Holly Cow...........! I was only 16 when I first heard this song; It's so beautiful to go back all these years and all these memories come back.. Great Song
I was in an online/LDR with my soulmate for almost 8 months. I live in Florida, he in England. He broke it off shortly after the U.S. Embassy denied him visiting rights :-( . this song is perfect.
you have to wonder about the inspiration of the lyric. . . Tony has said it was innocent enough, but sounds like a lament of love, or friendship, or partnership lost. . . it was a time of great change for them. . . another great hicks/lynch collaboration at any rate! thnx for another beautiful vid - kc
Dont you idiots understand!! Your talkin about non-existant band members. Trace the music evolution dolts. See who was in the Hollies, who was in other bands before and after. Nash.
This is a timeless classic, iconic of the early 1970's rock and roll. The harmonica, the organ, the simple lyrics, yet a beautiful harmony, basic emotions expressed very fluently. Probably the best of the Hollies extensive works. Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress just doesn't have the authenticity that this song does. Definitely underrated and under played.
The Hollies had so many great songs. Many hits charted higher than Long Dark Road, but in my opinion it's their finest hour. LDR is their masterpiece!
----really love this song by the Hollies (& have for decades !!! ) Love when they finally sing "It's A Long Dark Road, " after the intro...Really great!!
I never got over the breakup with Ginny when this song came out and how this song haunted and hounded me then and now. I have a twisted love for this song.
A great song /record ! The lyrics may not indicate it ; it really is an uplifting , optimistic piece-classic rock/oldies radio never seems to play it ; rather the simple minded stuff. Great slideshow too !
back in the day, i had a black labrador retriever that would point his head up and howl every time the chorus part came in the song whether we were in the car or at the house. He just needed to sing with the song...... classic
Can anyone remix this great classic rocker with a heavy bass/ drum line to send it to the stratisphere, thanks, lets get this bad ass rockin jam done , thanks to all.
I love the Hollies and this is one of their best songs in my opinion. Unfortunately it doesn't get played as much as some their other stuff anymore. Thanks for posting!
Me acuerdo en especial de esta en mis años 70´s cuando me quería comer el mundo entero tenia 15 años, hoy no mas me río a mis 55 años y el camino sigue siendo largo mas no oscuro. saludos.
I listened to the album this was on and particularily this song over and over when I first read the Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1972 while at college. Came to love this song.
What a great group these guys were...I forgot about this song for so long...It's so great to hear again....Thanks so much for posting it!!!...The harmonies still get me..I love it!!
Just awesome video LOVE the pictures you used and the song Long Dark Road the Hollies ROCK and always will . Where did you find the pictures ??? Love the ones with Alan !!
Ok now i'm confused, Allan, didnt sing on this recording? This is Michael Rickfors singing right?... Their l973 performance, because it was...live..had more of a ROCK sound to me.......(their live performances are always better)...but LOVE this recording!..also i've read Terry wrote the song, and just today read Tony and a guy named lynch wrote it.
@luvsmuzik1 Tja... vad är sant/falsk. Har aldrig hört denna sång förr. Trots det valde jag mig fram till min ursprungliga poäng. Det vill säga vad han sjunger om. Jag kan inte trolla eller fuska. Kör alltid med öppna kort om nån förstår. Jag är en bluffmakare som medlar mellan två system: poker och 21. Detta är skrivet på REN svenska och skall INTE tolkas symboliskt! p.s. jag föddes 1971 på ett visst klockslag. Astronomi/astrologi? Kanske går de att kombinera? Fråga djävulen så ber han dig dra=C
This is the ULTIMATE!..feel good song for me!! i cant explain why...but truely have to listen to this song everyday! This is the first time i've heard this version...still get same feeling!..love it...thank you for posting!!

This is the song that made me a Hollies fan. Tony Hicks is my favorite talent.. The lead singer is good but not the main man.

Tony Hicks is the one I admire the most. I have loved him since 1973 when I was 10.
