Verve - This is Music

[JHDELIVERY22]

Richard Ashcroft what a lyricist :)

[melonheadgreg]

fuckin fantastic

[stephenmyers99]

A Northern Soul IS Verve's 'Classic'. True story.

[thechosen2010]

@stephenmyers99 A Storm In Heaven is better imo. But ANS is still a brilliant album.

[stephenmyers99]

@thechosen2010 The Sun, The Sea makes my hair turn grey, fall out and regrow as palm fronds...Good call...it IS a gud 'un..,hmmmnnnnn....*

[Triggerfinger98]

This IS Music

[dosometh1ngpretty]

His voice & attitude - that is why I love The Verve!

[fulltiltgonzales]

At the moment in time when they filmed this video, The Verve were the greatest, most effortlessly cool rock band on the planet.

[pokerman111111111111]

been on the shelf too long,jesus never saved me hell never save you too,love is a drug i dont need it

[thechosen2010]

Urban Hymns put them on a global scale, but songs like This is Music, Slide Away and History are the best. I love The Verve.

[nguyenk7]

0:48 fucking trippy

[Mochy01]

ano.. people do just associate them with bittersweet... but tbh, its up there with the best songs of the 90's

[Stunginger]

I love the Urban Hymns album,,,I was 12 in '95 when I dicovered The Verve....I love all their shit!

[thelessworld]

this IS music!

[natschavez]

track and a half, c'mon people

[blotchy67]

No UK band holds a candle to these guys except maybe The Who

[stuross74]

i think the who is a strange comparison...i think joy division are worth a mention...if you like this track then try joy divisions ''digital'' or ''transmission''

[ItsTouchAndGo]

i dont i think the majestic voice coupled with screaming guitars is a good comparision....tbh maybe led zep in terms of musical eccentricity

[replikantzero]

them crazy brits

[ffionsin]

absolutely brilliant!!

[isaicobain]

i'm 18 years old

and i wish i had my actual age

in the 90's just to enjoy their concerts ):

[deansheppard2008]

same here haha...onli im 4 years younger thn u:P

[TheBrownEyedLady]

Well i feel exactly the same as you!! and i'm even italian...so i am unluky twice!! eheh!! my dream is to see the stone roses live!!!

[ffionsin]

stone roses are brilliant! i was at spike island!! it was truly amazing!!

[TheBrownEyedLady]

noooo i damn envy you!! but in my own small way i'm happy cos i met the charlatans few months ago! :)

[ItsTouchAndGo]

im 18...i worship the 90's

but saying that ive still seen the verve twice(secc and t) oasis 3 times(hampden, secc, men arena), inspiral carpets, doves, charlatans once, primal scream twice(secc and t)....u can still see them

[ItsTouchAndGo]

+ to top that i met ashcroft in the good mixe in camden last year...top bloke got my photo and a bit of chat

[panese]

I was smack in the middle of it when I was 18 and saw them all lots of times and lucky enough to see a lot of the bands at small venues before they became massive

[isaicobain]

I officially hate you :(

[foook111]

That must of been epic, I would of rather seen them then, before Urban Hymns broke them into the mainstream.

[joey6590]

Says everything you need to know about this song in the title.

[mh001mh]

This is Music

[quikygreen]

Soooo good!

The Verve is a fuckin' great band.

Genius.

[ffmcracdcftw]

How do they make it sound so like psychadelic soundindg? just alot of distortion ?

[brock1857]

crank up the reverb, get some crunch, lower the tone and add a little delay and you got the sound to make music!!

[HarleyJohansson]

word!

[angelfly41]

also wha wha pedal with a little flanger, if you push the wha pedal right down add reverb and overdrive, check out funkadelics track MAGGOT BRAIN to hear it done proper thats where nicks influences are from.maybe u heard that song alreday?

[angelfly41]

they use so much echo and revereb and a wha wha and flanger.if you want to hear ehre nick is influenced by listen to funkadeleic maggot brain,what is soul &mama whats a funkadelis.the album with these tracks are amazin.enjoy

[brock1857]

yeaaa the tone in that song is amazing as well.

[nonnoboromiro]

solaio!!

[jonnystealth]

man this song starts out so raw.

[bichillina]

great

[TickleMeAdrian]

Great song =]

And yea lol it does sound like Bono just a tad at the beginning

[Frontalkick96]

love is noise!

[kumparica]

yeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!

[joshua1895]

Lucky Man

[snowman9318]

Cool song. I've also heard "bittersweet symphony" and "the drugs don't work".

Do they have any other songs like them that I should check out?

[JerzuRF]

There are many decent Verve songs. Listen to "This is Music: The Singles 92-98". Buy it, download, whatever... This is great introduction to the Verve

[snowman9318]

Thanks mate..I will

[brianjbabb]

Urban hymns stuff is awsome but check out the style in some of their early stuff. "sonic sound" they call it. Check out Slide Away and Blue. Great tunes!!!

[cyberduhh]

mate all the albums they made are 1st class it does not get any better than the verve

buy em download em listen too em there the best

[snowman9318]

Cool. I will

[ThayHybrid]

@snowman9318 Lucky Man, Sonnet, Love is Noise, On your own, History, Slide away Rather Be.... They have lots, and singles/album released after 1998 so check out other stuff too! :D

[easymelon2187]

@snowman9318 Star Sail and the sun is really good

[maciekomis]

if you dont pay attention it sounds a lot like U2. anyone?

[DILLANHEIL]

yeah defo. ashcroft sounds so much like bono at the beginnin of love is noise.

[gowandefrogs]

i cant stop listenin 2this!!!!!!!!!!!

[xlaydiirandomx]

these lyris are amazin so iz the guitar

true perfection

[ryanfatal]

lyricaly the best song ever. the first line nearly knocked me off my chair when i first it.

[Alargh]

In this video The Verve Look like Rolling Stones.

[dominoshoes]

they sound similar to the doors. true artists, livin for music

[Coldplayer77]

*****

[specialzool]

This guitar blows me away

[SplitScreenSamba]

lol at verve20s comment, and agreed.

best verve song imo

[junkyardangel]

Ashcroft has great hair and is ultra-sexy. this vid would be much better sans the chick...

[odladlanor]

insanely super fantastic i will take their music after diying even in the other world i will keep listening to this fucking marvellous music

[crimsonator]

Too bad a lot of people only know The Verve for Bittersweet Symphony. This stuff is some of their best work.

[LumierexCosmic]

But really! Sometimes I wish they'd "disown" the big hits like Bit. Symph and Drugs Don't Work, as good as they are. The psychedelic stuff is by far the best. Monte Carlo is my absolute fave. So underrated!

[sethbrody]

And Oasis for Wonderwall. outside the uk at least!

[sriwilai]

Finding myself used to be hard,but now i see the light, if love is a drug then i dont need it......

Never tire of hearing this song....

[Vervian1991]

I've been on the shelf too long,

Sitting at home on my bed too long.

Got my things and now i'm gone,

How's the world gonna take it???

These lads keep me alive!

[oblique65]

fuck ya... these lyrics are great1!@#!#@

[Verve20]

Whish I could look that cool when I come out of a lift

[MattJamesR]

They have some shit videos... Except for Bittersweet Symphony... But, still, they make wonderful music and is one of my favorite bands still to this day.

[SoundOfTheDrums]

[mono558]

It's a common sense in Japan.

[slideshowhero]

[sugaryourmind]

[LibertyShip]

I really LOVE this song.

[guifegaz]

[Amir3793]

Better than Bittersweet Symphony an underrated gem

[Alejandroalpha85]

You're right!!!!

[Verve20]
