This generation of music is one reason. Music has lost its way. People have forgotten what true talent and beauty sounds like. Glad we still have Ashcroft and a few others.
This may be the most depressing song ever. Listen closely to the lyrics and what he means. That life is pointless and not worth living... Add the fact that RA's voice is so powerful and you can hear the pain, sorrow and genius all in one song. Top stuff!
Yes. So deeply depressing, and yet so important as a human to at least contemplate the reality of life from this angle. Although I'm a happy and grateful young person, this song really spoke to me of the darker part of existence, and helped me grow up in that way, as I'm sure it did for many others. The last few lines are especially telling and relatable - after all the "you come in on your own and leave on your own, forget the lovers you've known and your friends on the road", we finally get - "lies... got to get rid of this hole inside", repeated until the ending silence. However resigned we may become to our loneliness, in the very end we will yearn painfully, desperately, for connection with others to save us from the bare, lonely meaninglessness of 'real life' on some level. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, one love
Always loved Ashcroft, his voice is unbelievable but I've got even more into him since I've got into lyrics, he's a genius and up there with the best lyricists of all time I think.
Even Noel wouldn’t say he’s a better songwriter than Ashcroft. Back in the day, Noel had a lot of admiration for Richard Ashcroft. In one way it’s a shame that The Verve aren’t more widely known but then I don’t know if Richard Ashcroft would want it like that. Don’t think he liked the fame etc
Just (May 2018) saw him in Boston, playing solo opening for Liam Gallagher (who was poor). He opened with this, and he still has it. Well worth your time if he's touring near you.
Love this acoustic version best. Had similar heartache as mr Ashcroft. Dad died same age kick out home same age. He got me frew my darkness thanx. Inspired me to write too. Check out merry go round Rosco. Just ruff acoustic but ideas there. Peace world x
What a beautiful song thankyou to the artist and thanks to God for giving us such a talented man on earth ,the afterlife isn't easy at least I'm not alone

Loneiness, pain , alienation, regret, guilt, desperation and numbness are real human emotions. There's a story behind them..a reason. Always remember you're loved. Reach out to Jesus. You have a reason, a purpose. Give it all to him. "Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant or insecure, remember to whom you belong" Ephesians 2:19-22 "Therefore I say to you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours" Mark 11: 24
(The) Verve were to 1994/5 what the Doors, Love and Velvet Underground were to 1966/7. They all were definitely part of a wider scene but also so obviously distinct from it. Great music and great bands during those early to mid 90s times but no one sounded like the Verve or had the same degree of poetic soulfulness apart from I guess Spiritualized. Ashcroft and Jason Pierce are just made different, true soul legends in my opinion producing amazing art with their bands
We do it on our own people, don't run from yourself get to know yourself. Lifes better when ya do. Got to do it on your own people know one will do it for you. Peace punk mc

Your taste in music is immaculate
You can't put it better than what you said, fantastic song, certainly one of my favourite of all time
I'm Fuzzy, now.
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow.
When you take my soul dont take my pride!!!
The furtues
No shadow just a fluorescent life
Cause he looks like a vampire. Noel Gallagher's words, not mine. 2 great songs.

The internet killed the radio tv and video star.
Oversaturated
@@MrSmid888 something should do the same to the internet then

The way he sings the opening line.. gets you right in the soul.

As sad as this song is it’s truly beautiful and, I love listening to it!!
This man's on another planet ooh so good
That’s Atheism for you
Existence*
Tell me if it's true, that I need you, you are changing.
Saddest lyric of all time.

His lyrics are straightforward and to the point
@@iMertin90 ON Point
this is so perfect it makes me wanna cry
Ines Grace get a grip.
Hauntingly beautiful song, Richard has a brilliant voice and is such a talented musician. He has never been given the credit he deserves
This song shall be played at my funeral.
great choice. same here
One of the greatest male vocalists of all time!
Legend that has got me through some tough times
this man with his guitar catchs you with this sound and won't let you go.
Richard Ashcroft. A songwriter so good that listening to his words HURT. Bless you x
Profoundly beautiful and perfect. Thank you Richard Ashcroft
All these years later and still this gives me the fuzzies. Totally gets me right in the feels.
I cant even put into words how fucking magical this is...
One of my favourite Verve tunes. That voice man, that voice..
brings me close to tears reminds me of my dads death and a bad break up
Just (May 2018) saw him in Boston, playing solo opening for Liam Gallagher (who was poor). He opened with this, and he still has it. Well worth your time if he's touring near you.
Checked on the Verve gig @ Boston 1998 a Pavillion clóse to the sea ....unforgetable feeling
his singing voice is really emortional and delicate
and it always makes me cry that the part of ‘you are changing’ this version
beauty, pain and wisdom. i love this song.
Minds me of ma dad who passed. 19 10 last year well gutted 60 is too young live forever Bob miss aye
This video brings me to tears every. Single. Time.
Love this acoustic version best. Had similar heartache as mr Ashcroft. Dad died same age kick out home same age. He got me frew my darkness thanx. Inspired me to write too. Check out merry go round Rosco. Just ruff acoustic but ideas there. Peace world x
I lost count of how many times I've watched this. That voice. Wow.
Man, this song is just perfect. Really what I need right now
Best song ever 🤷♂️❤❤❤

What a beautiful song thankyou to the artist and thanks to God for giving us such a talented man on earth ,the afterlife isn't easy at least I'm not alone
This is THE VERVE man!!Trouble genius song writer ever!!!
All he needs is a guitar. He doesn’t even need a band ❤️
He needs Nick McCabe to play that guitar.
His solo albums are mediocre at best
This is actually better than the official released version 🙌
all those lies, i'm standing here i'm all alone
I've just read it while he was singing that line. Went straight to the soul
@@nutshellllll same
the best song of the world !!!
One of my influences in music
beautiful in its simplicity
8 days to go till I see u in Glasgow. Canne wait. Some song!!!
He played this in Dublin this evening ❤

Still my absolute favorite track !!!!
A Epically Unique masterpiece
Still gives me shivers
The older I get, the more I think that we really do come in on our own and leave on our own.
Gave it to us with his eyes closed.. savage

Insanely good
Tell me what you've seen
Was it a dream?
Was I in it?
Life seems so obscene
Until it's over
Who knows?
All I want is someone who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left
Do you wanna know?
You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've know
And your friends on your own
Tell me if it's true
That I need you
You are changing
I've seen this road before down on this floor
It is hurting me
All I want is someone
Who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left
Do you want to know?
You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've know
And your friends on your own
You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've know
And your friends who have told
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
I'm coming in on my own
I'm coming in on my own
I'm coming in on my own
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Thanks

Loneiness, pain , alienation, regret, guilt, desperation and numbness are real human emotions. There's a story behind them..a reason.
Always remember you're loved.
Reach out to Jesus. You have a reason, a purpose. Give it all to him.
"Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant or insecure, remember to whom you belong"
Ephesians 2:19-22
"Therefore I say to you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours"
Mark 11: 24
Legend
Sublime
