Lockdown Songs - Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen (Cover)

[@pitstop.pen10]

Your such a nice lad entertaining us poor motorbike buddies Rich. Them roads are mighty quiet and the weather is so great. My bike is crying.

[@kyndrydspyryt3867]

One of the best songs of all time, so chilled out and goosebump style. You do a good version Richy boy

[@teasels10]

Richy .. Glad to see you and your family are safe and well. what your doing is awesome .. After every 5 days of my working week, being one of the thousands of HGV1 trucks drivers moving food product up and down the country on nearly empty motorways to feed to the many, its lovely to relax at home on my days off and listen to your music ... Well done ... Keep it going.

[@quentinjackson6015]

Great song and something uplifting to enjoy during these difficult days - Thank you. My wife and I listened to this while discussing where to spend our Easter break - we've narrowed it down to either the kitchen or the greenhouse.......

[@addick675]

Thank you Richy. Making lockdown easier to deal with.

[@ianjames3218]

Well done Richy. This was unexpected lol cos altho love country, my sis took me to see him and was hooked. A great rendition. Cheers for your performances, as you know, they are so well received and give us something to look forward to.

[@markbright7845]

How about a chord sequence list so we can learn these too? Would be really great for those of us who find it difficult to visualise the finger positions or the chords as seen by the player. Cheers. (Guitar newby)

[@pereklund7112]

😂❤️👍 Just had to watch this after Bru-Time

[@jamesturner5921]

👍 the more I hear you sing the more I like you 👍

[@marklloyd4153]

It’s amazing how music affects our emotions and feelings wether guitar rifts or vocals or the lyrics . This is so nice what u r doing . It’s the hi point of my day and probably others . I’ve enjoyed all your music for years now so happily . May I request Bad Angel ? If no that’s ok. Thank u . Goonies lol

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Steady on Jeff👍😂

[@RichyVida]

🤦‍♂️😂

[@SpiroZoren]

Great idea. Look forward to these! How about Johnny Cash's amazing take on the song 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails?

[@markmorgan3208]

I'm loving these @Richy, even if I am missing the VFR content. Do you take requests? I'd love to hear your rendition of Hotel California - to demonstrate my lack of imagination, and to show my age ;) (Western Australia)

[@RichyVida]

I can assure you I’m also missing my VFR adventures, but needs must 👍

[@BulldogGaz]

I just adore that song thank you for sharing this during these hard days of lockdown 👍 have you ever seen the version Hallelujah sung by Father Ray Kelly, makes me cry every time 😂, a classic song might be Country Roads from John Denver, I like to sing that when I'm out on the bike, not that I can really sing 😜

[@RichyVida]

That ones on the way.. will check that other version 👍👍

[@johnwood7306]

Another great song Richy.Stay safe.

[@willpearce1315]

Good work Jeff

[@grahamrawley]

You must have enough video s for a motorcycle bloopers or outtakes series ,? How about it , it would be good to see

[@tattydad]

While we’re in lock down my wife asked me what I’m watching so showed some of your vids think you have a new fan rich lol she said what a talented guy and good looking to . Steady on fella lol keep up the tunes only thing keeping us sane at the moment top bloke 👍

[@classicllyz2789]

[@SB-Kiwi]

[@WoodyWood]

Very well done Richy ever thought of doing this when the plague has gone????????????? Thank you (Country Roads : ) )

[@lynsmith1096]

Good cover Richy.

[@criticalcuda]

Great song , 👍❤️

[@criticalcuda]

Brilliant , love this song 👍

[@buddysinsight9834]

Can you play if tomorrow never comes by Garth Brooks. Ronan Keating sang it too

[@pu11y]

Get these on Spotify if you can!

[@mikewatson361]

How about Proud Mary by Creedance Clearwater? Keep up the work buddy 👍🥃🏍

[@bren106]

The Jeff must have come from Jeff Buckley's recording of this.

[@RichO1701e]

Yup, that makes sense

[@RichyVida]

Exactly 👍

[@johna6968]

Jeff Buckley version is superb

[@bren106]

@@johna6968 Go on youtube and look up K.D Lang performing it for LC at his induction into the Canadian songwriters hall of fame. That puts pretty much all others into the second division, for whatever my opinion is worth of course, because music is subjective.

[@johna6968]

@@bren106 Im still with the Jeff Buckley version of the song and probably always will be. So much meaning for me at the time and god rest his soul. For live versions of classics then Heart's rendition of 'Stairway to heaven' live at the Kennedy Centre is up there.

[@BeTouring_Bulgaria]

nice one mate!

Hi Richy I'm loving what you're doing to keep us occupied in these strange times , is it possible for you to play Mud on my tyres by Brad Paisley a beautiful song

[@RichyVida]

Great song!

[@imaballadeer]

Good work 👏

👏👏👏👏💪👌

[@jimanders9971]

How about covering Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers?

[@RichyVida]

Ooh I’d love to have a go at that. I wouldn’t do something I could do no justice to, though. Thanks for “placing the seed” 👍

[@jimanders9971]

@@RichyVida If you havent seen the video of the 1965 preformance of Unchained Melody done on tv check it out on KZbin. Watch the one with the guy in the pink suit, lol.

'Hi Rich any chance of a tribute. Ain't No Sunshine' singer Bill Withers dies at 81

[@RichyVida]

Oh no?! Will try....

[@gerhardk98]

Rate this much higher than if I performed but not quite K. D. Lang

[@harrypalmer7169]

It's OK doing all these classics RV but when are you going to give us the greatest song of all time, Mah Nà Mah Nà by the Muppets, go on you know you want to.

[@joannewyatt4024]

Gosh I meant Neil Young lol

[@RichyVida]

As bad as me haha

[@georgehatcher8867]

🤣🤣 His brother George played for England in the 66 world cup

[@paulcollins7185]

George Cohen is not the brother of Leonard Cohen. George Cohen, the english 66 world cup player and winner, was Uncle of, Ben Cohen who was in the English rugby side who won the rugby world cup in 2003.

[@RichO1701e]

@@paulcollins7185 it was obviously a joke dude.

Think there’s the crossover of my mistake at the beginning...
