I've been listening to a lot of older music recently, finding the influences of the bands I love today and I came across a brilliant song.

Could this classic be the first Emo song?

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

Hell no.

Emo is a load of shit, it's jsut goth and punk mixed up, which makes it totally unoriginal.
 
Its a great song mate. My favourite Stones song (so far).

Though I really like the one that goes...

"Look at that stupid girl"

Probably titled - Stupid Girl

But I'm not sure :) too lazy to check.

But as great as Paint It Black is... Lyrically, it seems to fit with everything I know about Emo.

It's a great song but it has no links to Emo other than i dunno.

It's not much different to The Kinks "I'm not like everybody else" in that a tenuous link could be drawn.

That's an insult to goth and punk i think :) At least goth and punk have (or had) something to offer, musically. The whole tryhard deal that is Emo is a joke,including the music.
