    This guy has a gift of making songs on a stratospheric level. I remember being a kid in Poland and hearing A Song for The Lovers for the first time. His voice was something else. This performance is on another level. Just him and an acoustic guitar. Flawless and sublime.

      Yep, I second that, I have been a Lucky Man ever since I started to listen to his music years ago, and many people still think he's nothing special. I tell you, to me it's not a big deal if anyone thinks any less of him, Richard himself said that some people will think his stuff is great, some think its shit, and he accepts that wholeheartedly. The people will however openly appreciate him as a genius many years from now, albeit falsely in many cases (which is a situation that does not befit him) but at the moment, Lucky are we who could already love his stuff, and fools are they who think he is nothing special just because the mass media isn't supporting him.

    I spend the night
    Yeah looking for my insides in a hotel room
    Waiting for you
    Were gonna make it tonight
    Yeah something in the air tells me the time is right
    So we'd better get it on
    And DJ, play a song for the Lovers, tonight
    Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight
    Don't wanna wait
    Lord I've been waiting all my life but I'm too late again
    I know but I was scared
    Can't you see
    I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
    I ain't Got a Ticket for this ride but I will
    Ooh, play a song for the Lover, tonight
    DJ, play a song for the Lover, tonight
    DJ, play a song for the Lovers, tonight
    Please play a song for the Lovers, tonight
    Can't stop looking back no no
    One more for the lovers
    Oh brother won't you lend a hand
    I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love
    I don't know when this trains gonna stop
    But I'm telling you friend
    I don't want to get up

    I keep coming back to this and read some comments below and agree that sometimes less is more. So long as you have a melody and amazing lyrics that's emotive and engaging, you can captivate any audience. Richard Ashcroft does this. Another lyricist that's superior to many songwriters is Steve Kilbey of The Church. Bless those that have something to sing about.

      Appreciated, and I agree that this is one great performance. Before the boom of internet video sharing, Richard played this one off not to be showed off on MTV or a TV special, but to be enjoyed by people in the quiet of their homes. As he once explained, it doesn't make a difference to him how many people he has in the room, listening. He just does what he does.
