"Paint It Black"

 This (originally released as "Paint It, Black") is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. Jointly credited to the songwriting partnership of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was first released as a single on 6 May 1966, and later included as the opening track to the US version of their 1966 album Aftermath.  

Some interesting fthings about this song are that it was created in 1966.  This song is such a progressive, fresh sound for a song today and a fine example of Mick Jagger's voice instrumentation.  He had a way with some phrases, didn't he.  It would have been fun working on this song.  Also, I think that when Ciara covered it as a sound track to the remake of WestWorld, you can see what an incredibly created and skilled song it really is. 

I remember that in the movie, "Taken", they had a green door, I think.  I thought of this song when I saw the green door scene.  Because details like color don't matter when creativity is rearing its head.
