Painter Man is a song by the music group, The Creation. The song was the group's second, and most successful, single. The work itself is quite disjointed - a clear depiction of a band concentrating on each section of the song, one part at a time. Either the lyrics are being sung, or the guitars are playing, giving the image of a band which is striving for the right chords at the right time, working one minute on manipulating the guitar, the next minute the attention being focused on the backing.
