This song PERFECTLY fits the story of the Titanic. I think that the use of this song in Ghosts of the Abyss was one of the best uses of a song I've ever heard in any film or documentary I've ever seen. R.I.P. Titanic.
I was 10 years old when Ghosts of the Abyss was first released. It’s the best documentary on the tragedy of the RMS Titanic to date in my humble opinion. It was also honestly the first film I saw where I watched the end credits until the screen went black at the very end. Hearing this song while watching footage of the wreck, topped with that dramatization of Captain Smith’s ghost walking along the rusting remains of the starboard lifeboat deck, it’s a cinematic experience that has been engraved in my memory ever since.
I remember this so well.... it first gives me chills but now it gives me some comfort for it makes me know that I'm not alone. But I now at times hear this as the voice of the RMS Titanic singing in the dark of the Atlantic.
Kanefan701. And as for her little sister in belfast who is currently serving as a museum ship and a storyteller to the current human and ship generation alike. Now that the 109th anniversary of her beloved big sister’s sinking about to come to pass..Nomadic is preparing to do her prayers to her sister as every other one since that day Apri 14...followed by ships joining in prayers and chants with SS Nomadic. SS Nomadic will pay tribute to the gift of music titanic gave this world..by instructing all irish ships in the harbor to sing nearer my god to thee in honor of her dear beloved sister titanic..and as usual as very two fifteen in morning nomadic would look up to the stars and pray as the irish shipd around her sang the song she instructed them to sing.
I still can't get over the fact that when James Cameron lead the expedition to look at the wreck of the Titanic with Bill Paxton who through the whole thing thought about what it was like for those who were onboard that when they started doing this was just a couple of weeks before 9/11 which surprised me lot I mean I didn't know about that until I saw this and this was also the first time I heard this song 'Darkness Darkness' great work Jim Cameron you really are a great explorer as well as a film director.
Recap on Lyrics: Darkness darkness be my pillow Take my hand let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your deep Darkness darkness hide my yearning For the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Toward the things that cannot see Darkness darkness long and lonesome With the day that brings my happiness I have found the edge of silence Oh I am in depths of fear Darkness darkness be my blanket Cover me with the endless night Take away (Take away) the pain of your way Fill the emptiness with light Darkness darkness hide my yearning For the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Toward the things that cannot see
This song really calls to me. Its taught me to take comfort in my "darkness" my sorrow my bitterness my envies. Ive learned to make the most of my "darkness". If you cant fight it, Join it.
Such sadness. A truly evocative song, no question. I was watching excerpts of Anne Boleyn going through the last moments of her life before her execution, and remembered this song. How macabre it may sound, but imagine if this is something akin to what her spirit might be thinking should she be haunting the world after her death.
It must be so depressingly lonely for poor SS Nomadic now that she has entered her 109th year without Titanic. If ships and vehicles like the SS Nomadic they would tell numerous stories. But the Nomadic’s story is marred with tragedy, darkness, loneliness and eventually hope for her future.
I have heard it before by the youngbloods. and their version is good but a change to sound was necessary for the movie. LT made it haunting because your watching about the most famous shipwreck dealing with death. while the Youngbloods made it for the sixties jumpy and fun and was about drugs i do believe. So appreciate both versions for what they are supposed to be dealing with.
100 years in 1912 The Titanic sank but it will REST in the Darkness of the Abyss for years to come may all the souls be well taken care of by GOD and may all the ones remember of The Ship of Dreams ( The Titanic )
Darkness darkness, be my pillow Take my head and let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your dream Darness darkness, hide my yearning For the things that cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Towards the things I cannot see now Towards the things I cannot see now The things I cannot see now
Decent enough cover. Well executed. That being said I HATE IT when lyrical liberties are taken. Though I'm sure JCY isn't going to send back the checks, I'm just as sure he doesn't like it either. Either way this version doesn't hold a candle to the original. Sorry. It's the truth. It's here on youtube under 'Darkness Darkness Youngbloods'. Give it a listen. JCY OWNS the song. Ms. Torban for all her gifting merely borrows it.
slateblk1 You are so right. Lisa Torban does only borrow this song. The energy has been sucked from the original and thrown away. This is "nice" and i don't say that as a compliment.
Peter Wooster lol, you have to think of how it being applied. The reason it is the way it is, it is not as good as the original though for the reason it featured in the documentary is that is applied to the titanic herself. In a way it could be making peace with death.
Adam Harrington there is no doubt that the spirits of those who lost their lives that horrible night are still here with us. watching us. following us. many of them died suddenly and tragically and their spirits can not pass on because they can not understand what happened to them they cant understand how it happened. and they can not understand why did it happen to them ( them dying ) until that time where they can find the answers and pass on to the light their spirits continue to roam this earth unable to pass on. and their spiritual energy is tied to Titanic artifacts. they are what is known as trigger objects. they trigger the spirits of the victims of the Titanic because they feel connected to it one way or another.

Ships are just as special as us with emotions. As awesome as the wreak really really looks. if only she made it
PERFECTLY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!!
This song is so very beautiful and amazing and awesome ❤❤❤😊
This is possibly the most amazing song in the world, i've heard the origianl and other versions but Lisa smokes em' she voice is haunting...
Feels weird hearing this now knowing that another 5 souls have joined the souls lost in 1912
I've listened to many versions of this song. This version brings me to tears! Very haunting.
It is very haunting when they show the wreck of Titanic at the end of the movie :)
"The sinking of Titanic symbolizes what can happen when warnings are not heeded."
The best quote ever.
And true * texting this as I drive * such dumb dumbs * hits a brick wall that magically comes up * me : 😳. Holy *"#*$!!!!! 😱

My favourite part was when they found a stained glass window, intact. Gets me every time.

I sat in the dark theater sobbing while this version played.
I still have the DVD which I used to watch all the time
very haunting..beautiful. I also first heard this whilst watching Ghosts of the Abyss..
Absolutely. Hauntingly. Beautiful.

best optimistic description of depression yet, love the flute
The flute gets me every time. It raises the Irish spirit in me.
This song was written by Jesse Colin Young, and originally performed by the Youngbloods in about 1967. I saw them do it at Fillmore West back then...
I still can't get over the fact that when James Cameron lead the expedition to look at the wreck of the Titanic with Bill Paxton who through the whole thing thought about what it was like for those who were onboard that when they started doing this was just a couple of weeks before 9/11 which surprised me lot I mean I didn't know about that until I saw this and this was also the first time I heard this song 'Darkness Darkness' great work Jim Cameron you really are a great explorer as well as a film director.

Also this movie is great.
Recap on Lyrics:
Darkness darkness be my pillow
Take my hand let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness darkness hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things that cannot see
Darkness darkness long and lonesome
With the day that brings my happiness
I have found the edge of silence
Oh I am in depths of fear
Darkness darkness be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away (Take away) the pain of your way
Fill the emptiness with light
Darkness darkness hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things that cannot see
Beautiful song.. very haunting when watching the video about Titanic.
Hauntingly Beautiful..................................

Vim através do documentário na netflix falando sobre o titanic e seus escombros, " Fantasmas do Abismo ", que música linda 😢
this song gave me chills when I was little, I still love it

the TITANIC is inside in my heart for 10 years

1912 remember. Always ❤

Listening to this, I am thinking about those in the submarine looking for the Titanic who only have a few hours of oxygen left.
My God this is pretty... so distant and somber.
the movie ghosts of the abyss was so incredible. i have it on DVD
Beautiful rendition.
Beautiful song🙏🏻
Eerie and profoundly sad.😢
Great version, great lyrics. Thanks
Maravilha 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨🍹
such a calming song
i saw ghost of the abyss in 5th grade with my class!!!
i see the documentary of the titanic ghost it's a mazing and finally this mazing song :( love it so much ... thanks god i found it here :p
I like the Youngbloods but this good
This song makes me cry especialy when i am watching the moivie
insanely beautiful and apt! :)
I love this song so much.
@VREDFOX When I saw the film, I was attached to the song also.
I loved Jesse Colin Young’s version - but, this is INCREDIBLY moving and is (IMHO) more appropriate for the lyrics....
Yeah, but it added so much damn sadness to that documentary 'Ghosts of the Abyss'. RIP Titanic
Agreed. Also yo mama of the abyss 😎
@@mistylover2082 huh??

For some reason the flute reminds me of the one from Finding Nemo which ironically also came out the same year
Its 2023, still got my left arm. This is mission impossible. Damn
Darkness darkness be my pillow
Take my hand let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
This is Youngbloods song from the 60's, sung by Jesse Colin Young. Its beautiful.
Darkness darkness, be my pillow
Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your dream
Darness darkness, hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Towards the things I cannot see now
Towards the things I cannot see now
The things I cannot see now
It made me relax and i joined the dark and i felt strong o - o

Can I purchase this song on You Tube?
History de titanic.
this is a lovely,calm song,i agree with HiluxCYK99,it matches the resting place of the titanic perfectly,which makes it haunting as well.
Of course this is a cover of Jesse Collin Young's song.
try a search for jessie colin young and/or the youngbloods, the original and even better
Don't buy this when you can use "songr" and get it free. Type in lisa torban in search box.
I would cut my left arm off to get this in flac.

You are so right. Lisa Torban does only borrow this song. The energy has been sucked from the original and thrown away. This is "nice" and i don't say that as a compliment.
Peter Wooster lol, you have to think of how it being applied. The reason it is the way it is, it is not as good as the original though for the reason it featured in the documentary is that is applied to the titanic herself. In a way it could be making peace with death.
It's creepy if I play it in my house when it's only dim, I have coal, wood and rust fragments from the ship. There here sometimes I think.
Adam Harrington there is no doubt that the spirits of those who lost their lives that horrible night are still here with us. watching us. following us. many of them died suddenly and tragically and their spirits can not pass on because they can not understand what happened to them they cant understand how it happened. and they can not understand why did it happen to them ( them dying ) until that time where they can find the answers and pass on to the light their spirits continue to roam this earth unable to pass on. and their spiritual energy is tied to Titanic artifacts. they are what is known as trigger objects. they trigger the spirits of the victims of the Titanic because they feel connected to it one way or another.
