Justin Hawkins: Planning Permission / Curse of the Tollund Man Live Music Video

[@stevedrivingslowly9517]

Justin, for me these are the definitive versions of both song. They are amazing. Please for the love of all that is significant and noteworthy, do more of this.

[@billymorris3265]

This very well may be the coolest human being on the planet. Not even sure how I found this. The algorithm is getting too powerful!

[@anastasiabosakowski8651]

One of the best lyrics ever written, EVER: I need a home in which to revel, I need a place to keep my spirit level. As a DIYer, I know the feeling :)

[@matcoffidis1135]

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing...🤟

[@vermilliongecko]

Two of my favourite Darkness gems ever, with utterly genius lyrics. The 80's synth pop kid in me loves this.

[@daviddonley3978]

Planning Permission, up there in the top 5 of fave Darkness tracks.

[@BottIsNotABot]

The Eagles are a touch of pure class!

[@LazyLBand]

Planning Permission is pure lyrical genius. Great song.

[@NickFarnell-m7y]

As an architect for many years I understand your pain and love your take on it, keep it up and you will get there eventually. Peace and love

[@ryanwalsh133]

Can't wait to see the mighty Darkness in November. Permission to Land is still, I'm my eyes the best debut album EVER. Everything they've released so far is what today's industry is calling out for. Everyone should listen and appreciate how good The Darkness are. 😁👍🏻

[@danbee6407]

Stoked seeing you after so many years. Healthy, rocking out & excited about life. I'm 34 & still believing in a thing called love~! Haha, cheers man.

[@JackyRogue]

Planning permission is ABSOLUTELY genius and some of your finest work, to say I love this song is not enough!

[@898cookie5417gurl]

I have a darkness tshirt from when I wax 17. It disturbs me that Ive owned it for literally half of my life. Also this is such a killer version of planning permission.

[@ericMT]

Curse of the Tollund Man was never released in the US as far as I am aware of and it’s a real shame. What a really cool song. This version is fantastic.

[@BarbaraAntoinetteVeronica]

I really love the song & what all of you do with your voices.

[@mr.FRESHWATER]

The editing in this is hilarious 😂 especially the eagles. Great tune too

[@jayholewinski]

Among MANY other DAAARKNESS songs... I LOVE the creativity in the lyrics of this song. I love you Justin. My kid tried to steal one of your British Converse AllStars. When you were crowd surfing at a show in Detroit about 7/ 8/ 9 years ago. Lol. We absolutely LOVE the beginning of The Darkness as a band we were some of your first American fans via MySpace. Oh sooo lovley MySpace and how I miss it so. Lol. That's how I found your band one night in 2003. Fell in love with the riffs and the lyrics and the tone. And of course your falsetto is unsurpassed. I loved every single NOTE of songs like Friday Night, The Best Of Me, Love Is Only a Feeling. Your solo work on the crunchy beginnings of the first 2 -3/4 albums (even in HotLegg (spl chk) lp are raw and well performed Justin. I am a guitarist musician and song writer as well. And I am just learning how to play solos after starting and playing on classical guitars (only) since the age of 14 and I am now 51. But I still cant play your stuff. Lol. Its... 1), your stuff. Lol it's got your elegance that I don't have yet. But something to strive for and very influential to me. After the like of ALL the other that came prior to you... I enjoy YOUR playing more so than listening to most other guitarist. You are a genius on a Les Paul I love you brother. This was a fun segment of songs. I'm subscribing.

[@paulscott6463]

Damn it, now I’m binge watching you, and I’m going to be singing this all day tomorrow, if only to annoy a buddy I’m working with

[@fd9717]

If The Darkness never crafted anything but Planning Permission, it would be still enough for them to take my heart and not to allow any other band but Queen to be in it

[@henryglarsson2635]

You're a legend mate. Good to see you in top form

[@jessiejoseph1093]

So good!

[@scre4609]

GET IT BROTHA!!! AMAZING RANGE,GREAT SONGWRITING, SLICK GUITARS AND OFCOURSE THE ENERGY IS ALWAYS OFF THE CHARTS!

[@anastasiabosakowski8651]

I love this so, so, so much! Thank you for this. I've loved these songs since they first came out . I adore your music commentary videos, but this was a real treat! Thank you, Justin, see you in March!

[@samsewall8341]

Brilliant. So many great singles/b-sides from those days. Both of these are killer renditions, for sure they should be put out for regular consumption.

[@NightmareCo666]

Utter genius! As a music tech guy (even got my BSc in it) I'd love to just chat and chill with this beautiful man

[@MsDonnahill]

I'm at home with a back injury. This has made my morning. Thank you! 😊

I love curse of the Tollund man, it’s an ear worm for days after each listen! Listened to it quite a bit over on Justin’s Patreon, thoroughly recommend joining! 😃 The one on one singing tutorials are fabulous! 😁 x

[@elleeme9451]

Excellent!

[@kreavix]

Oh the joys of lock down! 🤪🤭 I'm still in a light state of shock at this very moment from hearing and seeing these interpretations of older Darkness song material, that I'm not sure what to think 😅 But maybe I should check out that Patreon site he's got? 😊👍 Thanks for posting this by the way 🤟

[@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain]

You definitely should!

[@cc_1983]

Great choice with the Charvels! Awesome version of the songs

[@MegaSting1981]

Okay this is fantastic!

[@SafffOneee]

really cool!!

[@shady1kenobi]

Request... When you play in America, stop playing all of permission to land and instead play B-Sides from the era. All your fans have heard the first album a dozen times live, hit us with a left hook. See you in New York City!

[@charliechez6682]

Amazing!

[@Maletchy]

Where is this recorded? That place looks beautiful.

[@FaenmegTastisk]

Love this :) You may know this by now, but it seems like you've mistaken the Tollund Man for the Lindow Man! The former was hanged and he was found in Denmark while Lindow Man aka Pete Marsh was "killed by blows to the head, garrotting, swallowing mistletoe and then drowning in the waters of the peat bog" and was found in North England.

[@erik.liebenberg]

I reckon you should do a musical analysis on this one

[@omega1231]

Wait, you made a song about a Danish bog body? I did not expect that

[@djuengst2000]

I was going to say you didn’t bother to rhyme in the first half of the song but you made up for it in the second half…and there was a guitar solo😊

[@1siriuswolf]

I say ol chap highly irregular!

[@keith-leecastle6700]

I’m very much NOT a fan of The Darkness but….begrudgingly, I do accept they’re genius and ridiculously personable. Justin Hawkins is probably the greatest example of irreverence and charm. Damn this Lowestoft lot!

Keith Lee castle. I was never really a Darkness fan, but Justin has just landed in my feed and he’s a top banana.

It's a Charvel not a Strat! They're great!

[@foofy14]

@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain yhyh but a strat shape. Yeah Charvels do feel nice to play, but we both know they're nothing on a Les Paul! ;))

[@charliedjet4523]

High quality Fender Strats are Fantastic guitars! Charvel are awesome too! I love Les Pauls too but they are usually a dropped shoulder waiting to happen. Weigh a ton!

[@MrKarn01]

Wtf so gay song?

[@revilerred7440]

Hawkins was how I even discovered I had a falsetto at like age 17-18. Lol
