[@seancampbell9689]

You know what's incredible? he wrote this song in 2001 for the people of 2020, because his step-dad told him something big was gonna be happening in 2020 that would have people questioning their beliefs. Mad shit like

[@valentinag7481]

My favourite Richard's solo tune by far. I even got the single

[@Phinxy11]

I remember arriving in interlaken switzerland on a cold winter night with my brother. We had gone over there looking for work with hardly any money to our names..after checking into our hotel really late. We went out to find some food but everything was closed. We knocked on the door of a restaurant because the light was still on and a lady came to the door. She said it was closed and that her family was eating but she could offer us a bowl of pasta and a table in the corner. She brought over a big jug of beer and said the pasta was on its way. As she turned around, check the meaning came on over the radio. Our favourite artist. It was a perfect moment that. I'll never forget it. Incredible arist richard.

[@rourkestar1]

Once upon a time back before when I lived in South Korea, we met Oasis back stage before the broke up- 2008. I told Noel then - you have the best voice in Rock n Roll. He did not disagree. We will always want to hear more King Richard. Best voice. EVER. No matter what, keep sangin. Best wishes from Canada.

[@sallyfletcher8874]

I've just been watching a Liam Gallagher interview, n he was praising Richard. I think Richard is way to deep n intelligent to appeal to the masses. His songwriting is Dylanesque.Don't get me wrong, I like Oasis but Richard is amazing 👏

[@harrytrent13]

What a top performance of a top song

[@mariagraziagiuliani3008]

Trovare rifugio in uno spazio che nn sia tangibile nè raggiungibile.....musica tu esprimi e la tua mi emoziona a questo livello. Grazie Richard di esserci

[@DenisVakhtin]

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 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 Check the meaning (The human condition) Check the feeling (The human condition) Guess it's life, doing it's thing Making you cry, making you think Yeah life, dealing it's hand Making you cry and you don't understand Life, doing it's thing Making you cry now, making you think of Pain, doing it's thing Making you cry yeah, making you sing Don't say it, don't say it's too late Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late, it's never too late) Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late) Don't, don't say it's too late The human condition, the big decisions The human condition, the big decisions I'm like a fish with legs, I fell from the tree I made a rocket (check the meaning), I made a wheel I made a rocket (check the feeling), I swam the ocean (check the meaning) I saw the moon (say a prayer), I seen the universe (and beyond) I see you (check the feeling), I see me (check the meaning) That's my reality And while the city sleeps we go walking It's a beautiful world And when the city sleeps we go walking We find a hole in the sky and then we start talking And then we say "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ Buy us some time, buy us some time" Hear what I'm saying Can you hear what I'm saying? Can you hear what I'm saying? Can you hear what I'm saying? It's gonna be alright
