It makes you sick that Amy Winehouse - Rehab on Jools Holland has 1.2 million views and this only has 55 thousand!! This song is epic, and i love the string arrangements in all the Verve's songs!
No useless glitzy talent competition or manufactured band or boy-band could ever make something as touching as this.. it's real. Real music is hard to come by these days.
for awhile i was suffering from clinical depression, and this song helped me get through some of the worse times in my life. i was turning to alcohol most of the time, and feeling guilty for the sake of doing so. thank you the verve for helping me getting through the most difficult in life. and after that, this song always made me reflect about those dark ages, and how i can overcome it. very simple but powerful, very soulful. i thank the band from my heart.
This was so much better than all the rest at that time, and I was in love with them too! Same night Nick McCabe inspired me to pick up a guitar when they did Life's An Ocean, everybody else was raging about John Squire and I just saw McCabe as an otherworldly creature who didn't fluff his lines due to Cocaine abuse. The longer I play guitar the more I realise I will never emulate the bugger! He's a Clapton, Gilmour or Hendrix but will never be remembered that way.
This is perfection..one of the best bands ever performing one of the best songs ever on LJH...thanks for posting ...song always makes me think of my mom...
the whole performance is brilliant and my favourite of this song, but the ending is just so powerful. eyes closed and pure passion from a man totally in tune with top class music. or should i so *was* in tune...
Who ever was the band manager, promotion dude, or record label company messed up with the US market. This band deserved much better promotion. As an American I am sad that I didn't listen to them more over the last decade ago. Thankfully RUclips is helping to correct my folly and can see the live performances from Glastonbury and Jools Holland. Richard > Noel
They are my demon, they are my soul. Through the good and the bad times they fill a hole. I hope one day I will be free, until that day the drugs are on me.
Not a huge fan of this song being played live compared to other songs on Urban Hymns, but this was special. The 'Come On noooows!' at the end were great. Beats the MTV version he did with McCabe.
Beautiful song no doubt! Great performance of a great band! Check the original tunes "better be home soon" of "crowded house" a band that has been underestimated in the 80's
It wasn't Mick and Keith who sued them, they had nothing to do with it, it was Allen Klein the manager of the Stones at the beginning of their career. He took advantage of The Stones contractually and owned the rights to their songs up until the early 70's. He was the one that sued the Verve. because it was a Mick and Keith composition, their names were added as co writer to Bitter Sweet Symphony but Klein through ABKCO owns the song. Klein was an asshole. Everyone agrees.
klien ,he must be a jew with a name like like that and of course money to be made out of other people,typical jew. richard ashcroft.........lives it as it is....lucky man is a all time favourite,passion
