Bring back The Verve!
Here🙂🤪

Very unlikely
One of the most underrated singers of all time
the sound of the verve is so unique ...
Totally agreed
While I agree with this comment there is no such thing as being 'so' unique . The word unique has to be used on its own because it means one of a kind . You can't be so or very one a kind . Sorry it's one of my pet hates . Let's get back to the amazing music that is the verve !
Nick McCabe's (Verve guitarist) sound is definitely unique. No one comes even close to him.
Parabéns pra voce
yes, indeed! just now discovering The Verve.
I love it when Richard doesn't wear sunglasses or have his hair in his eyes. i like seeing the entirety of his beautiful face.
Handsome with or without
One of the best voices of all time!!
One of the best songwriters also...
hard to argue to that
Really???? his voices is minus average
WE NEED THE VERVE AGAIN ¡¡¡¡
Yes we do
So true!
We do but there's only Ashcroft that doesn't want it
Yes, me too. I have seen live Oasis in 2009 and PULP in 2011. Now give me blur and The Verve!!!! Right now!!! ^^
@@TheJarvis91 Are you Jarvis Cocker....?
I can't forget the moment I discovered this song as a teenager, now I have rediscovered it.
The best reflection that less is more, what a simple structure and melody and what a great song. What a great band.
Check "Can't Get It Out of My Head" by Electric Light Orchestra" :)
@@user-yy7lh2ng5c I will! Thanks
Oh my this human is handsome, not to mention incredibly musically gifted.
He should have a vest on, mind. It looks a bit nippy. His mum will have to have words.
His voice is great but the way he sings is too awesome!
There's no need for introductions
No dark corridors or things
You won't find your fortune
You might find some pain
I wanna lie, lie together
Feels like our last embrace
In a world full of confusion
Yeah, the human race
But I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?
Sometimes life seems to tear us apart
I don't wanna let you go
Sometimes these feeling's hidden
I start to cry 'cause I won't ever let you go
We're multiplying
Always living under some cloud
Always on the eve of destruction
Make you wanna scream out loud
And as I watch the birds soar
My lies in which you spun
Oh mama, mama why I'm still crying?
Oh, another day is come
'Cause I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?
Sometimes life seems to tear us apart
Don't wanna let you go
Sometimes these feeling's hidden
I start to cry 'cause I won't ever let you go
But I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?
But I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?
Sometimes this feeling gives me
Sometimes this feeling gives me
These feelings are oh so rare
True story: Myself and girlfriend were present when he recorded this video. It was up on May Hill in Gloucestershire on a pretty grim autumn day. We even appear at 3.01 over Richard's left shoulder. What a day to go out walking!
Forget wat ppl say. But this is best song ever heard.
This song deserves more recognition
he's a beautiful human
Yes he is
The verve all have Beautiful Souls 💜❤️ AMEN
yes ....
ONE of the BEST Song in the World.
Yeah the Verve made it
Agreed.
I swear this man is a prince in some universe somewhere
Bloody right there.
not you?
You mean king
he's not of this world that's for sure.. truly gifted
@@BellaZella3000 many beings comes from other high tech universus to learn empathy
It would be lovely to be strolling through the park and see Richard Ashcroft wandering around soulfully....
Yes it would..Holding his hand.Love his songs
Love yo music love yo words..I love walking with u in this video..and never let u go
Wandering Aschrfotly, or Ashcroftesquely :-D
so he wasn't satisfied walking by the city streets in bitter sweet symphony and decided to keep walking til find this place far away
Seems much happier getting back in touch with nature.
To be fair Love, he's just probably off his box. It doesn't cost anything to piss about in a wood. Don''t read too much into these vids :)
Yeah he's much happier touching nature, oul greenclaws.
"do an Ashcroft" could easily be an expression for walking/wondering around by this point... Yeah, I'm definitely gonna start using this now
He'd rather be there
A gentle Northern Soul....this man has so much swagger it's ridiculous!
Bring back The Verve.
"I was on the eve of destruction" that lyric really hits me!
Real. Richard . Thank you , man , for being so fucking honest. Some of us are dying for just a second of truth.
first i didn't like this song.now it's like drug..
his voice,lyrics,tune and a nice picturisation..
Fell in love with it at first hearing!
Forgot how many great tunes the Verve had
How the hell I missed this jewel...touched my soul :)
Still alive?
This song is perfect.
we're no different than any other country. Doesn't matter where you're from, talent is found in brilliant people
Agreed, the album too.
totalmente!
So perfect💘
Again, just like "Lucky Man" simple but unique but deep. Love it!
Essa música me passa uma energia , um sentimento único . Para mim a carga sentimental que ela passa é mais forte que Bitter Sweet Symphony.
Whenever I loose my head because of anxiety and the symptoms over take such as nausea... I blast this tune and sing my heart out. Richard is a healer.
....great song...great words...great voice....the verve are super...
yeap :)
Richard is always walking like a bad ass in his vids.
dude got swagger 👊
Desde mi punto de vista este grupo es el mejor, pero la gente no supo apreciarlo bien y solo un album salio exitoso, por favor, busquen más temas de este grupo, es uno de los mejores de los años 90s sin duda.
Es verdad nunca se lo valoro como por ejemplo a oasis,otra gran banda para mi, aveces es cuestión de suerte
Totalmente de acuerdo, tienen canciones exquisitas q no se apreciaron como debía
The Verve para mi es de las mejores bandas que eh escuchado,realmente una lastima que no lo supieran valorar como se debiera,lo mismo pasa con Richard en solista
Dissee tudoo👏👏👏
@@danielanascimento3265 Never Wanna See You Cry, So Sister, On Your Own (The Verve) 💚
You On My Mind In My Sleep, Science Of Silence, I Get My Beat (Richard Ashcroft) 💚
Richard always seems to be his most Zen self when he's walking around singing and playing guitar outside or making grass angels in an empty field, then riding that beautiful Triumph (symbolic?) in the video 'They Don't Own Me'....
Hes still walking ... goddamit richard.
I lived there for 28 years and know exactly how he feels.
I'm in love with Richard Ashcroft!!! He has an amazing singing voice!!!
The most underrated band ever
This needs more views Richard Ashcroft is an absolute superstar one of the best talents in the UK for sure. Pure gem of an artist, Unique I know I'd "Rather Be"
The BEST english band from 90s!
Richard Ashcroft legend.
same.
Yes it's true
He walks so far, until he comes outside the city. Epic singing march.
The intensity ,the walk ,the role ,the life theatre ,with time memories bring joy to the heart ,the departed card does plays a role
I want this song played at the graveside for my funeral.
+OctozoidPRS me too that a good idea! I like it.
+OctozoidPRS Same here brother
+OctozoidPRS you would rather be dead than alive?
me too
not me but we have the same destiny after all good idea +OctozoidPRS
As a huge fan of theirs who had been keeping his fingers crossed for a Verve reunion it was such a joy and pleasure to finally see and hear them perform their magical songs - not to mention the first row in neughbouring Austria. There they played Rather Be for the first or so time and I remember how much I enjoyed it. That was definitely one of the very best gigs I ever attended! I hope I can see them once more sometime.
Saw verve at haigh hall.an Ashcroft 3 times since.like millions would love to see a reunion but think Richard still believes ego he was the band.nick McCabe co were just back up'maybe ego dissapear before time passes him bye..
Legend has it this man still walks throughout the universe today.
Yes but he doesn't walk around objects, he walks through them.
“WOW” Just when I think I’ve heard all the classic tunes Richard Ashcroft puts out,,.....”WHAM” And he hits me with another Gem. I don’t know how many times I’ve commented on his music and said this but I’ll say it again. “ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SINGER/SONGWRITERS OF OUR TIME” pure genius. Give this man the accolade he deserves.
Como cuando una canción te abre nuevas perspectivas emocionales mediante su magnífica música, muy inmersiva. Stunning como se dice en lengua inglesa.
There sure must be other places better than here! This song reminds me about a part of my life that was rather tragic but I managed to pull through and fortunately save myself in the process! This was also possible thanks to Richard and his great music! Thank you for this song and making me realize I’m not alone! You have been, are, and will always be one of my greatest musical heroes! 🙂
This man seriously has one of the best voices ive ever heard
he also says it to himself about himself...
ANOTHER GREAT PERFORMANCE BY THE EVER BRILLIANT RICHARD ASHCROFT!
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
Di geni come lui ,ne nascono sulla punta della dita ,gli anni d'oro della musica mondiale ,sfornavano bend ,ancora oggi attuali magnifiche ,oesis, Verv, Quin, generis, Gedrodal, Rolliston,Pincfloid,Dairastrais,polis,ec.......queste bend rimarranno nel firmamento per l'eternità. ❤❤❤ed io a 61 anni li riascolto con malinconia ,perché oggi bend così, non ci sono più, ma loro hanno lasciato una eredità incredibile .la loro bellissima musica da riascoltare ,e riascoltare ,e farla scoprire alle nuove generazioni .❤
This song is really underrated, didn't even make the top 40!
Michael that because "they don't own him"..
We live in a very different world to when Verve were in their prime. Music, as a whole, has gotten a whole shit tonne worse, as have peoples taste in music.
Sad times.
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES!
@@Soulrollsdeep absolutely,but I think pop music generally has been going downhill rapidly since rap and hip hop reared it’s ugly head.still what do I know?
I loved this song when it came out always hated how it didn't even make the top 40 it deserved the Top 20 at least I preferred it to "Love is Noise".
But at least they got some chart success around this time getting a top 5 hit with "Love is Noise". The Album "Forth" also reached number one in the Album Charts.
I love this song, is more deep than it looks for me, a song that if you are depressed, you can feel how the lyrics describe what are you feeling and that thought of ''I guess better be here than anywhere'' that keeps you pushing a bit more and don't do something stupid.
The magic of this song is that, when you pass that depression status is when you really understand the meaning of the song. At least for me is about a "happy" acceptation of what is life, sometimes you are in deep shit, and some others you are full of joy.
Is a song that makes you be greatfull for being human "you know this feelings I have found they are all so rare, is there anywhere better than here?" If we wouldn't have bad moments, we wouldn't enjoy the good ones.
Абсолютно согласен с тобой!🎼🎻🎸
This is what I thought of this song too
Great comment
Me levanta ..me invita a volar por sobre los problemas ...darme cuenta que estoy a pesar de todo en el mejor lugar
U explained the song very well ,thanx❤
Fellows, feels like our last embrace. Ashcroft's a Genious.
Went to may hill yesterday to walk through the all inspiring area as the mighty Ashcroft once did. So special. It is true... “is there anywhere better than here”. Great place and very emotional
where is that
May hill Gloucestershire 👍🏻
Потрясающая песня, не могу наслушаться!
Ричард, ты гений!!!
Поддерживаю!
А мне с первой прослушки не зашла. Знацца нужно переслушать неск раз.
На днях наткнулся на эту группу. Ещё один Оазис походу. Те песни, где они конкретно подражают Роллингам или Битлам очень нравятся, а где идёт немелодичный занудный гранж то чтот не катит. Потому Оазис толком и не слушал, так отдельные песни. А у Верве сходу офигел от песен Биттер симфони и Сонет. Очень красивые песни. Вот бы все были такого уровня.
Физиономия интересная, собирательный образ разных музыкантов. Наиболее напоминает Харрисона, но что то есть от Джаггера и от Леннона.
This song is so beautiful.. I cant stop playing it today, touches your soul.

Only 5k subscribers ? They should be having it in Billions!
100% correct lyrics:
There's no need for introductions
No dark corridors of fame
You won’t find your fortune
You might find some pain
I wanna lie, lie together
Feels like our last embrace
In a world full of confusion
Yeah, the human race
But I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I've found they are, oh, so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?
Sometimes life seems to tear us apart
I don't wanna let you go
Sometimes these feelings hit me, I start to cry
‘Cause I won't ever let you go
Oh, my, my, my, my, we’re multiplying (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Always living under some cloud
Always on the eve of destruction (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Make you wanna scream out loud
And as I watch the birds soar (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
My lies in which you spun
Oh, mama, mama why I’m still crying (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)?
Oh, another day is come
‘Cause I'd rather be than be anywhere (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I've found they are, oh, so rare (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Is there anywhere better than here?
Sometimes life seems to tear us apart
I don't wanna let you go
Sometimes these feelings hit me, I start to cry
‘Cause I won't ever let you go
But I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here (na-na-na-na)?
You know these feelings I've found they are, oh, so rare
Is there anywhere better than here (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)?
But I'd rather be here than be anywhere (I can’t let you go)
Is there anywhere better than here (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)? (I can’t let you go)
You know these feelings I've found they are, oh, so rare (I can’t let you go)
Is there anywhere better than here (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)?
(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Sometimes this feeling hits me
(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Sometimes this feeling hits me
(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
These feelings are, oh, so rare
Nostalgia!
Richard sings from the soul, you can just feel it
Richard..U Give so much under standing that no one knows..Keep giving...U are BEAUTIFUL.And to me..Handsome..
My fave male singer of all time.... such talent and presence ❤️
Very iconic look and unique sound.
I'm 31 now..(still can't get used to that if I'm honest) but Richard with his heroine chic look -lets be honest- has enthralled me since I was maybe 9 years old, he is a truly and absolutely beautiful human being , I hope the band and everyone reading this is doing really well xx
Love The Verve please come back!!!!! Love your music!!!
You British people have the best currency in the world ( the pound )and best music artists in the world !! Congrats guys !! And there's a good reason why your country is called GREAT Britain...now I know it !!
+ClockworkSlave I'm from Italy ( pizza, mafia and mandolino , you know !) and I live in Tuscany :)
+Cybernella Sam British food sucks ...
+Priyankita Pant Britain has more of the world's top chefs than anywhere else. Also, proper, authentic British food is absolutely delicious.
+silv3r36 are you kidding? the most of mexicans love the UK culture
most commonwealth countries' cultures have developed the same school of thought as that existing in the UK, I wouldn't dare say UK has the greatest music artistes, they could very likely be found in these other societies
2021 até hoje estamos na quarentena. As vezes venho escutar o Richard cantar pra eu esquecer o que está acontecendo no mundo. Quem aí se identifica?
the verve produce poems rather than songs, with each track infused with much deeper connotations than the sum of their words
This song and Bittersweet Symphony are my favorites
He is so great ,and does nothing wrong , every one of his songs satisfy me .
Legend says he's still walking and shoving people out of the way. I love Oasi... err Verve.
Oasis is shit
I love this song, the album Forth is underrated, little known really but its a gem to those that do know it ✝️
This song I dedicated to my mate Craig Jackson who died back in 2010 in Inverness. We had a belter of a time at his flat having a three day sesh on acid. Following weekend he died, was fucking speechless when I found out. There's people we meet in life we forget what they say to us, but we never forget how they make us feel. This song cuts me right down to the bone everytime. RIP
Simply genius
This song seems so apt for what we as a human collective, are going through currently in 2020.
The best Singer in the World !!
British music at its best
Pure class!
He's gifted 100 % his music is timeless.
my favorite of Richard ,the best !
I even really dig the way he pronounces words while he sings with such strong + magnificent vocals.
I now expect that every single Verve video will be this dude walkin through somewhere
A voz do Richard tem um timbre muito especial e só dele,é impressionante.
Verdadeee🤗👏
@Coffe play O Liam canta como se tivesse soletrando, o Richard ele apenas canta com sua alma. Entre os dois, prefiro o Richard Ashcroft.
@@seven7conds626 eu também eu sou fã desse cara
@@seven7conds626 a voz do Richard é mil vezes melhor do que a do Liam.
Me encanta tu comentario❤ the lord Richard Ashcroft is the best on best. Para mí este cantante es #1.💎
Such a good song and Nostalgic. This song take us to a peaceful mind... nice one.
Sometimes there just arent words are there, just tears of happiness and joy that God brought this man onto earth. Jesus we thank you for Richard
It's nice to see the record company spare no expense on flying them off to exotic locations on there videos
Brilliant songwriter and one of my top 3 bands on earth. Never. Gets. Old.
walk in nature and watch your worries fall like the leaves from the trees-John Muir
This walking+lyrics is very poetic
Best Herion aditck I've seen,all the best Richard, from Manchester 🇬🇧
Me encanta el dramatismo de este hombre al cantar!!
🔊 MAGNÍFICO!!!!
Richard ashcroft canta demais.....curto ele desde o The Verve!!.
it is still beautiful and so pure
Transmits love ,life and urban poetry to the world and it's received by many.🏴
I agree with you 100%, but I would humbly suggest that the love transmitted by Richard, and by me when I write, is not ultimately ours to supply, only indeed ours to TRANSMIT.
God is the original source, and through creativity in music and writing we are servants of the great, beloved, dynamic, ever-inspiring Holy Spirit.
Whose one and only task - albeit pursued in a billion different ways - is to get us to SEE.
I am a willing, aware participant in that, but I am not sure if Richard realises he serves in the same way - also in Bittersweet Symphony and Lucky Man.
I read an interview with him once in which he said he gets the spirituality, so maybe he is fully aware of what is happening.
This song is about spiritual realisation and awakening, and yet that is exactly what we receive when we listen to it.
How neat is that?
Holy Spirit neat...
Pure gold
No no no..... Pure Gems and Diamonds, Amazing.
RUclipsNONesistE dude bidisha cool
THE greatest musician in the world
Picture this,,.......In an alternate universe,on a alternate earth,this man is,,......Worshipped as a musical God. So underrated!!!!!
British sound, always successful
