Paint it Black (Wednesday Addams / Westworld)

Paint it Black (Wednesday Addams / Westworld) - Cello Cover

Рік тому

Had to join in on the fun and record a version of this Wednesday Addams cello arrangement of The Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black" from the Netflix series!

I started watching the show last week and I've been pleasantly surprised! Love all of the characters and how committed the actors are to their roles, the fun mystery of the plot, and just the right amount of camp. Also love to see the cello representation!
When I heard this piece in the first episode I immediately thought back to Ramin Djawadi's memorable arrangement of the same song from HBO's "Westworld," so I thought I'd throw in a bit of that suspenseful intro too!

Growing up I had a neighbor who would play cello and she was hired at the Opera. She would play the most beautiful pieces and it felt like such a treat when she played late in the evenings and us kids would fall asleep while listening to her play the cello. As an adult I can understand why she never got a noise complaint by any of the neighbors because we got to listen for free, what people paid lots of money to listen to.

@flmis Рік тому

You feel mournful at the death of your sassy aunt but it has to come that your mom feels more energetic, happy, calmer and loving to you since your sassy aunt's death. You and your siblings has felt very suspicious of this sudden change from a life of fear of being slapped in the buttcheeks with the belt by your mom to a life of happiness and lack of sorrow. So you and your siblings has begun to investigate on why this sudden change happened and also its timing exactly on your sassy aunt's death.

Yes, sting instruments are so hard! My 12 year old is pretty advanced in classical guitar, playing some level 8-9 pieces. When he started learning cello 6 months ago, left hand was easy to pick up, but bowing techniques is very difficult, a lot more thought into how to move each stroke. He thinks cello is harder than classical guitar.

The Rolling Stones version of the song is one of my favorite songs ever. Because of certain experiences I had in Iraq, the song means a lot more to me now than it did many years ago when I first heard it. This song will always have a special place in my heart because of the good memories it brings to me during one of the most stressful and difficult times in my life. Because it is a favorite song of mine, when I found out there were many versions of it coming out because of the Wednesday movie, I have listened to many of them. This is by far the best one yet.

I’ve played violin since 3 years old, although this year / last year I started learning cello . Nothing to intense like this but I have asked my teacher if I could ever play this, which one of my friends who has play for maybe like 7 years? Told me that there are lots of finger movements which is understandable. Overall I absolutely love this show. I stopped watching it, but I catch up on all the seasons with my friend 😅. Oh!, and I do play piano. Someday I hope to play somewhat like this if I practice everyday, but I think I would be too busy. I get lessons every 2 days except Saturday and Sunday. I think the whole song is very beautiful, even if it’s rock / metal I still think it’s beautiful. One last thing: my favorite character is Wednesday and Tyler ❤
