I have never seen anyone who understands rock/ metal like Justin Hawkins. He knows when to be serious, when to be self-deprecating. He knows when to be heavy, when to be melodic and balances all the necessary ingredients with perfect grace. Absolutely unrivaled. I would give anything to watch Freddie Mercury listen to the Darkness for the first time.

Nobody has written songs this iconic and powerful since Queen.

I will never understand why this song didn’t take off as one of their most popular. It’s so anthemic. I wish they played it live. I’d pay stupid money for them to whack it in the setlist

Last week I asked my son to come over to help me move some heavy items from the basement…anyway, I heard him singing under his breath…”children, we are the last of our kind.” I was floored. I asked him why he was singing it and he said “it’s one of the songs I remember you playing (I actually played the whole cd nonstop) all the time and it reminds me of some of my favorite times when I was growing up. 😢

It shocks me because that was a time I was really struggling as a single parent to pay the bills and keep food in the house. To know that it was one of his favorite times validates that I was doing something right. All three of my kids love The Darkness and that was one year y’all really got us through some rough times.

This is a masterpiece. This stuff is infinite. What a riff, what a vocal part and lyrics, what a guitar solo, what a voice, what a genius. One of the last rock band that deserves to be classified as real Rock Band nowadays

[ShreddieMurphyy]

Whoever the dude is who takes his shirt off, I hope he shows this to his grandchildren. Legend.

Freddie Mercury smileing from heaven :)))

[kelvinize]

Am I the only one who understand this song as "We are the last Decent Rock band of this generation?"

[platonicspree]

I am so happy to be a part of this! Beautiful band and beautiful music.

[HeavyAndLow]

I was in this video! I got my back up against the record machine. I ain't the worst you've seen.

[nightboundofficial]

This is how you write an immortal rock anthem

[kaleidojess]

When I listen to their music I feel like I'm living the best years of my life in a few minutes. ❤️

Lost touch with The Darkness after the third catching up with everything I have missed this track is absolutely and utterly fantastic.

"All the jackals and the undead just can't wait to wipe the last of us out
Once there were others like us then there were none
Late at night while the world is sleeping I can hear the call of my kin
They wait for me and when I join them we will be forgotten"

some of the most poetic and sad I've ever heard in a song

[rorapinny]

Lyrics:  
We have sat like this just waiting for their arrows to blacken the skies
Many times before and we will again... God willing
I am honoured to have served alongside men who inspire defiance
Sometimes I tire of the fighting and the killing

We are survivors
The ones left behind
Defenders of the legacy
The last of our kind

Children
We are the last of our kind
Children
We are the last of our kind

When the arrows fall like rain
We'll start and rise again
We are the last of our kind

All the jackals and the undead just can't wait to wipe the last of us out
Once there were others like us then there were none
Late at night while the world is sleeping I can hear the call of my kin
They wait for me and when I join them we will be forgotten

We are survivors
The ones left behind
Defenders of the legacy
The last of our kind

Children
We are the last of our kind
Children
We are the last of our kind

When the arrows fall like rain
We'll start and rise again
We are the last of our kind

Children
We are the last of our kind
Children
We are the last of our kind

When the arrows fall like rain
We'll start and rise again
We are the last of our kind


You're welcome

[PatPakken]

[superdavidss]

Rufus stares in awe at the mad circus arround him 3:11 LOL

The spirit of Freddie Mercury was strong in that stage

[samkerr]
