LYRICS:

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours 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 newborn baby, it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing 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 setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours 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 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

I love how marnie dressed like Wednesday, super cute!

[RobLandes]

Absolutely love this version guys, great piano part!

[TiffanyAllen]

I love how you always have fun with these covers without overproducing them to the point that the theme takes precedence over the music itself. It's a difficult balance to achieve, but you're really good at it.

[millerseaton]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this you guys!!! I'm a cellist and can say that this is by far the best performance of this cover on YouTube, TikTok... everywhere! And the addition of the piano part as the orchestra is the icing on top! 👏👏👏

[CelloCircle]

it’s insane how many insane technical things they are in this that you played so effortlessly

[Music-rdxq]

The two instruments blending together creates such a powerful sound! The section that begins at 0:45 sounded like something fit for Pirates of the Caribbean. Fantastic!

[chknoodle]

This is some god-tier audio quality, better than Netflix!

[thezebratracker]

Best version of those cello arpeggios I have seen by far. Nobody else has really managed to nail those. Well done.

[onkelbenzrustbustersfahrze]

The Cello is such an powerful sounding Instrument. I love this Sound so much 😍

[scarlet_lovers]

I finally found a video how cellists plays paint it black full song

[fletcherfranklin]

O boy those double stops!. Unbelievable! How you managed to memorise the whole piece leaves me scratching my head. No wonder you are one of the best cellists in the world sir!

[SLSMusic]

Incredible arrangement and video presentation, just WOW!

[MennoJHvanderReijden]

As the first episode sort of made a standard I was smitten with Wednesday’s rendition on the balcony. You’re the first couple using not only the cello, but also Thing and braids and piano in your version. Fabulous! Thanks for sharing…

[johnm]

Awesome! You make contemporary music sound like movements from classical works!

[keithbrandon]

I remember well walking along the road with my 'transister' radio glued to my ear and just loving this number! Hearing it played like this is just as exciting!! Thanks so much 👍 👍 👏

[slayte_yippee]

I loved listening to and seeing you guys play! the part where Marnie's hand, as if Thing, crawled onto Patrick's shoulder, was a great little addition.

[ikarishinjifrfr]

This is my favourite song, and hearing it in cello by Wednesday and you, was absolutely awesome.

[selenatorres]

You guys never cease to amaze me with your talent and skill!! ❤

[marymcknight]

Love this rendition! I watched the whole first season of Wednesday. Couldn't get enough of it.
