RE: SteemitCentral Lyrics Challenge – Day 8/60 – “Paint it Black” by The Rolling Stones / Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Fortunately, the song ends. Hopefully, so does anybody’s grief.
This is quite true. In the end, everybody's grief ends just like the song came to an end and there is no further thing to be painted black.
This is a song that touches the soul, telling us the meaninglessness and heartbreak that are entangled within the net of a grieving heart. Well, the writer does not have to worry about painting the nose of his dog (if he has one) because it is already black.
And the dog is not even grieving!
I had this song on a Stones album way back in the mid 70s. (Yes, there was civilization back then, and I was alive!!)
Back then, I understood most of the song, but not all. I did not realize then that he was watching the funeral procession of his love.
Writing these posts makes me not only listen to these old favorite songs, but also to closely read the lyrics to fully understand everything these "poets" are saying.
For me, composing these posts is a true joy and a great experience. A bit of nostalgia, with a bit of education. Thanks for the motivation!
I am quite happy to learn that composing these lyrics are nostalgic for you. It's really a wonderful experience for me too. I've learnt a number of songs from your posts and the posts of others. Sometimes, I Google the lyrics and try to listen to the songs. And that has been amazing!
Thanks for keeping these great lyrics coming. Cheers!
