The Black Keys Lyrics

"Everlasting Light"

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
(Shoo-shoo-shoo-wa)
I'll hold and never scold
(Shoo-shoo-shoo-wa)
In me you can confide
When no one's by your side
Let me be your everlasting light
(Shoo-shoo-shoo-wa)

Oh baby, can't you see
It's shinin' just for you
Loneliness is over
Dark days are through
They're through
(Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-wa)

Let me be your everlasting light
(Shoo-shoo-shoo-wa)
A train goin' 'way from pain
(Shoo-shoo-shoo-wa)
Love is the coal
That makes this train roll
Let me be your everlasting light
Yeah

Let me be your everlasting light
Let me be your everlasting light
Let me be your everlasting light
Ohh...

While creating this song, the band recorded basic drums and bass before overdubbing guitar, keyboards, vocals and percussion. They did it for several other album's songs, e.g. "Howlin' for You", "Sinister Kid", as a part of their rhythm-driven approach. Neill said that the emphasis on bass was a result of the odd studio's acoustics.

Rolling Stone magazine placed "Everlasting Light" at number 11 on its "Best Songs of 2010" list.
