The Vines – Paint It Black Lyrics 18 years ago
I think it was just a rumor the Vines would do a cover...It would be awesome if they did it. It's been covered by a lot of bands - Gob, Avengers, the Animals... - but actually I believe it's originally by the ROLLING STONES

The Vines – 1969 Lyrics 18 years ago
I DON'T think this song is about drugs, it's about music and society. I think he feels that he is an outcast, that everyone acts in a certain way and he is different. He's "living through the sound of the dead," through music. It's 1969 in his head - a different time, and probably the music from 1969 inspires him. It a refuge for him, a place he can go to figure himself out (his "soul"). And yes, drugs help him too. But I think the last verse sums it up:

Here we go
There I stand
I'm a seed
Of a man...

He doesn't know how to act like everyone else does, he's raw and innocent, and while everyone else moves forward, he stands alone.

That's my interpration, and to me it is such a relatable song. I hope I die before the Vines do, LOL.
