Fink performs Perfect Darkness, the first song of his session for the Dutch tv show 2 Meter Sessies. Recorded on October 9th, 2011. Full session (six songs) over here: www.2metersessi...
Couldn’t agree more. If you like this kind of moody stuff I’d say look at Half Moon Run. Very cool band. Local Natives too. Always more cool stuff to find!
I love that TV shows are finding these artists now. I've found so many great hidden gems of music/musicians through television shows in the past 5 years.
Ahhh! I bought Perfect Darkness from a tiny, amazing Record shop in Southern Germany when it came out. Fell IN LOVE with the whole album. Memorised it :-). Then it got misplaced...arrrghhh! HOW?? But yesterday I found it!!! Yippee!!! This music...I LOVE it!!! Thank you Fink, for making my world more beautiful and wonderous!!!!
Perfect memories fall down like ashes From the fire we made love And everything we gotta say we save it. See the black heels around the fire. Feel the night air in Perfect darkness babe. Perfect darkness is all I can see. Deep water stay under. See it rolling over your head and just roll with it until it's all good yeah. Deep water a little deeper then you thought feel it going over the edge and just go with it until it's all good yeah. Keep those brown eyes wide open for a for this moment we own for now. And everything we gonna do we do it. See the black clouds fall out of fear Feel it rise up in perfect darkness. Perfect darkness is all I can see. Deep water stay under. See it rolling over you head and just roll with it until it's all good yeah. Deep water a little deeper then you thought feel it going over the edge and just go with it until it's all good yeah. Compass points out in all directions. From this moment we over now. With everything we do we gonna do it. And everything we do we're gonna do it. And everything we're gonna do we do it. And everything we do we're gonna do it. And everything we're gonna do we do it. Perfect darkness is all I can see. Perfect darkness is all I can see.
came across Fink and the album and this song in particular at a moment of crisis in my life, new adventures came along, and got through it all singing loudly to this wonderful tune. Perfect Darkness indeed!
I love all of their music from Perfect Darkness. I especially love hearing them live like this. Stumbled across them in an indie film and have been hooked ever since! They are amazingly talented. I'm from Birmingham, AL. in the U.S.; Wish I could see them live :'(
This is an absolutely beautiful song. I love it and would love to work with gjys like this on somerhing. Even singing along with this gave me goose bumps and that has not happened to me for quite awhile.
"Deepwater, stay under, see it rolling over your head and jus, roll with it, till it's all good" You can't tell me this song is not about confronting stress or hard times and accepting it and just moving on
luckily Fin have fans like you around the world, who appreciate his "non-hit" choruses. :) this is great, because of people like you I still believe in playing my own music, the way I feel it. Thx! ^^
well, you know, they shouldn't be famous like any pop project, and I suppose they won't be! He says: His compass points out in all directions!!! Think aabout it! Just try to put this ammazing video in any social network - not so many likes. This music is different. It needs more approching more understanding. People mostly like music which is very simple. This one is not and never gonna be. And it's really nice that it's exist!
I love Fink's strum technique although I think it's something you can only really do on nylon strings. When I try on my stell it's way too ringy and loud.
