    The fact that there is an official upload of a high-effort music vid of a hit 80s song that's over a decade old with less than 100k views makes me feel like I've stumbled on a seam in reality

    This song is super good, I don't get why it doesn't have hundreds of thousands of likes, or at least a million.

    One of my favorite songs of all time, hands down. When I first heard this, I knew right away Nik really knows his stuff about music theory and composition. Such unique cords and rhythms here. Every time I listen, I pick out new things. Plus, absolute genius to write gibberish lyrics on a time crunch and call it a riddle. Nik is such a talented artist and deserves so much more recognition. Huge fan!

    One of my favorite songs of my childhood growing up in the 80s.

    Such a weird and wonderful video--and a great, great song (and record album, one of my faves from my teens). So good!

    Gosh - I haven’t listened to this song since I was a teenager but immediately I’m reminded it was one of my favourites - clearly I remember all the words from playing and singing it over and over.

    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 mens 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
    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

    I can't believe the version of the music video uploaded by the actual creator only has 31K views as of writing this. Criminal.

    the music video really helps out the song. gives it a nice sense of mystery, which goes along with the nonsense lyrics!

    80s music hits different. I didn't even know this was the original. I knew this song's remix before I knew about the original. Not gonna lie. Original is best version

    This song reminds me of the original Star Wars trilogy maybe it’s because he sounds like a young mark hamill of the time! Great song never the less
