The Verve - So Sister

[LizAZ08]

Thx, Leigh for the info. I will attempt to find it! Verve forever!

[LizAZ08]

Can't find this either in my library of all Ashcroft and Verve albums. I need this! Any help?

[LeighMichelle75]

@LizAZ08 - "So Sister" is a b-side on one of the CD singles of "Bitter Sweet Symphony". You might be able to get hold of the CD single on Ebay or Amazon.

[LizAZ08]

@LeighMichelle75 Ended up getting it at itunes, thx!

[rkidcd001]

@LeighMichelle75 i like the fact that they did 2 singles for Bitter Sweet,Drugs dont work,Lucky Man and History.

[paulgirard1980]

@LizAZ08 it's a b-side to Lucky Man. amazing song, should have been on an album

[paulgirard1980]

@LizAZ08 whoops...Bitter sweet symphony! yeah thats it!

[RICHIE69841]

@LizAZ08 i have it on cd (bitter sweet symphony) it,s your,s if u want it seriously,,,,,

[LizAZ08]

@RICHIE69841 Thanks anyway, I ended up buying it on itunes.

[JNAYTBable]

Best Richard's lyrics. So deep and poetic.

[mycomama]

Love it

such a gem



[Mrfuslas]

One of the best songs in my genre

[HreodbeorhtMorden]

Another exemplary B-side from Englands favourite emotion grinders. I find that the lyrics are poignant and Lord Ashcroft's harmony is as soulful as ever. The real jem in this is Mccabes guitar work which is nigh on genius, many may ask why was this track and other masterpieces in the same vain never released on an album, but herein lies the beauty of the verve, once the albums take a hold of your life you are only half way on your journey, a journey of enlightenment and emotion.

Fantastic song!!

[indoorsun]

My fav Verve tune

[wickedlady4180]

No dislikes. That's how I like to see it :p

[melvinceltic]

You know the quality of an artist when they have songs like this for b-sides

Greatest Verve B-Side anyone? This is up there for me, if not it........unless you class On Your Own acoustic as a b-sde, which personally I don't,,,,,,,but OYO acoustic is the greatest Verve song ever let alone fucking b-side..........

It amazes me how a kid with no pubes can get over 1 billion (yes, a billion, that is fact - JB) hits on youtube, yet this gets a paltry fucking 34,000........disgusting!

[indoorsun]

Fuckin love this tune man...Richard Ashcroft is an Angel!

[VampHammer1]

"This is for everyone who's Ma made made them wear a leather from St John's market." Thanks for that Richard. I was on it. Thousands wasn't.

[flanger24banane]

Once I found this Single in the far eastern part of germany - they sold it for some cents! Bought it - listened it - loved it! Especially the B-Side!

[VampHammer1]

It ecoes to this day... I wanna be buried to this tune. Or Burnt.. It ecoes to this day.

[VinceTheeMan]

Is it just me or does it sound like Train's 'Soul Sister' is a rip off of this classic Richard tune??

[zonikox]

[MrTerrell0110]

[Melosa2007]

ahhhhhh what would we do without the verve???

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

oh well said, i adore this song

[robrocks34]

richie a's lyrics  are just about as good as it gets. lyrically up there with the likes of dylan... perfect

[foreverashcroft]

you say it well, rob as always, what would we have done without ashcroft..

[BittersweetHistory]

I wrote your name in dust on a truck as it rolled out of town,

Just in case my love for you might be found.

I cried my tears in a mountain stream,

they'll sting you one day.

I called your name in a giant cave,

it echoes to this day.

Those lyrics, I don't think I should even try to explain how beautiful they are. Just sit and let your heart and soul soak up the melody, let your emotions roam free, and don't hide them.

[foreverashcroft]

love this song so much...it haunts me , the lyrics..so beautiful..

i cried my tears in a mountain stream

they"ll sting you one day

just so beautiful..

[iwantmycountryback72]

Richard,

Your music is like candy to my soul, dude!

THANK YOU!!!!!

[xxbittersweetsoulxx]

I like it! Sounds a lot like Richard's solo stuff, but I guess that's where it was all headed anyway...

[foreverashcroft]

[MrBigbadguy]

[lvmscinco]

Do love pictures at: 0:30 (RICHARD...PETER...), 0:55, 1:34, 1:46 (fabulous !), 2:42, 2;55, 3:18 (SIMON...), 3:33 ***

What a pity they split again !!! So much time passed alltogether... These great times they must have shared !! It's sad, like the end of love between two personns after a long long time...

Hope they could go beyond what make them broke their association ***

LOVE U GUYS §

LOVE is something, as RICH' sings it so deeply...

But FRIENDSHIP is also...

Should never end...

[maryline1971]

LYRICS PART 3: So sister, you're hearing how I miss her But I don't think that she's hearing my calls So sister, I need to be with her But I don't think that she's hearing my calls No I don't think that I'm helping my cause No I don't think that I'm helping my cause This song is highly emotionnal indeed *** I do apreciate it much more now than when i listen it first... Especially with the lyrics.... Love these guys alltogether, friendship and creation: that's great ***

[maryline1971]

LYRICS PART 2: I wrote our names on a subway wall Just in case you call I rent a room and its just for two But where are you? So sister, you're hearing how I miss her But I don't think that she's hearing my calls So sister, you're hearing how I miss her But I don't think that she's helping my cause No I don't think that it's helping my cause No I don't think that I'm helping my cause No I don't think that I'm helping my cause S

[OfficialMMcLaughlan]

One of the best B sides ever, 5 stars m8. Verve fans, you can listen to a new song I've recently wrote on my profile, similar style to The Verve's acoustic stuff. Cheers.

[wwillow1]

that comment is bollax ashcroft is an original

[carlos7217]

if u did'nt know any better u would swear Ashcroft is a yank cos he sounds American when he sings.....Nice tune though,great lyrics......!!!

[Zorg2006]

Have to admit it's the one thing I've always found a bit irritating about Ashcroft. I absolutely love his music, but that faux American accent is nauseating. You're from Wigan mate!

[wwillow1]

god not you has well..dont start him of about ashcroft...lol...lol

[carlos7217]

whats that about ashcroft,ur thinkin about him again arnt u,knew it.........lol....
