"Painted" was a song created during the sessions that led to the recording of Grey Daze's first studio album, Wake Me.
Background
Jonathan Krause came up with the musical idea for "Painted", describing it as a "mostly bass driven song".[1] It was written with the band's first guitarist Steve Mitchell.
During a Grey Daze live performance at the Rally Kap Sports Bar, Chester introduced the song saying: "This next song is about a boy. The boy who thinks that nobody understands the way he lives, you know? The boy who thinks that everybody's after him. And nobody wants to be his friend."[2]
On October 6, 1994, the very first day of working on Wake Me, the album's producer David Knauer recorded Grey Daze playing live in his studio to see what they had in store for their debut album. He recorded their performance straight to DAT tape and had Chester say the name of every song so it was documented on tape as well.[3] "Painted" was among the songs that didn't make the album.
