Nik Kershaw - The Riddle (Cover)

My recreation of “The Riddle” by Nik Kershaw from the 1984 album “The Riddle”. It reached #3 on the UK Charts and was a hit around most of the world. While the title creates some mystery, there is no single answer to the riddle. But the lyrics are very rich with imagery and create a really great atmosphere.

Hi. Can see you put a lot of love and effort into this one - one of my favorite songs ever. Loved it!!

Thanks for recognizing that. It was definitely a labor of love. :)

I think the 'old man of Aron' is a lighthouse in Ireland.

[@iarecharmed]

That certainly makes sense with the next line "And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night."

[@BindTortureKill]

Awesome cover man! One very very underrated composition and all time favorite of mine.

[@iarecharmed]

Thank you! I couldn't agree more - very underrated and sophisticated song.

Love it 😍 Do you have the instrumental track what you use ? Thanks

[@iarecharmed]

Hi, thanks for listening. I recorded/programmed/played the whole thing into Apple Logic. Not sure I can provide the instrumental track separately without getting a license from the publishers. UA-cam takes care of all that on these videos with their ContentID.
