absolutely amazing cover.

this is such a beautiful cover of an incredible song.
-
this is a good version...
listen to Paul Weller if you want to hear an absolutely butchered version.

Wow I'm in love

I listen to this each night before I go to sleep. The intelligence and beauty expressed embraces the unspeakable. Soothing, humane and together; how I like to close on the day.

this is maybe the most phenomenal a cappella arrangement i've ever seen

@broadbend some people just cant see the beauty of diffferent arrangements of songs..this is amazing.

Who would have thought that the best river man cover would be done without the use of instruments? Just with the heavenly body itself? I know my way around drake, and i got to say this was pretty solid. Very well performed. Good looking artists too ;) thanks.

i love that fine piece of music - especially the 5/4 rhythm and the different harmony
@ bitesize65 - Bit strong init? Seeing as Nick is no longer with us it seems a shame that you feel no one else can touch his songs. Covers are always a subjective topic but I for one would rather see his music live on, kept alive by others, ultimately leading people back to the original. Each to their own tho’.
