"'''Actually It's Darkness'''" is a song by [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[rock band]] [[Idlewild (band)|Idlewild]], from their 2000 [[album]] ''[[100 Broken Windows]]''.

==Critical response==

"Actually It's Darkness" was described as "guitar clamour ... expertly shorn of unnecessary detritus and laden with all the necessary qualities of electrifying lift-off by the ''[[NME]]'' in their review of the track on its release as a single. The magazine went on to state that, although the song does not differ greatly from other Idlewild tracks released at the time, "as long as they keep delivering the noise this succinctly and unconditionally" this is not an issue.<ref name=NME1>{{cite journal|first=Crysell|last=Andy|title=Singles|journal=[[NME]]|pages=44–45|date=25 March 2000}}</ref>

Redirect to:

  • From a song: This is a redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist where the song is mentioned. Redirecting to the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable to redirecting to the artist when possible.
    • There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
    • For redirects of cover songs to the article about the original song, use {{R from cover song}} instead.
    • For redirects of remixes to the article about the original song, use {{R from remix}} instead.
