So, there is a challenge where you list a different song every day that relates to the quest. But, being me and being difficult, I wanted to take the task of doing it for ONE band which would be Black Veil Brides. However, I cannot do that since I would have failed day one
A Song with a color in the title. Surprisingly, a band like Black Veil Brides does not have a song with a color in the title. (Actually, they have a cover, but I wanted to use that song for a different day) SO I am cheating and I am also including Andy Black Songs because Andy Black is Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides. It still counts right? Right? I am saying it counts So Meh
Anyway! The song for today is Paint It Black by Andy Black.
This was such a beautiful song seeing it performed live. I saw Andy Black live last year for the first time and...I cried. I love him so much. Andy and I go way way back and his music has always made me feel at home.
Andy wrote the song Paint It Black, when he was having a hard time with his then girlfriend, now wife, Juliet Simms. Anytime he would have an argument, he would just walk away and nothing would get solved.
The song Paint It Black is not walking away, but painting it in a different color to either block out his ignorance or to paint it so they can both understand the situation.
I think that is a beautiful way to do things in a relationship. Communication is needed and this song really explains how important it is.
So yeah, I am finally doing a challenge! I don't know if it will be daily, but I thought it would be fun to try out!

Andy Black is amazing. He was on the radio for a little bit with his songs Ribcage and We Don't Have To Dance.

I did use the internet, I am trying to find songs for only ONE band because it is a challenge and I wanted to make it more challenging. I said that.

I have never heard Andy Black before. Is this the same song The Rolling Stones sang?

@JimBo452020 yep, I just looked at the lyrics and that is definitely a different song.

He is amazing, very pop rock sound. I have been following Andy for a very long time, before Black Veil Brides (his original band) even made their first music video debut.
