*****
"'She's a Rainbow' is a song by the English rock 'n roll band The Rolling Stones and was featured on their 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties Request.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, 'She's a Rainbow' was recorded on May 18, 1967. It is most famous for its vibrant piano by Nicky Hopkins, Brian Jones' use of the mellotron, and its rich lyricism by Jagger.
John Paul Jones, later of Led Zeppelin, arranged the strings of this song during his session days. Despite rumours, none of The Beatles performs on this track. Backing vocals were by Jagger, Richards, Jones and Bill Wyman.
The lyrics in the chorus were borrowed from the song 'She Comes in Colors' by Love.
The intro of the album version was recorded outside Chichester Magistrates Court. It is the court's PR-man who directed the journalists into their positions just before Mick Jagger and Keith Richards left the building after receiving their sentence in 1967.
It was released as a single in December 1967 and went to #25 in the U.S. It is included on a large number of the Stones' hits compilations that cover this period, including Forty Licks. It was performed occasionally on the 1997-98 Bridges to Babylon Tour.
The song was used as signature tune in the Danish Radio television serial Super Carla in 1968.
The song was used in an 1999 Apple iMac commercial, advertising its availability in several colours.
The song was covered by Bad Brains, World of Twist and German artist, Nena for her album Cover Me.
The song features in the advertisement 'Play-Doh' for Sony BRAVIA showing in Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Denmark, France, Russia, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Colombia, Thailand, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Greece from October 5 2007. In addition, it was first heard in a commercial for Sony's HDNA in the United States during the AFC Championship game between the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots on January 20, 2008.
The song was recently used in an advertisement for the Steven Spielberg-produced Showtime series 'The United States of Tara.'"
She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
when She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
when She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?
She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?
She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
