A great deal of echo in this recording. If I ever a person felt down it was the writer of this song when he was inspired to make it. I think he was mourning. It is a mournful song. Such songs are important.
I don't really understand this Oasis vs The Verve discussion? Noel dedicated Cast no shadow to Ashcroft, and Ashcroft dedicated A northern soul to Noel. Seems like they have mutual respect for one another, and that's what really matters innit? Just enjoy the fucking tune, cheers!
Having watched this live performance, the sheer energy that can b sustained and delivered to ones soul after having a flavour of the verve is just immense,ur mind and soul are taking aboard a subterranean altitude, your emotions are just let loose, all those untied ends are all closed once the human brain is exposed to the 1 and only VERVE! Modern day blues, touch of pink floyd with ambient jazz! imagine the future woke up with a scream there was no verve, your buying some shitty album from HMV
brilliant, Just brilliant :) this is one of the best live versions ive heard that sound like the CD version. you can really feel what the lyrics mean when listening to it live. :) and im sure some if not all the lyrics relate to everyone in someway.
@bigSlide94 comon, can you honestly say that oasis were more talented then the verve they may have been more successful but just listen to the lyrics in there songs and you will truly see the genius richard ashcroft really is. hes one of the best son writers and the past 15 years. fact. it bugs me when we have young teeny pop stars who are multi millionaires and people think its good music. wrong. this is GOOD music and it will live on in peoples memorys.
Nah, it is shit compared to their other stuff. Ask the reast of the band other than ashcroft, they want to play proper music not the mickey mouse stuff that oasis play. Listen to their albums before urban hymns. A Storm in Heaven IS the best album ever made, none of these crap ballads. Thats not the verve, the verve is nick mccabe crashing in with guitars while richard ashcroft sings about drugs. I listen to the verve almost exclusively and trust me there are only three good songs on urban hymns
@bigSlide94 Oasis are in no way better than the verve, neither of the gallagher brothers are better songwriters than ashcroft and in nick mccabe verve have one of the best guitarists ever. Oasis make pop music, made for the radio, made to stand beside lady gaga and that rubbish, the verve (before urban hymns) made music that is for proper fans of music, not those who want pop tunes like wonderwall and DLBIA. Listen to proper verve like a man called sun.
@ejohnson670 I agree... I think Verve and Oasis should be compared to each other instead of Blur though. The Verve are a great band, Oasis just blow (sorry to anybody who likes them). Blur and Verve are the legends of the 90's.
Perfect song...no other words needed.
