ABSOLUTELY IN THE POCKET. Great feel. Great instrumental chops. Soulful voice. This guy's got it all. Raj, if you're taking any requests,,, please, more funk grooves like this.
Excellent work. being a Beatle's purist and snob (late period particularly) I can say you are one of the few I've ever seen who can do very decent Beatles. Great work, thank you for this. My 13 year old piano playing son found it for me. Sweeter still.
How can he be like « 🤷 » at the end 😂! That’s the best thing I ever heard 😮. I come back here where I need some groove, such a wonderful vibe… Love frome France 🇫🇷 C’est magnifique Rai Nom-imprononçable !
This guy is amazing! I feel so fortunate to recently have had the privilege to see Thirsty Merc belt out a version of Superstition like no other. Rocked my world! Stevie would be so proud!!
For someone to show you the way to cover a beautiful Beatles tribute. So wonderful to see RAi place so much effort into this song. Love you mate. Summer time 🌟 classic.
AYYYYY THAT DROP AT 1:59 hahaha you're nuts man also, the way the whole vibe just starts picking up starting from that lick at 2:55 is great . this performance is a VIBE
Hi Rai. You are gangster mate. I remember a Thirsty Merc gig at mooloolaba surf club maybe 17 or more years ago and the at boondal supporting the Chillies. You are one of my go toos for the heavyweight musos that just have it. Your in the pocket but you can stretch. A pleasure to watch and listen to your music.
Man, what feeling! You, Rai, are one soulful, hairy package of groove. I tripped upon this video. I'm now going to see what else I can find of yours. You got a new fan.
"The two halves of you are completely interconnected by silk notation and soul." This came to me a few moments ago as I watched and was inspired your latest blues video. As a result I give it to you. I feel it fits here very much as well.
This is such a great interpretation of Come Together !!! I can really feel the groove of this song, plus the piano playing and singing is also quite interesting as well. Job Well Done :D
I'm kind of in the middle of a wrist and forearm injury. Somedays it feels better than others but I'm going to PT, and I'm recovering. It's been really discouraging to me me because I haven't been able to really play or practice like I could a month or two ago. You inspire me to build my strength back and play again better than I ever have before.
Video is 11 yrs old, and still one of the funkiest things on the internet
Yes sir
Rai is still one of the most understated musicians .
Massive talent .A true artist !!!
he still is ...
Everything he touches or plays is GOLD!!
Who understates him?
True Musicianship. No fancy bells n whistles, just a guy in a bedroom letting his playing do the talkin. An inspiration for all aspiring musicians.
is this real life? how is this guy not a superstar
he's the singer of thirsty merc! superstar status achieved
yea i know but thirsty merc never was really big outside australia - even now his solo act sunrai, based in LA, is very fringe ... i just hope he makes it big in usa - check out his new album Go Nuts
Him and terence shider. Mystifying how both arent super famous
Because this world glorifies, real shits.
Mate because he posted his songs in the wrong era. He is so natural and so creative. One of the best talents I have come across.
Is there a legit reason this doesn’t have 200 million views? 🤔
I didn’t think so. 🤘

Same last name. Huh! Both from Aus too!
@@mozm4664 You wouldn't believe it.
My wife has the same last name as well!!!
Been watching this for 10 years 🔥
Don't even understand why this guy isn't a Superstar? This is real music and real musician! Wow! No way....
Without a doubt the best cover of this song I've heard, and I'm a big Beatles fan. You're a master Rai.
I don't like the Beatles but I love this cover!
I can't stop listening to this tune, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 is like ten. Lol love that. Bro.
I can't get past this song, been listening to it at least once a day for a month. Cool as hell.
:) i'll be uploading new music to my other youtube channel /iamsunrai.
ABSOLUTELY IN THE POCKET. Great feel. Great instrumental chops. Soulful voice. This guy's got it all. Raj, if you're taking any requests,,, please, more funk grooves like this.
Rai.. you have to be the coolest dude in the southern hemisphere, move north and take over the world man.......
Excellent work. being a Beatle's purist and snob (late period particularly) I can say you are one of the few I've ever seen who can do very decent Beatles. Great work, thank you for this. My 13 year old piano playing son found it for me. Sweeter still.
This is beyond words incredible.
This is incredible. He's got it all! he's so into this music.
How can this have such low views. He’s an absolute MASTER and carves this up on every level 🤍
How can he be like « 🤷 » at the end 😂! That’s the best thing I ever heard 😮. I come back here where I need some groove, such a wonderful vibe… Love frome France 🇫🇷 C’est magnifique Rai Nom-imprononçable !
