that and the "if I stare hard enough into the setting sun, my love with smile with me before the morning comes". Most definitely about someone who he's trying to tell himself is still looking down at him from an afterlife.

I've heard others saying that this song was simply about depression, as you two are saying. But it's far more - the reason for his depression is grief, because his wife or girlfriend has just died, and he's watching or imagining the funeral procession: "I see a line of cars and they're all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back" "... I could not foresee this thing happening to you..." "I've seen people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a newborn baby, It just happens every day" I love this song, and hate it. I lost my beautiful wife to cancer five years ago, and every time I hear it I'm reminded of how it felt. But I still listen.

When I hear the line a bit into the song about "I see a line of cars and they're all painted black" (funeral) and then it talks about flowers, then the song makes sense to me. Some girl died, and he can't bear to see color or recognize that life goes on because he is in the midst of a black grief over the loss of a friend or loved one or lover. Bottom line, it is about the grief of death. Databyter

What she said 👆

[@jaynagerber7474]

The only thing I knew about the song is that it was the (original) theme song for the late 80s Vietnam war (although technically it was never categorized as a war here in the U.S.A., since it was never voted on as such by congress) show "Tour of Duty". Great show by the way. Unlike a lot of shows about Vietnam from the 70s and 80s, it didn't portray all of the Soldiers as hopeless scumbags, but showed them as true human beings, with the complexities that brings. It did show the negative aspects, but it also showed all of the positive aspects as well.

[@larry40]

I never really listened to this song until my wife and daughter died,,neighbor was playing this shortly afterward ,,I can relate now..

[@MikeKilo1969]

Through the use of colour-based metaphors, the song's lyrics describe the grief suffered by one stunned by the sudden and unexpected loss of a partner. Music scholar James E. Perone noted in 2012 that the lyrical content - a character "so entrenched in his depression and rage that he has lost all hope"

[@teresapack4788]

This song came out during the Vietnam War. There was a very very good TV series in the 80s about the Vietnam War and this song was the theme song. I heard it every Saturday night for years. Love your reviews. Oh my Goodness Amber was doing "the swim". It brings the 60s out of you!

You need to remember two things about the Rolling Stones and bands of that era - first, this was during Vietnam, so a lot of the songs actually had protests in them. For a great example of this, listen to the Monkees' Last Train to Clarksville. Secondly, these bands, like the Stones, the Who, the Beatles, Cream, the Byrds, and so many more - they were actually creating what we think of as rock today.

This song was selected as the theme song for Tour of Duty which was a late eighties show about the Viet Nam War and though the song came out during the war it was written in 1966 at a time when the war was just beginning to elicit intense reactions and over time it started giving the same kind of vibe as other songs like Run Through the Jungle, We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Reflections of My Life and For What It's Worth. It was a time when intense songs were all adopted to fit the mood of the war, even though the original reasons for them may have been something else. And it fit Tour of Duty very well.

This comes from a time, 1966, when groups like The Beatles, The Byrds The Beach Boys and others, not to mention Bob Dylan were getting bored of the conventional styles of music they were playing, and were experimenting with different types of instrumentation and styles of music. Hence the use of the sitar, which had already been used by The Beatles on Norwegian Wood in 1965. This was a very fruitful period of music, and psychedelia was just emerging. The type of drugs they were using, e.g. LSD can not be discounted.

when he see's girls walk by in their summer clothes, They are usually in light colours, airy or little clothing at all. They are gorgeous, but he is in pain inside and cant look at them because they remind him of the one he lost. He isn't interested in being happy again with someone else. He is consumed by his depression and heart break.

You guys picked up on this well and it is dark, but one of my favorites. A couple of key lines: "I see a line of cars and they're all painted black..." and Robert below already outlines the meaning there (funeral), also when he says "I could not foresee this thing happening to you". His grief from the apparent sudden death the one he loves. So yes, his mind is painting everything black to match the grief and despair he is going through. Also, I always thought he couldn't look at the girls go by because they reminded him of his girl who had died. Good job though. Glad you gave this one a listen.

♥ this song! One of my fave Stones songs! Please check out their song: Waiting on a Friend also they screwed up a lyric near the end. It should be: I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky

[@jacqueline4514]

The Stones truly have many different sounds/moods; have to keep going! Hell, their song “Miss You” is Disco!!🔥

A girl close to Mick Jagger unexpectedly died and he is in mourning. He's depressed and in a dark unhappy mood.

This is my absolute favorite Rolling Stones song ~ Brian Jones plays the Sitar in this one

[@vincentdarrah]

This is my favorite Rolling Stones song. It makes me think that this song is something Jim Morrison would have done

[@giarogers]

Exactly - I so agree !!!

[@chriso6719]

Canadian band "The Tea Party' covered this. Their lead singer ,Jeff Martin, sounds ,and even looks ,similar to Jim Morrison.

[@lordessducky8494]

@@chriso6719 , Eric Burdon and War also did a great cover of this song.

As a middle-aged dude now, this song rolled across my ears with the TV show Tour of Duty and completely changed the way I looked at the Stones and the "hippie era" of music. I was (am) a metal head and didn't want anything to do with that hippy-dippy crap and then this came along and I was captivated how dark it was. After that I dug into Pink Floyd (now my absolute all-time favorite band along with Tool), Beatles, David Bowie and so much more. I realized that the hippy music wasn't all flower-power and open love (though Bowie's Memories of a Free Festival and really early Beatles stuff is still a bit too happy for me - 😅), but actually discussing real subjects, specifically the darkest theme of all, war (obviously due to Vietnam). This song actually unlocked a world of music for me that I had panned as inferior to the fast, driving, aggressive metal I loved (big Megadeth, Iron Maiden and AC/DC fan back in the day). I will be forever grateful to the Stones and that TV show for unlocking a world of some of the best music ever made. And then the '90's grunge era came and I said, "This is our '60's baby! Another music revolution is here!" Edit: Also, there is some misinterpreted lyrics at the end of the song in this video. "I wanna see your face - Painted Black" is actually just "I wanna see it painted - painted black". And the worst one was, "I wanna see the sun, flying high in the sky." which is completely contrary to the message of the song and he actually says, "I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky." A much more appropriate lyric for the overarching theme of the song.

[@BillGraper]

Want to be surprised by the Rolling Stones? Try "Angie," and the 90's ballad, "Out Of Tears."

[@sobrevalorado]

Two of tbeir worst Songs. CONGRATS, DUDE

[@ANNEAVES]

Love this reaction!!!!! Does your shirt say Oklahoma? I am in OKC. Anyway this is my personal favorite song of theirs. At the time it came out an interview with one of the Stones said that this was really written about soldiers coming back from Vietnam who had died fighting for this country. I also love" Lets Spend The Night Together." I've watched several of your reactions and it warms my ❤ a person who grew up in this era to know you kids wish you lived in this era with this music. That's a huge compliment to these truly talented singers. I will tell you we were kind of spoiled. Someone would say did you know the Beatles have a new song out? or Chicago or Elton John or the Eagles or Lionel Richie or Elvis and on and on. I'm ashamed to say I took for granted all the talent that I experienced. That's why I appreciate so much some of you on KZbin are bringing back this music. Thank you

[@Purplespice250]

You guys should listen to no more mr nice guy by Alice cooper, it’s an amazing song

Only Women Bleed is a great song too.
