Let this song fulfill all your “Dark Necessities,” at any given time.

Consider the lyrics:

“Coming out to the light of day/ We got many moons than a deeper place/ So I keep an eye on the shadow’s smile/ To see what it has to say/ You and I both know/ Everything must go away/ Ah, what do you say?/ Spinning off, head is on my heart/ It’s like a bit of light and a touch of dark,” he sings.
