  • Its such a simple song but I love it <3

  • i miss the 90's but maybe its time to live the present

  • is this the original track? the sound quality is pretty low, the vocals are barely heard, like the mix is not final. I love this song by the way.

  • "A careful man tries to dodge the bullets, while a happy man takes a walk" So true...

  • Nice. 

  • this is the beautiful light at the end of the tunnel that is ESB. And its a pretty bright light at that.

  • this song always make me feel so tingly and weird, in a good way. whenever i feel sad or lonely, i know mr.E will always be there for me. his music speaks straight to my heart.

  • Coldplay are soul less drips.

  • If it weren't for Shrek, I would've never discovered them.

  • @KnHappyCamper LOL me to!!!

  • just discovered this band. i cant wait till i re-up so i can smoke to this song

  • E wrote this album right after his sister committed suicide, against his labels warning not to

  • @jasonb123go

    Then the label ehard it and loved it! If you ahven't read it I'd highly recommend Es autobiography - Thin gs the grandchildren should know. You can even get an audio version read by the chet :-D

  • 12 sick and sober hours from midnight to midday in a freezing glasgow station. Worth it to see my all time favourite human being on stage.

  • Amazingly powerful lyrics, and what makes it so special is that such hopeful lyrics finish an otherwise quite bleak album. The hopeful undertone of this song overpowers all gloom in the other tracks. "A careful man tries to avoid the bullets, while a happy man takes a walk... Maybe it's time to live". Amazingly powerful lyrics which have given new courage to me on several occasions.

  • this song was talking about in the book "if i stay" by Gayle Forman. I love the song and the book. both r very touching

  • Fuck, the Eels are underrated. Solid track

  • One of my favorite songs of all time.

  • I was at a funeral the day i realized

    I wanted to spend my life with you

    Sitting down on the steps at the old post office

    The flag was flying at half mast

    And i was thinking 'bout how

    Everyone is dying

    And maybe it is time to live

  • best album ever

  • i want this song played at my funeral. solemn, beautiful, but full of hope. a work of musical genius

  • I don't think it's a stretch to guess that this song has saved more than a handful of lives.

  • LOVE THE WORDS.

  • One of the best songs ever...

  • It *is* time to live.

  • This song comes as a sort of relief after such a dark album!

    I'm going to see Eels live in France in August 2010 and I can't wait to see them!

  • @lyonslaforet Wowww you lucky person! Wish I was in France in August, ahaha :) And yeah I know, it's lovely x

  • @lyonslaforet hoe was the concert? :O

  • @extreem573 It was the best concert of the festival after Roxy Music. But I think I'd prefer to see E in a room rather than a festival. There were different kinds of songs and atmospheres and it's obvious E had to reduce them. In a room, his gig would be more "complete"!

  • @lyonslaforet y, i know what you mean :D

  • @lyonslaforet You never told us how it went! :)

  • @drowsynumbness Well it was very good but it's the kind of show that would have been more appropriated in a room than in a festival.

  • 'and i was thinking about how everyone is dying, and maybe it's time to live.' BEAUTIFUL I want this to be played at my funeral when i die

  • zajebioza

  • What a great track.

  • I absolutely love this song.

  • amazing song.

    "And maybe it is time to live"

  • im not into this type of music but this is a really beautiful song

  • Very very beautiful song........

    It's pretty simple, but the lyrics are clearly.

    The stringed instruments makes the emotional feeling much stronger.

    I really love songs with stringed instruments into....

    The Verve is also one of my favorites.

    It gives a very strong emotion.

    Same as (Original) piano sounds, like the older Coldplay songs.

    There were enough moments they moved me close to tears.

    Thanks for sharing this great track!

  • I love Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve :)

    Ohh and I love Coldplay, I went and saw them at Manchester on September 12th - they played some of their older songs such as Fix You and The Scientist then.

    You're very welcome :)

  • Ah, great...........the X&Y album was also a masterwork....same as their '02 and '00 album.

    My favorite Verve song is Lucky man, from '99.

    But I'm affraid they can't take their earlier fame back with their last song they launched (''Love is noise'') It's a nice song.....but I really miss the emotions that the bitter sweet symphony, The drug don't work and Luckyman gave me during listening.....

    Now bands like Editors and White Lies give me that dark emotional feeling back.

    Greetings: Jay

  • Oh yeah, Love is Noise was alright, but I never really got into it or bothered buying the single.

    I love White Lies :) Funny you should say them, they were one of the supporting acts at Coldplay. They were really good, but sadly everyone was waiting for Coldplay and knew that we had about two hours to wait so the crowd wasn't really responsive. Bit dissapointing really, they were much better than Jay-Z and he had loads of response.

    Nice to talk to you Jay :)

  • @43447 Lucky Man by The Verve is on Urban Hymns which was released in 1997 and not in 1999.

  • @lyonslaforet Yeah,.............you're right, I think I had a misunderstanding when I wrote that comment.

    Normally years of recording are not any problem for me.

    I know them (almost ;) ) all............

    Remercie pour la réaction, et la correction!

    Saluer des Pays-Bas.

    Jay

  • @43447 '97. sonnet is pretty good too

  • @playerdepimp Yes I know man.... Thnx!

  • @43447 omg sorry i noticed everyone corrected you lol my bad dude i guess everyone here is whats left of the younger verve fans I'm 17 people i know say "wtf is a verve?" lol urban hymns tracks and b-sides are the best song they made.

  • @laurenjoygibbins sorry not in the same league love

  • The most beautiful song ever written. Ever.

  • I agree, completely.

  • @JAStewart True, together with most Electro Shock Blues.

  • beautiful way to end a sad record.

  • yeah, i got the album a couple of weeks back and it's well depressing :| but this is by far my favourite track.
