The Rolling Stones Still Rock

Back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and maybe even in the 90s you heard this duo. Hearing them NOW though, shows that these guys are CLASSIC ROCK STARS!!!!!  All from Britain, these 4 guys have adjusted their songs and of course experimented with various styles of rock.

Here's a current line up of these icons:

1) Mick Jagger: Lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica
2) Keith Richards: Guitar, lead and backing vocals, electric and acoustic guitar
3) Ronnie Wood: Slide, lap and pedal steel guitars; occasional bass
4)Charlie Watts: Drums


There you go guys and gals, now you're more familiar with the "Legends of Rock"!!! Below is "Paint It Black", and YOU can guess the meaning of it (also, the words are below the video!):



Lyrics:

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors 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 and it has been 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 seagull 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 colors 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
Yeah!
