Richard Ashcroft - check the meaning acoustic performance

Richard Ashcroft played some songs acoustically in 2006 for AOL. This was one of his AOL sessions.

[@chrismoose64]

Makes the Gallagher sisters look like amateurs

[@ic4975]

This song transcends our souls. That's pure art.

[@tommytyrrell3810]

Poetry, elegance, passion...legend.

[@thegoodsgone1965]

It pisses me off that Ashcroft is so underlooked. Apparently Ed Sheeran is amazing.... Not in my fucking books.

[@daisybaker8528]

Same I’m only 16 and he makes me think so deeply of life living on a council estate apart from my drug addict mum. Hating kids my age he is my only mental cure Yanno haha 🐸

[@thegoodsgone1965]

@@daisybaker8528Firstly I wish you happiness and success in life, and yes I know what you mean - his music is real and has healing powers for sure, and I've never been able to relate to people my own age either.

[@TusharPatel-ke3kb]

In my really low moments i listen to this. Richard Ashcroft is an artist in the truest sense. Finest songwriter of his generation.

[@sbslipknot1]

Can't believe this is from 2006, his music still moves me .. Richard Ashcroft is pure quality.

2021… and it hits harder than ever. This planet is so lucky to have this man

[@sonsofthetribe]

He says hes agnostic this performance says otherwise.

[@martinbrennan8643]

Better than any Gallagher

[@gazthomson86]

The person who disliked this video is an absolute cretin.

[@redman9pablo]

Such a powerful song.

[@justinw2232]

One of his best. iMO

[@Nice1m8ty]

Yes I can "hear what your singing", I feel ya. Lifelong fan.

[@nicksterholler]

The most real performance of check the meaning.

[@juliahalligan3023]

Can't believe I got my Richard Ashcroft tickets on Pre-sale order for O2 Brixton Academy on 1st July. And he's been nominated for Best Male in NME Music awards. Fabulous isn't it.

[@urbanbadger7]

This man has soul. genius.

[@davemusic851]

yes

[@marybradley4227]

No effort needed its already there bliss 😊

[@van-gabondramblinrose6398]

One of my all time favourite songs and singers. Fills me with wonder and emotion, such a sweeping soundscape of a song. "I'm agnostic in God, but man, she takes a female form." Simple genius!

[@andrewjohnston5428]

This song sounds like it's about addiction recovery

[@StevieMc1971]

Andrew Johnston Amen 🙏🏻

[@reillywalker195]

It probably is at least in part.

[@jamiesturrock8355]

It's a story about Life, Meaning, and religion and how after knowing all this he has concluded that his women has released him from the burden of thinking about the world in its complexities and is taking Jesus scripture of Love. Simple living

[@hamidmusik7691]

I think...The drugs worked fantastically...

[@gavinlev22]

Pure Class!!

[@samanderson9198]

[@Erin-uz2gf]

Beautiful, moving performance of a fantastic song. I can't get enough of the album version though with the strings and the fullness of it all together coming together so perfectly.

[@paulamcinally6540]

Who needs a psychiatrist when you have Richard

[@juliahalligan3023]

Can't believe Richard Ashcroft hasn't been nominated in Best Male category in the Brit Awards.

[@chrisayres8460]

Them fools.dont get it. They care about ed sheera and adele. None of who can get anywhere near this man

[@reillywalker195]

He doesn't have the sex appeal of many pop artists nor the rock-and-roll attitude of the Gallaghers. He's a humble, happily married man exploring the meaning of life and overcoming his own struggles.

[@sallyfletcher8874]

@@reillywalker195 omg for me, He has loads of sex appeal!! 😍

[@graziaguerrini6375]

@@reillywalker195 Personally,I found young Ashcroft very attractive , maybe not objectively good looking , but very charismatic. Richard should not wear those silly sunglasses all the time and show his marvellous , hypnotic blue eyes, In any case people should be more interested in his abilities as a singer , songwriter rather than be conditioned by his looks. And this is true for every music artist ( see C. T. Ward , a fantastic, but extremely underrated songwriter/ singer) Ashcroft is interested in living the life of a rockstar, or superstar, change wife or partner every 5 years: he loves his family, his music and is constantly searching for spirituality and the meaning of life. I don’t think he’d change his life for any of his colleagues ‘ life , or be an empathic Ed Sheeran. He wants to be himself and nobody else.
