You know what I love about this man? He feels so much every single word, every single chord.. He's possessed when he performs, he is transported to a different place; did you notice that he didn't open his eyes, not even once? That's artistry, in one of it's purest and most moving forms..
Don't think i've ever heard anyone inhabit a song the way Richard does in this version. One of my favourite songs of all time. Meant the world to me aged 15. And still does now. Incredible piece of songwriting. Perfectly backed by a band ready to take on the world. Beautifully put together. 2:37 onwards is so unexpected. Sung by someone totally in the zone. The melding of Ashcroft's vocal and Nick's guitar t 3:02 is just insane.....
You should buy 'Northern Soul' by the Verve, brilliant album. On your own is a classic but so is 'History'. Find that song if you havent heard it before, amazing tune.
Mr Ashcroft you are a godsend to a starlight shoegazer as myself. You are Wigan Athletics Premierships Championships manager in my FIFA 2017 world. Ya killin it mate. Cheers.
My life is good right now but for too long this haunting tale was my tale..... The Verve rocked and Ashcroft is an inspiring big guy, there's something comforting about knowing someone else has felt your pain; Ashcroft=God L4E x
still to this day a get tingles wenever i listen to richie.memories of my teenage years of madness roll back n to think wot it would of bn like without the verve,oasis n the phonics in ma life.if rich ,kelly jones n noel made a band music would b back to its best.raw emotional n most of all it b about the music. bring back the days wen music was a magnet to the ears that u jst couldnt help listening to and stand in amazement as sir richard leads the way!!!lol
Esta es una de las mejores canciones de mi vida, es sencilla pero expresa algo tan lindo como lo es una sensación de vacío y el deseo de conocer a alguien que lo pueda llenar. Gracias The Verve
Me, too! Then I discovered they just came back. I LOOOOVVE the Verve! I heard Bittersweet Symphony some time ago and didn't think much of it. Now I hear stuff like this. Wow. Amazing. McCabe and Ashcroft are pure genius. Listen to the guitar in Life's an Ocean. It is like whale song. The lyrics in the songs are pure poetry, too. The Rolling People, Drugs Don't Work, Slide Away, etc. I love this song so much.
Me encanta esta canción, me hace suspirar aún hoy día, aunque soy una persona depresiva, esta canción muchas veces es causa de inspiración para seguir, aunque no haga nada, aunque este ahí en la esquina, me ayuda a vivir, a no perder la esperanza de ser mi propia motivación; al final "estás por tu cuenta".
The Verve are my favourite band...Nirvana push them close for me but 'Mad Richard' edges it for me...love everything about them...love their 10 min records, loved their more pop stuff (Urban Hyms). Nobody 'sings' better than Rich Live i reckon. Always sounds perfect.
There are not enough words to describe how much this song, man and performance means to me. Sublime, incredible, life affirming, ethereal....the list could go on forever. What a band and moment in time 😍

Music is a deep subject.. and some guys are just deep into it
He’s really singing from his heart
So true my friend. He really feels the music.
3:04
I can't believe this song wasn't a hit in the UK, it's fucking great
Richard Ashcroft. Best voice I have ever heard in my life.
He's out of this world.
Great songwriter as well. For baritone singers I also love Craig Lorentson.
Amazing beautifully done 🤩 🔥love this guy he’s an incredible 🔥
Gilbert O'Sullivan best voice.
I love Oasis when I'm feeling up beat but the Verve is a more complex and mature band. Plus they have some top songs!
nick mccabe one of our greatest guitarists so subtle and sublime love his style of playing
The best
Simplesmente o primeiro vídeo brasileiro de todos os tempos
I want this song to be played at my funeral
It will be played , don't worry!
I’m having it at mine too ❤️
Great shout. Either this or "History"
The Verve is the best band all time!!!
Yes best band in human history
No one else in the world could ever made accoustic songs like he did.
Flavia Alejandra you can’t of heard of a small time musician called... NOEL GALLAGHER 🙄
@@musicl0ver543ever heard of take me away? Thats a brilliant fucken tune from Noel or dead to the world.
I have no words to describe how beautiful and meaningful this song is for me.One of the most wonderful things I have ever heard!
Nick's guitar playing.....jesus. So fucking raw and full of emotion.
Bane Hardly everyone?
Yes that's true, he plays not the guitar......He is the guitar❤
No one's like Ashcroft. Gorgeous, awesome.
Miriam hill Noel Gallagher and Ashcroft are the best British songwriters and that’s a fact.
@@DeusOmnium27 Noel Gallagher..hahahahaha

DG Barclay very well put mate.
Definitely one of those song that just get inside your soul if you allow it to enter
This is by far the best version, so haunting
90's was insane
Here in 2021. Hes just the vest best. x
i just fucking love that "we provide the fireworks..." thing in the beginning. listening to this so often, i got used to it.
Life seems so obscene... until it's over.
Love from Scotland lads and thanks for memories 👊🏴💯
You come in on your own and you leave on your own
Richard Ashcrof
Simplemente me transportas a un lugar que me gusta.....simplemente un lugar para mi.....
He is gorgeous....and so is his voice....I never get sick of The Verve
Can you believe this beautiful video only watched by 469k people, while trash music video out there is watched by millions of people?
There isn't anything this bloke can't sing that doesn't come out beautiful!
Richard, you've got a gift!
Cheers!
You should buy 'Northern Soul' by the Verve, brilliant album. On your own is a classic but so is 'History'. Find that song if you havent heard it before, amazing tune.
Yes sir
Greatest album of all time. So much better than Urban Hymns
History is a timeless classic. Ashcroft is a genius
it dosent matter who is better (oasis or the verve), if you like there songs, listen to them and breath it in
So beatyful and pure 💜💜👌👌
What a fantastic song. Love their early stuff. Talented
Darren Groves same
Bad arse tune by Richard Ashcroft, amazing talent 🇬🇧
One of the very few "Wordsmiths" of his generation...a modern day poet...
Mr Ashcroft you are a godsend to a starlight shoegazer as myself. You are Wigan Athletics Premierships Championships manager in my FIFA 2017 world. Ya killin it mate. Cheers.
Well said sir
2019 and still in love
I'm so down i could listening this song on and on.
He is beautiful here.
My life is good right now but for too long this haunting tale was my tale..... The Verve rocked and Ashcroft is an inspiring big guy, there's something comforting about knowing someone else has felt your pain; Ashcroft=God L4E x
Makes me cry a very gorgeous song
Can't stop.. I miss 90's
God, i totally forgot about this classic, now i want to cry, beautiful!

Uma das melhores bandas do mundo. Sensacional
Esta es una de las mejores canciones de mi vida, es sencilla pero expresa algo tan lindo como lo es una sensación de vacío y el deseo de conocer a alguien que lo pueda llenar.
Gracias The Verve

Best emotional Piece of Music. #Like!

You're never alone, never. For you are everything and everything is you.
It's hard this life...go ahead...nobody seems to know what really is this life
Me, too! Then I discovered they just came back. I LOOOOVVE the Verve! I heard Bittersweet Symphony some time ago and didn't think much of it. Now I hear stuff like this. Wow. Amazing.
