I wander lonely streets Behind where the old Thames does flow And in every face I meet Reminds me of what I have run for In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you too will understand I've gotta tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand These feelings should not be in the man In every child, in every eye In every sky, above my head I hope that I know So come with me in bed Because it's you and me, we're history There ain't nothing left to say When I will get you alone Maybe we could find a room Where we could see what we should do Maybe you know it's true Living with me's like keeping a fool In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am me, so come on I'm thinking about history And I'm living for history And I think you know about me Cause I am And one and one is two But three is company When you're thinking about the things you do And you're thinking about the things you do I wanna tell you my tale How I failed in love and jumped out on my bail Do you understand? There's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's one thing that you might have missed And why am I going to A place that now belongs to you But you were weak, and so am I Let's make it up, let's even try To live today, so why not smile Don't dream away your life Cause it is mine, it is mine Is that a crime? Is that a crime? This life is mine But the bed ain't made It's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope Oh the bed ain't made But it's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope
@steve40092 Seriously iv seen The Roses at their peak (Blackpool Aug 89) they couldn't touch The Verve at theirs love both , but for me these were the best of the best and still Ashcroft solo now is unreal can you say that for Ian Brown? He's not even karaoke good
Por qué para bien o para mal aquí estoy yo aceptando mis errores las veces que lo haga jamás querré demostrar lo que no soy porque soy sincero porque soy real chido con defectos y virtudes jamás he tratado de engañar a nadie mi presentación es está mi placa es está mi identificación es esta por qué yo jamás trataré de engañar a nadie que y si alguien le caigo mal pues qué malo o qué bueno porque a mí no se me da la hipocresía soy quien so y eso nadie lo cambiará no tienes que ser ni agradar a nadie solo tienes que vivir tu vida como tú lo sientas amigo qué te pasa amigo o quieres que hable palabras bonitas para que me aceptes y si lo hiciera y me aceptarás qué pasaría o que me mandarías un ramo de rosas o qué
This song is a masterpiece I listen to it over and over I truly wish these guys would get back together come on lads oasis have done it come on create more masterpieces the world needs you 💙
When you understand the reason why he wrote this song, it just makes it that more beautiful and the fact that he's able to sing it with such incredible emotion, it's beyond me how he got through this. I'm 53 and I remember listening to this as Radio 1 broadcast it live. I would have loved to have been there that night.
Testament to Nick McCabe's guitar wizardry that he can replace an entire string section with his slide guitar playing and it doesn't sound like anything's missing.
It was an amazing night and the venue made it….we must have walked a mile to the gates through a woodland drive way with those painted human statues along the route….no phones no mither just everyone enjoying The Verve and their achievement with this mega homecoming gig
No entiendo nada en esta vida todo es un engaño sus vidas son amedias por la razón de que la otra mitad hayan dejado entrar a el mismo demonio quien dirige sus vidas y es como una adicción reírse de quienes ustedes mismos atacan para sonreír para ser felices al igual que ella . Son malos sus vidas son dirigidas por pura maldad . En cuanto a eya jamás podríamos entendernos por yo soy enemigo de maldad del mismo diablo. No nececito ninguna ofensa para sentir el odio contra quienes son aliados de el mismo
Si tuviera poder me convertiría en el mismo Hitler pero de lado de dios eliminando a una gran parte de la población en este mundo .erradicando el poder y la fuerza de la maldad en este mundo. Cambiaría el planeta entero por el bien de la umanidad que hoy en día está podrido como verdad espiritual. Y tengan respeto por qué la vida no depende de ustedes mismos. Depende de mi padre y mi padre podría traer espada por gente como ustedes
All the online lyrics to this unbelievable song are wrong .. they say the line is.. "reminds me of what I run for " When it's actually "reminds me of what I've longed for.." that should be set right as it's a great line from one of the greatest songs of all time. Imo
Why did they censor Richard Ashcroft's remarks before the song starts? The whole "It's about love, it's about people with love" makes more sense when you hear those words in context.
BITTER SWEET LOVE STORY; The woman Verve idol Richard Ashcroft publicly ripped in to at a concert this week reveals why she dumped him for a pal .. and why he can't forgive.
HE is a rock idol with the world at his feet. The hero had returned, and Verve singer Richard Ashcroft gloried in the adulation of 33,000 fans when he played his home town of Wigan. But for one woman in the crowd at Sunday night's concert, Richard's triumphant homecoming was a bitter-sweet experience. Sarah Carpenter, 26. was the brooding singer's first love - and it was the end of their love affair that inspired some of his most moving lyrics. Even now Richard cannot hide his bitterness that Sarah left him for one of his closest friends. As he introduced the song, History, written about their split, he lashed out at his former sweetheart. In front of thousands of fans, he blurted: "Despite what you think, this isn't about you. You know who you are, you snide f*****. This song's about love and peace." It was a painful, shocking moment for Sarah, who remains one of Verve's biggest fans. For although their lives could not be more different, Sarah has never regretted leaving the star for the band's former roadie, Andy Burke. It was Andy who comforted her when she discovered she could not live with the singer's new-found celebrity. "I know people must think I am mad, but I was never cut out to be a rock star's girlfriend," says Sarah. "I wanted to be Sarah in my own right, not 'Richard Ashcroft's girlfriend'. "I could be living in a half a million pound house with a man who is an idol to millions. But I made the decision that I would rather be me first, rather than a pop star wife."
EVEN now, as the band basks in worldwide success with their album, Urban Hymns, Sarah has no regrets. A computer student, she lives in a cramped one bedroom flat in Wigan while Richard is worshipped by millions of fans and has recently bought a pounds 500,000 country estate in Gloucestershire. Two years ago, he secretly married Kate Radley, keyboard player in indie band Spiritualised. It is a world away from the first time she set eyes on the gangly teenager at Winstanley College where they were both studying for A-levels. "It was the Freshers' Ball. He was just this weird looking lad, dead striking. He was really thin with a huge Adam's apple, black slicked-back hair and a long beige mac. "I found him compelling, but I didn't fancy him though." But Richard had other ideas. The gangly 17-year-old was too nervous to ask her for a date and got a female friend to pass on the message. "Even then I just laughed it off," says Sarah. But soon she fell for his charms - and they began a relationship that would last six years. "He was completely out of the ordinary," she says. "He wasn't educationally intelligent and he didn't read loads of book or anything. He was more spiritual. "Physically, he was unusual too. Someone once said to me Richard was either incredibly beautiful or incredibly ugly. To me, he was handsome. "He looked arrogant, but really it was just confidence. He could be quite shy and other times really outgoing. And he had a wicked dry sense of humour." As penniless students, they were often so hard-up that all they could afford to do was take long walks together. When they did have money, Richard would spend it on his record collection or on tickets for their favourite band, the Stone Roses. Richard's outlook was different from other lads his age, says Sarah. "He believed anything was possible. "All the kids went to school, to university. It was all mapped out. But Richard said it didn't have to be that way because things can happen in other ways. I think we opened each other's eyes. We taught each other a lot." But although he is now famous for his moving lyrics in songs like Sonnet and Lucky Man, Sarah said Richard was never a romantic. "He wasn't a sweet-talker or a charmer," she says
He didn't communicate very well when it came to relationships. WE were very young, but I knew that he loved me because he used to tell me." When Richard formed Verve at college, Sarah was their biggest fan - but soon discovered that the band had become his first love, and she his second. "You got this feeling that one day he was going to be famous because he believed it so much. He just had that something about him. "But soon I realised that the love of his life was the band, not me." When they finished their course, Richard headed for the dole queue so he could concentrate on music while Sarah took a temporary job as a waitress. They moved into a flat above a chemists in Orrell Post, Lancs where Sarah, worried about his gangly frame, tried to feed Richard up. "He was all skin and bone, so when I worked at a hotel I used to bring home left-over dinners, but it never worked." Richard's big break came when the band performed a showcase concert in Manchester. Within 24 hours, Hut Records boss Dave Boyd had them signed up and the money started coming in. But it made no difference to Richard. "He was a completely free spirit," says Sarah. "He didn't care how much he had in his pocket. He was the most irresponsible person I have ever known when it came to money. "It certainly wasn't his motivation. He wanted to be recognised as an artist." But if the cash made no difference, his growing fame DID start to turn Richard's head. "He started having loads of people around him, telling him how wonderful he was," Sarah says. "He was going away on tours more and more, and I wanted the attention." In her despair, Sarah turned to Verve roadie Andy Burke. She cried on his shoulder, often confiding how left out she felt. "Andy started to take care of me while Richard was busy. We hit it off immediately. BECAUSE they'd grown up together, all the points I had loved about Richard were there with Andy. "We both realised we were falling for each other, but tried to deny it. We were soul mates. "But I was never unfaithful." Eventually Richard confronted his girlfriend. "He phoned and said, 'What's going on between you and Andy?' I said, 'Nothing' because nothing had happened. But Richard kept shouting, and slammed the phone down on me." That phone call, in the summer of 1995, was the last time they spoke. The split sent Richard into a spiral of despair and depression. He went missing, refusing to tell anyone where he was. Instead, he channelled his pain into emotion-packed songs which appear on their Number One album, Urban Hymns. His bitter side-swipe on Sunday night hurt Sarah deeply. "Friends told me he hated me and never wanted to see me again," she says. "He thought I was manipulative. He's never really forgiven me, although he is still friends with Andy. It hurt me when a friend told me Richard didn't want me at the concert, but there was no way he was going to stop me." Even so she was shocked by his outburst. "He was playing the spoilt pop star. It's gone to his head. I don't know what his problem is, but he obviously won't let it drop. "To say that in front of a packed auditorium makes it difficult to remember him fondly." Now their life together is just a memory. "When he was up on that stage, Richard seemed very distant," she says. "Not like the man I spent six years of my life with."
It's just not in this clip of the concert. It is in there in the DVD release of this concert that came with the 20th Anniversary Edition of Urban Hymns. I uploaded it to my channel.

One of the best songs ever written. Very under rated
Fucking oath it is
Describes the whole journey of the lads.
❤❤❤
Good song but easy there son.
I was here , I live down the road. One of the best nights of my life.
Richard Ashcroft wrote some powerful songs. It took 25 years for me to appreciate his catalog of music.
This concert represented a band literally at the summit of a mountain. It had been many years in the making. Slippery slidey road down
True, it was a great night.
@@campervanman5340 It’s a great set although for me Frankfurt 94 is the best performance but I guess it wasn’t commercial enough for the masses
this is ace
I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run for
In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you too will understand
I've gotta tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in the man
In every child, in every eye
In every sky, above my head
I hope that I know
So come with me in bed
Because it's you and me, we're history
There ain't nothing left to say
When I will get you alone
Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you know it's true
Living with me's like keeping a fool
In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you know that I am me, so come on
I'm thinking about history
And I'm living for history
And I think you know about me
Cause I am
And one and one is two
But three is company
When you're thinking about the things you do
And you're thinking about the things you do
I wanna tell you my tale
How I failed in love and jumped out on my bail
Do you understand?
There's more in a smile than in a hand
In every sky, in every kiss
There's one thing that you might have missed
And why am I going to
A place that now belongs to you
But you were weak, and so am I
Let's make it up, let's even try
To live today, so why not smile
Don't dream away your life
Cause it is mine, it is mine
Is that a crime?
Is that a crime?
This life is mine
But the bed ain't made
It's filled full of hope
I've got a skin full of dope
Oh the bed ain't made
But it's filled full of hope
I've got a skin full of dope
This reminds me of a good friend that passed away 2 tears ago. We used to listen to this song alot. R.I.P Chris.
Best version of this song by a huge margin, just a shame they can't get along, still we live in hope 🙏
likewise the roses, two of the best bands ever at their peak
@steve40092 Seriously iv seen The Roses at their peak (Blackpool Aug 89) they couldn't touch The Verve at theirs love both , but for me these were the best of the best and still Ashcroft solo now is unreal can you say that for Ian Brown? He's not even karaoke good
Just like the song mentions, some things will just not survive.
@@johnosullivan954 indeed
Por qué para bien o para mal aquí estoy yo aceptando mis errores las veces que lo haga jamás querré demostrar lo que no soy porque soy sincero porque soy real chido con defectos y virtudes jamás he tratado de engañar a nadie mi presentación es está mi placa es está mi identificación es esta por qué yo jamás trataré de engañar a nadie que y si alguien le caigo mal pues qué malo o qué bueno porque a mí no se me da la hipocresía soy quien so y eso nadie lo cambiará no tienes que ser ni agradar a nadie solo tienes que vivir tu vida como tú lo sientas amigo qué te pasa amigo o quieres que hable palabras bonitas para que me aceptes y si lo hiciera y me aceptarás qué pasaría o que me mandarías un ramo de rosas o qué
October 2024 😢❤❤❤❤
Oh Lord... I can hear the pain in my heart ... I can call it "history"❤
This song is a masterpiece I listen to it over and over I truly wish these guys would get back together come on lads oasis have done it come on create more masterpieces the world needs you 💙
💯💯💯💯
My son is called Blake because of this song (and because my wife loves William Blake's poetry), we couldn't agree on any other name.
This man is a legend
Their best song
This is a beautiful version of History.
Was at this concert..unbelievable
"I've gotta tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand"
Aquí estoy, escuchando en bucle una de las mejores canciones que he oído en mi vida
This dude can sing!
The man is a 1 in a million keep on keeping on keep on keeping strong just dont forget the blues?
They sound so good live, is voice is so good , another great band we all want to get back together if they could sort their issues out.
if you notice there s no camera, no mobiles!!!! pure concert!!!
I don't know what is 8t about this live version that I keep coming back to.
When you understand the reason why he wrote this song, it just makes it that more beautiful and the fact that he's able to sing it with such incredible emotion, it's beyond me how he got through this.
I'm 53 and I remember listening to this as Radio 1 broadcast it live. I would have loved to have been there that night.
Best version/performance of History IMO
This song is the perfect definition of the word "sehnsucht."
Testament to Nick McCabe's guitar wizardry that he can replace an entire string section with his slide guitar playing and it doesn't sound like anything's missing.
One of the greatest songs ever written!!
This song can literally bring me to tears it’s untouchable
This song would never die, so The verve
Simply perfection 🎸🎶
or drugs dont work, both absoloute A**
Who could possibly give that a thumbs down...total bam...
Muppets
It was so much better then and im sad i never got to experience it, not a single phone in sight, everyone is in the moment
It was an amazing night and the venue made it….we must have walked a mile to the gates through a woodland drive way with those painted human statues along the route….no phones no mither just everyone enjoying The Verve and their achievement with this mega homecoming gig
Great song thanks Richard

A computer student, she lives in a cramped one bedroom flat in Wigan while Richard is worshipped by millions of fans and has recently bought a pounds 500,000 country estate in Gloucestershire.
Two years ago, he secretly married Kate Radley, keyboard player in indie band Spiritualised.
It is a world away from the first time she set eyes on the gangly teenager at Winstanley College where they were both studying for A-levels.
"It was the Freshers' Ball. He was just this weird looking lad, dead striking. He was really thin with a huge Adam's apple, black slicked-back hair and a long beige mac.
"I found him compelling, but I didn't fancy him though."
But Richard had other ideas. The gangly 17-year-old was too nervous to ask her for a date and got a female friend to pass on the message.
"Even then I just laughed it off," says Sarah.
But soon she fell for his charms - and they began a relationship that would last six years.
"He was completely out of the ordinary," she says. "He wasn't educationally intelligent and he didn't read loads of book or anything. He was more spiritual.

"He looked arrogant, but really it was just confidence. He could be quite shy and other times really outgoing. And he had a wicked dry sense of humour."
As penniless students, they were often so hard-up that all they could afford to do was take long walks together.

"But soon I realised that the love of his life was the band, not me."
When they finished their course, Richard headed for the dole queue so he could concentrate on music while Sarah took a temporary job as a waitress.
They moved into a flat above a chemists in Orrell Post, Lancs where Sarah, worried about his gangly frame, tried to feed Richard up.
