  • how good???????

  • great track

  • go ahead and dislike your "on your own"

  • Can anyone upload Monkey Magic? It's the only b-side from A Northern Soul that's not on here.

  • Just started to buy all the singles of the verve cos the b-sides are the best :)

  • Haunting and melodic, a real journey of angst and introspection but somehow the song progresses in such a way that it offers the listener glimmers of self-rejuvenation towards the end. Ashcroft's oscillating voice has so much raw emotion attached to it which I find is complimented brilliantly by McCabe's subtle tyet sublime guitar work. This is a real hidden classic not just for fans of the verve but for fans of real meaningful music. A masterpiece that conioussers will savour. Incredible!!!!

  • my fave verve song, absolute quality. never agreed with it just being a b-side though.

  • the verve are my favourite band with no contest, a storm in heaven is my favourite albumn of all time, but this song is stand alone, it's absaloubtly amazing, i can't even put it into words. the wailing distant guitar behind the jangling acoustic at the begining, the whole song creeps up on you, the chorus has such an impact... makes me sad they didnt release an albumn between northern soul and a storm in heaven with more stuff like this on! i love the verve.

  • Beautiful and sad. Love it

  • You know your old when you KNOW that you'll never hear a new / recent band write anyhing that comes close to this in terms of emotion!

  • @birchy007007 too true mate,at least we heard it when we were 15yrs younger tho

  • always the same - the b-sides are the best - more experimental, looser...

    love this tune.

  • the lyrics are actually genius

  • gods favourite band!

    my favourite song of all time

  • Man I need to listen to more Verve especially their B-sides. This is great stuff.

  • This song really moves me everytime I hear it! It doesn't deserve to be a b-side! It's even better than On Your Own imao!

    Towards the end I think it sounds quite similar to Weeping Willow. It's got a similar chord pattern

  • amazing.

  • pure gold.

  • It's almost like in the old days when you bought a 45 and it didn't say what is A or B side, so you didn't know which is which... It's that good!

  • I though i'd heard every verve song until i heard this one

    It's beautiful, suits on your own perfectly

  • Who does Richard Ashcroft think he is? Hiding away these beautiful & haunting melodies as a B-sides of The Verve singles. That's not fair! This is so B.E.A.U.T.F.U.L.

  • lmao! agree.

  • @dosometh1ngpretty don't be mad at Richard Ashcroft cause it's not his fault that the Rolling Stones are A-Class ASSHOLES for destroying Verve. Because of Bittersweet Symphony the violins in the song was from the rolling stones so they sued them. So........

  • @19nimweypey97 it wasnt the stones bro...it was a composer who done it think his name was andrew loog or something like that

  • Just Pure music, Just VERVE

  • VIVA THE VERVE

  • pure amazing. checkout never wanna see you cry.

  • one of their greatest,! one of the all time greatest, F££king love this tune,

  • This is music.

  • Agreed, verve did some awesome b sides. This is one of my all time fave songs, and it's hidden away on a single.

    I also agree that Sci Fi Lullabies is an absolute classic. Would love to see a Verve equivalent.

    (It'll always be Verve to me, not The Verve)

  • I have seen things that I can't explain

    Looking in through that window pane

    Open your eyes and let me in

    Don't go to think that I don't care

  • es una de las canciones mas hermosas del mundo por exelencia

  • :) yup best ever 4 me endless life! eternal bliss!

  • favourite favourite

  • Just amazing - so simple yet so powerful.

    The Verve did some quality B-sides.

    Have you heard Echo Bass? What a song!

  • If you want quality b sides check out suede's b side album sci fi lullabies. These b sides wouldent even make that suede album and i am not joking.

  • Having not heard the Suede b-side album you speak of I cannot comment, but Brett Anderson couldn't tie Ashcrofts shoe laces - fact!

  • what a pointless discussion. verve is verve and suede is suede.

  • thnxs stanbass yet annother great song of the verve,  thnxs man

  • Georgeous song

  • my favourite Verve song.

  • TOP DRAWER

  • if they put somemore work into it, it will be a fuckin great song

  • masterpiece

  • why have i not heard this song before?!?! fk me this is awesome. i own every album but havent heard this b4. i feel ashamed. this is beautiful

  • Yeah this was a brilliant b-side to 'On your own' i think it was.

    Excellent, very haunting classic tune

  • u missed out my man. This was an anthem on my youth. If you haven't heard this have u heard other b-sides such as never wanna see you cry? There is a lot of Verve stuff out there if u look for it. Their b-sides were amazing

  • Beautiful song,good song,Verve song!!!

  • Bit of weeping willow at the end there

  • I love this song ! On you own is a classic (and history) but this is a superb gem on the b side to on your own.

  • I just love this song, The Verve are the greatest band in the world. All there music and all of Richards solo music has great depth and meaning.

  • I write you message,i just wanna be sure that the message was sent succesfully :)

    so yes?

  • This should have been on Northern Soul. Great song.

  • Richard Ashcroft is GOD expressing himself

  • the verve make me cum, piss, shit, bleed, and vomit with joy

  • i defo spunked at the gmex when they came on stage

  • Whats life without a scream Lord?????

  • Top b-side, just like most of them...

    Check out Back on my Feet again if you like this.

  • Yea, these two are my favorite B Sides of theirs.

  • beautiful song, check their earlier b sides or "no come down" lp for some similar stuff.
