Happy Monday All despite everything. We hope you are all well.
The sun was out today and I wondered if Nick Kershaw did a River Song. If I’d be taking part in “Blogging from A-Z” I’d tell you he sang one but I am not sure if it’s his. Also, he plays with Go West and now I have a PET Shop Boys Tune in my head.
Gosh, I loved Nick Kershaw as a teen and had one of his records. My favourite song was “The Riddle”. Now you know where I got my English from 🤣.
Wikipedia says:
Kershaw came to prominence in 1984 as a solo artist. He released eight singles that entered the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart during the decade, including “Wouldn’t It Be Good”, “Dancing Girls”, “I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”, “Human Racing”, “The Riddle”, “Wide Boy”, “Don Quixote” and “When a Heart Beats”. His 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart through 1984 and 1985 beat all other solo artists.[5] Kershaw appeared at the dual-venue concert Live Aid in 1985 and has also penned a number of hits for other artists, including a UK No. 1 single in 1991 for Chesney Hawkes, “The One and Only”.[5]

Na, it’s not his but James Bays. However, I like the Version in this Video.
Hold Back the River” is a song by the English singer-songwriter James Bay. It was released in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2014 by Republic Records as the second single from Bay’s first studio album Chaos and the Calm (2014). The song was written by the Ivor Novello award winner Iain Archer with Bay and produced by Jacquire King. The song peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The song was used in the movie, The Space Between Us.

Schönen Montag trotz Allem. Wir hoffen, es geht Euch allen gut.
Die Sonne schien heute und ich fragte mich, ob Nick Kershaw einen River Song gemacht hat. Wenn ich bei „Bloggen von A-Z“ mitmachen würde, würde ich Euch sagen, dass er einen gesungen hat, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es von ihm ist. Außerdem spielt er mit Go West und jetzt habe ich einen PET Shop Boys Tune im Kopf.
Meine Güte, ich habe Nick Kershaw als Teenager geliebt und hatte eine seiner Platten. Mein Lieblingslied war „The Riddle“. Jetzt weißt du, woher ich mein Englisch habe 🤣.
Nicholas David „Nik“ Kershaw (* 1. März 1958 in Bristol) ist ein britischer Multi-Instrumentalist, Singer-Songwriter und Komponist. Zwischen Herbst 1983 und Ende 1985 hatte er große Erfolge mit Titeln wie I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Wouldn’t It Be Good oder The Riddle. Später trat er auch als Komponist u. a. für Chesney Hawkes oder The Hollies in Erscheinung. Seine späteren Werke wie 15 Minutes oder To Be Frank werden eher dem Progressive Rock zugeordnet.

I remember hearing this song a lot when it first came out. I think it made #1 here in the UK?
