Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch

And time goes by so slowly

Damn fine cover.
The Dread Zeppelin changed their style.

I don't know, it's OK, but there's just something wrong with it. Can't put my finger on it at the moment, it's just off to my ears.

Why do I hear a hint of Mick's voice?
Definitely a song that makes me reach for my phone and look them up.
even my husband when came in to the room asked who this guy was -and he almost never comments on the music. he convinced me to an 8 when I was going to give 7. I think he is right.

Orville's voice will always get me. That's it.

He may be ‘delivering’ a bit too often in this mix
unneeded
Had to stop, load the app and look carefully - thought maybe it was Elvis or Something
It’s a good cover, but not the best cover ever. LeAnn Rimes has the best cover ever…and I know, I’m embarrassed to know that, but good music is always good music in any genre.

Reminds me of Puddles the Clown/Puddles Pity Party...unexpected and different, but good stuff.

Bill's little snippet defended him.... But i'm curious is it a novelty act one hit wonder i.e. curly shuffle?
I’m going off to listen to some righteous brothers songs. The were phenomenal. This suffers greatly by comparison unfortunately
Love that cannot be denied:
Just play the original
Is this grows on me, I'll need to see a doctor.

But Puddles can sing.
Just read a quote that a guitarist recently said (could use some help on who said it), but he said something like "the more perfect you try to make it, the more you lose the feeling". I've overlooked the imperfection of this song and immersed myself in the heartfelt and unbridled feelings that the singer invoked in me. Over the top performance! Very close to god-like. Wish all us inspiring musicians could achieve imperfection as great as this!
Cool song. Nice treatment of it.
Orville Peck has a great voice ... Kalahari Down got me into him, all though it's not one of his most popular. Also 'Summertime'. Definitely some of the spirit of Elvis, long live the King!
It's not that this is bad, it's that the original is SO good. Whoever compared this to a wedding singer is close, (you know, granpa gets up, to sing, everybody snickers, then they get blown away) but I think it's more like a Starsearch effort ala Susan Boyle, although Slim Whitman and Roy Orbitson came to mind too for some reason. The backup singers add a very hign schmaltz factor. This needs it's own rating category of just "weird" . In all it was very creative with a really high "what the H was that?" factor. Next up, The Lord's Prayer done in rap!
Can't beat the wonderful over the top original!

I decided almost immediately I didn’t like this as it sounded like a drunk wedding singer. However, William suggested giving them a chance, and as I respect his taste, I did. He was, of course, correct.
Like it. Some reason though I'm picturing Bill Murray singing it in my mind.
Dude sounds like Elvis. And how does WIKI have nothing on them LOL
There either isn't a Wikipedia entry for The Unrighteous Brothers, or we have the wrong link info.

It's true. The first few seconds sounded a bit awkward, but this does get pretty good in the end.
Bill prefaced this track with "if you give them a chance, they deliver".
They sure do - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling is also worth a listen.

Orville Peck is one of the members-that explains the over the top haunting voice-which I enjoy, btw.
Umm, interesting... although the resemblance to Bocephus in the center photo is startling. Definitely not horrible!
Interesting vote split - one 5, one 6 and one 8. I think I like it, need to hear it a couple more times
wow, i like this. wasn't expecting to. this is really cool.
