Richard Ashcroft - Check The Meaning

When I'm low, and I'm weak, and I'm lost
I don't know who I can trust
Paranoia, the destroyer, comes knocking on my door
You know the pain drifts to days, turns to nights
But it slowly will subside
And when it does, I take a step, I take a breath
And wonder what I'll find

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love

(The human condition)
(The human condition)

Too much blood, too much hate, turn off the set
There's got to be something more
When Mohammed, Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ
Are knocking down my door
I'm agnostic getting God, but man
She takes a female form
There's no time, no space, no law
We're out here on our own

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love

Nice work Brad! Amazing song - a shame Ashcroft never did it more often in his solo sets. Great cover and brilliant voice.

[bradintampa]

Thanks so much mate!  I agree, one of his best solo tunes in my opinion. Cheers, Bradly

[damianbriscoe]

[bradintampa]

HaHa..thanks my friend! Just some American attitude :-) Cheers, Bradly

I've watched this vid already quite a few times, and it's still blowing me away, great voice and much passion. Just incredible. You're really gifted. Keep on going! Thanks a lot for the chords, btw.

Very well done!!! You do Richard Ashcroft some nice justice!!! Good voice!

[lespaulfanofsparta]

Wow, your version just makes me want to quit trying. If I closed my eyes I would not know this is not Richard. The fact that you can belt it out with that tone and not overblow it is incredible. This song sounds simple, it is not, it's a bit like juggling and you make it effortless. Beyond well done.
