Aiken, Clay - Unchained Melody Lyrics






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, I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers shy, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me

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, I need your love
God speed, God speed your love to me
I, I need your love
God speed, God speed your love to me

    2003 - when you had to pay per text message

  3. D.... P....

    Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. L.... K....

    The Best!

  5. D.... f....

    Muy rapido y muy mal cantado no se me eriza ni un pendejo de los huevos

  6. B.... N....

    3x faster than it should be. Not enough time to do this one.

  7. P.... ....

    My God those eyebrows!

  8. D.... H....

    Watching this in 2019 and I still get chills xoxo to me he will always be the best and most talented idol xoxo

  9. a.... e....

    They hyped Fatboy so much, if he lost there would have been riots. Fatty, you lost and are a joke.

  10. D.... B....

    Bellísimo!!!!

  11. K.... W....

    He was so good he should have won I think if he would have won he would have stayed in the music business

  12. W.... i....

    00:01 it sounds like the german word "Ecken" in english that means "corners"

  13. B.... ....

    It's good but when you hear real singers, like Il Divo, this sounds a bit lame by comparison.

  14. K.... F....

    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻awesome!!!

  15. J.... H....

    He sang this song so beautiful. All these years later, and I still can't get enough of his version of this song. Especially when he hits that high note...amazing...beautiful!!!

  16. H.... D....

    Still watching this in 2018...

  17. C.... F....

    To say the competition was fixed is extremely unfair to Ruben. He deserved to win! I’m not saying Clay didn’t, his voice is magical.

  18. R.... S....

    Man that voice. He can sing!!!!!

  19. R.... S....

    He has and always will be a Winner in my book. come on clay, let's go to the white house!

  20. I.... ....

    Beautiful!

  21. R.... M....

    Ok I really like Clay, but am I the only one who thinks this rendition is super obnoxious? So one note the entire time. Just my 2 cents

  22. J.... C....

    It's 2018. I'm here.

  23. B.... D....

    The goat

  24. J.... M....

    I still watching too. I wish he could sing more often.......

  25. J.... M....

    Voice of an angel

  26. J.... B....

    Contests for singing are like contests for living. Ridiculous.

  27. m.... m....

    2017 reporting in.

  28. l.... ....

    I didn't like this arrangement but heck he slayyyyyed those vocals!!! Lovely😚😙😊😊

  29. D.... H....

    Why didn't he win?

  30. C.... ....

    I remember flipping through channels and I came upon AI when he was about to sing this. I thought I would watch a train wreck happen, as this is not an easy song... but when he nailed it, I became an instant fan!!!

  31. M.... I....

    It’s 2017 I still watch it

    M.... I....

    Me too!!!

  32. M.... M....

    With Unchained Melody and Bridge over Troubled Waters, Clay Aiken should have won hands down!!!!   Better, bigger voice.   I love to watch this video.   How he didn't win, I do not know.   I voted for Clay.

  33. H.... ....

    Wonderful singer, beautiful voice.

  34. M.... W....

    For those who think Aiken didn't win, compare the sale of his albums to those of Studdard.

  35. b.... ....

    took it and made it his own

  36. P.... M....

    The guy knows how to sing really well, there's no doubt about that.. buts he's got a fuckin' weird ass sounding voice. I dont know exactly what it is. Too much vibrato, too robotic, too much diva queen in the tone? I don't know but it turns me off. He can hit every note in the world perfectly and still not have the best sounding voice.

  37. N.... C....

    Got damn that boy can sing!!!

  38. C.... ....

    I LIKED IT BUT I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE SLOWED IT DOWN A BIT, SO WE COULD HAVE HEARD HOW CLEAR HIS VOICE REALLY IS !

  39. T.... T....

    His best performance IMO. Top 5 American Idol performances of all time

  40. D.... K....

    Still,the most amazing voice ever in American Idol..God bless u n fams,Clay..$$$

  41. T.... K....

    how he not win

  42. G.... B....

    Clay Aiken is the definition of faggy. Nuff said.

  43. C.... H....

    2017,I stii watch it

    C.... H....

    still....

  44. G.... T....

    Anybody else have to replay the way Seacrest said "Aiken" in the beginning??? Or just me??? Plz advise

    G.... T....

    yeah pronounced as in oh my Acken Back lol but I don't believe Ryan was trying to be disprespectul

    G.... T....

    Plz be advised:
    Does not require replay but requires review upon every replay, without exception.

    Reconstructive analysis:
    "Clayy...Aiy-kinn."

    Discussion:
    Just ridiculous. There are no words for this noise.

  45. B.... ....

    Terry Lin sings this 100% better this

  46. A.... H....

    I just got chills listening to him

  47. c.... s....

    Marvellous!

  48. J.... A....

    Now, clay aiken is a politician. Never heard him sing again. Damn it, this guy sings better than 95% of the singers from this generation. Smh.

    J.... A....

    Adit Jonathan Interesting. I did not know he became a politician. I always wondered what happened.

    J.... A....

    Kia Thomas ikr. He's doing well as a politician tho. But still at the end, his talent goes to waste

  49. M.... M....

    Clay Aiken should have won for he can hit the high notes in singing pitch like in the Key of A# to F# maybe E# rang.

  50. B.... T....

    No one should, ever, ever, ever sing this. The Righteous Brother's version is untouchable. What do these people see in this, Clay, guy? He makes my stomach ache and up comes and shoots out the last meal, I've eaten.

  51. C.... M....

    Magnificent voice, excellent band. Well Done!!!

  52. t.... l....

    3 3 Clay 3

  53. S.... C....

    he's still MY American Idol

  54. R.... S....

    2016 yeah baby!!!

  55. A.... W....

    that was flawless 👏👏

  56. B.... H....

    Still can't believe he didn't win😭

    B.... H....

    right? I'm still mad!

    B.... H....

    I will always be pissed. That season was rigged .I have never watched since!!!!!!

  57. K.... H....

    like it

  58. S.... ....

    AWSOME JOB!!!

  59. f.... ....

    TOO MUCH BROADWAY... LACK A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION FROM THE SONG

    f.... ....

    What???   No emotion???   Can you even hear and know what good singing is???   Maybe, you lack emotion so you don't see the emotion when Clay sings this song???

  60. C.... D....

    Beautiful voice. ..

  61. l.... t....

    Why so fast?

    l.... t....

    The one thing I learned from Clay was every song he sang he made it his own ! Maybe that was why he sang it a little faster but it could be time restraints! But he was robbed we tried and tried to vote for him and always busy so we thought it was a good thing. However my curiosity got the best of me and I called Studdards number and got right through. That was more than odd! I will always believe he won ! 💔

    l.... t....

    Melanie Hope -

  62. A.... F....

    still nothing in comparison to the righteous brothers

  63. R.... G....

    YOU ARE THE BEST, CLAY!!!!

  64. C.... G....

    Clay clay clay what can i say. Your the best

  65. J.... M....

    Dear God HE is GREAT!!

  66. B.... P....

    good... but... cmon... overdone as hell and sort of annoying. would never sit and listen to this

    B.... P....

    I disagree. I am in love with his performance ^^ I would pay to sit and listen to this over and over

  67. D.... ....

    One of the best performances on american idol ever

  68. S.... P....

    Clay Aiken should have won American Idol

  69. A.... S....

    God almighty..  what a voice he's got to be one of best vocalist of all time... When he can take the Righteous brothers on ... great God... wonderful... wonderful

  70. O.... J....

    1:23 *faints drops passes out*

  71. J.... C....

    This is easily the best vocalist to come through American Idol in the shows entire history.

    It is hilarious that he didn't win. He has complete command of his vocals and his range is fantastic. Essentially he was already a professional singer in terms of his control and quality.

  72. k.... ....

    definetley  not in bobby hatfields class

  73. F.... P....

    Palha! Tentou, mas não chega perto do original!

  74. G.... J....

    He makes me have chills all over my body. I love you Clay!

  75. R.... N....

    I love your song clay

  76. T.... V....

    geweldig

  77. T.... D....

    He sings really well, very professional. But... I don't feel anything in this performance, lack of feeling.

  78. P.... B....

    My Clay sang this to me 3 days after he met me publicly at a wedding . Love this.

  79. A.... H....

    I love the original ... but I have to say his vocals are fantastic !

  80. M.... T....

    ...you ruined the song with this tempo... pitty...

  81. y.... ....

    He has an incredible voice.  I just don't think the background music, or backup singers in other videos for instance allow him to convey the emotions that he can.

  82. s.... ....

    Clay didn't 'rush' the song. Each contestant had X amount of time to perform each song---blame the musical director if you thought this was 'rushed'. As for the show being 'fixed' due to Clay 'losing'- the mistake the producers made was to not have enough phone lines or time for all of Clay's millions of votes OVER Ruben that was trying to get in. Two producers admitted 'Clay received 80 percent of the vote EVERY single week he was on.' They knew they had a phenomenon on the show. But..... The very next season each finalist was given 2-3 phone lines and double the hours for their votes to get in. In Clay's case it didn't matter if he won or not; he became much more successful than Ruben.
    All of Clay's performances were perfection ( no matter what Simon said---even though Simon later admitted he believed Clay was 'the best'.)

  83. T.... ....

    ...This man didn't win!? He was robbed! Show had to have been fixed!

    T.... ....

    +Sam Thompson I was literally just about to comment about Adam Lambert, that was complete BS LOL.

    T.... ....

    Rocky Mountain Horror Show LOLLOLOLOLOL

    T.... ....

    Umm no Carrie Underwood & Kelly Clarkson have that title,'

  84. a.... a....

    He's a great karaoke singer!

  85. R.... ....

    SORRY CLAY THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE SO MEAN TO YOU, BUT THEY ARE IGNORANT AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.  I LOVE YOUR VOICE AND IT IS PERFECT FOR MY EARS.  KEEP US HAPPY WITH YOUR VOICE.  THANK YOU.

    R.... ....

    @Kianne Yourface HI KIANNE, LOVE YOUR NAME. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. MY NAME IS SUZANNE I TEACH LINE DANCING COUNTRY ROCK AND ROLL. I COULD NOT GET RUNAROUNDSUE SO I TOOK THE O FOR AROUND RUN O SUE. TALK TO YOU AGAIN.

    R.... ....

    no problem :) have a good day, sweetie

    R.... ....

    @Kianne Yourface YOU ALSO HAVE GREAT DAYS.

    R.... ....

    @RUNOSUE16 Sorry Dear, but he isn't singing any more. A great loss to us all.

  86. R.... B....

    That is what I call truly professional singing.

  87. J.... C....

    what a wonderful singer clay is.

  88. 1.... b....

    Ok, so, by popular demand, I am watching it again.
    How do you say "perfect"?  It doesn't get any better.  This is called 'A FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE!
    I can be very critical when it comes to music, but Clay's version of this is "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!

    1.... b....

    i never liked this song before but he made me like it!

    1.... b....

    Vocal prowess is there. It'd be perfect if only the tempo wasn't so fast…

  89. V.... F....

    He has a nice voice both when he sings in his normal register and when he goes into falsetto, but I think he rushes the song. It was written by a man who had incarceration between him and his loved one, so he had no reason to be in such a hurry. Furthermore, Aiken's heart should be achin', almost breakin', but his voice does not convey that, IMO. He does slow down for the last part and is much more effective.  Of course, on those made for TV versions of songs, time constraints force singers to either skip some of the lyrics or sing faster, so it is not his fault.

  90. G.... V....

    HI Clay,I always loved that song well done.Peace.GARYV.

  91. A.... P....

    This was his version and he did a beautiful job of this song and I love to listen to him sing.

  92. C.... N....

    there's nothing spectacular in his voice... idk why he won. Young women in US just hungry for anything that sooth their donk ears...Listen to Righteous brothers

    C.... N....

    He didn't win....

  93. S.... ....

    he sounds like a disney star

  94. n.... ....

    I was a huge Righteous Brothers fan. Always loved this song, which has been recorded by over fifty performers in the last sixty years. This is from 2003, when contestants sang to back-up tracks, with not much control over it. Clay Aiken recorded his own version of this song 2010(?), which is amazing. What I appreciate is that he has recorded many classics which has not been heard in years. I think we find singers who affect us with their voices, just because you don't like their singing style, doesn't mean they're not exceptional.

  95. j.... b....

    Very good but, this belongs to Bobby Hatfield and always will!!

  96. A.... M....

    He should have won 

    A.... M....

    everyone knows that lol

  97. C.... M....

    Best of the best!  Still watch him sing too. This was back when the contestants sang to a backing track -- and a short part of a song.  Clay blew everyone away!  No band, no backup singers, no fancy lighting and stage affects -- just the performer.
