Lyrics
Dear Darkness, my dear sweet darkness
The times we had
So many scars across this heart
One cannot forget
Dear Darkness, no really they’ve got pictures of all kinds
Up in the clouds, some printed out
All burned into my mind
Dear Darkness, You’re always here
And like a soft old shirt
I get wrapped up in your arms, hey it’s at least familiar
But Dear Darkness, as these days go by, bad news is all I see
I start to wonder if it’s this old shirt
That’s wearing me
Oh oh Dear Darkness, I guess the point is
I’ll be moving on
I suppose I’ll see you but let’s hope it’s not too soon
Dear Darkness, you can’t be the only lonely post I lean on
Dear Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, find yourself another friend
Dear Darkness, now these disguises offend us both
It’s just beneath you, oh I release you
To carry on your work
Dear Darkness, there’s just not much else that I have left to say
I’ll see you when I see you, from afar if that’s okay
Oh oh Dear Darkness, I guess the point is
I’ll be moving on
I suppose I’ll see you but let’s hope it’s not too soon
Dear Darkness, you can’t be the only lonely post I lean on
Oh Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, find yourself another
Dear Darkness, I guess the point is
I’ll be moving on
I suppose I’ll see you but let’s hope it’s not too soon
Dear Darkness, you can’t be the only lonely post I lean on
Oh Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, find yourself another friend

Whenever I hear something new by Dan I find myself picking up a guitar and trying to write a song

[@bryanross6264]

Same! The inspiration runs deep.

[@dude8001]

Dan has simply kept innovating himself. Absolutely love what he's done so far.

[@royjameson2097]

Yes totally unlike Skiba, I hear the same Alkaline riffs in almost ever song Skiba does, Dan's voice and style are good with this poppy indie rock kinda sound, I think it's good shit🧷🖤

[@xmarkhimselfx]

Dan is a wicked musician I enjoy listening to every band he's been involved with.

[@badnewsbruner]

Huge Trio fan, and Dan's solo stuff has always blown me away. My good friend who introduced me to Alkaline Trio died last year from an overdose, and I can't listen to Matt or Dan sing without getting choked up. This song is perfect and I hope it helps someone out there see the light. Dan, you guys are the best ever 🖤

[@rorydean6803]

Long live the Trio, and the same goes for your late homie 🙏

[@MichelleWarrior-nd4ro]

Dudeeess we’re going to see Dan. Alkaline Trio. Stubbs. This month wooooooh🤘🏼💀🖤

[@Sims4life420]

The most underrated song writer period! ❤

[@SOBERABSORBER]

Love Dan's voice since forever

[@christianperez7846]

I remember when I was really fucked up and had to carry on, either in my bed or out in the world. I kept repeating to myself “Dear Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again. Dear Darkness, find yourself another friend!” Somehow it helped me through. Sometimes I don’t think it’s a bad idea to go back to that mantra

[@jooptablet1727]

i hope you're doing well

[@willshogren1987]

Has anyone ever seen Dan and Stanley Tucci in the same room?

[@niagriffith2462]

I was literally down here to say this very thing...

[@willshogren2232]

lol

[@mikefranz4470]

I can’t wait for this album to drop. So far it sounds AWSOME!

[@neverportage]

That intro guitar tone...love it.

[@toaster4490]

I’ve been on a bit of a deathcore kick recently and happened to click this based off of the title alone but I’m damn glad I did, I love this

[@reginagallico6669]

Dan keeps making awesome music 💜

[@GavinAFC89]

This is a great song! Looking forward to the full album!

[@likehellweareanxiouslywaiting]

Oh, dear darkness. I feel this. Love Danny!

[@xxlanggarlarixx8798]

No one cares about Matt Skiba anymore , now DAN ANDRIANO timesss !!! Great job Dan !!

[@jemwhitehead2952]

Cannot stop listening to this - such a good song with an incredible message/story

[@PunkRockZombie205]

This video should have 100x the views it does. I wish the younger generation was more into good music these days

[@michaelcostello9927]

Absolutely phenomenonal, can't wait to hear the full record ❤

[@judasgraves5040]

Dan you are a beast!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@cocodee6906]

Such a great song 😍

[@MrMotherfuck123]

Dude, I live his stuff man.

[@kerrym2088]

I thought Sea Level was my favourite of his new songs, but I’ve listened to this one like ten times today lol. Anytime Dan writes about mental health and addiction he really captures it perfectly.

[@Colombiano0]

Dan is a class act

[@mr.fabfest1239]

"""Let's pray for those children who doesn't have their parents they are real legend' s"""""❤️💖💗🧡

[@trebomit]

The best Dan has ever sounded in my opinion! You're getting better with age my friend 😇👏

[@slendernugget125]

His voice has most definitely improved my favorite vocals from him is in Every Thug Needs a Lady Acoustic

[@matthewgardea9939]

Awesome music! I meet him and Matt. Coolest people ever.

[@rubber88hc]

Simply wonderful Simply Dan!

[@shoesupsleevesdown]

february feels like a really long wait. it should be worth it though

[@israelcastillo2983]

Love me some Dan!

[@americansoldier2530]

I swear to Christ this video and song almost perfectly illustrate my life. Only thing that's different is my darkness simply won't go away. No matter how hard I try, I just can't shake that sinister prick.

[@ryansanders864]

very catchy.... love the beat of the song, and the vocals are very well executed with the beat!

[@peteroffmx]

Suena increible!. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🖤💜🙏

[@PlasticChaser]

If there’s ever a point where Dan decides to not write songs anymore I hope that my life is in a good place. Because everything he’s written has helped me when it wasn’t. His entire catalog from AK3 to now means more to me than I can describe.

[@badnewsbruner]

You and me both, brother.

[@Philly__dude]

You nailed it Dan's songs helped me through love and through a divorce and presently

[@Anthonyr423_]

Don't know about you, but 1:57 Sums up exactly how I feel when I listen to one of Dan's songs

[@OneNiceKittyRightThere]

God damn dude..... This is the first time I've listened to this song and after going through some very dark and hard times that chorus made me bawl like a fucking baby.

[@Hectorhc13]

I love this song.

[@andrewverburg1805]

Gotta luv Danny

[@GreenMonstah77]

Beautiful. Great.

[@jdrome_]

The legend returns

[@lisamccoy6514]

Tasty tune dig it 💖💖💖🎶

[@nikkseven3543]

The first !!!!!!!!

[@thebrandolorian9037]

I was hoping people like you went the way of the dinosaur by now. I was sadly mistaken.

[@sharquiqui]

Let’s goooooo!

[@jilljackson939]

So great!! I’m loving it!

[@MrSupaflyd4384]

Dan fkn’ rules!!! 😻🖖🏵💓✨

[@simonnott3076]

Great song.

[@thekrakets328]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pjslon2218]

Damn, this record is sound absolutely great! From about 1998 to just a few years ago, I always preferred Skiba's stuff in Alkaline Trio. Going back now, and hearing their non-Trio projects as well, I think I've finally flipped to the Andriano side. Can't wait for the album!

[@robertfrost8264]

Always favored Dan songs.

[@nikkseven3543]

Nice song

[@alexislabing6612]

Easy and positive 😊

[@Faazz01]

Love it!!

[@mgphoto84]

❤️💜❤️💜❤️

[@AfterTheApocalypse26]

Just came here after a really disappointing song by a band I adored when I was growing up. Really thankful for releases like this that are so genuine and emotional that never come close to bad faith or grievance. Very excited for this record to come out and definitely to hear more Alk3 soon

[@putusuardana4892]

Still hearing lil bit the emergency room .... Real deal 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@lemadfab]

Fantastic

[@richardrynard600]

You kill it at everything you are a part of!!! Been listening from the being of alk3. Let's see you to the drums, you can play everything else lol

[@catastrophiasco]

Who remembers Tuesday? Like, on compact disc?

[@Tilbo_]

Would love to know what gear Dan's using to get that guitar tone. It's so good!

[@FBombCrew]

🤘🖤

[@nikkseven3543]

🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nikkseven3543]

Awesomeee

[@CRAZYTRAIN876]

[@TheGodking-id3bv]

Good for driving to

[@adamnoeasyfeet]

DAS A GOOD ONE

[@birdman8384]

John Goblikon sent me here

[@Bread99]

I'm pretty sure at least 13k of the 26k plays on this video are mine.

[@jimmythunders999]

Great fuckin' songwriter... always has been. Stoked on this more power pop sound!

[@isaiahmorales5434]

Dan covered "I will" by the Beatles and it was on a split album he made with Mike and I loved the whole album but I can't find it anywhere anymore....anyone know where I can find it?? (posting on all vids so someone can see it)

[@patzyterps7044]

What? No! DM Him on instagram, he Will for sure be able to tell You

[@jrbiron6720]

Are the band members Dan's kids ?

[@SHAFTERSHAFTERSHAFTER]

Nice

[@brownpunk1794]

More falcon please.

[@jasoncoker1625]

Love you Dan. How are Grant and Skiba these days? And Heather?💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@lancesperoni7540]

That was great, Dan constantly amazes me. Much better than Matt who everything he comes out with just sounds like Trio, except Heavens of course. Thats not a bad thing, it just doesnt flex his talent very well.

[@atrio1136]

I thought Matt Skiba and The Secrets was different and some tracks on My Shame is True.

O primeiro brasileiro caramba !🇧🇷

[@liamjonasscale]

i need some info about the strat i this video. is it an early 80's Maui Blue or something newer thats trying to get there? because it gets there.

[@AdventureGameHotspot]

New band name suggestion - Old Guy and the Kids.

[@micahpotter9615]

Its a simple song just like the 70s music

[@robertlanterman9983]

Oh hi it's Get Married

[@elkboy]

On 10-7-21 there are 17 bags of crap that can't be happy that Dan is trying really hard to shed his old skin and be happy

[@atrio1136]

Is that Dan's daughter on bass?

[@PodDecks]

Glad someone else thought the same thing

[@nickgonzalez4081]

No, that is actually my daughter. Her name is Kayla. Dan's daughter is much younger. I'm in no band or anything but proud of my daughter...

[@nikkseven3543]

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@HeyRoPer]

Is this song about Skiba and Trio? Is he leaving the band? 😳

[@MrMotherfuck123]

Who's she ?

[@thenoisyneighbour]

can hear Matt Skiba

[@CristopherArzola]

Parece una cancion de Bad Religion pero tranquila... 😐

[@lazyboy300]

ah, agora quero ouvir o BR tocando uma versão dessa música. A voz do Dan e do Greg já estão se juntando aqui na minha cabeça

[@brookecalder9394]

New politics

[@smallfaucet]

He is a great lip sync-er.

[@hjw9347]

The guy reminds me of Justin Trudeau

[@jerry4249]

Thanks for nothing.

[@sinanermis5541]

I love chris wollard more than chuck in hot water music and the same way I love dan andriano more than matt skiba in alkaline trio. both of the bands are simply the best anyways
