Here is my 2nd post for the color song challenge. It is "Paint it Black," by the Rolling Stones. “Paint it Black” was written by Mick Jaggar and Kieth Richards.
The song's lyrics describe blackness and depression through colour-based metaphors. The song describes grief suffered by the unexpected loss of a partner.
The song was influenced by Stone's founder and former leader Brian Jones's interest in Moroccan music. It was the band's first song to feature a sitar.

A great song, often seen as capturing the state of absolute depression perfectly

Not a typical Stones song, but that's what has made the Stones so enduring!
