It *does* sound christmassy! May I also recommend the Manics' "Ghost of Christmas", which they gave out to fans a few years ago? Hope you all have a good one! x
@@JustAnotherGamer1985 you know that. As much as many would like to keep them for ourselves, i want them to return to whichever heights they wish to ascend to, even if it makes them less accessible. Yes, its sweet to have em for our own, but whats best for them is what is best.
Epic pick slides, chunka, chunka, searing vocals and guitar, familiar melody with a twist, fast drumming, and featuring a saxaphone. What's not to love!!!
Ed was great and he had a signature style I loved. But I honestly hope Ru never leaves this lineup. He’s so integral to their sound now and such a badass. Same with Frankie. They’ve never sounded better.
This song is exactly what I needed today, thank you! The Darkness is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you! What do each of you boys want from Santa this year I wonder?
Really like the video with the flipped and reversed filming. Personal highlights in the track are the Wizard and Quo-isms whilst being distinctively The Darkness! It's not heavy enough to be one of my favourites but its a bouncy toetapper!!
@@EduFirenze I hear that too. It might have come with the change of guitars? I find that I play completely different depending on which type I pick up. There's no Black Shuck yet but TD are nothing if not Unpredictable. The 1st 2 singles from Massive Wagons newest LP threw me off too but the album on the whole is an absolute peach so, I'll give it time.
That’s what it’s always been about,,,,possibly feeling a little down about something. But can sing or shake that feeling off with a good track like this. Makes life seem less serious than some take it. Let it go,,,let ya hair down and rock on🤙🏼
Wow! What a ride - *awesome* - LOVED every aspect of this from the opening beat, to the sax (unexpected - yet fits really well) - & of course the gorgeous voice of Justin pulling it all together, it's like plaid & stripes in a glam setting, should not work (if describing to someone, sounds like should not work together) having *listened* to it, it's a 'fashion feature in Vogue' not only works, is *fabulous* FAB-U-LOUS!!
Ah...the Sweet Darkness...anyone else getting a Blockbuster vibe from this song?. Modern version of the Sweet on this track. Damn fine track!. Looking forward to hearing more...
2nd, nope 3rd listen - just cause loved this so much - instantly - all of it All except 'hating' anyone, esp self (yes, just lyrics - still .... ) - need (in general) forgive ourselves... (tapping on phone nearly 1:30am, woke up, bathroom break then back to exhausted sleep - now wide awake LOVING this...) (tapping away, tiny text - sure typos galore, but Right Here, Right Now (yes - 2nd song, nope 3rd - with encode of Sttarry starry night - ) (dammit foolish hope, lingering on...) 1st time just listened, 2nd time watched, lol (personal connection & meaning - words - both lyrics & visual of words backwards - only been 4 years, not 7, bugger - almost 5, still, Hope Lingers On...)
The Darkness.... RIDES AGAIN!!!!
...again.
Let it be so. Now and forever
Justin "Let me show you how to do it, again" Hawkins
😂 yeah ..cuz this is anything like how they got famous ...this is weak.
@savethisforlater did he buy these comments cuz that's hilarious.
Gold!
The Christmas song we all needed but never knew!
It *does* sound christmassy! May I also recommend the Manics' "Ghost of Christmas", which they gave out to fans a few years ago? Hope you all have a good one! x
the drumming in this is spectacular
I need these guys to get the recognition they deserve. What a band
They get their recognition from the right people.
We know who they are. 😁
@@JustAnotherGamer1985 Justin would rather play arena than clubs/theatres. US promo could be better.
They already have it. Where have you been?
@@kilgoretrout3966 they're literally a world class band who have played in the US many times.
Have you only just woke up?

Banger 🔥 The world needs the infectious joy of The Darkness right now.
"Love lifts us up where we belong"
Fun tune. 🎉
ThankYou! That was doin my head in!
Awesome sauce
Mystery solved. Thanks!
Lots of Quo vibes.
Great stuff x
What a song. Can't wait for the album!
Still shitting out Solid Gold going into 2025! Merry Christmas boys 🎅😎
the rhythm sounds like sheer heart attack of Queen like it!
13/10. will listen to 500 times.
Gonna say it again Rufus is the greatest thing to ever happen to this brilliant band ❤

My Christmas wish has come true - new Darkness on the horizon.
God bless us, everyone.
Deadly drums & Guitar !🥁🎸🥁🎸🥳🥳
This is an absolute banger!!!!! I love it, pure genius x
Yes they are back babyyyyyy!
I’ve listened to you guys since I was a toddler rocking out with my dad 🫡🤘
When the producer cuts your video budget in half, but you still make it work.
😂😂😂😂 so true
Producers around the world: That’s…. Not…. A …… bad……. Idea…….
They couldnt’ve hired some kid to put a few extra words and clips in the end?
which producer was that?
when you have no idea what you are talking about but every freedom to do so
Even Justin gives a nod to the quo in his outro solo…lovely stuff
Really like the video with the flipped and reversed filming. Personal highlights in the track are the Wizard and Quo-isms whilst being distinctively The Darkness! It's not heavy enough to be one of my favourites but its a bouncy toetapper!!
Hopefully there's loads more heavy in the album 🙏🏼😁
That confused me for a sec, I was like ‘everyone in the band all of a sudden is left handed’ 😂
O for 2 so far for me, getting a bit too close to the source material, they were always good at nodding to the past without being derivative.

I watched them perform this live this evening about 10ft from the stage.. and it's very heavy in person
That’s a hit
Happy Birthday early to Mr. Dan Hawkins...May you live long ,happy and in great health
Balance is being restored.
I never felt so comfortable saying "i hate myself" than when I'm singing along to this.
I mean, it’s developed its own comfort after this many decades
That’s what it’s always been about,,,,possibly feeling a little down about something. But can sing or shake that feeling off with a good track like this.
Makes life seem less serious than some take it.
Let it go,,,let ya hair down and rock on🤙🏼
@@PapaBPoppinExactly. Great Band.
That's the power of music
One listen in - this is a proper Darkness banger!
Rekindling that old Christmas spirit!
Most Superb band of this Century!
100% Darkness. Great!

Groovy tune man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
looove everything with this awsom band
If this track went to Wales it would go to Bangor.
If it ate a meal it would be bangers and mash.
🤘
I'm always gonna love a 4 on the floor like that... love it!
The amount of happiness that this brings me should be on TikTok with a million likes...
"I DO" in reverse is "ODI" which in italian means "You hate".🤣🤣🤣
Nice punk song😍😍😍
Damn straight! Made my 10am break so much better. Can't wait for this album!
I love this awesome Status Quo on steroids vibe 🔥❤️🎸🎸🎸
Cool tune!
Literally a lick from Rocking all Over The World in the solo. Nice touch.
Yes! Status Quo + Die Ärzte (german punk rock) 🙂
Holy shit, if this and longest piss are reflective of the new album, I’m bloody excited

Can't wait to see you lads in Sydney again!!
These youngsters can ROCK! I think they may have a future in the biz!
…whos gonna tell him
They can't sing, they can't play...(breaks Kit-Kat)...they'll go a long way!
They didn't have much of a future
The anticipation for the new album is killing me
Amazing as always :)
Now this is more like it. I couldn’t get on with the last record but this is back to business
what an excellent tune. just what I needed before going to bed!
was just listening to you guys earlier, and now this. it's a good day
It has a little bit of Queen, A little bit of T-Rex and a Little bit of Bowie...
I'm *LOVIN'* it!!!
and a bit of Quo, mixed with Mica...
I'm getting Wildhearts.
Wizzard !
and a bit Method Man and Charles Mingus and Damian Marley
Absolutely Fantastic
WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!
What a stroke!!! Thanks guys and great Drum section... thanks Master @rufus taylor❤🥁
Love it! 🤘🏻
Quality, as always.
Great is not enough of a descritpion for this! What a melodic taste and energy!
Nice hard-edged power pop. Just wonderful! This and the brilliant "The Longest Kiss" are where I always hoped The Darkness would go with their music.
Deffo getting peak Quo vibes from this one.
Another banger! This album will be great!
