If this is your favourite line, it kind of feels like you missed the whole point of the song. It's a great song. I didn't even clock this line until now.
@@charliedent you think I missed the whole point of the song yet I've drawn you to a line you didn't even notice yourself .... Which *is in the chorus!* 😂 🤯🤣
I don't get it either! They are such great musicians and fabulous song writers! Guess the public is force fed loops and backtracks and that's all they consume and then when a band like this comes along they fail to see the greatness of what's right in front of them! I love love love them and tell everyone that! The darkness is rock n roll old school in purest form!
Dr. Loomis, it didn't have as many went I posted and my point is it should have millions of views. 750k is still not even 1 million. Hope this clears things up for you Dr. Loser
@@-marino2782 Lord, what the hell is wrong with people? The good Dr.'s comment is straight douchebag level sarcasm. Thanks for clearing that up for us indeed! I suppose he took some time out from fucking up a wet dream to post that. Yee Haw...
I never really listened to the darkness, but when this was released i heard it on the radio and was blown away by it.. safe to say the Darkness are a regular on my playlists now.
this is what all serious songwriter-musicians aspire to : a carefully, tastefully crafted song, woven with evocative words, where a mood is created you didn't even know you'd been spun into and don't want to come out of. the Darkness: Class Act
Several bands do a shitload of guitar overdubs on their songs in the studio and then they can't reproduce the sound live. I love that The Darkness are not too proud to add an extra guitarist to the live line-up so that they have somebody to do the acoustic parts while the Hawkins brothers are playing electric lead and rhythm. This shows respect for the music and for the audience. I love that they acknowledged the extra guitarist and put him in the video as well. The Darkness are not only the greatest band in the world, but they genuinely seem like decent blokes too. ❤️
Spent my formative rock years loving Def Leppard. They have pretty much always been awesome live but your point is probably more valid with them than anyone. They're arguably the ones that started it all. If they were to play a couple of their songs from the Hysteria album live in the way they're on the record, they'd need ten additional guitarists on stage.
So true. I look at my favourite bands, and a huge part of it is how lovely they are as people. For example, AOR band FM, aside from writing some of the greatest melodic rock tunes ever, always have a drink with the audience after shows, how many bands take the time to do that!
I just can't explain what this band has done for me. For almost 20 years you lift my spirits when I don't know what else will. Thank you so much for coming back. I love you guys forever
Yes, your welcome.. Lyric: I'm standing on a cliff top and I'm looking out to sea The sirens of the Netherlands are beckoning me I'm trying to write a ballad that makes you wanna stay They're easy to come up with but they're difficult to play Cause I know what I'm supposed to do but I don't know if I can Sell the world a story 'bout a woman and a man Who meet at the beginning, together they belong And it feels like they are winning, 'til everything goes wrong Take me to the open road Run until my heart explodes Take me to the open road Or give me back the love I'm owed 'Til my heart explodes 'Til my heart explodes I'm standing in the weather and I can't open the door Then suddenly it hits me this isn't my house anymore I knew you wouldn't listen, so I've given you carte blanche To build a clown asylum on the Neverland ranch I can't believe it's over I can't believe I'm free To sleep with anybody who wants to sleep with me I never wrote that ballad, there isn't such a song I tried to make you happy and then everything went wrong Take me to the open road Run until my heart explodes Take me to the open road Or give me back the love I'm owed 'Til my heart explodes 'Til my heart explodes Free to love again Like the love you never showed Free to love again Love 'til our hearts explode 'Til my heart explodes Heart explodes 'Til my heart explodes
Just discovered these guys in 2022. I found Justin's UA-cam channel and loved his personality. I thought maybe I should check out the band. Where the hell have I been?
I'm gradually working my way through all of these Darkness songs I've missed. Another absolutely beautiful power ballad, Justin can really write them. They really know how to add perfect double leads not to mention pretty fills. Total icing on an already perfect cake! Love this band!
New to The Darkness, and this is the first song I've heard from Easter is Cancelled. The music is beautiful and uplifting. The lyric is so sad. I've had my heart broken. I know what its like to not have a home anymore. Very emotional tune.
I only know The Darkness from "I believe in a thing called love". And I am here because of @thecharismaticvoice But this song is so beautiful. His voice 😮 is so amazing.
This new song came out the day an almost ten year relationship ended for me. This song has helped me so much. To the Darkness thank you, from a heartbroken weirdo yank.
I am in the same boat after my fiance broke it off. "Suddenly it hits me, this isn't my house anymore" is a really powerful lyric, but the following ones are full of so much positivity that it is worth it in a lot of ways.
Don't beat yourself up too much bro. I am 54 and one thing I can say is finding a solid woman that will stick with you is probably the hardest fucking thing you will have to go through as a man. So many bitchs out there by will abandon you for another dollar or some stupid shit. I gave up my Chase. I treat people like they treat me, no more ass kissing. Love yourself dude. If you got a hard time doing that well fake it till you make it.
and wordsmith. carefully selecting every word; always considering the nuance of alliteration and metre. He's an exceptional lyricist/songwriter, as is Dan - guitarist extraordinaire, master of riff.
Saw them sing this live March 2022 Las Vegas HOB wow fn amazing. Be still my heart!! Yes my heart was exploding with excitement as he wore my hat then tossed it back to me like omg Thank you Justin best experience ever!!!!!!!!
The darkness rocks, which can't be said of most bands of their era or later. Love the way he flicks his guitar to the neck pickup at the end to shut it down. I'm guessing the neck pickup is deactivated. What a true rock star move!!!
Dear band, I just went through a brake up when I first heard your song. Sold the house. Just was my story, even if no one slept with me since then. But you guys helped me with those lyrics. Regards from France.
This is an incredible video, it shows the band doing what they do best and it has charm/personality, I hope that Kerrang takes notice of this and starts playing it, this deserves to be seen by everyone
The layered vocals placed at the just right moments and those major to minor chord changes are just fantastic. Can’t stop listening to this. I’ve listened to The Darkness in the past, but I had no idea they were still cranking out amazing music. Some of their newer stuff still feels classic w/ a little dash of Foo Fighters & QOTSA. Loving it 🔥
This band knows how to stay alive and keep rock alive! An inspration with songs that are as funny as they are serious, all the while blowing apart cliché with artistic intelligence.
Absolutely fantastic, fell in love with the band as soon as permission to land came out, then a few years back my grandma told me that she lived next door to Justin and Dan when they were growing up! Couldn't believe it when I was told that!
...Solid Gold is my 9 year old sister's favourite song! 😂 This is one of (if not) the best bands I have ever heard of, and their music is the best I've ever listened to!!!
I must admit,I'd never heard of The Darkness before,but Triple M Sydney played this song and I've been cranking it up EVER since..love it!!...Wishing the band every success with it,it's great!!👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Wow, great song. The Darkness only gets better! Loved this band for 20+ years now. Can still remember when I heard "I believe in a thing called love" for the first time in 2003. Picked up the Permission to Land album that same night. Saw them live that year!
Getting to see them April 29th in Dallas. So excited! I can remember my mom listening to them in the early 2000s! I'm 23 now, been listening to them with my mom since 2003ish and now I get to take her to their concert!
"give me back the love I'm owed" has to be one of the most powerful lines I've ever heard. It's almost criminal the lack of recognition this song has.

Justin Hawkins Rides Again brought me here. Glad someone still using those guitars to rock.
Why does this not have millions of views? The music industry now really sucks. Great band, Great song
because wef want no freedom but anyone but them

Goggle products You need professional help...
Google Products you are a sad little fuck
Didnt they break up and now suddenly I see them back again.
Oh God, yes!!! So glad this music is still being made

the Darkness: Class Act
Beautifully well put!
THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND IN THE WORLD ❤❤❤💥💥💥
❤️🤘
Sadly, I only recently even heard of them. A lot of talent, and way too creative for the mainstream.
Great band, huge leader, and what a voice !!!
Yep
I have to question that.🤔.
The fact you searched this song and scrolled through the comments.... Makes you cooler than you think you are !! ❤❤

Their extra live guitarist is actually their guitar tech. Great guys!

@@growbyskovich8037 And didn't he fill in as the bass player on their sophomore release? I'm glad to see he's still working with the band to this day.
I think this is my favorite The Darkness song. Love the drums on this one, especially--Rufus Taylor is one of the greats.
Brian May: "How happy are we that the Darkness are back together and conquering the world? How happy are we? How fucking happy are we?"
Michiel Baird we are fucking happy!
SO HAPPY 👍
Yeah, I'll concur. I'll share in the happiness
Did Brian May say really say that? If it's true, my world makes sense and the universe is in order, despite Trump the rest of it!
He did was ages ago when he played with them at Hammersmith Apollo in 2011
People
Need to stop saying this is the most underrated band . This band is making in own path too eternity.
This band is making great music.
I just can't explain what this band has done for me. For almost 20 years you lift my spirits when I don't know what else will. Thank you so much for coming back. I love you guys forever
You should try heroin....
For the longest time I thought The Darkness was a silly band not to be taken too seriously; but this song is unironically beautiful!
Another classic most of the world is about to miss out on.
Freaking age like fine wine..I love the Darkness!
Been a fan since 2003. They never miss. Every fucking song is gold.
Yes, your welcome..
Lyric:
I'm standing on a cliff top and I'm looking out to sea
The sirens of the Netherlands are beckoning me
I'm trying to write a ballad that makes you wanna stay
They're easy to come up with but they're difficult to play
Cause I know what I'm supposed to do but I don't know if I can
Sell the world a story 'bout a woman and a man
Who meet at the beginning, together they belong
And it feels like they are winning, 'til everything goes wrong
Take me to the open road
Run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
I'm standing in the weather and I can't open the door
Then suddenly it hits me this isn't my house anymore
I knew you wouldn't listen, so I've given you carte blanche
To build a clown asylum on the Neverland ranch
I can't believe it's over I can't believe I'm free
To sleep with anybody who wants to sleep with me
I never wrote that ballad, there isn't such a song
I tried to make you happy and then everything went wrong
Take me to the open road
Run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
Free to love again
Like the love you never showed
Free to love again
Love 'til our hearts explode
'Til my heart explodes
Heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
God I love this song
I haven't heard a Darkness song I don't like. This one so pretty. I love it. So powerful.
The best non 80s, 80s band.
Just discovered these guys in 2022. I found Justin's UA-cam channel and loved his personality. I thought maybe I should check out the band. Where the hell have I been?

One of There Best song. Do you feel something. Thank you Darkness
It's great to see The Darkness still rockin' and outlasting a lot of bands from the early 2000's. They're better than ever!
One of the greatest unknown bands of our time right here ..Justin and Dan on guitar together are mind blowing
This new song came out the day an almost ten year relationship ended for me. This song has helped me so much. To the Darkness thank you, from a heartbroken weirdo yank.

This lovely has been repeating in my head and heart, over and over, for the last two weeks. It seems my heart's still exploding
This is one of the greatest rock songs ever written. Thank you Justy & the lads!
this band is superb ... it has unrivaled 70-80 sounds. thank you for returning, Italy loves you
Gotta love a band that can do a ballad that still properly rocks....More amazing lyrics from Justin
Easter is Cancelled is the ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
Song of the year. Not just this year, all of them.

great band, and with a great strong singer
Go ahead the Darkness, you are incredible music band! Just believe in your magic!🎉🎉🎉🎉
No autotune, no lipsynch just pure rock n roll and one of the best "live" bands out there.
You are absolutely correct!!
This isn't live and I guarantee they are tuning their vocals a little bit, but the mixing engineer has done a great job making it sound natural
This isn’t live, it’s the recorded version over the top.
@@MetalMayhem1978 im talking about the band itself, not the video.
I'd luv 2 c em live
The crowd may just be standing there but i think, inside ,u just blew their minds...
Mush.
Love this band.
The Darkness are the best rock band going right now - can't wait to see them again on tour in 2020.
Doesn’t seem like that will be happening now
@INGLESINA ROCK Love your style lovely!
The darkness had me when they inserted Bell ends into a song. Absolute legends. Awesome music
The KINGS, (& QUEENS) of ironic rock! \m/
Getting to see them April 29th in Dallas. So excited! I can remember my mom listening to them in the early 2000s! I'm 23 now, been listening to them with my mom since 2003ish and now I get to take her to their concert!
Forever grateful that I got to hear this beautiful, powerful, emotional song. Thank you The Darkness ❤️
OMG! Absolutely love this! ❤
