Studio version of "Darkness Darkness" by Eric Burdon from the album "Darkness Darkness" (1980)

Lyrics:

Darkness, darkness

Be my pillow

Take me in and let me sleep

In the coolness of the shadow

In the silence of the deep

Darkness, darkness

Hide my yearning for the things that cannot be

Keep my mind from constant turning

Towards the thing that cannot see

Thing that cannot see,

Thing that cannot see.

Darkness, darkness

Long and lonesome is the day that brings me everything

I have felt the edge of sorrow,

I have known the depth of fear.

Darkness, darkness

Be my blanket

Trouble me with your endless night,

Take away, take away, take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness with bright

Emptiness with bright,

Emptiness with bright

Darkness, darkness

Be my blanket

Take me in and cover me

Take away, take away, take away the pain of knowing

Fill the emptiness with bright,

Emptiness with bright,

Emptiness with bright

Emptiness, loneliness

Take away

Emptiness, loneliness

Take away

My sorrow

Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge Eric Burdon fan. San Franciscan Nights, House Of The Rising Sun? Killer. But, this quazi-celtic/funk version is overwrought, bombastic and downright crap compared to the original. Eric has lent his prodigious talents to great songs and has the 'definitive ' version of many. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them. Go listen to the urgency, angst and truth of JCY's delivery in the original Youngbloods version. LOVE the funky bass line, but other than that...

Oh, hell yeah! Comeback is great! Unfortunately, it has not been released on DVD. You have to be cool with the bootlegger connects. I'm keeping their names a secret, which only my cat knows and he's not telling:)

Why nobody is mentioning the performance from Ian Matthews? In my opinion it is the best version for this particular song.

This song should not have a "peppy beat." I love Eric B but this is not his song to sing. Too "chatty." And he doesn't sound like he felt any kind of sorrow or pain or fear.

Well 65 520 views now... The difference between Burdon and Perry is that Burdon will still be listened to in the next century, while only pictures of Perry might survive.

I'm just beginning to dig deep into Eric's albums & didn't even know about this one. Is this from 1980? Eric is really so prolific and can move from genre to genre with ease. If I could only find the film he did too: "Comeback". Thanks 4 this post!
