That's funny. I was just watching True Lies and that scene came on, and I was already on the computer, so I found the song to listen. During the dance scene though, I quit typing with my hands.
O wow, this song helped me through the night..kicked out by some woman..I could return to sleepon the attic..hiding my booze in some army boots I still kept listening to this song with my headphones all the way back in 2013, this song was performed in the good year 1987..ultimate brilliancy
It's a lonely picture Of an empty glass It's a still life study Of a drunken ass And he howls at the moon Hoping the sun don't come up too fast I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone on my knees at last Alone in the dark It's extreme self pity And frozen fear 'cause I want you with me And you're not here So I rub my nose in it babe Til the roses smell just like death I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone and drawing whiskey breath Alone in the dark My head is spinning baby what went wrong I swear to god I tried Just turned around one day and you were gone Now these tears I have to cry Alone in the dark baby, I'm all alone, I'm all alone, I'm all alone Since the night you left I just couldn't stand myself anyway I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone on my knees at last Alone in the dark I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone on my knees at last Alone in the dark
Great you all using the same words as I would use for this song: bad-ass, kickass, funkin' hot song. All alone in the dark, drawing whiskey breath. From the album Bring the family, with Ry Cooder on guitar. In this band, (slide)guitarplayer is Sonny Landreth.
GooD Sound !!! I remember the first I heard this music it was From the movie "True Lies" And I wondered who sings this song cos' there's something weird in it. In fact I was confusing it with "The Commitments - Mustang Sally". It's almost the same
looks like Hiatt's playing in E or B, Sonny would be open D or A. Not sure what tunings he uses, but that would be my guess. As good as he is , Cooder gave it a little more bottom, or the bass needs a little more oomph
@@davidcohen393, that band was the Guilty Dogs, not dirty dogs ---- they were Hiatt's studio and road band for the Perfectly Good Good Guitar tour, with Mike Ward on guitar and Davey Farragher (I think) on bass. I saw them 4 times on that tour and they just kept getting better and better! Mike Ward played a slide solo on Thank You Girl ( from Bring the Family) that would have made Cooder or Landreth sweat bullets (and I'm a huge fan of both)!
this is the song featured in the movie true lies, where Jamie Lee Curtis strips and does a sexy dance for Arnold S.!So I can see this as a perfect strip song now, lol!
I have the MP3/CD quality of the "radio" version of this song, as used in "True :Lies" when Jamie Lee Curtis is dancing like a tramp. Want the sheet music & tabs? Message me.
Nope, that's Sonny Landreth; Ry wasn't available for the tour to support Hiatt's Bring the Family, so Sonny and the Goners got the gig instead ---- without which I likely wouldn't have heard of Sonny and my life would be duller for it. It wasn't until the Little Village record and tour some 5 or 6 years later that the original Bring the Family crew (Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner) got together again for a record and tour (the record was so-so but they were great live).
It's kind of sad that it takes a recommendation from Bonnamassa (whom I find kinda bland) to alert people to the greatness of Sonny and John Hiatt, who played this some 35 years ago.
this song brings to my mind Arnold sitting in the chair and his wife "Helen" dancing in front of him ))))))

@@stevennorris3641 listen to Ain't nothin bout you, by brooks n dunn
Yes, and I've always wanted to see and hear it live.
Definitely...the sexiest song for me!!! I love it!!!
Sonny Landreth is the slide guitar. He has had one heck of a career. An amazing talent with a unique style in how he plays the slide.
Hiatt hat wirklich immer gute Bands- Gitarristen-Bassisten-drummer und ist selbst ein excellenter Gitarrist.
Was für geile Songs der Mann schreibt!
This is killer. Gut bucket vocals, sweet groove, and that d@mn slide player is smokin’ hot.
😍 love this song, so damn seductive
Sonny and John! Perfect pair!

😁👍
One of the greatest songs ever.
It's a lonely picture
Of an empty glass
It's a still life study
Of a drunken ass
And he howls at the moon
Hoping the sun don't come up too fast
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone on my knees at last
Alone in the dark
It's extreme self pity
And frozen fear
'cause I want you with me
And you're not here
So I rub my nose in it babe
Til the roses smell just like death
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone and drawing whiskey breath
Alone in the dark
My head is spinning baby what went wrong
I swear to god I tried
Just turned around one day and you were gone
Now these tears I have to cry
Alone in the dark baby, I'm all alone,
I'm all alone, I'm all alone
Since the night you left
I just couldn't stand myself anyway
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone on my knees at last
Alone in the dark
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone on my knees at last
Alone in the dark
Mant thanks.
This was the perfect song ,for the seen in true lies. With the perfect actress, Jamie Lee Curtis. Dam good song and show
I prefer Sonny Landreth's work with The Goners over anything else he's done. It's the perfect framework for his artistry.
Ahhhhh......refreshing
Súper clásico 👍
That guitar intro... godamn!!!
Wahre Groovemonster!!!!!
Oh my God!! That´s amazing!!
YES ... God bless youtube - we can see the soul with our eyes shut!!@!!
ogni volta che ascolto questa canzone, mi piace di più
Listening to this 2020...sexyist song in awhile...but heard on true lies ...
marvellous great Tune !!!
Love this song!
Hell yeah...!
been trying to find this song for years... god bless youtube
New song for me I love it!!
Cheesus, wat a cool John Hiatt yet again,......ma favorite anyway,...cool slide guitarist too,.....wouh,...Yeah
One of my favourite songs.
Saw him doing Riding with the King with a different guy on lead, it was a smoking performance...
This sounds better than the CD
well im coming from true lies straight to here ! (8)
this version sucks
favourite scene! love this song!
Soooooo good!! 👍💖
Sonny Landreth❤
Happy Birthday Hiatt Man!
mbroders...u have one fine music taste ....thx tak so myket!
Magic! Love it!
PASSION................. that`s John Hiatt
Это та песня , под которую танцевала горячая Джейми Ли Кертис в фильме Правдивая ложь !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
kickass music!
And that children, is how you use a slide.
Yeah rock yeah !
Sonny Landreth on slide makes this song not to mention John Hiatt's vocals !!!
I don't think so. I like Sonny, but he overplays here. Ry's sparse playing smoulders so much more. And they take it too fast.
@@jspartacus Agreed
You got it John Hiatt.
Tom Waits must love this 👹☘️
yeah genius john
Trully a great song!!! Thank You So Much For Posting Woot!!!!
Great you all using the same words as I would use for this song: bad-ass, kickass, funkin' hot song. All alone in the dark, drawing whiskey breath. From the album Bring the family, with Ry Cooder on guitar. In this band, (slide)guitarplayer is Sonny Landreth.
This song drips sexy. Gawd!!
Enjoyed watching John & the Goners play this song live. And yes I always think of Jamie Lee Curtis doing the hot sexy striptease in "True Lies".
I gotta start paying attention. just found this...
TRUE LIES ......LOVE IT
Sonny = the best slide guitar player EVER !!!!!
I think Duane Allman would have something to say about that if he were here!! 🤔🤨
No, sorry. Ry.
@@BRO77TX Warren (you know who) said that 😛
@@AdriaanJABreukel Warren H. said that as well....
GooD Sound !!!
I remember the first I heard this music it was From the movie "True Lies"
And I wondered who sings this song cos' there's something weird in it. In fact I was confusing it with "The Commitments - Mustang Sally".
It's almost the same
I love this song its a little groovy and sexy!
I need more songs like this in my life... anybody got some recommendations?
She's got the jack by ac/dc
Give me up again by Jonny Lang/Joy by Lucinda Williams/henry's fuck up by Minor Majority/Hands Up I love you by Madrugada
I wish Mick Taylor and Sonny would have gotten into a slide-off on this performance.The place would explode.
@jpsartrean right on brother.. this is kickass slide-guitar playing!
looks like Hiatt's playing in E or B, Sonny would be open D or A. Not sure what tunings he uses, but that would be my guess. As good as he is , Cooder gave it a little more bottom, or the bass needs a little more oomph
Dance for me
Wish this was available on DVD and or CD.
There is an Austin City Limits DVD with Hiatt and the Dirty Dogs. No Sonny Landreth, but a great band nonetheless!
@@davidcohen393, that band was the Guilty Dogs, not dirty dogs ---- they were Hiatt's studio and road band for the Perfectly Good Good Guitar tour, with Mike Ward on guitar and Davey Farragher (I think) on bass.

Were are you jamie lee curtis?
That slide guitar player dominates.
Very sexy song. Super!
awesome - better than the original version!!!
That guy’s playin’ the shit outta that slide guitar. He’s from outer space...!
Sonny Landreth is a guitar GOD!
mmmm, baby. yeah.
Any backup to J H , MY friend

Bad Girl..... Need to have some "punishment" Yeeeaaaaahh!!! xD
As much as I "dig" John/ the Goners & Sonny's smooth slide, I would prefer to watch Jamie Lee's slide.
Do it…doucement…
show
Definitely RY COODER ON SLIDE
Nope, that's Sonny Landreth; Ry wasn't available for the tour to support Hiatt's Bring the Family, so Sonny and the Goners got the gig instead ---- without which I likely wouldn't have heard of Sonny and my life would be duller for it. It wasn't until the Little Village record and tour some 5 or 6 years later that the original Bring the Family crew (Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner) got together again for a record and tour (the record was so-so but they were great live).
Even w/o jamie lee curtis dancing this song is still horny
Too bad Norton Buffalo (RIP) Harp wasn't heard on this....
Jamie Lee set this song off san!!!
I like when my wife strips on this song! xD
Grhahahahwooohooo~!!!
Ry Cooder, Jim Keltner... I'm not sure ? A great song from a great album.
from Jamie lee Curtis Strip scene, live version is far better
sonny landreth!
Sonny Landreth is the boss.
let´s go to the nudie-bar, haha!
Very sorry friends I do love Sonny but on this song I prefere the ry's rythme guitare .
Roger from France
@questioningtherain,
Fuck yeah. Awesome action movie. If heaven was an object, it would be Jamie Lee Curtis' ass.
Sexi song
Funky 🚬🔥💩
true lies!!!
Here because of Joe Bonamassa
It's kind of sad that it takes a recommendation from Bonnamassa (whom I find kinda bland) to alert people to the greatness of Sonny and John Hiatt, who played this some 35 years ago.
Ha!! True lies. CLassic!!
Sonny Landreth ..king
