The darkness begins

 ### Hello hello silver bloggers, music lovers and Hello hivers! Inspiration don't you just love it? The clocks went back on Sunday meaning it gets dark an earlier haha and it drives me up the bloody wall. Go to work in dark, come home in the dark yeah not my cup of tea lol! The lead image picture was taken at 5.18pm and it won't be long before it is pitch black at that time! ### So surprise surprise today we are having three tunes about the darkness! *** It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you! *** @ablaze started #ttt **231** weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his last post [Tom Waits (Foreign Affairs) for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 231 - win some HBI](https://peakd.com/hive-193816/@ablaze/tom-waits-foreign-affairs-for-three-tune-tuesday-week-231-win-some-hbi) Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the SIX sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours! ### Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday  One of my favourite bands and we go back to 1987 to kick things off! ### Tune 1 - Hazy Shade of Winter – The Bangles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxrwImCJCqk Given the chilly turn in the weather and how quickly the days are shrinking, I've put together a trio of tracks that perfectly capture the mood of darkness, cold, and fluffing short winter days. This one perfectly captures the transition into the gloomier half of the year. and a great tune to kick us off! Released from Less Than Zero (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) in November 1987  ### Tune 2 - A Winter Shade of Pale – Procol Harum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0vCwGUZe1I Oh how I wish I had a pound for every time I heard this being playing in a pub juke box over the years! It is also a bit appropriate for the latest Silver Bloggers Prompt [The Silverbloggers Chronicles - Prompt #18 - A Moment In History](https://ecency.com/hive-106316/@hive-106316/the-silverbloggers-chronicles-prompt-18-a-moment-in-history) Released from Shine On Brightlyin December 1968  **We finish up with a tune from this millennium!** ### Tune 3 - Colder Weather – Zac Brown Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oouFE51HcqM I am not a big country fan, but certain bands certain musicians and certain songs I like! This is one though ... Released from You Get What You Give in 21st September 2010  ### So there you have it — my three picks for a "turning into darkenss" kind of week. Which was your favourite tune? Or have you never heard of them? Oh yes ... The answer ... ### The band took their name from Marilyn Monroe's final film, The Misfits (1961)  ***Note**: The 3 YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.* I wish that you all have a brilliant happy fun and terrific Tuesday until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶 ### Thanks for visiting!
