‘KEEP GREAT MUSIC ALIVE’ Enter Promo Code ‘Jamel’

I came to understand this song when my 17 year old son passed away...all my friends walked away...too hard to watch me grieve...thanks for doing this song you understand it completely and it means a lot to me...sometimes my heart is still black...I miss my son Chance very much...😢💔🖖🏻🇨🇦

Written in the early 60’s when the Beatles were writing pleasurable, light-hearted songs, whereas the Stones were the bad boys and their songs were associated with the dark side. This is a perfect example.

Damn Jamel, I've been listening to this song for over 50 years and never connected the line of cars to a funeral. That's why it's nice to get someone else's perspective on a song. Otherwise I had the gist of the songs meaning.

The lyrics are wrong at the end. It's "I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky." Not "don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky."

Yes! This song perfectly captures how I felt in the days before my dad's funeral. Looking around at people smiling, laughing, eating, drinking. Wearing their summer clothes. And I was silent and resentful and hateful and knowing it was illogical. He wasn't their dad. But I wanted it painted black, too.

Full Metal Jacket, The Devil's Advocate, and many others. Used in so many war movies. One of their most iconic songs.

I grew up with this song, HOW DID I NEVER REALIZE IT WAS ABOUT A FUNERAL?! You literally blew my mind just now...

Besides the lyrics, the star of this song is Brian Jones’ sitar.

They don't write songs like that anymore. No more depth, no more creativity in the lyrics. This is art. A combination of real music, written by real musicians and words. What songs used to be. Today are left with mumbles and lots of vulgarity. Mostly. I blame the Music labels. They are feeding the minds and radio waves with garbage. Intentionally targeting vulnerable brains to buy into nonsense and mediocrity.

Theme Song for a Vietnam Television Show Back In 80’s Called “Tour Of Duty”!! Also in the Vietnam movie called Platoon as well!!

The whole song is about death, depression and suicidal thoughts. It’s deeper than most people catch.

You don't want people around but you also notice that people try to avoid you. Grief is an excruciating feeling.

I like how every chorus he’s more and more serious about painting it black just by changing the way he sings. So good

My little brother just passed away a month ago at the age of 32. I heard this song plenty of times but now it takes on a whole new meaning for me. I never really did a deep dive into the lyrics and thought about what he was saying but now... give me chills.

Two separate things....the lyrics are about depression and they are amazing. The music, the sitar, all musicians on the track, are amazing. The melody of the song is what truly makes it masterpiece.

I’ve probably heard this song 500 times in my life, and I never once thought about the line of black cars being a funeral before. That’s brilliant, dude. Well noticed. Thank you for that. :)

As a singer/songwriter, I'm amazed how the Stones have kept on making killer music for my entire life time. I came alive with the British invasion. Beatles, Stones, Animals, etc. They still inspire awe in me.

I was 15 years old when this song was released. In those days you had to search for good music on your transistor radio. No KZread or anything.

“Angie” is a must one of best ballads ever, really don’t like to call it that though
