The Verve - Slide Away

[Otium83]

champagne supernova owes a lot to this

[zero71234]

BTW lady gaga is doing merchandise in The verve video?? Fuck That!!

[portalsounds]

This song is an anthem for beautiful gatherings with those who know how to breathe in the deepest of air and blow out this life's cares..

[PearZeaL]

VEVO SHOULD DIE!

[kc075086]

Fucking brilliant yeah!!!!

[newdaystyler]

the world needs more LSD and another re-evolution of society buts its inevittabley on the way anyhow so no worries my fellows.

[folladordeprostis]

There is also a oasis song called slide away

[zero71234]

@folladordeprostis yeah I know I love Oasis but I prefer this Slide Away.

[eyemalmostthere]

Far out man! Shades and sounds of early Pink Floyd - this guy even looks like David Gilmour.

[aaronJORDON]

GOD! Richard looks so much like Mick Jagger. He was born in '71 and The Rolling Stones were fucking everything in sight, so maybe Richard's mom went to a stones show......and the rest is history

[missvivers400m]

This is great!! :D

[slvbrnl2]

¿wOULD YOU LIKE VERVE OR ASHCROFT PLAY AFTER OR BEFORE SHAKIRA?

SORRY IT´S AN AWFUL VISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­if you remember bitter sweet symphony it´s the only song we have heard on the radio¿don´t you think it´s because it´s the more easy to hear. And I like it, but it´s not really really so verve or Ashcroft. Whole word knows verve only by this song, few know the other wonders they have created. Bye

[mizlillash]

um.. blink 182 is not shit, its a completely different style of rock than the verve or bands like oasis so don't even compare them. There are good in their own right.

[NickNorie15]

@mizlillash

You, sir, have been brainwashed.



[dan74275]

this song is just unreal. theres nothing else like it. im just blown away by the early years, its kinda sad how everyone in the world knows bitter sweet symphony but very few know this.

[kbdevo1962]

@ braddyboy82 Try an internet station like Last.FM . It sort of like what Facebook would be like if it was geared toward music. Lots of new music equal to or even better than this by bands that you have never even heard of. Some offer free downloads .And finding music is much easier than here . I have a hard time finding what I want even when i know exactly what I want . This site is a serious waste of time when waddling through cell phone videos to find a decent quality vid

[richieakasopp]

blink 182 are a gay cheesy american wannabe punk band , dont use them in the same sentance as the verve

[WENCHY101]

I luv The Verve!

He always looks very greazy & very high though! (lol)

[pixargod]

I love that line: These are your times, and our highs.

The Verve FTW

[Luke5119]

If John Lennon was still alive, he'd listen to The Verve ;)

[Courageous39]

@Luke5119 and Oasis

[JurricaChiannaNycole]

i love the long hair look (not the emo comb over), but this still a weird bu awsome video.

[oejsis]

I know they are fucked up on drugs i just hope they could see how ugly and fat those girls are, and hopefully they didn't sleep with them!! hahahahaa

[Mindqwerks]

@Braddyboy82: I was literally sitting on the toilet when I first heard this song on the radio in 1992. You can only imagine what happened next…

[nickthelick]

@Mindqwerks Brilliant!!! LMAO!

[ganooba]

i saw these guys at bogat's in cincinnati in '93 in the middle of a snowstorm. the roads were bad and only 30 or so people showd up, but the Verve played as if the house was packed. they said they did it out of appreciation for the people who showed up. great band...

[blueberry41747]

All their Songs are Great. I Love these Guys!

[LadyJD13]

Nice. Just heard the opening chords on an episode of "House."

[DaftGuylol1000]

Stop comparing this to other things enjoy it for what it is we get it, if something is popular it does not make it better

[TheM79blooper]

i miss this side of the verve. a storm in heaven is a brilliant debut. beautiful lyrics and amazing guitar work from the genius that is nick mccabe.

[beedox5]

this music is amazing

[ghostdog221]

Beautifully wasted... I adore this song! And the video too...

[ghostdog221]

Beautifully wasted... I adore this song!

[LostSince89]

forget the solo crap and get together and do another verve album ashcroft, some of the best music i have ever heard as come from your band

[kirkpatrick321]

what album is this on?

[gordomcc]

@kirkpatrick321 A storm in Heaven

[ruagamer]

World's most underrated song.

[mooneymash]

fuck yea baby!

[skop1ok]

es cierto como pueden ignorar esta musica si es lo mejor que ay no como laddy gaga laddy gaGA es una basura y esto lo mejor

[OasisMancityoasis]

BRILIANT!!!

[zero71234]

100 000 views for the verve and 200 000 000 views for lady gaga.

What does this mean?

World is covered by shit.

[shenmue4life]

man this song is a classic, i remember, when all of my peers here in america were listening to the backstreet boys, I was listening to urban hymns, and whats the story morning glory, this stuff got mtv play back in the day, i was about 8 years old and i was always ostricised for liking british music as an american except for my parents who always let me listen to whatever i wanted/

[q78562001]

nice drum!!!

[ghostleader17]

This is a very dark song for me. My friend got burnt half to death in the 2007 in the california fires. This song was on his myspace while he was in the hospital for more than 6 months. But it is a very well crafted and beautiful song otherwise

[mrcuthbertgriswald]

These are your times and our highs........

[sufy1000]

This song came in House Season 4 Episode 7.

Brilliant track!

[anothergunner]

@sufy1000

really?! that kinda sickens me in a strange way

[sufy1000]

@anothergunner What are you on about? it was featured in an episode of the TV show House you twat. There's nothing to be sickened about fool

[randyflash1]

Always loved this - one fantastic verve track!!

[MercuryClock]

Godly bassline.

[beazvids]

genius. it speaks for itself u dont get shit like this anymore but hopefully itll turn around an true music will come back surely even the average sheep will get tired of all the corporate shite thats happenin these days . i hope an pray !

[anglorob]

its curious that we all question why this kind of music isnt the norm and all over tv and radio. But hey its epic tunes like this that seperates us from the dullards...

[OandNo]

F*cking amazing song

[DYKEPALS]

wow the advertisement sucks. The National sound like a shit band

[spaceplaque]

Northern soul is one of the best late night cerebral vacation cds!

Wore mine out a while ago.

Bummer they had to hitchhike to the gig with their sleeping mats though.:)

[seasonedsevencolors]

These ladies looked so young and beautiful back, then.

PS: I never knew they had a video for this song.

[keykoo123]

where did they shoot this vid?

[TheRadioheadKid]

Let's Go Slide Away jajaj woOw the verve Genius !!!!!!

[annakol23]

this is in their early career....

[THEREEGS]

If you like the verve check out EXIT CALM

[thechosen2010]

A Storm in Heaven and A Northern Soul are tragically ignored by the media, the music channels and radio stations.

[marcus8768]

shoegazing rock&roll whatever you wanna call it this is GREAT!!! LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL..

[surrealsound]

effects + emotion are no where near stage fright. ; )

[surrealsound]

keep shoegaze alive! love the verve

[leighslambchops]

Shoegaze! this is rock n roll man, not some wanky student band on smack who are too scared to look people in the eye!!

[Antonio2009I]

this track is fantastic beatiful! And the guitar creates a wonderful psychedelic sound!!

[73lozman]

Brilliant song, a time before Indie went mainstream :-)

[redman9pablo]

memorys flooding back listining to this,my first ever album and my best album ever !

[rubbersoulgirl9]

90's the best!!!!

[Barozzo]

bella, ma quella degli oasis è un'altra storia...

[loji22]

è loro o degli Oasis?

[dollsnatch]

Young Simon Jones is soooo dreamy!

[milkeny]

aw jeez the embedding is disabled :(

[bryemycaz]

The opening part of themn walking in the dessert reminds me of Pink Floyd Climbing up Vesuvis in Pompeii

[thepumpkins101]

i love the 90s !!!!pscadellic stuff!!

[foreverashcroft]

ive always loved this song.. its so bloody nice....as always with the verve

[farglow]

Young Richard Ashcroft is DREAMMMYYYYY :)

[keykoo123]

this video is so verve! luv it...

[LeftHandOfDarkness]

I like this way better than Bittersweet Symphony. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. Nick's guitars blend beautifully with Richard's voice.

[mbgames73]

Thanks for posting this - This band r so underrated & amazing, kicked down the doors for Oasis, Kasabian and Black rebel to follow after....The Verve wrote- recorded some great tracks ! (saw em in 95 it was special like watching the Doors or something)

[cootscot]

very true mate,seen them supporting the charlatons in 1990,awsome!

[DISSODANTS]

this is shoegazer 101 you want the it in a full dose check out dear hunter. see them live if you ever get the chance; completely lost in sound.

[rcmayo]

I'll have what they're having.....

[bakedaddy747]

It's amazing how songs like this get ignored by radio and MTV but they will play shit like Blink 182 and pussified fake punk posers. It's pathetic.

[Fgh2rvb]

@bakedaddy747 if i could thumb up your comment a thousand times i would. its good to know there are actual people who exist like me.

[futrestarofengland]

theres plenty of people like you mate but yeah were still a minority

[19rude87]

@bakedaddy747 Well said. It is pathetic. Just testament to the moronic, soulless people behind music today

[Gresaaa]

@bakedaddy747 i wouldn't call them shit, pop punk is not exactly terrible, it wouldn't be a multi million industry if it was.

[msgvb]

@bakedaddy747 you guys should try streaming NME Radio through the iTunes radio stations - it's in the Alt genre. I was in Germany when this album came out. they had the video for Blue in rotation, so Euro MTV was pretty good, but yeah, I'm with you guys - can't remember the last time I even listened to commercial radio. all sounds the same or sounds like crap to me now.

[playerdepimp]

@bakedaddy747 i have no liking for blink 182 or sum 41

[zero71234]

@bakedaddy747 blink182 is ok and I like, what I don't get is this emo bands nowadays. I wish we could enjoy the 90's again. Best decade of music... Oasis, the verve, Pearl Jam, Offspring. And other thing. MTV was worth watching in the 90's. Today is just a TV channel for gay bands and gay fucking rap and hip hop groups.

[TheNancyRotten]

@bakedaddy747 today the radio sucks,,the MTV shitty sucks,,,,,THE VERVE are too good,,,TOO GOOD to sound there,,,,,,,,

[93shaggy]

@bakedaddy747 the verve are amazing but come on blink 182 to good as well you cant really compare them there so different

[slvbrnl2]

@bakedaddy747 don´tt try to understand. it would be a shame for the verve were in the shit of MTV, the good taste only is for few people like us.Let Rihanna and Lady Gaga for the ash of unsensitive people that listen the trash of MTV. It´s an honour for Ashcroft being outside this kind of shit. Fortunately you have a good taste and all of us here. Let MTV for the ignorant and manipulated people. we stay with verve .

[aaronJORDON]

@bakedaddy747 Honestly, Blink is good. But nothing next to The Verve

[mandaladouble]

@bakedaddy747 It is because as a business model, there is a paradox in play.On one hand, to play Blink 182 creates a cultural mediocrity that is easily replica-table for the masses.Likewise, the classic rock from the 60s, 70s and 80s, that is already copyrighted, can be shoved down the throats of consumers with little to no overhead.Thirdly, the current demographic shift allows for power to be continued into those who are in their 50s & 60s. Don't worry, it will change, the internet is part of..

[EmmyIiciouS]

Haven't heard this in a while.. always makes me sad :(

Super song ^^

[astroroadsign]

Sad here too... somebody told me the other day that nostalgia is a form of depression. When I see this I get it.

[LeftHandOfDarkness]

Richard Ashcroft's great, but Nick McCabe's guitar-playing is what is really transcendent. He is one of the best guitarists I ever heard. Very underrated.

[Facialcream13]

BTW how much acid did ashcroft eat for this video?

[elite0white0knight]

enough for this record to smash the Gargantua amount of shit that is out now

[thatguyyoudontfeel]

Why do people need drugs to create dreamy music? Guess none of you are true Shoegazers.

[braddyboy82]

Can you imagine if you heard this on the radio today? Or saw it on MTV today?

The music is still amazing. I would crap myself with excitement and buy the album.

It's utterly amazing how FM Radio and MTV and VH1 have turned their back on music in exchange for entertainment.

I could go on and on... but for lack of space I won't.

[LeftHandOfDarkness]

braddyboy, it's true what u say, but this song didn't chart. It only barely scraped the Top 100 in the UK and I dont think it managed anything in the US. don't get TOO nostalgic, cuz even then this kind of song got ignored.

[skint0n0minted]

@braddyboy82 they dont care about anything but themselves and money just like a politician

[Xxhead96xX]

@braddyboy82 Do it. thats probobly why the radio stations suck so badly. no one tells them about the bands that are LEGITAMATELY GOOD. and not the same word just repeated over and over like some "artists" nowadays somehow get away with. i cant even listen to most crap on the radio anymore. i use my own music.

[Queensizemusic]

@braddyboy82 You should check out Jody Porter's new record. He was helping to lead the shoegaze charge back in the late 80s and early 90s alongside groups like the Verve. Of course, now he's in the Fountains of Wayne, but you should check him out in iTunes. His new solo record (he's still in FoW, but just wanted to get these songs out) is fantastic. Check out Good To Be Alone. That's one of my favorites. Twilight as well.

[Aledleww]

@braddyboy82 If i had the power to, id sack every asshole on mtv and hire you in the place of them all, id sit and watch mtv all day.

[doublemandala]

@braddyboy82 The reason is threefold. 1st, technology has eroded the need for purchasing. 2nd, technology has also made it easy for anyone to make music, by stealing off of others, taking away from talent. However 3rdly, and most importantly, those who control the music logistics have decided upon mediocrity to foist copyright control of previous music and the nepotism that permeates take the first two and supports the third. The end in sight, is the through niches that exist now...Just my $0.06

[masurra]

the nineties!! ahh the seventies for the ppl born in the seventies

you could turn on your tv and stuff like this was on MTV, nowadays it's just WT-docucrap bam margara and don vito gofy

[telanm01]

isnt it sad, god I remember watching mtv back in those days, saturday nights headbangers ball, sunday nights 120 minutes, buzz clips, Im sure this song was a buzz clip at one time. sad to see what mtv has become.

[Facialcream13]

boy you didnt even need a hammer to nail that down.

[ultramegaunknown]

The Verve are one of the greatest forces of music, EVER.

I think this and "History" are the best examples of that statement.

This is a song that'll never get old.

[onerowan]

could'nt have said it better willydandd!

[Aledleww]

This is Such a spaced out song, i love it :) !!!

[twobyfour]

Great days brothers and sisters, it only happens once, make the most of. Almost impossible to hear now, such a melancholy it gives me, great days, better nights and fabulous friends.

[HinduOASIS]

well said willydandd, when i hear this song i always remember the day i brought home A storm in heaven, the mood i was in, what was going on in my life and how it effected me, you are right this is music.

[duckindave]

such a beautiful intro

[Muireannify]

House M.D. and The O.C.!

Sounds a bit like U2!

[willydandd]

were do I start its hard to say maybe graduating high school in 92 this type of music and the things being said and the relation i have with the music goes deeper than just a good song you like the first time you hear it but someting you remember for your life and brings back every emotion you hold in. this is not an average ok song from an average ok band. that is music

[JosephGallagher]

I can't even imagine their intake at the moment... GOD!! I LOVE THEM!!!

[13thnote]

May I go as far as to say that this is one of the best rock songs of all time!?!

[wondermoves]

@13thnote you may

[Kurtis2212]

oasis slide away is better

[13thnote]

Oasis slide away is good, But this song is EPIC.

[martinishot]

DIGGIN' this track in the OC, California! Ummmm, make love on the beach with this playing. Who knows, maybe I shall tonight......

[WKaliberr]

i want this to be played at my funeral

[sadkins83]

drugs please

[CoolerFizz]

Fucking Awsome!!

[Tibbonds]

Holy fuck this is a great song.

[13thnote]

It is pretty amazing.

[Jake198917]

fucking minttt!!!

[cotasonante]

YES! This is music :D Amazing!

Greetings from Portugal.

[LittleShad0w]

damn awesome !!!

[pancorleone]

ROCKPERUparatodos -- "this surpasses oasis"

are you fucking mental? listen to oasis slide away again and think about what u wrote. this is a good tune. but oasis slide away is at least 5times better. and they are as a band aswell

[JasonHFY]

Oasis is crap.Fact.

[floryboonda]

@JasonHFY

-yeah; none of their songs lived up to the hype.

[Simheona]

Beautiful - great video!

[odannon]

fantastica canción!!

[ROCKPERUparatodos]

esta canción de lo mejor

DE SU MEJOR ALBUM DE THE VERVE "hurban HYMNS" 1997

This surpasses OASIS

THE NEW ALBUM "FORTH" 2008

VERY GOOD esta de lo mejor se los recomiendo

THE SONG is fantastic

THE BEST OF THE VERVE VERVE yeahhhhhhhh

THE BEST band of the 90 RICHARD A. is a ROCKSTAR GREETINGS FROM THE PERÚ

[manzanamarilla]

Esta cancion es la mejor de las antiguas de The Verve

[jdzxxii]

lastima, lo bueno, en general, dura poco. Tremenda banda

[vakibs2]

And thus, the song slides away into the endlessness of time !

[maryline1971]

Celui du groupe de l'époque (93) qui assure la batterie, ne me semble pas être celui d'aujourd'hui ????

Dommage si oui, je lui trouvais un charme presque féminin ***

[maryline1971]

J'adore ce morceau !

La basse déchire !! (Bravo Simon)*

L'ambiance est aussi très particulière. Ce quasi road moovie entre potes rockers, qui échouent dans un night club dont les filles adoptent leur musique a quelquechose de touchant.

Richard toujours aussi charismatique et attirant ***

[bitxito77]

Me avergüenzo de no haber escuchado antes esta canción ni haber prestado atención a esta banda con mis 32 años...

[hsakhsd]

tiene esto algo que ver con el "slide away" de oasis??

[wopman1010]

Anybody know what town Ashcroft is living in these days? I heard somewhere near May Hill, or somewhere in Gloucestershire....

Any help would be appreciated! Cheers!

[lewisjamesfegan1994]

why what you planning stalk him or sumit?

[wopman1010]

@lewisjamesfegan1994: Fuck no, man. I'm just visiting the U.K. this summer and I wanna stop by his town to see where my music heroes live.

[TSOLD9000]

i always like these guys back in the 90`s. i thought they never got the recog that the music deserves.

[irena2009]

i love this song so much!! and pretty much all of their songs :) and the v ideo is great!

[ericronash]

The best band ever. america needs a better understanding of how crucial this band is. I try to educate.

[OkWin32]

The Verve, one of my favorite bands of all time!

[gofgr]

so addictive!!!

[13thnote]

An absolutely superb song.

[DisforDonnie]

Much love for you guys!

[caramellamellia]

God, you guys are still so young, love u all.. I love you all forever, Because you guys are AWESOME....!!!

[macgirrl]

awesome, thanks!
