Paint It Black (Rolling Stones) music reaction

Perhaps all of our souls have been "black" at some point, and all we want is for the world to just go away -- or better yet, turn to black itself. And so it goes with this genius piece of musical artwork, but the eastern-themed, hard-driving musicality lifts the lyrical nihilism into a sort-of hopeful and thoughtful atmosphere. Simply brilliant, one of the greatest of all time.
