger live, the third verse and the last four lines were omitted). I extended the video images, so that this very long full version fits in! Hurray for me! I also changed Brian's sitar sound, it now comes from his side. (Further more I had to do some back and forth-ing, for the final mmm mmm mmm part lasts almost a whole minute.)
Recorded March 6 - 9, 1966. Released as a US & UK single in April/May, 1966, went to # 1 on both charts. Released on the US album "Aftermath" in July, 1966. *
Sitar & tamboura: Brian Jones. Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Drums: Charlie Watts. Bass (Vox Teardrop) & organ: Bill Wyman. Acoustic guitar & backing vocals: Keith Richards. Piano: Jack Nitzsche.
This is an edit of the one on disc two of the album "Aftermath Isolated Trax".
PAINT IT, BLACK
(Jagger/Richards)
I see a red door and I want it painted black
no colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
with flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
it's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
no more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
if I look hard enough into the settin' sun
my love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
no colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
mmm, mmm, mmm...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
yeah!
mmm, mmm, mmm... etc.
