    The fact that he could sing a harmony that logically does not make any sense while also playing a different guitar progression that is also insane at the same time without exploding is incredible. This song is crazy, in the best possible way. All of that INSANITY going on during the bridge??????? I can’t deal with it. Absolute banger still dragging pretty much every pop song composed ever since through the goddamn mud.

      The only irrational part (maybe) is the harmonic snippet in the verse that's off.
      He doesn't need to sing it, just follow and not lose his line - also not easy though. :-)
      The bridge is harmonically explainable, nothing weird about it.
      Way more complex than what you'd expect in a pop song, that's for sure.
      And just so, so beautiful!

    The lyrics turned out to be complete gibberish.
    Apparently he hadn't written the lyrics for the song before he started recording.
    So he recorded some random phrases as a basis for the tracks.
    They later recorded some real lyrics. But decided they kind of liked the gibberish.
    So they went with the gibberish and named the song The Riddle. To make people think there was some sort of meaning to the song.
    Fricken Genius.
    Also Nik Kershaw's gibberish is fricken awesome!

    Why NIK KERSHAW is the MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST EVER
    Wrote the no1 song "The One & Only" which Chesney Hawkes recorded
    Wrote "Old Friend" for Elton John for Elton & Him to Sing.
    Nik also, played Guitar on Elton's "Nikita" & "Act Of War"
    Wrote "I Wanna Change The Score" for Tony Banks's Album (he sung on)
    Wrote "Dangerous" for James Blunt
    Appeared on Vocals for Steve Hackett 'GENESIS' Revisited Tour SONG: "The Lamia"
    Attracted admirers like Elton himself who described Kershaw as "The Greatest Songwriter of A Generation"
    Miles Davis (The Jazz King) Was heavily into Nik's music and was routining one of Nik's songs for a Live show before he Died.
    Eric Clapton & Jimmy Page were fond fans & attended his Gigs at Hammersmith Odeon in 1984
    Eric also apparently recorded a version of 'Wide Boy' which has not seen the light of day
    He wrote "He's Got A Hold Of Me" which Bonnie Tyler recorded
    but yeah, the list goes on... he's written for so many artists lol
    definitely one of the best ever songwriters

Elton John said he was the greatest songwriter of a generation, which is no surprise. I've seen Nik play Drums and it's sooooo good. His guitar playing on Lonely Robot's album song: "Humans Being" is to die for. The album ranked higher than Pink Floyd's Endless River, If I remember in the prog charts. The man can do anything. Extremely underrated.

      I think you need to be a musician, unlike me, to really appreciate just how clever this song is. A professional piano player I know loves it and says it has hints of medieval composition in it. I love the 12 bar drum intro, Mark Price did well not to miscount under such tremendous pressure. This performance to me is the equal to George Michael's 'Somebody to love' seven years later.

    Nik and his band were really good at Live Aid and he's still a wonderful musician and a top songwriter, his great performance went somewhat under the radar also a mention for Howard Jones because it was just himself and the grand piano, which I think was Freddie's...
