nik kershaw - the riddle

[contortionist104]

Took me years to find out then name of this song <3 Used to listen to it when I was 8

[Thunderchild2001]

I spent 4 YEARS tryin' to find out this song!

[agon29]

Listening this in 2011 ! <3

[Twiggyay]

When i was very young (around 5-6) my dad used to play all these songs and at twelve i would ask him about the names of a lot of these songs and he wouldn't recognize my vague description.

I've found a lot of these songs by searching a very short line of lyrics.

I found this by searching hole in the ground, round and round. amazing.

[hagisays]

@Twiggyay i searched there's a hole in the ground

[StrawberryGuy86]

Say, didn't Nik Kershaw also made another song called "Wouldn't it be Good" back in the 80's? I've got the 98 remix on my computer, just because I like it better.

[jongaztelugatxe]

search in youtube "the riddle gautxori"

its a good remix :D

[vincriess]

Searching for a long time for this song!

Far better than the Gigi version!

[NIGIRIYA96]

GOOD JOB !

[SabretoothSnowMan]

For some strange kind of fashion ther is a 'wong' and a right.

[NurseRozetta95]

Elska dinna sangen :)

[muntc71]

nice song

[Sj2492]

@schnuffelyugi: it really isn't but d'agostino's version is perfect for partying or dancing, while kershaw's song is nice for daydreaming...if you know what i mean ;-)

[Skebla123]

2:14 - is that Prague? :)

[TY1979KA]

yes it is

[probss]

czech and you don't recognize? :P ;)

[Skebla123]

[JO9450]

Excelent.

[Conqueronline4life]

Classic. Been looking for it a long long time.. It's so underrated yet one of the most epic songs ever. :D

[katyktk8y]

@Conqueronline4life Oh my GOODNESS so have I. I spent months. Wow, here we are.

[teamcc123456tt]

[marcluc1988]

When I clicked on this video, I thought, "Oh no! Not someone showing a slide show with the sound track playing!" but it was actually very clever. I like the fact that you 'sneaked in' a photo of yourself a few times.

5 stars!

[markyh2]

Top man = Clever!

[OverwatchUA]

Excellent video!

[strrang380]

Near a tree by a river

Is a hole in the ground

Where an old man of Aron

Goes around and around

And his mind is a beacon

In the veil of the night

For a strange kind of fashion

Is a wrong and a right

[strrang380]

But he'll never never fight over you

[BumbleBee19811]

@strrang380 it's Aran, not Aron ;)

[strrang380]

Ye ;p srry ^^ Missclick i guess

[Ralphiriusgr8]

Isn't it 'iron'? I always thought it was iron XD

[BumbleBee19811]

Nope it's Aran;)

[markyh2]

Cracking!

[solidsnake3man]

an old man of Aran!!

So, do you got the solution to that riddle?

[ChrisGoldDesigns]

There is no solution to this Riddle. It is simply a song Kershaw put together

[Tanoro]

The solution to the riddle is that is has no solution. Kershaw was actually unable to write decent lyrics for this song and just used his "test lyrics" which have no meaning at all. ^^

[Ralphiriusgr8]

... Oh man, that one comment probably saved me of YEARS of useless thinking XD

[ViliusImpaler2]

@strrang380

I like this version much more, because here are not this stupid beats wich are always in cover songs-__-

[pendalf10]

[Bonyi89]

Gigi D'Agostino use Nik kershaw's voice on the remix...

[metalicpearl]

ARE YOU STUPID?

Gigi D'Agostino IS A DJ!! he mixes songs for crying out loud!

[my22car]

gigi d'agostino is a good singer ... but this song is for NIK KERSHAW ...

[blubbertwo]

LOL xDDDDDDD

Johjata thats quite ......

funny ^.^

i cant stop laughing

[TheJohtaja]

Your smiley does not hide the fact that you're ignorant and stupid. Go die quietly in a corner.

[dinneh]

It's Arran. Azerbaijan, at the time this song was recorded, was the world's leading exporter of oil. That's essentially what this song is about: war, conflict and strife over oil ("seasons of gasoline and gold, anyone?"). It's a shame that Nik is under obligation to stay quiet about that. But it's pretty evident.

Search up "Arran Azerbaijan" on Google if you're really curious.

[3L3ctroBiNaRy]

wow man tnx for explaining me th emeaning of this song! it's kinda sad that people fight over oil and gasoline

[hellohaloo1]

love the ending :D

[Dragon5258]

最高！懐かしいぜ

[filosfoic]

I love this song :P

[draagonfliir]

you mean the part where it says "an old man of iron goes around"? somewhere I read that the artist spent too much time tinkering with the music and not enough time thinking up good lyrics, so these 'practice' lyrics were the ones that stuck :P

[JayfuzOMarley]

i thought it was Aaron...theres an island in scotland called Aaron i think

[gusfromholland]

a great song, it's nice and cool!

[Virgowoman3]

love this song!!!
