Darkness Darkness - Robert Plant

Here is a video of Robert Plant doing Darkness Darkness from his Dreamland album (2002). A haunting dark & gothic song and one of my favorites on that album. I saw Robert perform this song live at the Orpheum Theater in Boston & it's one of those songs that pulls you in and you're on this journey with Robert, you feel what he feels. You feel a sense of yearning. Yearning - a deep feeling within, longing, wanting, reaching out...it's very seductive, so vampiric. I love music that touches the soul and this song is one of those.


Darkness Darkness - Robert Plant
(Jesse Colin Young)

Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning, To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here
I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, fill this emptiness with light now
Oh with light now.
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
In the silence of your deep
In the - oh oh yeah
In the summer baby
come on come on come on baby...
