Background and composition

Song lyrics, for the most part, are meant to describe gloom and depression through the use of color-based metaphors. Initially, "Paint It Black" was written as a standard pop arrangement, funny compared to Mick Jagger for "Songs for Jewish marriages". The song depicts the extreme sadness suffered by someone who is astonished by the loss of a sudden, unexpected wife, lover, or spouse. It is often claimed that Jagger took inspiration from James Joyce's novel novel in 1922, Ulysses, taking a quote, "I must turn my head until my darkness goes", referring to the novel theme of the worldview. despair and sadness. The song itself becomes fruitful when the band's leader Brian Jones is interested in Moroccan music. It was their first song featuring a sitar instrumental. "Paint It Black" came at a crucial period in the recording history of The Rolling Stones, a time that saw collaborative songwriting Jagger and Keith Richards assert themselves as the main composers of the band's original material. This is evident in the Aftermath session, where, for the first time, the duo composed a complete playlist. In addition, Brian Jones, overshadowed by Jagger and Richards, became bored with trying to write songs, as well as conventional guitar melodies. To reduce boredom, Jones explores eastern instruments, more specifically sitar, to strengthen the musical texture and group complexity. A multi-instrumentalist, Jones was able to develop the tune of the zither in a short time, largely because of his studies under the pupil Ravi Shankar, Harihar Rao. Not long after a discussion with George Harrison, who recently recorded a sitar in "Norwegian Wood", Jones set the basic melody with an instrument that, over time, turned into being featured in "Paint It Black".

Recording

The master took "Paint It Black" recorded on March 8, 1966, at RCA Studios in Los Angeles, with record producer Andrew Loog Oldham present throughout the process. Many of the initial settings were recorded, and the key of the track was modeled after The Animals version of "The House of the Rising Sun", but The Rolling Stones were dissatisfied with the song, and considered throwing it away. However, while twirling with Hammond's organ, Bill Wyman searched for a heavier bass sound, while playing a part on his knee. Played Wyman clicked with the group, and inspired melodic tempo and eastern pentatonic melodies. Overall, the sitar was brought into the mix when Harihar Rao happened to walk in the studio with the instrument in hand.

Sitar is displayed in a song. However, contrary to popular belief, the opening riff is played by Keith Richards on guitar, as seen on The Ed Sullivan show and other live performances at the time. Sitar Jones is still heard throughout the song. In his book Brian Jones: The Making of the Rolling Stones, Paul Trynka has noted that the influence of sitar Harrison played, and, in particular, the Beatles song "Norwegian Wood" on Rubber Soul album, drew parallels in "Paint It Black" - most notably in melodic sitar Jones. In response to claims that he only imitated The Beatles, however, Jones said: "What is utter junk!" Its sitar section on the track soon became influential in developing the entire subgenre of psychedelic minor-key music. Coupled with this striking instrumental motif, equipped with Jagger droing, and a bit of nasal vocalization. In addition, "Paint It Black" is highlighted by Wyman's heavy bass, low-pitch drummer Charlie Watts, and Richards's bolero-driven guitar acoustic guitar. Soon after, Richards noted that the conclusions of the song were too much recorded, and different guitars could potentially improve the song.
