Driven by Brian Jones’ melancholy sitar rhythms, the stunning ‘Paint It, Black’ finds Mick Jagger conjuring an air of menace with steady stream of memorable lines. In the first verse he sings, “I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes / I have to turn my head until my darkness goes”, before later declaring “It’s not easy facing up when your whole world is black”. A highlight of the Stones catalogue, ‘Paint It, Black’ is a remarkably potent evocation of a dark frame of mind.
