Adele - Hello (I'm Tired of the Dark Side) Parody

In this Star Wars parody spoof of Adele's Hello music video, Darth Vader imagines leaving the dark side and reconnecting with his children by reaching out to them via the force.

Lyrics

I'm Tired of the Dark Side

Hello Luke, it's dad
I am hoping to make up for all those years we never had
A new hope for you and me
They said that I would bring the balance,
But it ain’t balancing
Leiah, can you hear me?
I'm on Coruscant and dreaming about how it might have been
Back with your mother and me
I'm imagining the times before whole worlds fell at my feet
There's so much distance between us
And I need to reconcile

I'm tired of the dark side
I want to leave it all behind
To tell you I'm sorry for every Alderaan
And it appalls you, clearly, with all that I've done
No more of this dark side
I want my children by my side
And to tell you I'm sorry for taking your arm
But it won’t matter if I don’t have a daughter and son anymore

Hello son, I miss you
I admit I have a hundred million reasons to say sorry
I hope your sisters well
I'm so glad you made it off of Tatooine where it all happened
It's no secret that it's not good with us
But we’re running out of time

I'm tired of the dark side
I want to leave it all behind
To tell you I’m sorry for every Alderaan
And it appalls you, clearly, with all that I've done
No more of this dark side
I want my children by my side
And to tell you I'm sorry for taking your arm
But it won’t matter if I don’t have a daughter and son anymore

Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore,
Anymore


I'm tired of the dark side
I want to leave it all behind
To tell you I'm sorry for every Alderaan
And it appalls you, clearly, with all that I've done
No more of this dark side
I want my family by my side
And to tell you I'm sorry for taking your arm
But it won’t matter if I don’t have a daughter and son anymore

Dart Vader isn't bad. Just needs to spend time with Luke and Leia in family counseling.

[JaceKamakazi]

Still here listening after all these years

[LL-uslv]

i cant take it as a parody its brilliant.

[richardparker]

Dude.. I feel like this song captured Darth Vaders thoughts and feelings at the end of Return.. good song, but awfully sad.. guess that's why George Lucas called the first 6 movies "The Tragedy of Darth Vader"

[dibelgelo]

I really felt this song! It seems as if the man messed up, got divorced and missing his kids. That's the vibe I get from it. So much love and sadness in it. It's never too late to apologize and make amends.

[ryantravitz]

I can imagine Anakin and his kids playing outside, extremely cheerful and everyone laughing. He turns to Padme and they smile, then her face fades away with a fiery touch and Anakin panics, turns around to realize he's alone, then wakes up. *queue song* Very brilliant parody! My favorite by far!

[DJHailrock]

Dude this is the best version of a Star Wars version of Hello! So deep

[art_zero_to_hero]

It should be a parody. But it is too touching... PS DW’s voice is amazing

[reyisnotamarysue]

Good singing for someone who essentially has no lungs

[whateverbet]

Omg i remember listening to this when i was like 7 or 8 so many memories 😭♥️

[bsmnt]

OK, I admit, this is cutting a little close to home.

[Krysstinia]

This brought me to tears. I kinda wish that this could be the official canon. Wonderful job by all involved parties.

[deutschesmaedchen]

I'm crying...Really, sad that the family wasn't back together at the end

[martinlawrence]

I honestly think this was very well done. The voice isnt a concern at all, simply because, it is very difficult to produce that James Earl Jones deepness, especially whilst singing. The context here is what matters, and I think you captured it perfectly. Not a lot of people know that Vader truly hated himself more than anything, but in the end loved his children more than anything. The fact that you represented that beautifully leaves me with nothing but praise for this song . Well done sir, keep them coming.

[brittanyhuston]

This song makes me cry every time awesome job

[vaclavvostoupalml.]

this song make me cry like Return of Jedi

[rubygamer]

Wow, just got recommended this again, it’s been at least 5 years since I first watched this, it brings back memories to when I started watching Star Wars, I had this song stuck in my head for months after listen to it! Glad to have been recommended this again!

[madhatter]

I want to 😭 cry so bad but my mum my dad my sister and my freinds are here

[bigsnake]

[JeffJohnson-dbnd]

this reminds me of my real father. His drinking ended my childhood family. Dad RIP age 70 forever now, january of 2001 50 years of on/off drinking took it's toll on his health. it's our daily habits that either make or break us.
