Plant, Robert - Darkness, Darkness Lyrics

The Youngbloods' song is very spiritual and moving. Plant sings to that side where, in our nescient darkness, we yearn for the light. In 1969 I was meditating in an abandoned copper mine in the California foothills, living in solitude searching for the light. This song is my generation's anthem.

not enough white people

Nevermind that this man is one of the greatest vocalists and artists of our time, he caught atmosphere of this song really good. When you hear Youngbloods version (which is masterpiece on it's own), you get totally different picture. This one, from singing, to lead guitar just breaks me. You really get the lyrics when you listen to this one from Robert's Dreamland. What an ode to musical masters by a musical master.

Beautiful song and video. Love Robert. 💕

A very haunting performance by Plant

Une des plus fabeuleuses voix du rock'n'roll

Beautiful but the youngbloods is more haunting with the violin.

to much treble....

Comforting beyond belief.

Beautiful always Robert Plant ...talented beyond measure 💛

Soo.i listened to the youngbloods original version. I like it. But...when the greatest singer from the greatest band ever sings your song..what an honor..soo much more emotion here..my favorite vocalist since 83...

Que voz tan profunda, emotiva, tan sexy.

QUE DECEPÇÃO HEIN! E EU QUE GOSTAVA TANTO DO LED ZEPPELIN! PLAGIAR MÚSICAS DOS OUTROS! MIL DECEPÇÕES PARA VOCÊ!

Better than youngbloods love me some Robert Plant

Im sure I have a 'live' version that seems about 7minutes longer, goes on from where this left off with some awesome searing guitar....
Still seems a 'bit' short, but that could be because some of it keeps going on, in the head...
...like real music should!
Thank you, for everything Mr Plant.

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...

WHERE IN THE HELL did a GOD AWESOME CREATIVE HUMAN BEING named Robert Plant, come from??? NOT FROM THIS PLANET!!! Not only is your voice absolutely blinding as I sit in my corner seat, shut my eyes and tear up listening to your lyrics as the screaming Page, strumming Jones and drumming Bonham, ROAR!!! I am TRULY BLESSED to have the pleasure of hearing you play until my demise and a Whole Lotta Love when my SPIRIT RISES into 'Darkness, Darkness... GODAMMIT, gracias!!!

This is not Led Zeppelin....no Page, Jones, or Bonham....just the greatness of ROBERT PLANT!

Song was written by Jesse Colin Young, from the Youngbloods("Get Together")...

video is well done! tells a story from beneath the deep, up on to the surface of the soul, shines a lightfor all, but few have seen.

This is cut short??? Not complete song.

Плант великолепен !

Shared view many times, so's much darkness, pushing Pro-Active Positive Response to cause Light to Consume the Darkness. Justice VS more Injustice for Humanities, Freedom and Environment Native Cultures My heart.

great song!

your not the only one feeling old. i remember taking this album along with paul butterfield's east-west to class as a show and tell.... it didnt go over very well a you might have imagined because we were an "alternative" family.... back in '71 lol!!!

Thank ....

mmmmmmmmmmmm touches my soul x

6 dislikes, wtf....., no class no taste,

No respect, no respect at all

Not as good as the original version by The Youngbloods

@Geoff Strum MY! OH! MY!¬WESTERNERS: or AH'TSA-MA!
which comes across as something like 'LOOK AT I! - ...as we say in the TAR/'Back in the TAR Boys, you don't know how lucky you are....', ---> Only THEY could leave Comments like this & plaster 'Free_Tibet' stickers ALL over their cars! Turn up at a 'talk' by a Lama & after trying to 'blag' a few EXTREMELY reasonable 'admittances' - Go! 'terming' around the 'internal' Coffee-Shoppe & Milk Bar" MAN, I GOT ENLIGHTENMENT!....after a Talk - Begging ''Blessings!'', AH'TSA-MA!

M'sieu STRUM [prob. NOT a real surname]
'By All The Yungdrung Sempas dang Yungdrung Semmas', Have you EVER heard the saying 'BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER', You bastion of Erudition you?

Well...Just APPLY Same to the 'sense' Emanating from your Ear - Who is to Judge for EVERY one WHAT is BEST? YOU! ...really - THAT is THE FIRST 'impediment' to 'ENLIGHTENMENT' - Better said: 'You prefer the original version'....fair enough - at least then YOU - Aren't Judging for the Whole World!

+Sandy Grungerson HAAAA

@jim adams lol....thx, jim...

its Rick James' plea for help, cocaine is a helluva drug

I had the honor of meeting Robert Plant when I was a towncar driver in Phoenix Az. I did not know who Robert Plant was but he treated me with respect and let me strap on Jimmy Pages white Stratocaster that was set up with as many insturments as they could fit in their den where I am sure they jammed on many songs. Robert Plant is a sincere and respectable person that in conversation was a down to earth good person. I spent a total of about 1 hour and a half just shooting the breeze, he sensed that I did not reconize who he was and we discussed some good topics and I respect his privacy so I just keep our conversation in good memory, I wished I would have kept his credit card slip but he left me a good tip.

That's an amazing and wonderful story. Lucky you. Meeting a virtuoso with the calm of anonymity. Swell.

He was probably glad to have a conversation with someone who wasn't worshiping him :)

Well handled Mr. Menges.

not even close to the youngbloods version.

Yeah, Plant's version is much better. But I respect the creators.

robert fammi sognare ancora per molto tempo

one of my favourites!

I still like the YOUNGBLOODS much better. But PLANT is good as well with his version.

Darkness, darkness be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away oh, this pain of knowing
Fill this emptiness with light now
Oh, with light now <3

I was lucky enough to witness Robert Plant sing this entire album when he opened for the Who.

Fuck the who

Awesome song even better when baked

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Stuff Robert,
Jesse Colin Young wrote a wonderful song and this version is the Best!

I guess I'm officially getting old.  Only 20K views for someone who was iconic when I was growing up.

scorpionjs everybody has their time. Nobody can be on top forever. :)

Robert can. I'm 14 and I have some friends of my age who love Led Zep

Comforting....  ~ 

For IRC.... RIP
