i see a darkness

will oldham'ın 1999 tarihli albümü. albüme ismini veren şarkının bugüne kadarki en iyi çalışması olduğunu düşünüyorum iki farklı aranjmanı bulunmaktadır. johnny cash tarafından coverlanmıştır. sözleri aşağıdaki gibidir.


well you're my friend
(it's what you told me)
and can you see
(what's inside of me?)

many times
we've been out drinking
and many times
we've shared our thoughts

but did you ever, ever notice
the kind of thoughts i got?

you know i have a love
a love for everyone i know
and you seen i have this drive
to live i won't let go

but could you see it's opposition
comes arising up sometimes
that it's dreadful end position
comes blacking in my mind

and that i see a darkness
and that i see a darkness
and that i see a darkness
and that i see a darkness
and did you know how much i love you (and that i see a darkness)
is a hope that somehow you (and that i see a darkness)
can save me from this darkness?

well i hope that someday, buddy
we got peace in our lives
together or apart
alone or with our wives
that we can stop our whoring
and pull the smiles inside
and light it up forever
and never go to sleep
my best unbeaten brother
this isn't all i see

oh no, i see a darkness
oh no, i see a darkness
oh no, i see a darkness
oh no, i see a darkness
and did you know how much i love you (and that i see a darkness)
is a hope that somehow you, you (and that i see a darkness)
can save me from this darkness?



uzun zamandır bilmeme rağmen sözleri üzerinde çok durmamıştım. geçen haftalarda iş dönüşü dolmuşta pineklerken birden sözleri dikkatimi çekti başa sardım bir daha dinledim. yol boyunca tekrar tekrar dinledim ve uzun zamandan beri ilk defa bir şarkıyla ağladım.
