Darlene may refer to:
Darlene Joyce Zschech ( /dɑrˈliːn ˈtʃɛk/; born Steinhardt on 8 September 1965 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian Pentecostal worship leader and singer-songwriter who primarily writes praise and worship songs. She is the former worship pastor of Hillsong Church and is currently a member of Compassionart, a charity founded by Martin Smith.
As a young adult Zschech sang jingles for a number of international companies including McDonald's, KFC and Coca Cola.
In 2003, Zschech released her first solo album in nine years, entitled Kiss of Heaven. She had earlier released a vinyl album in 1987 called Make The Choice and a cassette album in 1993 called Pearls & Gold. Change Your World followed in 2005. She has since released two albums in 2011 called Simply Darlene and You Are Love. In addition to writing songs, Zschech has written four books: Worship (1996), Extravagant Worship (2002), The Kiss of Heaven (2003) and The Great Generational Transition (2009).
Zschech and her husband were the founding executive directors of Mercy Ministries Australia. In 2009, after an 18-month investigation, they were named by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission as being two of several former directors of Mercy Ministries Australia likely for the organisation's "false, misleading and deceptive conduct". They claimed their services were free, but in fact "residents had to sign over their Centrelink benefits during their stay."
A young rookie, working on her first case as the lead detective, attempts to catch a killer who thinks he has committed the "perfect" murder.

Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Not just the story of a life - The movie of a lifetime.
The triumphant true-life story of Tina Turner!
Ike Turner, Sr.: Hey, Anna Mae, where you goin'? I need to get some sleep!::Tina Turner: Go straight to hell, Ike!
Tina Turner: [to the audience] You know, every now and then, I think you might like to hear something from us nice and easy. But there's just one thing: we never, ever do nothing nice and easy, we always do it nice and rough. So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy, and then we're gonna do the finish rough. That's the way we do Creedence Clearwater's "Proud Mary".
Tina Turner: I just believe that anything is possible. You know, anything. Now, it took me a long time to get Ike out of my system. And now that I've done that, I'm ready. I'm ready and I know what I want.
Ike Turner, Sr.: [to Tina] Now, you listen to me. I MADE you. You were nothing before you met me, and you ain't gonna be nothing without me.
Grandma Georgiana: Your mama had to go away for a while.::Young Anna Mae Bullock: When is she coming back to get me?::Grandma Georgiana: She ain't, honey. She just ain't.
Jackie: [to Anna Mae] Lorraine was Ike's last gig. He's always booking ahead. Now, you watch yourself.
Zelma Bullock: Now, Anna Mae, I know I wasn't around. But believe me, you were too young to know what was going on with your daddy and me.::Tina Turner: Did Alline understand? She ain't that much older then me.::Zelma Bullock: Now, don't think you're going to come live in my house and make me feel bad. You're gonna have to pull your own weight, girl. This ain't just some party town, you hear?
Judge: I want you to be very sure about this. This means you're gonna walk out of here with absolutely nothing.::Tina Turner: Except my name. I'll give up all that other stuff, but only if I get to keep my name. I've worked too hard for it, your honor.::Ike Turner, Sr.: The name is mine. The name got my daddy's blood on it. If she wanna go, she can go wherever she wanna go, but the name stays home!
Ike Turner, Sr.: [to Tina] Now, we got the right song in the right place at the right time! Now, I need you to get out on that stage right now!
Jackie: [after being hit by Ike for defending Tina] Fuck you, Ike! I'm outta here. You ain't got to hit me but once!::Tina Turner: Jackie, it's alright!::Jackie: It's not alright unless the motherfucker piles on you! If you had any sense, you'd get outta here, too.::Ike Turner, Sr.: [throws Jackie's bag at her] If you had any sense, you'd get the fuck out of here!::Jackie: [to Ike] KISS MY ASS!::[to Tina]::Jackie: You're a dead woman if you stay here!::Ike Turner, Sr.: And don't let me catch you around in my house either! Come on, sit down and eat some cake, Anna Mae.

She comes home from work every night,
Sits in her apartment hoping the phone would ring,
Ends up staying home to watch TV,
Makes excuses for herself she can't begin to believe,
Someone's bound to call tomorrow night, just wait and see
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
Face it now, you're not 16
You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
And things can get hard to explain
Like when your little daughter asks where her daddy's gone
And you can't bear to put her on
She's all that you have got, so do the best you can
When she's old enough, you hope that she will understand
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
Why is it love just seems to pass you by?
Finally, I hope you'll see
They've been taking you for granted and you just can't let that be
Putting trust into
Guys who don't deserve the time of day
If you only knew
He'll take what he can get from you
Then, like the rest, he'll leave you too
It's the same old story
And maybe you'll find someone new
Who'll move in your apartment and can't stand to sleep alone
And you've convinced yourself he's all your own
When he stayed in one place long enough, then it's time to go
I'd hate to be the one to say I told you so
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
Face it now, you're not 16
You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
(Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
(Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)
(repeat and fade out)
Darlene your killing me
Darlene your killing me
Darlene
Gonna tell me everything's ok
War on terror coming down today
Break away from a high speed chase
Front runner watch the race
If you want the truth this ain't the place
She got them bedroom eyes and a beautiful face
Love the way you look at me
Satellite color TV
Standing there in you high heel boots
I love the way that you bend the truth
The old man is slow but the fox is sly
I see you
Standing there
In your favorite dress
I like what you wear
Oh Darlene, Oh Darlene
I give you my ring
In your shaking hands
You give me a sting
With your crazy plans
I knew these two people.
And, um...a boy and a girl,
And they liked to hang together.
They were nice people.
Um...they were the people,
That made you feel good
To be around.
Anyway, the thing was,
One day, they started acting
Kinda funny...kinda weird.
They started being seen,
Exchanging tokens of affection.
And there were rumors that they were,
Engaging in(?).
I think that they'd run out of time.
You know what happened to them?
You know what they do?
What they became?
You know what happened to them?
You know what they do?
What they became?
Darlene, oooh Darlene, oooh Darlene,

I see you walkin with all those guys
It makes me feel so sick
And I don't care what people say
And I don't care what they do
Sweet child I gotta make you mine
You're the only thing that I want: You!
Baby Baby when you walk down the block,
See the people (??)
Woooh! Child! Oh ya drive me wild!

Cause I love Darlene, I gotta love 'er, Yes I do
I've been savin all my money
I've been workin all day long

Then you do what you wanna do, just hear me through

When you gonna realize, how much I love you
Darlene, go in there and pack up all your dreams
I'll have all I'll ever need, if you go with me

Tired of dreaming in this sleepy town, the rest is history

And I want you for my darling, Darlene
So I need you for my darling, Darlene
Where do you go when you think about me?
What do I do when I think about you?
Skyline
Passion
City streets that I adore
Shadows
By me grow
Rent collectors at my door
You got your religion
I got my addictions
We got dirty dishes in the sink
Looking from the window
Kissing in the kitchen
Fall so hard that I don't have to think
Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave
Mindless
Gameshows
Flicking through the multi-screen
Twilight
Time is slow
Fall so hard that I could scream
You got your religion
I got my addictions
Fall so hard that I don't have to think
Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave
All the things that I adore
Ones I've chosen to ignore
Rent collectors at my door
I can't take it anymore
Where do you go when you think about me?
What do I do when I think about you?
You got your religion
I got my addictions
We got dirty dishes in the sink
Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave
Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
