Richard & Mimi Fariña : Children Of Darkness

I used to sing this song. Long before I met Mimi, I sang it at shows. Years later I performed with Mimi at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. She sat beside me in one of the workshops. There was a moment in one of my songs when I lost the thread. Sensing my dilemma, Mimi reached over and placed her hand gently on my back. A moment later the lyrics came back to me. She was a resonant human being, a courageous soul with the most beautiful eyes. In this video, along with photographs of Mimi and Richard, I added other pictures of beloved artists from the same era, many of whom have passed on. Richard’s song remains as relevant today as it did when first recorded. And I still feel Mimi’s hand on my back. DL CHILDREN OF DARKNESS (R Fariña) Now is the time for your loving, dear And the time for your company Now when the light of reason fails And fires burn on the sea Now in this age of confusion I have need for your company.
