      funkyyaya The Rolling Stones wrote the intro (on the recorded version).. therefore they had the rights to this song up until this year. They relinquished the rights and now Richard Ashcroft will get all the royalties from now on. I think this is correct, I apologise in advance if I’m not.

      I dont believe it was the intro that the Stones "apparently" wrote. It's supposed to sound like "this will be the last time" by the Stones if sped up. It's all a load of bollocks that the Stone's manager claimed, and poor Richard and the Verve lost the battle, but have now won the war.

      Evan Dralle I enjoy this stripped down version, as well as the outdoor festival in front of thousands upon thousands of people version. It’s such an amazing song so either arrangement works for me. ✌🏼🤘🏼

      Evan Dralle check this one out as well. When Richard goes into the Rolling Stones “This could be the last time” tag near the end makes me smile knowing the royalties dispute has finally been corrected.

    As fine wines mature in taste and complexity , Richard’s voice has inflections that only time and life can create. An artist that is at the top of their game . Truly it’s lighting in a bottle that reminds us how real music can be….

      It sounds good - but sadly the last singer I heard with this much rasp in their voice was Harry Nilsson after he ruptured his vocal chords recording with John Lennon.......he recovered, but was never the same singer again. Hope that Richard Ashcroft is looking after his vocal chords!!

    A great song? The test, is how good it sounds with you and just an acoustic. Richard proves this 100% this is all about the human condition. Richard had his finger on the pulse when he wrote this. Never mind the strings or The Rolling Stones. The song stripped down reveals how great the song is, and yeah, the lyrics are brilliant. We all live this one folks.

The band's groove, Richard's performance with all it's nuances and dynamics all in aural display! The original is so slick and processed and much of this is lost in it. This is LIVE music, where the SOUL is the most prominent instrument! So freaking AWESOME!! Kudos Richard and band! Rock on!!👍👍👍

    • @j.q.3334
      @j.q.3334 4 года назад

      ​@@ed897 You correlate the possibility of the existence of such a thing as natural beauty to the occurence of only two attributes, i.e. make-up and hair colour. I cannot agree with such a two-dimensional outlook on the world. Her beauty lies in such things as the way she smiles and moves to the (brilliant) music. These cannot be faked, and thus pure. Make-up though, in my opinion, can be faked, actually, it is the essence of fake. It therefore is not a variable to be considered in the endeavor of determining whether or not a person is beautiful.
