The Verve - This time

[Mindphaser76]

Beautiful song. Urban Hymns is one of those classic timeless albums that speaks to people emotionally and spiritually.

[JustMe8485]

For sure Ashcroft had to have been going through some kind of inner struggle with himself, to write something like this. In this tune, he accurately and perfectly paints a picture of someone depressed and nearly hopeless. It's made me break down sobbing, this song. Then I read the comments, and I see I'm not the only one who's been knocked out by it. This Time is all about your tired, beaten and bruised guardian angel who refuses to give up.

[chidoTV]

6 people are f-ing deaf.

[reluctant0soul]

THIS SONG HAS BE BOUT GROWING UP...GOTTA TAKE THE UPS WITH THE DOWNS...SUCH LIFE IS...

[buffenbison]

so good I got chills, in my opinion the most inspirational track on urban hymns, richard crafted such a positive song here

[hoofhearted1212]

[harrison1828]

[TonyDG16]

This has got to be about heroin

[MrVoodoosid]

This is my 2nd favorite song of all time, and Ive heard thousands of songs. I want it played at my viewing.

[georgeforemanisready]

loved the way the way they sampled 'The Hand Clapping Song' by 'The Meters' on this track. Allways wish they had given the outro a longer fade so you could appreciate the intricate production a little more.

[cchulmes666]

nothing about the verve sucks.the only thing that sucks is that they are no more!!!!!

[churiburi3]

desde hace años no paro de escucharla!!!

[playerdepimp]

i cant stop listening to the intro

[MrVoodoosid]

5 people r just stupid. Great song!

[TheLindenlaan]

Like the Verve so much!

[playerdepimp]

One of the best from urban hymns, the intro is so futuristic

[romanshirker]

why don't you cry to your mama then



[justinblainelacewell]

This song sucks...

[TheGingerDinger]

@justinblainelacewell maybe you just suck.

[AcctNo4]

speed is wrong- too slow

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[DLSings]

@MrMLD72MLD :)

[northernswagga]

when the shit in life gets hard to bear i pop them earphones in take a breath and a stroll,this song sorts it,sometimes you just gotta humble yourself.

[stroketheboat]

@northernswagga good stuff, fella :)

[TheDok1978]

This song so resembles me at this moment in time. it pulls you through when ur slipping again though

[Joanna1990D]

it's beautiful to see that The Verve songs have touched the hearts of so many other people beside me. Words can't expres what I fell when I listen to Urban Hymns.

[porifio]

one of my most favorite albums ever! coming from a die hard hip hop fan. scratch that, i am simply just a die hard good music fan.

[domk77]

MINT AS A POLO

[dreck93]

so spiritual song, true that the man has found god

i'll start to pray in my mind listening this song

hope

[fishoutofwasser]

@dreck93 It's got nothing to do with some primitive concept of god at all. You're talking bollocks!

[dreck93]

@fishoutofwasser its an expression, a picture

[0113L]

amazing 

[conzj484]

the second chorus just blows you away

[waymondo1955]

just something about this that drives me on. It really strikes a chord. gotta be careful wen i play it or i start blubbering ! lol

[babylonkid]

I bought this album around 98'. I was 19. While every one was playing commercial garbage I was playing this and my friends would talk shit. Morons never got it. Takes a lot of people a lot of years to mature, open up, and hear some thing the puppet masters dont play for you. I force fed every one around me real music. When ever you sat in or around me you heard Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, Aphex Twin, Limp Bizkit, Van Halen, Megadeth, The Lox, Canibus, Alice in Chains, Candlebox, ATB, Incubus.....

[GollyWogCum181]

@babylonkid Cool limp bizkit.... Yea you're friends are morons too

[jezzablack100]

Cant even sum this tune up in words, heard it the first time earlier in years and broke down.

Aways have an overwhelming feeling of sadness which for some reason turns to joy by the end of the tune.

It seems to make sense of anxiety and how we all have to learn by our mistakes,

Life is the hardest thing that were all gonna do, it might not have a happy beginning but can have a happy ending!

Richard Ashcroft is a pure Genius nothing but respect for ya Fella!

[jafrocubic2]

I think it is easily their best song! It touches something in me. I'm truthfully not some huge fan of the band. I like them, just not a huge fan. But this song is just something different altogether. There are just those songs that go beyond our realm. They reach a barrier and then burst right through them. This song has an intensity and value behind it that pushes itself into a deep place within me and many others I have spoken to. Thank God for good, heart-felt, real music.

[whitewedge]

Love this song absolutely timeless, best song on the album for me.

A poxy 71134 views is shocking!!

[dekulink100]

yes,this song is my favorite and bitters sweet symphony yes the verve is magic and his songs active your emotions and for my are bad times now you are my hero tranks for this song

[showtimescott]

[playerdepimp]

[Psgurl90069]

OMG! I used to play this song over and over back in the "day" and it was instant blood rush to my brain. This song filled my heart with so much. It was my mantra! Thanks for posting!

[louisehill85]

I haven't listened to this album since 1997 when it got stolen out of my school ruck sack at high school - but I've never forgotten this song. Finally I've got round to finding it tonight :)

[mrcurtinmaker]

This song is so good. If your reading this comment then your listening to it. If your listening to it smile, because your experiencing something special, which many people will not have the good fortune to stumble across, or much worse the abilty to appreciate

[SinPerdon82]

Una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, gracias The Verve

[flyvibe71]

so hard to choose a favorite of this amazing album, but i'd have to say this is mine. hard decision though. verve, please reform and give us some more of this greatness!

[4acid]

i listened to this album alot years back really helped me with my depression is funny how songs can help u thru bad bad times but i think ashcroft knew what to write and song to trigger off those emotions and himself suffereing with mental depression think he knew how certai people would feel so powerful and emotional this has a special place in my heart!!

[sonnihoney]

[playerdepimp]

[playerdepimp]

[jamesgdavies2]

[7lartceps]

Fantastic track, this album helped me out a lot back in the day.

[philbio66]

@7lartceps

Did it get you through some bad times?

[7lartceps]

Well I can definately relate to the lyrics and I used to listen to the album a lot when I had bad depression.

[Pyroman1990]

@7lartceps 1997/98?

[dirtybiskit]

OH MY GOD!!!!!FUCKIN TUUUUNE!!!!

[barravelli]

Beautiful picture. Notice how Nick is facing away from the other bandmembers, face to face with Ashcroft himself.

[foreverashcroft]

[holcs]

[MegaNetsurfer]

[JasonHFY]

Words can't express how much this song means to me...

Genius.

[acdcacbc]

your face is genius!!! o wait... thats a compliment

[hoogmonster]

Every year I read the last 100 lines of Dante's Paradiso (where he enters heaven) to my students and this song always springs to mind. Then i end up choking tears of joy on the last few lines and my students think I'm a soft git. Maybe next year I'll play this in the background - see how THEY like that chicken soup for the soul! Cracking song.

[y1neo]

hey whats this book you speak off

[SuperPineapple99]

k i guess

[jafrocubic]

Amazing song - the arrangements, the way it builds. This is easily my favorite song by them. Perhaps one of the best of its time. Strangely, not many people I've talked to about this group have ever paid it much mind. Uplifting stuff.

[onebeforedinner]

@jafrocubic I remember this album came out right before I started jr high, and this was my favorite song on the album, but now i'm 25 and my favorite one is weeping willow, but I love this one just as much.

[inselaffe1967]

Reminds me of sitting up on the pennines looking down on Manchester in the distance...feel alive.

The Verve are truly LEGENDS! Northern boys love graaaaaaaavy :)

[chinoh411]

I love this song,I'm so wet

[yermanno13]

loved this album since i was about 11.

this song should have been released as a single.

a classic!

[alcantara1899]

this song is great

[yobmax]

This song was my favorite, when I was high school sutudent. It often encouraged me.

I listen to it now. It's also very important song for my life. I love it.

[DeanoS91]

Absolutely stunning tune, one of my favourite verve tracks

[zemilhozor]

absolutely
