MARC ALMOND PAINT IT BLACK

[@rightsaidrick]

Awesome! I never knew Marc Almond covered this! I've been a fan of his for years, as well as a major U2 fan, but within one minute of him singing this song, Marc's is now my FAVORITE version of the song. And it's hard to beat anything U2 in my mind, so great job Marc! This is awesome! Thank you ninstop222 for posting this! It might be the best new song I have heard in all of 2023 as the year is almost over (sorry, Cher and DJ, Play A Christmas Song For Me, but I love you to death!)

[@evrist9477]

This is not just A cover of the song ,this is a NEW original!!!

[@SerafinDrake]

Holy crow, is there any song Marc Almond CAN'T cover? Amazing. His talent makes my jaw drop.

[@helenwildy4321]

totally agree - its rare that a cover is better than the original - but this is a gem that fits into that catagory!!!! love it!!!!!

[@nickmorrell3559]

His own stuff is amazing ..but every cover he does he makes his own ...this is great ..the orchestra is a good addition ...better than the original

[@apollonia6656]

What a great version. Marc's voice makes the song sound even sadder than others I have heard. Love it.

Normally when I hear this tune, the video in my head is a mish-mash of Vietnam films and news reels. This version changed that: back in my mental hole, asking myself whether it was worth getting up in the morning; knowing that if I decided to end it, the world would not stop spinning, my death would not change anything. I can look back now in a detached sort of way - maybe just as well I did not hear Marc's version of this back then.

[@joylindadichamounix]

I saw him at the KZbin Theater in Los Angeles last night. He is amazing! I love how he engages the audience.

[@mazzymuso]

Lovely melancholic version of a great song.

[@TimParker-Chambers]

I've heard a few orchestral tracks covered and remixed, and labeled 'Epic Version': This is Paint it Black Epic Version! 😍😍😍😍 This blows the original clean out the water 👍👍👍👍

[@rsmith7912]

To think this was nearly 20 years ago and I've never heard this. Love it! Echoes of the art of falling apart. Would have been a great single.

[@geodimo]

I love Marc. Love 💞💞😻💞 vibes from Greece. Very underrated artist. Some people should be deaf. garbage like Miley Cyrus get millions of views in a couple of days, and real singers like Marc have not such popularity.

[@michaelduerden5897]

Fabulous, what else would you expect from this showman?

[@dimckinnon2269]

OMG love it, love it, love it. Love you Marc Almond and everything you do. You are a true star, such a talent and such a journey you have taken us on. Have loved your music since the beginning! You are awesome 🖤🖤🖤

[@GutterHeartsTV]

Can't agree more, and iv also enjoyed the listing for 35+ years can't wait for next gig

Amazing and beautiful version.

[@alfredrutz7830]

My fav artist covering my fav RS song - deliriously good!!

[@werebunniee]

This is my mom’s favorite song and the original is great, but this is truly amazing!! Way better than the original sksksksk

[@karenmclaren9261]

I like this, but immediately thought of the album Tenement Symphony as soon as it started. Love the drama of this version.

[@noreenhoneyman2765]

marvellous Mark fantastic version i prefer it to the original

[@donatellatirelli2377]

splendida versione di un capolavoro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ShikiraPressley]

Devestatingly beautiful better than the original cover version

[@alphy70]

@houzbizness303 Found it out! Sorry for misunderstanding. It's the 1998 Mike Batt production's album called "Philharmania" with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and guest singers included Marc Almond featuring in "Paint it Black".

[@debbiemccarthy3864]

He sings this Beautifully x

[@Mannchild11]

He can sing the phone book.

[@milanbrajkovic577]

Perfect cover.

[@melodiantime]

I HOPE HE DOES, THE SEA STILL SINGS, BLACK HEART, THIS HOUSE IS A HOUSE OF TROUBLE, OR MANY OF HIS, BACKBEAT STUFF, HIS COMMERCIAL STUFF, STILL ROCKS ALSO. I LOVE HIM TO BITS,.

[@bigbaddemoness]

I am not a fan of the Beatles despite being born and bred in Liverpool,Marc has such a brilliant clear voice that is much more to my liking...

[@nickmorrell3559]

It's a rolling stones record

[@bigbaddemoness]

@@nickmorrell3559 I know it is hence my post from 9yrs ago below this one saying Marc sings it better than Jagger..I just meant that everyone seems to think people from Liverpool all love the Beatles but I way prefer Marcs voice

[@nickmorrell3559]

@@bigbaddemoness yup me too ...I guess u like what you like ..we can't dismiss the Beatles legacy .but I would rather listen to soft cell, Blondie, Abba, Nina simone ,grace Jones,dusty Springfield,bowie ,Siouxie sioux, lou reed ,human league,mamma Cass,elo,Streisand, Aretha,I could go on. It's a question of taste .can't change it ..wouldn't want to .Beatles just arnt on my radar..oh and I love George Harrison too

[@alfredrutz7830]

​@@nickmorrell3559 So agree with your post, except the last five words !!!

[@Mannchild11]

I can't imagine Marc NOT covering this.

[@houzbizness303]

Never heard this before. Great!! Thanks for sharing. Like others have asked, where did this come from??

[@angelice30]

amo tutto di marc almond ma questa canzone non l avevo mai sentita ,avrebbe dovuta farla meno orchestrale ma piu tetra

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Moves like Almond

[@tanjasteinrotter8084]

Stefan B. Like *an almond

[@MrPeter3011]

GREAT...Like "Pearly Spencer" this also for me better by far than the Original.....

[@SynthRockCaro]

Wow! First time in my life that I like a cover more than the original. And I'm happy that he does his own thing at the end instead of that irritating "hmm hmm hmm". Go Marc :)!

[@Marcos-lq6qy]

its very nice, I like it

[@winkandwoo]

where has this come from its so good oh my god im desperate. BIG MARC FAN

[@robindutt7169]

[@houzbizness303]

@alphy70 Thanks, but is it on a Rolling Stones tribute album or something??

[@Zwischenderwelt]

that´s wonderful...

[@amadoolvera5728]

Yo me quedo con la versión original te Rolling Stones saludos desde Xochimilco Ciudad de México.

[@TheMagickdavid]

They really need the dancers on Strictly to dance to Marc Almond

[@johnvoice815]

So much classier than the stones.

[@verazett4755]

Magic!!!

[@federicap.1309]

wonderful

[@IVIIIVV]

brilliant!

[@markjoyce1343]

Love this so apt

[@melodiantime]

I AM GOING TO SEE MARC, TOMORROW IN GLASGOW, LIVE, I WILL ASK HIM ABOUT THIS, IF I MEET HIM,

[@houzbizness303]

@alphy70 Thank you.

[@alphy70]

@houzbizness303 it's the Rolling Stones "Paint it Black" Cover

[@alfsudhop9420]

Egal, was auch immer Almond covert! Es ist witzigerweise in den meisten Fällen besser, als das Original!!🤜🤛

[@jakethekipper]

Met him in Manchester in 1999.

[@alphy70]

Super !!

[@sunnyxdays1036]

Photo looks like St George's hall Liverpool ?

[@cescorosa61]

Bombastic and tragic

[@theeerikae]

unique!

[@trendydelquendy]

Bloody hell. He's ace.

[@iainwallington474]

Perfect

[@groovydonkey]

Sounds like he covered this quite a few years ago.

[@keithbowcott6231]

Could have been written for him, brilliant

[@pcCAT33]

Amazing Marc! There was fire! Now...good taste is gone.

[@rudy6884]

Epic.

[@konstantinlounkov7478]

О...уенно

[@Mr_Lupine]

Great arrangement, I don't think he's voice suits it though. Would suit Dave Vanian or Stiv Bator better .... He should sing I'll never fall in love again by Johnny Ray. He'd do a great version of that !

[@Mannchild11]

I feel you but slow down. We talking Stones here.

[@rectortreeolder1873]

PAINT IT BLUE

[@melodiantime]

I THOUGHT THIS ALSO, UP THERE, WITH, THE COLT AND THE ROPE, BY SCOTT WALKER.

[@Mannchild11]

Ya, cuz Jagger like the Beatles can't sing at all. The Stones are straight up gangster rock stars and the greatest of all time. Beatles are great writers. Marc is a singer.

[@bigbaddemoness]

Marc also wrote a few great songs inc one of my faves,Say hello,wave goodbye...

[@xamyx2205]

Marc is a consummate, all-around performer, period. He's also written many amazing songs, but he enjoys covering songs written by others, and "translating" them to fit what he interprets them to mean. This is one of my favorite songs since childhood, and Marc Almond is my absolute favorite artist, so this is a real treat for me. My mom introduced me to the Rolling Stones, and I later introduced her to Marc Almond...

[@wolflair3329]

I favour the Stones for this

[@ridikova]

[@Mannchild11]

Hey. Born there doesn't mean you have to automatically like them. Lol. It's Liverpool not Beatlestown. Cheers!

[@bigbaddemoness]

Try telling that to all the Beatles obsessed idiots who think if you are from Liverpool you must know at least one of the Beatles in some way and love their music...oh dear...

[@Mannchild11]

Wait. I take that back.

[@mUbase]

I can taste liquorice...

[@justinebourke2811]

Huge fan of Almond here but I'm not impressed with this 😕

[@rarerockk]

strange. rolling stones forever. hahahaha !

[@TonksMoriarty]

Take the instrumental, get Jennifer Saunders to record the lyrics, then we'll talk.

[@wagsouza3459]

NO !

[@натальякулагина-б1ж]

взял и перепел. люблю его, но это не красиво

[@alexbautista5410]

i'm not sure this is Marc Almond; the voice sounds funny.

[@TimCullis]

I have 17 cover versions of the Stones original. The Animals is probably the best. This is a bit 'disco'. No soul.

[@spiritoftheforest6204]

Just no..
