The young man walks to the church. He is on foot to the funeral of his girl. The cortege passes. He sees the hearse and the funeral wreaths. On the way he sees young women in their summer dresses and they bring back memories of the happy times they had. He hangs back, because he knows this is their final goodbye. People passing turn away, knowing not what to say. The final cars have entered the churchyard. He swallows back his grief and follows them all in.

Up next: Sympathy for the Devil... and get the lyrics. :-)

It is a funeral procession. A song about loss. Adopted by veterans of Vietnam-with reason.

[jbj]

Vietnam. Sad time, angry time, lots of darkness, this song hit home for millions.

[Llanchlo]

I believe the catchiness reflects how many cope with grief - dying inside but putting on a brave facade.

[bullzeyez]

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil , will blow your mind. Please do this song next.

[alancleveland]

For us old folks that is a flash back to Vietnam. It was used a lot during that time period!

Sympathy for the Devil and Gimmie Shelter should be next! Great Job Stacey!

The late Brian Jones ( founder of the Rolling Stones ) is playing the Indian Sitar! Brian died in 1969 and was a member of the much lamented ‘ 27 Club’. A number of Artists who passed away at the age of 27 years including Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Amy Whinehouse and others

This song is the classic proof that with a simple text and a music with a catchy rhythm, it becomes famous, translated and played all over the world, this is the result when a great band like the Rolling Stones created music. 🌺

Vietnam Veteran 1st Infantry Division 1968-1970. Had been married 6 months when I entered service. This was sort of a theme song for us in Nam! Wow! really brings back memories!!! 🇺🇸

[oehjylm]

The late great Charlie Watts on drums. RIP you understated genius.

My dad used to hang around with Brian Jones and Keith Richards in the 60s. When he died, Paint it Black was one of two Stones songs we played at his funeral.

[yoyartube]

The singing in Gimme Shelter will blow your mind.

[nickmcginley]

Some things to know for context:
Church of England (Episcopalian) churches have bright red doors on them.
A girl he knew had just died.
Funeral processions are a long line of Black Vehicles.

You nailed it, this song is about a funeral.

[JoeHicks-owrm]

This song really hit home for me in1981 when my wife of 6 years and she was only 25 years old died unnecessary from complications having our son. It was a very dark time for me and I didn't care about anything (except my son) for years. The line of black cars and flowers and my love to never come back sums it all up. I just wanted the sun to fade away and everything turn black.

[barrylavender]

The late great Brian Jones plays sitar on this. The song is indeed about a funeral. There are so many songs to choose from the Stones' catalogue as they are still going after 60 years, but you should probably react to "Satisfaction" next.

[teambanzai]

Paint It Black was the theme song for the Vietnam War drama series, Tour of Duty (1987-1990). It was also used in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket (1987).

[sumonjamal]

It's actually a very relatable song to me because I've had too many 'dark days' in my life... and listening to songs like 'Paint it black'... gives me a sense of relief that someone else has captured what I have often felt and expressed it in words.

[JaneBauer-sd]

Similar to Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones are masters of telling a story through their music. I would highly recommend listening to "Gimme Shelter" also by the Stones
