Lucy Thomas Stuns with Cover of 'Unchained Melody' by The Righteous Brothers

Lucy Thomas, an incredibly talented and musically gifted young woman, turned in a stunning cover performance of The Righteous Brothers’ classic, “Unchained Melody.”

Every year, musicians release hundreds, possibly even thousands, of songs, hoping their recordings gain some attention. Sadly, that is rarely the case. Most songs produced and released will go unheard by most of the population. Even when people do hear songs, they may completely forget they ever listened to a particular tune.

However, some songs stay in our brains and stick with us for years, perhaps even decades, after their initial release date. Some songs are iconic, so whenever played, within the first handful of notes, everyone within earshot will immediately recognize them. People will instantly start singing or humming along, even if they aren’t fans of that tune. That’s how ingrained some songs have become.

One song that everyone knows is The Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody.” The song from the 60s has been covered hundreds, maybe even thousands of times over the years. In a clip posted on YouTube, the supremely talented Lucy Thomas supplies us with her version of The Righteous Brothers’ track.

As is expected, Lucy’s cover is phenomenal. She uses her beautiful voice to expertly belt out those iconic lyrics about missing and longing for someone. She also puts her spin on the song, moving her voice up and down in different places from the original version. This is one cover of “Unchained Melody” that you’ll want to listen to repeatedly.

The song’s opening verse has to be one of the most iconic in music history. You likely won’t be able to read those words without singing them or, at the very least, hear the song in your head as you read them.

“Woah, my love, my darling

I’ve hungered for your touch

A long, lonely time

And time goes by so slowly”

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”
