Isakov, Gregory Alan - Dark, Dark, Dark Lyrics

Loving your music from Idaho Falls. Wow.

1:18
WAKE UP Marie, for the
seasoned
turds

The songs in my pocket just crumble apart, won't you sing me something for the dark? <3 <3

Says in the caption she’s got legs for the cheese lol

te amo greg

Always admired Gregory. Loved seeing him live

Won't you sing me something for the dark

Heard a few of his songs before, but tonight I heard this one on the radio tonight. Had me looking it up real quick

sangres? can someone explain that lyric

Sangre de Cristo mountains in Colorado

Just saw this man live with my little sis - awesome. 10/10.

why do i fell in love with your song so fast

I feel alive in this song.

"A five-dollar wine as a blanket inside"...

Love the grit -
So little artist have it - keep pooring it on! Let's hear more ! Thanks for being you and thank you

I suddenly have an overwhelming desire to drive over La Veta Pass...........

There are at least 9 people out there that know nothing about good music. Love this local musician

Your music is so inspiring!

This song sounds like a hybrid of Stable Song and Saint Valentine:
"Maria’s on the hill
she was all 'side of her eyes' " = "remember when our songs were just like prayers"
"lay up the pages on a traveling bed" (+other lyrics in the chorus) = "Ring like silver, ring like gold"
"watch the Blood of Christ Mountains, oh they all turn red
" (+ other lyrics in the chorus) = "She's out plucking strings in the pouring rain
"

harika be

Loving it, just no stopping him.

I've always wondered who Maria is . She's written about in a lot of his songs.

Maria is the name of his banjo player ( cross dresser).

From the uk and just came by this group by chance,then since cannot stop playing their music.fantastic!

Did you alexi murdoch work a deal? Dig the lyrical rewrite and the climactic build and the bridge.

I was lucky enough to see him perform this last week. He's too talented.

Don't know this dude but I'm about to get on that.

New album in the mail. Nice evening! 😀

This year, Christmas comes on October 5th! Just one more sleepless night, and then it will be here! Anyone else feel like that, too?

He is so unreal, been a super fan, first song I heard was "All There Is" and I fell in love with it immediately. His music is prolly one of the big reason why I kept on fighting this depression and this life, I don't know how I discovered his song but for some reason, here I am now, its like a gift. It's just so indescribable, being the only artist that I listened to without skipping any of the song in his albums (prolly except the song California Open Back). His music somehow for some reason supresses the chemical imbalance in my brain or something haha and Im so glad his new album launch is almost here. I even jokingly said to myself when I first heard the announcement of his upcoming album that "I have another reason to live till October 5 and another 500 years to listen to it over and over again." I was so desperate that I also jokingly sent Sarah, @suitcasetownmusic 's manager an email asking for a position for Gregory's road crew, half the wage, but I get to sit on the front stage every show. Sarah was so nice to reply but unfortunately, there isn't any spot for the job. Hahahaha. I just want to share this to everyone because Gregory's music helped me so much going through this rough road and I want to make everyone know that his music and lyrics are more than just songs, it made huge impact on one's life so please continue to support him, spread his music to everyone you care and love, because it will surely make a positive impact, small or big, or like in my case, save someone for harming themselves. It's what his music brings. Appreciation of things. If there's any chance Gregory would read this, I just really want to say thank you so much for another great set of music, my depression got even worse when my dad passed away not over a month ago but there you are, timingly sharing your new songs that we'll be able to hear on your new album. Though it was already given that it's something to look forward to, over over again, I was so at peace and one with myself listening to your new songs (and old) during those darkest moments of my life. It's such a shame that I'm thousand miles away from you, and it will be literally my dying wish to see you in person. I love you Greg.

Love,
Your one of the few or prolly the only super fan in the Philippines,

Anthony

(p.s. it's literally my first time being this emotional when writing a comment, my ex never even gotten any messages this long and intense as I very rarely say stuff and post on social media hahahaha).

Same here! Gregory helped me fight depression and anxiety attack. Fan niya din ako. Sobraaaaa! ❤

Anthony, I just spoke to Greg in Brussels and he was very emotional when I read him your message. He told me he was speechless and that he was still amazed at how people find comfort in his music. He wishes you a lot of strength in your life! I'm getting ready for the concert now :)

@whipy Hey whipy Im so sorry it took me a long time to respond. Im having some trouble but im doing okay now. Man. I cant really tell you how much that is to me. Literally i dont know what to say. I got chills all over and feel like crying. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much, I dont know you personally man, but I will be eternally grateful for what youve done and i will keep remembering you and what you did for me, whipy. I really hope one day i can fly and buy tickets to his concert. Keep in touch and always take care.

Anthony Cortez No problem brother :) Stay strong!

@whipy you're the reason why I still haven't given up on humanity. Love you.

Simon and garfunkle banged and had a son... this is him.

This kind of songs are for soul peace, just amazing.😊

love it.

I was able to see him twice last year here in California and at both shows he played at this song. Both times I was absolutely blown away and could not wait until I was able to hear a record version of it. I really hope the rest of the album is even half as good as a song. We will be seeing him again also on 6th and San Francisco can't wait to hear the new album played live

Half moon is not a real moon phase

Stunning. One of the best songs of the year.

his music fills my soul <3
so excited for Evening Machines!!!

Amazing

So excited for the next album. Thank you for making killer music.

Gregory, a fucking genius <3

It's beginning is similar to that of The Lumineers-Sleep on the Floor.

Can you open for Damien Rice US Tour? Please???

How about Damien rice opens for Gregory...

In your dreams. I like GAI, he's good saw him at Red Rocks. Both are quite good, but I like Damo better.

There's definitely something spiritual about this song.

God, this music touches parts of my soul I didn't know I had.

Wow, what a masterpiece!

Maria from "O City Lights"

Oh sooo good! Finally...

Love this! Can't wait for Amsterdam in november!

favorite of the new stuff that I've heard so far

I'm so excited for the new album. My playlist will be very long then as I play full albums. 😊 Thank you, GAI!

If only i could marry this song.. <3

This song makes me enjoy my name more... Now I wish someone would sing this to me, haha.

He is like a musician character singing to me from a long lost John Steinbeck novel. My favorite male musician / band.

AMAZING GAI

New gregory alan isakov album... What a style has this man got!

First Ben Howard & now new GAI songs? What a lovely week it has been.

A man of culture I see

So excited!!!

!! amazing, amazing, amazing !! :) Greetings from Portugal!!

Wow! I love it! Can't wait for the new album!

I don't like any of these singles.
.. I feel like the rest of the album will be better

This song is so great I just wish the instrumental wasn’t so “poundy”, I can’t think of any other way to describe it. If done closer to the style of chemicals I would love it even more

God DAMN I am hyped for this album. I've listened to this song half a dozen times already.

i love it!

I want to see Gregory live so badly. I hope he comes down to South America someday.

I was so lucky to see him and Josh Ritter on the same program. It was epic. I will never forget.

Just saw him two nights ago and it is really something to experience.

good job Gregory! excellent song

This is fresh as hell

October 5th I'm calling in sick so I can listen to the album all day

I’m so in love with this music, I wish it could just play everywhere I go

❤️❤️❤️

GAI puts his whole heart and soul into everything he produces and the World is so much more blessed for it.

You are all goodness GAI. Evening cool breeze under sunset sky in the last day of September with you at RedRocks will be sublime. Thank you for your labor of love.

I’M SO READY TO SEE HIM LIVE

😍🔥

We knew one Maria from O' City light and today we have introduced with another Maria. Are they same Maria GAI? You have made our world more beautiful Gregory. Thank You.

Does it matter?

Yes, because ,Through the hills, you can hear them sing, Ah Maria, Ah Maria

Very interesting point!

She's actually in quite a few songs.

Ave Maria

Im glad he's finally getting the credit he deserves. I'm seeing more of his shows selling out. I've seen him play 7 times in 4 different states, and his shows are amazing. If you are considering going to a show, just go, you won't be let down.

Traveled from VA to CO to see him at Red Rocks just two nights ago...AMAZING!

Im so envious, it will be for sure, my dying wish to see him perform. if only i had the money to fly from the Philippines to see him in person 😭😭

I live in Belgium and Gregory's coming back to Brussels on November 21st. The great thing is that he's still relatively unknown here so he plays small venues. Very special and personal performances. Ugh, now I gotta go get myself a ticket for Cologne, too!

Can't agree more; his shows are truly quite a different and surreal concert experience. The crowds are generally incredibly respectful and his music usually commands absolute attention and bewilderment from the crowd.

I’ve only seen him once (he doesn’t exactly come to Switzerland on a regular basis) and that must have been one of the best nights of my life. That show was outstanding

Everything you do has your soul in it. Why wouldn't it be beautiful? Best Thursday. 💗 Darkness is what healers study.

Here before millions!!!

Looking forward to the full release of this album. GAI always strums my heart strings.

This is exactly what I needed this morning. Can't wait for the full record!

One of my new favourites!

She's all smoke, she's all nicotine, she's addiction....

Maria’s on the hill
she was all “side of her eyes”
a five-dollar wine as a blanket inside
lay up the pages on a traveling bed
watch the Blood of Christ Mountains, oh they all turn red

howl at the half moon, radio queen
she’s all smoke, she’s all nicotine
the songs in my pocket just crumble apart
won’t you sing me something for the dark

Maria’s got wings, she’s got legs for the sea
a captain’s coat and a note for me
wake up Marie, before the season turns
set your dash for the coast, watch the Sangres burn

howl at the half moon, radio queen
she’s all smoke, she’s all nicotine
the songs in my pocket just crumble apart
won’t you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark

I wonder if the five-dollar wine was Dandelion Wine

Made my day ❤️

YES YES YES

Have been listening to horrible phone recorded live versions of this song for months. Such an amazing song and lovely to hear in it's original form.

Amazing as always!! see on the 4th of december in london!!!! CANT WAIT

Like it so much! Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

In love with you

Gregory ❤️

[Verse 1]
The rays on a hill
She was outside of her eyes
Five dollar wine has a blanket inside
[?] pages on a traveling bend
Watch the [?] as they all turn red

[Chorus]
Howl at the half moon, radio queen
She's all smoke, she's all nicotine
Songs in my packages crumble [?]
Won't you sing me something for the dark

[Verse 2]
[?] got wings
She's got legs for the sea
Captain's coat and a note from me
Wake up Marie before the seasoning turns
Set the dash for the [?] burn

[Chorus]
Howl at the half moon, radio queen
She's all smoke, she's all nicotine
Songs in my packages crumble [?]
Won't you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark
[Outro]
Won't you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark
Won't you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark
Won't you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark
Won't you sing me something for the dark
Won't you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark

This is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time. SO HYPED FOR THE ALBUM!!!!

Love it! Can't wait to see him play next month.

Those mornings when I wake up to new music from Gregory Alan Isakov I go from begrudgingly waking up to “this is going to be an awesome morning !”

Byron Vasquez Jr.
+1
My night went from failing at untying inner maelstroms to embracing the aesthetic

rorrim ytrid and he sang you something for the dark dark dark? 😉

This is true.

Been having it pre-ordered for a while now! Can't wait to get my copy of the album when it comes out!!
