The Rolling Stones – Paint It, Black (Official Lyric Video)

This is the piece of music Mana Kawabe used for her short program in 2023.

The sitar that resonates from the opening and the lyrics depicting a world drained of color and steeped in despair bring a unique tension to the ice.

It’s a signature work by the British rock band The Rolling Stones, released as a single in May 1966.

It has also been used in many visual works, including the film Full Metal Jacket.

While figure skating often evokes images of graceful melodies, an aggressive rock sound like this is also a perfect match when delivering a powerful performance.

The refreshing background music is The Rolling Stones’ “She’s A Rainbow,” a song released in 1967 that was also used in an Apple iMac commercial in the past.

Wild HorsesThe Rolling Stones8rank/position

The Rolling Stones – Wild Horses (Acoustic / Lyric Video)

This is a song by the legendary British rock band, The Rolling Stones.

It’s included on the classic album Sticky Fingers, released in April 1971.

With a sound that incorporates elements of country rock and a distinctive tack piano tone, it’s a ballad that truly resonates.

Using wild horses as its motif, the theme expresses uncontrollable emotions and a sense of distance, and is said to reflect the loneliness of life on tour at the time.

There’s also a famous anecdote that The Flying Burrito Brothers—featuring Gram Parsons, who was close to the Stones—released their own version on an album in 1970, ahead of the Stones’ release.

In 1996, an acoustic re-recording was issued as a single from the album Stripped.

It’s a track you’ll want to savor alone on a quiet night.

The Rolling Stones – Angry (Official Music Video)

The legendary British rock band The Rolling Stones have released their first new song in about three years, “Angry,” the lead single from the album Hackney Diamonds.

Its intro, featuring a guitar riff in open G tuning and a distorted lead guitar tone, is simple yet instantly grabs the listener.

The lyrics portray the agony and conflict of a relationship on the verge of collapse while still conveying affection for the other person.

Created by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, “Angry” is supreme rock ’n’ roll born from a career spanning more than half a century.

Now in their 80s, their overwhelming energy is something we’d all love to tap into.

Gimme ShelterThe Rolling Stones10rank/position

The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter (Official Lyric Video)

Gimme Shelter by the British rock band The Rolling Stones was created in response to the Vietnam War.

It is included on the 1969 album Let It Bleed.

The lyrics vividly depict the tragedies caused by war.

A conflict that can break out over something trivial ends up taking lives, robbing people of their homes, and destroying their livelihoods.

The song conveys a powerful condemnation of war, declaring that a world without love is unacceptable.
