@Colleykins, I was in total agreement with you until your last sentence. First you are saying that music is subjective and there's no need to criticize, then you go on to call some of the music today, "shit". Sounds to me like criticism.
@Colleykins Total agreement with you mate. There are so many critics of his solo work but all I know is there is something about his solo work that I always go back to no matter how much other music I listen to in between. Something about it makes me feel there is at least one person in the world who understands how I'm feeling!
RPA always IS the high road have u noticed? critics, stones, legal drones nobody can touch his truth integrity! he's lyrically musically breaking the darkness with sound and colour one song at a time - creating a new world without all the bs negativity - just being real, inspiring evolution. isn't it great being consciously 'outta the box' stepped out of the illuminati matrix machine, Lovin' appreciating him and his awesome music. me celebrating his immense gift to our world and you all in it!
shit this is a wicked version, never heard this version, Ashcroft is a total legend at odds with the world yet a poet lyrical master and voice of our age. I agree with Colleykins, the music today is awful, souless drivel sung by kids with no REAL experience of life. Look no further that this for the meaning of LEGEND
thats whack that the rolling stones got 100% of the $ for bittersweet symphony. something more like 20% would be fair I think.
anyways, richard ashcroft is great. but he should stop seeing himself as such a disturbed person and use his insight to become really happy and free. then his music would be amazing rather than just good.
Love this video; I love his music, his inspiration that he has given me dealing with my "own depression". I love his music & writing. So many want to simulate his music to the Beatles; yes there is the quality there; however he is his own creativity, how hard would it would be to be even close to his world
I don't think Ashcroft needs Chris Martin to introduce him. Ashcroft is a master, and Martin's just a lucky mediocre who got commercial success because the public is too oblivious to recognize Ashcroft's music
Not sure. But Chris Martin pretty much introduced Richard as a musical genius at one of their shows. I think, and don't quote me, that Chris said Bittersweet Symphony was the most genius song ever written.
He only wrote the words .... if you listen to Andrew Loog Oldham's version of "The Last Time" you'll understand. So, yes, it's a great song, but the signature riff and production wasn't Richard's I'm afraid.
This is a beautiful song. Richard rocks. I love this song. Althought he left the Verve. Reminds me of 'Sunny Afternoon.'. This was released in 2006, I love it so much
I think Ashcroft and the whole Verve early albums were wrongly involved with the whole grunge outfit that was happening in the states, and again wrongly treated by the the UK press as "different" To be honest i think one of the greatest bands to come out of Britain since the Joy division days, But change is bad in Britain nowadays! Everyone too scared to put their balls on the line and say anyone is good incase it comes back to bite them on the arse! But what do i know?
Io che sia uno dei cantanti più bravi del mondo! E i Verve hanno segnato e segnano ancora la storia della musica alternative/rock... Richard è un grande musicista e come ho detto prima un bravissimo cantante
In all of his songs I find myself at the end of it before I actually realise that once again... I haven't taken in a single thing. I've been so deeply drawn into his voice that I don't hear his words. And then I replay it.
i know that he is the singer of verve,verve is also a fascinating band.but i think his music is influenced from oasis.this doesn't reduce his value as an artist
si tio eso yo tambien espero lo malo es que aqui en peru no conocen mucho a este man ni a su grupazo the verve...al menos ya encontre a alguien que si le gusta :D
That's not to mention that Ashcroft makes music and has an amazing voice, whereas Liam in my opinion is a rock version of manufactured pop star. Singing Noel's songs, playing tamborine (!!!) and "being the rock star" - that's about it really.
noel is the power behind oasis...liam will probably a left over without him...as he allready is...though i must admit some songs like supersonic wouldn't be in my means a rock anthem without liam's voice..
brilliant choone love this song, ashcroft is a legend n has inspired me so much in the past and now! keep on goin mr ashcroft the world needs u to bring some sanity bck to music lol! peace out x
Fools they think I do not know, the road I'm taking.... If you meet me on the way, hesitating...That is just because I kow which way I will choose...These are the best lyrics ever!!!!
this song is one of the best iv ever heard,its a about depression when he says mom thinks you are the clown makes me feel sad,such great word dont hear it much on the radio 5 stars
i'm listening ashcroft for 2 weeks since now without a single pause. i thik i'm sick. :)) too bad that verve and richard ashcroft are so underestimated. he deserve the respect he should have for writing these timeless and full of emotions beautiful songs.
He's one hell of a musician. That's a term that's hard to use with 90% or more of the artists out there. In fact, it's almost to the point where's an insult to call them "artists". Richard is the exception to the rule anymore!
A lot of people can relate to this song I should say. Everything Ashcroft seems to put out really grabs you and makes you realize you're not alone. Whether its w/ The Verve or solo. Too bad people seem to know more of Oasis and not this guy. Simply not enough credit.
Just bought this cd. It's in my top ten. Love this song SO much. He is inspiring and makes me dance around my house. Thx, Richard!
