  • @ 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’.

  • 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

  • Never thought 'ROB HALFORD'...of 'JUDAS PRIEST' Was in the 'SWINGLE SINGERS'...Thats him at the back surely..!!!!! Sorry joking aside,...that is a 'GREAT' version of 'RIVERMAN'...THANK,s for the post...Loved it!!!!!!!

  • @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
