Richie Havens - Darkness, Darkness download mp3

I have not heard Richie for a long time and listening to him right now, I ask myself why would I deny myself the joy of hearing him sing.  He has always moved me; he has a special something that I am going to once again enjoy more often.  Happy to have found this site.

Like medicine for my soul. Thank you Richie.

He did a very good rendition of this! But hey...Richie Havens...how can it not be good?

“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”  ― Fernando Pessoa

What a wonderful voice, so haunting in some of his work....I especially love a song that Richie wrote titled "Back to My Roots"  Its featured in his CD "Back To Love."  The music world lost more than they will ever know when Richie left this world to go to another world.

“This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.” . Waylon JenningsWill
