1962成立於英國曼徹斯特的知名樂團The Hollies,其最亮眼的人物應為主唱Allan Clarke。1968,Allan Clarke的兒時玩伴且後來一起組團的Graham Nash ( 或許他才是團中的最重量級人物 ),離開了The Hollies,並另合組Crosby, Stills & Nash ( 後來因Neil Young的加入而成為Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young,簡稱CSNY ),感覺還滿成功的。受此影響,Allan Clarke也在1971突然地離團單飛。

Allan Clarke離團後,The Hollies推出了一張之前即錄製完成的專輯《Distant Light》,其中一首由Allan Clarke與人合寫,也由其主唱的《Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress》,竟意外的在美國告示牌熱門榜奪得了第2名,唱片銷售僅美國地區就超過了150萬張。同專輯的另首單曲,也就是此首《Long Dark Road》,是由吉他手Tony Hicks所寫,也同為Allan Clarke主唱,成績也頗出色,達到第26名。

樂團有了暢銷熱門曲,但在巡迴演唱時卻非「原音重現」,總會覺得有些怪怪的美中不足。1973,Allan Clarke又重回了The Hollies,但同時仍繼續發行其個人專輯。1999,因聲帶的問題終於宣佈退休。2011,Allan Clarke意外的出現在David Crosby和他的老友Graham Nash的演唱會上,還和Nash合唱了他們在1966第一次打進美國排行榜Top 10的《Bus Stop》。

It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start

You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
It's there and flows away a distant past

Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you

Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you

It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's past
It's gone now, moved on now
But then again it didn't have a chance to last
No, no, no, a chance to last

Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you

Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)

Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)

Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road) (Baby, I need you, I need you)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)

Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
