Radio Paradise (mobile)

Darkness, Darkness
Be my pillow
Take my hand
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness, Darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see
Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right....
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah

Hannio Nov 04, 2012 - 17:39	Okay, listening to this with headphones on is giving me goosebumps, which automatically makes it rate at least a 9. So 8 > 9. [ Reply ]
cShaggy Oct 04, 2012 - 09:30	..i woulda thought this was released in the mid-90s (except for the 60s gee-tahr stuff).. [ Reply ]
michaelgmitchell Sep 02, 2012 - 20:21	Well, we're going backward in time, aren't we? Track's still pretty "fresh", actually. [ Reply ]

Banana is most famous as the guitarist of The Youngbloods, an eclectic folk-rock band of the late sixties to early seventies. He also had his own band, Banana and the Bunch, both before and after the Youngbloods. He was in charge of the record company, Racoon, which produced the Youngbloods' later albums and albums by Michael Hurley, High Country, and Kenny Gill. The Banana and the Bunch album, Mid-Mountain-Ranch (Racoon #13, 1972), is an overlooked classic that is worth hunting for, and features Banana on guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, piano, and vocals. A close cousin to that album is Joe Bauer's all-instrumental Moonset (Racoon #3). Today Banana plays with several different bands— The Michael Barclay Blues Band, The Barry Melton Band, and Joe New and the Walking Wonders. He also sells vintage musical instruments at vintageinstruments.com < Bump> [ Reply ]

Too bad its so hard to find, like the single "Ridgetop" I hunted for a LONG time to find some early JCY - I have it on CD, but I just got a new computer, so I have to regain all my programs. Once I do, I'll try to upload "Ridgetop" and maybe one or two of JCY's other things... No promises here, but it would really be nice to hear some of Jesse's solo work... [ Reply ]
ShortSharpShock Jun 25, 2011 - 21:24	I wouldn't have remembered this song from oh so long ago if it weren't a frequent choice here on RP. This song is timeless - sounds like it could have come out yesterday. So glad I am reminded of it so I can add it to my collection. Thanks, Bill and Rebecca. [ Reply ]
