Let me be your everlasting light
The sun when there is none
I'm a shepherd for you
And I'll guide you through
Let me be your everlasting light

Let me be your everlasting light
I'll hold and never scold
In me you can confide
When no one's by your side
Let me be your everlasting light

Oh baby, can't you see
I'm shining just for you
Loneliness is over
Dark days are through
They're through

Let me be your everlasting light
A train going away from pain
Love is the coal
That makes this train roll
Let me be your everlasting light

Let me be your everlasting light
Let me be your everlasting light
Be your everlasting light, oh

This is quite OK, but why not play more T-Rex? I don't mind that this band borrows from the best, but really...

Just listened to their latest, Hi/Lo, in its entirety last night.  Your statement from years ago couldn't be more valid now.
 I like them, to a degree, but their overwhelming derivativeness makes me  cringe.

They don't make me cringe, but in the old days of broadcast radio there were certain bands that I was fine with hearing on the radio but I wasn't motivated to buy their albums. The Black Keys are in that category for me.

No words can express how much I love the Keys.
This song is most suitable for this moment.
I've learnt a thing or two lately...

Would like to hear a Marc Bolan version, but that is not likely to happen on this astral plane.

Just had to shut off RP.  Wow, that was giving me a headache.  Needs to be remixed.

Fantastic album if you like this track.  I love this track and give the whole album an 8.  Not a bad track to be heard, which is rare.
Posted 13 years ago by Byronape    [ Reply ]
This does not sound like The Black Keys which is why I like it!{#Lol}

Some lo-fi fx work, and some don't.  The lo-fi on the guitar works, but on the vocal, not so much.

I started out not liking it, then sort of, then kinda, then..I'm giving it a 9 now and bought the MP3. Now I listen to it in the car, and rock out....like this:  {#Drummer}, cause I'm playing air drums.

Interesting disc. At once novel and retro—something you'd swear was done by some hippie band in a garage down the street...
Posted 13 years ago by WonderLizard    [ Reply ]
30 seconds in, and I like it already!!  Why haven't I heard of these guys before?  Thanks again, RP :D
Posted 13 years ago by DigitalJer    [ Reply ]
Agreed.  Love the Keys...and I've adjusted to their new sound.  I was taken back a bit when I first heard the album but it's one that I go back to over and over again.  Can't get enough of these guys.
