So Nik is a spy who breaks into a house, but the Riddler sneaks up on him and pushes him down a trap door. Inside, it's a surreal Escape Room where he deals with the Riddler, Egghead, Baby Doll, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. The Escape Room is shaped like a question mark, and the dot contains an old man near a hole which is the way out.

I’ve been searching for this song since they played it during a fashion show I was in-circa 1985. I heard it once, and it stuck with me all these years. I’ve tried humming it into music search apps, and was beginning to wonder if I’d dreamt the whole thing. I finally tried SoundHound tonight and FOUND IT!!! I’m soooo happy to have this song!!!

That’s exactly the case about this song, when you don’t listen to the lyrics but music and singer’s voice harmony and just let go your feelings leading you to an amazing incredible and magic mood. Very good effect guaranteed if you don’t understand English at all ;)
I heard this song when I was a small child circa 2008, and wasn't ever able to find it again until last night. Still just as good and it's now nostalgic for me even though it's twenty years before my time - music video is perfect too!

Im 26, knew this song for more than 5 years now, such a classic, and I love how hes aged so well and still produces nice songs (although admittedly, I havent heard most of them). This and 'Wouldn't it be good" are my favourites, but im sure its just about everyones favourite forthose that have heard him at least once.
I know Nik Kershaw said this song has no meaning but the parallels to American consumerism, returning to a primitive life-style and the wars over oil are too much to ignore.

So here is the thing . Nik Kershaw himself said in an interview that this song it's just random nonsense lyrics which wrote just in order to help him find the tune and that he preferred to let these in order to play with people minds and make them trying to solve the riddle .

The one is that actually is a nonsense song or the second opinion that has meanings about devil or magic and Nik doesn't want to reveal or admit . I think that the possibility of the nonsense is the favorite here but if there is a chance to be about something else i think that as Elisa said here in comments maybe it's about Devil who comes down to earth and tries to steal a girl who fell in love and go together to hell .The Devil wants to continue be nice with her (I only know what to discuss of for anything but light). But because he is the devil he also have to continue his job (Time to carry on and try for sins and false alarms ) . Τhe girl loves him back because she can she only the good side of him because he is very nice to her but the devil even if she loves her badly and he love her back too he tries to be honest by telling her that he is not as good as she thinks and she sees him so nice and gentle because she is madly in love ( it's not me you see, pieces of Valentine ) . In the refrain i think Nik tries to present the battle between Heaven and Hell and the choice between God or Devil . (Near a tree by a river, there's a hole in the ground Where an old man of Aran goes around and around ) This might talks about the choice the girls have to do , she has to choose between the tree(heaven) or the hole (hell) . The old man of Aran (God) is the protector of the Tree and the Devil the protector of the hole . Then says that the girl has to make a final decision .Hell or Heaven and that God will not give any pressure to her to decide (For a strange kind of fashion, there's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you) .

Isn't it the absolute BEST when that happens?

My favorite song of all time. Never get sick of it. Thank you Nik Kershaw for all that you do and have done.
One my most favourite Nik Kershaw songs as well, it’s really great to listen to. 😀😀
Agree
This song pops into my head at the most random moments all the time. Such a great song!
He is a wonder.❤
its a pretty excellent song with a very child-like innocence. One of my faves too. Reminds me of Alphaville's "Middle of the Riddle".
I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
Time to carry on and try
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Oh, for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you
It's not me you see
Pieces of valentine
And just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise men's child
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
No he'll never, never fight over you

These Bible verses explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 21:4-6) 🙂

@@Romans10910Love You posted this comment like 10 times! Just STOP! It’s getting annoying. And you just brought religious views into this for no reason.
@@nickavenoso7851 Thank you. This song is so lovely and doesn't need to be debased by religious dogma. It's about beauty that can't be figured out--just accepted.

FUCK this song is aural meth. One hit and your listening to it for the rest of your fuckin' DAYS. Put on last week and still looking up on the regular. Fuck me.
First time eh, zoomers?
...80's era youtube poop.
The old man of “Aran”? Could he have a connection to Samus Aran? Well, it looks like Samus appears from in the whole at the end of the video!!!
This song sucks. His other songs were good like 'wouldn't it be good'.

1000s of gods, your many times rewritten, many versions "bible" lost its true meaning over centuries. You believe your god is real and all the others fake! Arrogant. NO ONE has ever proven any gods exist. It's all lies.
@@deanc.5984 Can you prove God doesn't exist? ARROGANT of you to declare He doesn't. To original poster, baptism in water is required for forgiveness of sins.

Uh? What has to do with this song????
@@Spaceshewarrior That is The Riddle ... get it?
So here is the thing . Nik Kershaw himself said in an interview that this song it's just random nonsense lyrics which wrote just in order to help him find the tune and that he preferred to let these in order to play with people minds and make them trying to solve the riddle . But i don't know if its an honest answer . So i think here he have to possible answers . The one is that actually is a nonsense song or the second opinion that has meanings about devil or magic and Nik doesn't want to reveal or admit . I think that the possibility of the nonsense is the favorite here but if there is a chance to be about something else i think that as Elisa said here in comments maybe it's about Devil who comes down to earth and tries to steal a girl who fell in love and go together to hell .The Devil wants to continue be nice with her (I only know what to discuss of for anything but light). But because he is the devil he also have to continue his job (Time to carry on and try for sins and false alarms ) . Τhe girl loves him back because she can she only the good side of him because he is very nice to her but the devil even if she loves her badly and he love her back too he tries to be honest by telling her that he is not as good as she thinks and she sees him so nice and gentle because she is madly in love ( it's not me you see, pieces of Valentine ) . In the refrain i think Nik tries to present the battle between Heaven and Hell and the choice between God or Devil . (Near a tree by a river, there's a hole in the ground Where an old man of Aran goes around and around ) This might talks about the choice the girls have to do , she has to choose between the tree(heaven) or the hole (hell) . The old man of Aran (God) is the protector of the Tree and the Devil the protector of the hole . Then says that the girl has to make a final decision .Hell or Heaven and that God will not give any pressure to her to decide (For a strange kind of fashion, there's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you) .
But guys as i said in my opinion is just that is a nonsense song like Nik Kershaw said . I think are just lyrics in order to discover the tune . And it was really crappy thing to do .
