get together is an anthem , but darkness , darkness takes you somewhere completly different  , things that we cannot see , very trippy

@passionateaboutmusic no way songs of today blow and this definitely doesnt blow

[BenjaminFranklin99]

From darkness I was born, trembling like a leaf. I have lived in joy and sorrow, in sin and virtue, in solitude and in friendship. I have done some amazing things, and I have gained and lost much. When I die, I will go where a flame goes, when it is blown out - but I don't know where that is. People who claim to know what comes next, if not extinction, lie to sooth their fears.

@quazzie11 remember this is the original,..

[jupiterran]

@jlambert321 Exactly, the vocals end up almost Janis Joplin-esque in their delivery.

[jlambert321]

@jupiterran yeah, the way the vocal start's out almost languid and builds steady towards anxiety and desperation,

This original vinyl version has it all over the other postings of it on youtube, especially towards the end where you can really hear the singing better. Thanks for posting it the way it was meant to be heard.

@KyplayaZ4lyfe Good (sick truth) music is always being born every minute. Just need to look underground. Start by checking out my own music compositions, free on the internet SoundCloud. My internet name is FLYING CLOUD NINE. Google this: "Back in Time, by FLYING CLOUD NINE". Yeah. I've been so passionate about music, that throughout my life, I've been making my own. It's a lot more difficult than just listening.

Had no idea there were so many versions of this song. I had only heard Plant's version until a few minutes ago and now I've heard 3 different interpretations. This one is cool. I dig Plant's the best but this one is cool as can be.

[nohobob]

this song is exactly what the title sats darkness, and sadly so true, but in the darkness there is light and truth. i know that may sound funky, but as a young pup i listened to this all the time with green leaves, it's just as good without.

[frederickus]

This IS the original, I believe.

@MrFlashfly Still we have our young fighting for lies, bankrupting this country for the same two faced liars that people are protesting against right now. It has always been corporate interests that have been in the backround fomenting wars to profit while telling us it is to protect us from enemies. Just google CIA and any country that has had or still has a ruthless Dictator and you will find the CIA has been involved with putting or keeping most of them in power.Corporate Interest Agency.
