Richie Haven’s voice is phenominal, just beautiful. This song really touches the soul. Can’t believe I had never heard this before the movie Collateral. Amazing song and performance.
I don’t know what this film is repeatedly mentioned but I’m glad you found this track bud, it’s a real life changer man, you won’t ever skip this track now coming to check this message you will replay it it’s so great!
I just watched a documentary called "Living With Leopards" on Netflix. This song came on at the end. Beautiful song. Ritchie Havens is singing. How could it be anything else? God bless you, Ritchie. Rest In Peace....
Me too, guys. Loved the documentary. It was quite sad how animals live and depart from each other. But this song at the end had me mesmerized with that beautiful sunset scene so I shazamed it and now listening to everything Groove armada and this guy do
this used to be my dad’s favorite song he passed away a couple years ago all I remember hearing this is when he would sit me on his lap and we would just sing this song :) how I wish I could turn back the hands of time…😕
I am so very sorry, He had a great ear for music no doubt. What a sweet memory for you in his tragic loss. If possible please watch the first few minutes of Collateral to see how profound your Dad's song is. Thoughts
I’m so sorry I absolutely understand your pain I lost my dad 14 years ago. I also wish I could turn back the hands of time as well. Personally if that didn’t work I wish I had a Time Machine to bring him to the present or even visit him.
How old are you now yo? It’s tough man, time is that one thing once gone, spent, wasted, whatever, it can’t be replaced like money, possessions, just memories now yo, and whether you are aware of it now but he’s with your ancestors and if you think I’m talking shit, just shut up and listen (sorry, not meant aggressively), but listen to the winds and remember this message from some random stranger from Aus yo… 🖤✌🏽☺️
You do realize that there are other videos posted right here on RUclips of this sing right? I mean did you guys think 80k was it? There are hundreds of videos posted of this song.
Groove Armada are the most genre diverse band I know of, they managed to get some of the most talented guest vocalists on earth to feature on their records. I was lucky enough to be front row for an amazing live performance at Rockness festival in 2007, it was simply perfect. Love them.
"We can't turn back the hands of time", true, but whenever we listen to this beyond-classic masterpiece, we sure can slow them down some. Unbelievable song. This song seems like it must be so much older than it is ... real nostalgia, but it is 'new'. And it is impossible to listen to it just once. Thank you, Groove ... and RIP Richie Havens.
@@jonothandoeserYeah the artist formerly known as lucifer. Real shame his pride dislodged him and his position as worship leader forever. Great example huh ...
I saw Richie Havens the year before he died in Anchorage Alaska. What a soulful peaceful experience. I did not know that he had sang with this band. I just heard this song on Las Vegas - tv show and looked it up because I knew that voice. What a fabulous song. I also saw Richie Havens in 1980 in Huntington West Virginia. I fell in love with him then. Singing the Beatles song here comes the Sun
He did Freedom with so much passion, the wind is still carrying it aloft somewhere today! From an NPR article in 2004, Santana was really, really late - "By that time, Havens had been onstage almost three hours - and still they needed more. "And I thought, 'Gosh, what am I going to do?'" Then he belted out "Freedom," and his electric ad-lib performance set the tone for the next three days. "The word 'freedom' came out of my mouth because this was our real particular freedom," he tells Cox. "We'd finally made it to above ground."
I saw Richie live for the first time in 1974,Richmond VA and full concert at the Birchmere in 2007. Also caught him a few times in Taos , NM when he would do impromptu appearances for friends there in the summer. He always gave good performances and was always high...like most of the people who were there to watch him. Very interesting guitarist and when he spoke it sounded like he was reading poetry...which in a way he was...speaking poetry that is. Today's world could use another Richie Havens......if we just turn back the hands of time......
I first heard the intro to this on the TOP GEAR USA SPECIAL (series 9 i think) As the Florida sun is setting, Jezza says how cool it is to bedriving, with his mates....this fades in and I just had to know who it was. It has been a favourite ever since. Thanks Groove Armada and thanks Jezza / Top Gear.
What a Song, what a Musician Richie was... absolutely amazing... heard this song the first time in Collateral where Jamie Fox and Tom Cruise are killin it... superb music, superb movie... R.i.P. Richie
The vibe of this piece sets me back so far I feel myself sinking through my chair. Haven's voice is superb, setting the tone and feel of the song while absolutely owning it.
Honoured to have seen him a few times. Last time was at Ronnie Scotts. Richie was a peace maker, a beautiful soul and it shined out of him. His voice is incredible. Listen to what you going to do about me if you havent dont already that is. Gone like so many, many talented men and women. Never to be forgotten.
Just heard this in an old rerun of "Cold Case". How have I not heard this song in the last 17 years? How have I not realized how great Richie Havens was until now? I must be living a sheltered life...gotta open my eyes and pay more attention.
Me too. I followed collateral here too. I recognised the song but couldn't remember who by or what i was called, but all over it now yay!!! Just needed a wee refresher lol.
Even though I am 65 years old, recently this year 2024 I saw the movie Collateral for the first time and "discovered" this beautiful song Hands of Time. Since that, I can't stop listening to it.
What a man he was. Legend. His opening at Woodstock was incredible considering he had to play for so long unexpectedly. A true musician and a huge loss to the industry. RIP
actually he ,only‘ played around 50 minutes. but he later recalled it wrong that he played several hours. doesn‘t take anything away from the legend he was
Wish I could have seen #GrooveArmada live - Wish #RichieHavens was still in this world with us; to me, he always shined with such energy, love that man
I first heard this song 20 years ago when i watched Collateral in a movie theater, what a great song and movie! I still have Collateral till this day, at least 3 or 4 times per year
I love you so much Thuli Morake. Well done Jimmy for this beautiful rendition to the song. Ahhhhh. The base gautier is everything in the mix, props given.
I followed Collateral here, what a great song.

Finally someone who is actually using the expression properly. Cheers!
2024 and this tune is still massive. 😊
This performance by Richie Ravens may be the most soulful performance you will ever see. Truly an artistic masterpiece.
Maybe take a look at his Woodstock performance back in 66.
What a voice .and style .a class act . R.i.p. Ritchie
Respect man👍

Amazing performance too and he and his guys had to stay on far longer than planned. Have it on DVD and its incredible
You gotta check out his performance @northslope100

Awesome presence, I saw in the poring rain Glastonbury, he touched my soul so much many moons ago.
Groove Armada should make more music like this
Doubly agreed, dear Lina-of-Shah.
Sure.

Their roots are deep/prog house/trance, but they've obviously showed their versatility with collars like this.
Who dare dislike this song????
Punch 👍🏽 for 2019

My auntie plays this every day, I love it
2020, now.....

Thank You Cold Case For Bringing Me Here And Allowing Me To Hear Such A Beautiful Song 😍🥰💜
I’m late to the party, but I love this.
Just finished watching Cold Case on Roku and heard this beautiful song at the end. I'm hooked. What a voice and song 🎵
Playing at the end of Season 1 episode 2 of Las Vegas What Happes In Vegas Stays In Vegas.
At least have the Decency to include Ritchie Havens in the Title! :(
true,!!!
word!

WTF
He was performing as part of the group.
One of the best singers ever. Fits like a glove for this GA song.
Superb song. Such an instant classic vibe in Collateral. Immense voice.

This song woke me up from a nap and made me smile.
I then stated: Boy, that's a nice song.
this comment made me smile also
Found this in the 90s bin big part of the soundtrack to my life thank you groove armarda
After two decades I finally got the thought in my head to look up this song.
Not only a fantastic voice ,but abrilliant bunch of musicians.
Miss you Richie.
This is a beautiful song and I really love to listen to him. 1969 when he sang Freedom I was hooked on his voice. 🥰
Me too!! Collateral it was when first hearing this song. Gave me the bumps...
I played this song along with a slideshow at my best friends funeral. she was only 24 when cancer ended her life.
I'm so sorry...sending prayer's your way...
😢
Sorry to hear about your friend. Best wishes and vibes to you and your friend wherever she is.

This song is soul soothing.

A very apt term, dear Greatjackcurfor ... so very 'soul soothing' indeed in many countries around the world.
