In Season 2, “Paint It Black” signifies that Sizemore is a goddamn, unoriginal hack. In context, the specific track also highlighted Hector and Co.’s willingness to resort to violence and a certain sense of nihilism. In Season 1, the use of “Paint It Black,” a “modern” song, was meant to highlight the artificiality of Wesworld’s Wild West setting.

In both instances, a cover of “Paint It Black,” plays, only in Shogun World it’s performed with traditional flutes and Japanese instruments rather than on a player piano. In Shogun World, the ronin Musashi (Hiroyuki Sanada) and his dragon-tattooed accomplice try to steal from the teahouse where Akane ( Pacific Rim’s Rinko Kikuchi) operates as a geisha. Hector and Armistice’s bloody attempted robbery of the safe in Maeve’s brothel wasn’t exactly unique. See, when Sizemore wrote narratives for all of Delos’s various parks, he self-plagiarized quite a bit. When Maeve, Sizemore, Hector, Armistice, and the two doofus technicians Felix and Sylvester get captured by some rogue swordsmen and taken into Shogun World, they see new sides of themselves. This post contains spoilers for Westworld* Season 2, Episode 5. The instrumentation is a little different in Shogun World.

Except, the last time we heard the Rolling Stones’s we were in Westworld. The genre-swapped musical cover in the fifth episode of Wesworld’s second season probably sounds familiar - not just because it’s a cover of a well-known song, but because we’ve actually heard this very song before on the show.
