Guest Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Being a child of the 80s, I remember singing along to Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good: Hadn't given it much thought until I came across the video again and gave it a listen. Blimey those lyrics are dark: It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should The cold is biting Through each and every nerve and fibre My broken spirit is frozen to the core I don't want to be here no more Any other songs from way back when that you thought were merry tunes but subsequently revealed themselves to be yawning chasms of gloom?

zach Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm not sure it's dark in the content of the wording, but the Sweet Dreams cover by Marilyn Manson is certainly turned 'Dark' IMO. My daughter walks out if I play it. I think it's odd, but good. Saying that, he's bloody odd! In a totally different music style. A lot of the Carpenters songs were about darker things. She was a very talented but troubled lady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxLady Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 "Bad company", Five Finger Death Punch. Great voice, by whichever vocalist it was at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Delilah by Tom Jones, singing about his cheating partner. The song has been banned from Welsh rugby matches. My, my, my, Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah So before they come to break down the door Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore She stood there laughing I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more.

When I was young I only really listened to the tune not the words. Yes, exactly. I remember that one too from when I was quite small. Walking with the guard and the sad old padre at daybreak. Oh. 9 hours ago, HeHasRisen said: Save All Your Kisses For Me There's nothing about that song that's not disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
