The Rolling Stones - She's A Rainbow *DayOne Reacts*

[@robertlear2735]

The piano and harpsichord on this song were played by the most famous rock musician you never heard of Nicky Hopkins. He played on numerous Rolling Stones albums. He also played on songs by the Kinks, the Who, the Beatles, the Steve Miller Band, Jefferson Airplane, Rod Stewart, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Cat Stevens, Carly Simon, Harry Nilsson, Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Jerry Garcia, Jeff Beck, Joe Cocker, Art Garfunkel, Badfinger, Graham Parker, and Donovan. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest studio pianists in the history of popular rock music. I had the privilege to become an acquaintance of his during the mid 70's. A nicer guy you would never meet.

[@larryg7126]

He was also a member of the Quicksilver Messenger Service. I agree he was the go to pianist/keyboardist for sessions. The Tin Man Was A Dreamer.

[@popseven9283]

In my opinion one of the best Rollings stones songs ❤️

[@axiomist4488]

To me, the piano always reminds me of one of those toy pianos little kids play. It's so sweet.

[@AW11-e4h]

Greatest Rock N Roll band ever 🤘🤘

[@k_salter]

I was in kindergarten or 1st grade when this came out, and one of my older brothers had this 45. I used to beg him to play this cuz I couldn't touch the stereo yet lol. He eventually bought me my first record player and gave me this record. I've always loved this song.

[@mjp3186]

What a nice story and loving brother

[@kenlangston3451]

I had never heard this song until last year when it was featured in a episode of Ted Lasso. Now it is one of my favorite songs by the Stones.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

I didn't notice this song until later in life. It was on the radio one day in the 1990s and I thought it was a commercial for something. The music box impression was the hook right off the bat and the colors came and flowed into one of my favorites by the Stones.

[@deeg8849]

Thank you Brian. RIP forever

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The Rolling Stones "Fool To Cry"...Nuff Said.

[@keymack2477]

For more great softer Stones you may want to try "Wild Horses" or "As Tears Go By", though neither is as psychedelic as this masterpiece!! Thank you for another great reaction, Angela!

[@kennethmartin8582]

One of my Favorites!!!!

[@vrvaughn]

This was a turning point for the Stones… This ended one phase of the band… their next 4 albums were masterpieces of rock/blues and country starting with Beggar’s Banquet in 1968 and going through Let It Bleed, Exile On Main Street and finishing up with Sticky Fingers… They had good albums after that but these 4 were in a highly creative time period for them.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Oh, thank you. The radio seems to think there are 5 or 6 rolling stone songs.

[@brenthenderson3983]

I don't think the radio stations know there are that many, maybe 3 or 4.

[@vicprovost2561]

You can't go wrong with the Stones, try Dandelion from the same album, another tune to vibe and wonder at how good the Stones were and still are, 60 years of greatness. Enjoy beautiful lady, you brighten my day once again! 🎵

[@niceguymike]

Sorry Dandilion is not on the same album.However you can easily be fooled do to the fact that both songs have psychedelic similarities

[@tektoniks_architects]

String section for this song arranged by John Paul Jones (future bass player/keyboardist for Led Zeppelin), as a session musician before Zeppelin was formed.

[@MisterWondrous]

I love this psychedelic phase of the band. "Dandelion" is a similar flower power song. "It comes in colors." is something salesmen and marketers are saying, and I think they took off on that, and maybe added the sexual double entendre, or didn't dissuade people from thinking that. They actually deserve the G.O.A.T. label, and it is a credit to them that they don't make a fuss about it. I'm sure they were Beatles fans and vice versa.

[@magneto7930]

Oh definitely, The Beatles and the Stones were best of friends back then. This song is definitely Sgt. Pepper influenced.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

Also, a song called "We Love You" which was the flip side of the "Dandelion" 45, and another one called "Child of the Moon"... the Stones were second to none in the psychedelia department!

[@magneto7930]

@@1967PONTIACGTO you can hear John and Paul singing background vocals on We Love You. I'm pretty sure Mick sang background vocals on Baby, You're a Rich Man as well.

[@MikeB12800]

2000 Man.. great song

[@mulatacatachufla]

70s FOREVER

[@jamesbobo]

This version is missing the musical segment before they sing "Have you seen her dressed in blue".

[@willblood7082]

I absolutely love this song, thanks for reacting as there are very few reactions to this song on KZbin 😊

[@johnlamere2189]

The song includes rich lyricism, vibrant piano by Nicky Hopkins, and Brian Jones' use of the Mellotron. John Paul Jones, (later of the band Led Zeppelin), arranged the strings of this song during his session days. Backing vocals were provided by the entire band except for Charlie Watts. Notably, all of the vocals sound like soft background singing with the music overshadowing them to the point of the lyrics being difficult to hear. The lyrics in the chorus "She Comes in Colors" were also the title of another song by the band "Love". "She Comes in Colors - Love" was released in December 1966. The Stones's song was released in 1967. I think they liked that "Love" song and nicked that one line.

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

Some say it could be about Mick's love back in the day, Marianne Faithful. Maybe, but "She comes in colors" can also be an erotic and/or psychedelic drug reference. Led Zepp's John Paul Jones makes an appearance in the background strings on this one as well.

[@davidwhite3181]

This song got her dancing...cool.

[@davidwhite3181]

Angela...you are the best hand dancer. They put a spell on me.

[@itsmedrooms6071]

I love this psychedelic era of the Stones when they were trying to be The Beatles, but then Jones died and they brought in Mick Taylor and wrote the best music of their career, but I do love this early psychedelic period.

[@paulprendergast3184]

Molly Tuttle does a fantastic cover of this song. Highly recommend it.

[@rondpert5167]

Shout out for Ian Stewart, pianist and co-founder of the group, who became the hidden Rolling Stone.

[@brenthenderson3983]

Zeppelin's Boogie With Stu is a song pretty much made on the spot when Zeppelin was recording with the Rolling Stones mobile recording unit when Stewart dropped in, the song is about Ian Stewart.

[@snatchhog]

Love me some mick and stones😅

[@emilianoricotta]

Nice. But this is the cut version. A very great instrumental part is missing in the middle. I suggest you to listen the uncut version.

[@Tijuanabill]

Yeah, I feel suggestive is the deal with this one lol...like a rainbow coming colors everywhere sounds dirty.

[@davidwhite3181]

It's about a acid (LSD) party they had. The police busted the party and Mick and Keith were arrested. The arrest was a very big deal in England.

[@jeffreywoodin8549]

Dang, Angela looking good in last few react videos.....back off, yea, I'm an old guy with a crush on Angela..... is that a crime?? Lol

[@jerroldjennymichaudzhenmic3966]

I disagree with the double entendre interpretation. Although I admit it is a possibility considering Mick was never inhibited about writing anything. This was the Stone's brief psychedelic period and this was their psychedelic album. The Beatles were openly experimenting with LSD around this time and the Stones took the cue from them. This song sounds like something that was written while on LSD. Both the vibe and the lyrics suggest it. I think the sexual thing is more in the listeners mind than in the composers, although Mick would probably have gleefully acknowledged it as something subconscious.

[@dennislockhart7678]

Low-budget Stones...if you want to hear them get psychedelic listen to Please Go Home....psychedelic rock with a Bo Diddley beat...if you want to hear what ther were really capable of listen to

[@lewstone5430]

I could explain what this song is actually about but my comment would be taken down. Hint: Sing the chorus *then get very literal.* Yes, that’s what it’s about. I love the Stones, so raw!

[@sandros5199]

🤟🏻💋🤟🏻☮️🇮🇹

[@MikeB12800]

I still love you ❤️

[@oriolbelbauza1483]

This version is cutted. Missing best piano part

[@dennislockhart7678]

...Backstreet Girl or Out of Time...unreal.

Angela is my favorite its rain

[@larrysaenz8964]

Rainy season

[@michaelcatapano527]

Actually Keith wrote this about his daughter.

[@franckmedina3346]

music of pub apple

[@SalManila1]

If anything it's a happy joyful song. It makes me smile.

[@johnnyjohnny8636]

Great song, only ruined slightly by Jagger's usual creepy innuendos. "She comes in colors, coming everywhere." Yeah, ok bro.

[@gotrhythm1]

Audio is terrible! You can hardly hear the vocal track.

[@Mike-gn4un]

Yeah the audio quality is a little disappointing. Maybe Angela didn’t react to the official music video with lyrics because it has more chance of being blocked on KZbin??

[@rafaelorantes7185]

The video got almost nothing to do with the song, excellent song though, there’s another video that’s very 60’s and more fitting!

[@classiclife7204]

Cute, but around a year later they did "Jumpin Jack Flash" and got back to basics. My unpopular opinion is: the Beatles could do this stuff, and the Stones could not; the Stones were a rock band, first, foremost, and almost exclusively.

[@scotttrainer9704]

I think it's about diversity and equality.
