this song brings me back to a great time in my life-97, 98. Listening to it now makes me feel terribly sad. Time is a strange thing because it's made of memories. And memories will always haunt our minds.
When morning breaks We hide our eyes and our love's aching Nothing's strange It was in our hands from 6 to 10 It slipped right out again There'll be no better time There'll be no better way There'll be no better day to save me Save me Yeah, save me I hope you see like I see I hope you see what I see I hope you feel like I feel And the world don't stop There is no time for cracking up Believe me friend Cause when freedom comes I'll be long gone You know it has to end There'll be no better..
Not enough superlatives to describe Urban Hymns - Weeping Willow is simply perfect! I could listen to this every day and never tire of hearing it. Magic
In a Neon Wilderness, I admired the Weeping Willow, and found myself amidst The Rolling People, but despite my troubles, This Time I felt like a Lucky Man as The Bittersweet Symphony played in my mind, and soon enough, I lost track of Space and Time.
the eight people that dont like this song have no taste at all awesome music use to listen to the verv coming from my sons bedroom now into it big time myself. love this song. supertrucker49.
LOVE this. Urban Hymns was an impulse buy for me, I was only 12 and liked Bittersweet Symphony. The rest was too strange for me. It wasn't until I was 15 or so that I ever got more than 15sec into ANY of the other tracks. I am so glad I did. The sounds are deep and intoxicating while being politely short of entrancing. Not the kind of stuff a 12 year old cares about. I used to loop play this track when I was sitting up in bed reading Lord of the Rings, so I always associate it with that story.
Probably one of the best songs i've ever heared. It remembers me to a lot of great and a lot of bad moments in my life but in a sweet kind. thank you richard.
Oasis compared themselves to the Beatles, but this reminds me of Champagne Supernova, only a million times better. So they kinda stole the show. And I love Oasis btw. Urban Hymns is one of the few albums I can listen to all the way through, from the ups of Bittersweet Symphony to the downs of The Drugs Don't Work to this epic ballad. Cheers.
Most underrated track from Urban Hymns. I think this song is an anthem for lovers. "I hope you feel like i feel..." - Thats what i want, my girlfriend says to me that a warm summernight...
Man - the 90's gave us such amazing music. From Oasis, The Verve, Radiohead, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, REM - the list goes on an on. What a decade for music.
@pbrlimit oh definitely! I was born in the early 90s and could only enjoy all the wonderful tracks all the musical artists created later in my life. I'm re-taking that journey and going through them all now too :D glad to be a 90s child
Love this track so much, played it over and over and over for years and years. Everything about it is perfect! Thank you The Verve, will love you forever! :D xxx
@foreverashcroft there's just far too many good tracks, but oh yeah I see what you mean - for this is my favorite The Verve track as well: "And the world don't stop, there's no time for cracking up believe me friend..."
Sublime in every possible way. The guitar work in this track, along with The Drugs Don't Work, is McCabe's finest. After 10 years, it still gives me goosebums.
One of the very best albums ever created, especially this track. Nick's guitar-work is beyond excellent. One of my favourites (not on this album) is Beautiful Mind. That one is a track which has a mesmerizing hypnotic effect. Music to play in the evening. I can't play it in the car however, as it sends me into a relaxed state and I don't want to ditch it into a hedge!
i hope you c what i c , someone to stand beside me.Just fucking beautiful ,urban hymns is one of the greatest albums EVER, even after 12 years it still never tires
Can someone explain to me the meaning of the phrase 'crack up' that appears in the lyrics? Because I looked it up in the dictionary and it has 2 meanings: 'to have a nervous breakdown' or 'to laugh very hard'. I'm confused! ;)
"There is no time for cracking up, believe me friend". I love this song, anyway;)
Y'know what? I think I've decided that UH is better than The Stone Roses' "The Stone Roses", Radioheads's "The Bends" and The Smiths' "The Smiths" - which means it became my favourite LP of all time!
i adore this track, so much it means everything to me , its my fav verve song, the lyrics, richards voice, everything, its very dear to my heart, everytime i listen to it, its beautiful, to hear this live is perfect to me, i hope one day i get the chance to hear it again, but i doubt it, it reminds me of good times, bad times, tears, sorrow, but its my song, and ill always love it,, thanks
@markt1982 .lol i think you will find its miss.. ( old account .).but thanks .. yeah .. the best .. thank god for the verve.. my life would have been poorer..
@stonedrose1000 Even the most inane objects can have sentimental value to some people. Who are you to say what people should and should not become attatched to? Besides, hating something is just becomming emotionally invested in something that you dont even like, which seems somewhat hypocritical. It's like buying a ticket to a show just so you can heckle.
