    In my opinion one of THE most underrated rock bands ever. Saw them live in Sacramento in September with my daughter. We are Darkness fans for life. So damn great live. 🤟

      Saw them few days ago on festival. I knew them berfore, except for few songs I never really liked them, but performing live, that was really different. They may not be the biggiest band arround that show, they had no obvious hits, headbangers etc., but still it was such a pleasure to watch and listen them performing, playing their instruments with such ease and skill. It was certainly not the biggest show, but musically, it was really completely different level among the bands like the offspring, Yungblud, Sum41, Bring me the horizon, parkway drive, royal republic or palaye royale also performing there. Respect.

      I was just over listening to Everlong by the Foo Fighters when I ran across your post about never really being loved the way others have. The very next song I click on, and I see you again. I really hope life is looking up for you and that you find the love you deserve. Your words really resonated with me because I kinda feel the same as you. I dedicate one of my all time favorite songs for the last 30 years to you. I have listened to this song so many times over the years because I just find it comforting. And it just plain rocks.

Get your friends to do the same thing to the same radio stations. Start generating a buzz for the song so that stations listen. Radio stations are not playing it because they have no talent in their executives anymore, plus no one takes the initiative to call. Everyone just whines on social media now.

    This song is amazing. Yes, i do hear the Cult in it. Justin's voice sounds great. He's embraced a more hard rock less falsetto sound that he used to have on The Darkness first two albums.

    Is it just me or are others noticing how much more dynamic Justin has gotten with his singing abilities? This CD kicks ass and they're getting better and better. Please let your next video be for Wheels of the Machine! :)

      i was listening to planet rock radio and from what i remember, one of the presenters said a member of the cult actually helped the darkness when recording which is how they got the sound and it sounds so much like the cult.

    I really wish I gave the Darkness a chance years ago when a thing called love came out. I love this band and Justin is the best. Awesome showman and great singer. And amazing guitar player too. This guy is the whole package. Hail the Darkness!

    This song is one of my favourite songs of all time it's just totally cool and kicks ass at the same time and it does sound similar to The Cult She Sells Sanctuary but who cares even if they sound the same there still the coolest rock tunes on the planet so who cares but great video and nice one to The Darkness for doing it again cheers everyone.

    Cranked this song loud as all hell while sealcoating my driveway with my wife and drinkin' beer. Love it. Always loved the darkness, loved the falsetto vocals, guitar riffs, and fun/seriousness of the vocals. I think I used to talk to their current drummer on myspace years before he became their drummer, but I'm happy he made it, regardless of the music industry reference.

    Man I havent listen to music much in the past 10 years or more. Decided to listen to I believe in a thing called love. And started listening to these newer songs. Why have these guys not exploded in popularity. Music gold, every song. 80s vibe.

    Don’t waste my time daydreams
    I’m living my nightmare
    Every semblance of hope in his life
    Surrenders to dispair
    So I embrace the darkness
    Because it’s always there
    Give me an open fire
    Blazes in your eyes
    Burns right through the night (open fire)
    I could live nocturnally
    I could live without daylight (open fire)
    Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug
    Tell me that we’ll never part (open fire)
    Open fire, on my heart (open fire)
    The world has got a dark side
    Every day it turns
    But the sun only shines occasionally
    And when it does it burns
    I am not enlightened
    Everybody knows
    Give me an open fire
    Blazes in your eyes
    Burns right through the night (open fire)
    I could live nocturnally
    I could live without daylight (open fire)
    Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug
    Tell me that we’ll never part (open fire)
    Open fire, on my heart (open fire)
