The Verve - Columbo

[carlitozik]

you have to be a music genius to write such an epic song! brilliant band...

[playerdepimp]

back again! love it!

[playerdepimp]

just the name columbo makes it more interesting

[adam180682]

Probably one of my favourite tunes ever..

Probably one of the most unappreciated bands of my era.

[dzsozyyyy]

this is so beautiful

[studiosoleil]

WOW ! I love YOU Daryl ... x x x

[GameKing777777]

Love looked over me.

[TVClassicsATYuToob]

Saloum idi mou !

[stampedechobass]

[ahalestoned]

LOVES LIKE OXYGEN!!!!!!!!

[ManonManipulator]

it makes your whole day! -it is one of the best albums!

[forinyto]

quite brilliant

[decdetdes2]

@222Lightning. [grin]  i like all of those things, but your point is well-taken. i was just thinking how much of a glorious addition to life is The Verve. astounding grouping of musicians. have a good evening.

[222Lightning]

3:53 when the drums pick up............then the vocals kick in at 4:35 bad ass. I remember doing my dishes listening to this 2008 and just stopping in amazement at that part. Some people need sex and money............I just need my night skys and the verve !

[realkarat]

omg drums are just awsome!

[CheckTheMingo10]

Great tune! In My opinion the best of Forth along with Valium Skies...The Verve are amazing and Ashcroft is a legend!!!

[foreverashcroft]

love this track..took me a while to get in to forth.. but now i love it...

[fireenergy2005]

i loooove this song. was the first song from the album i really liked after the first time of listening

[TheBloqueador]

Esse som é o som da manhã!!

[realkarat]

i feel kinda clean from inside :) this is magyc :)

[NZartfuldando]

My favourite song off the album after 'Love is Noise'. Very different and out of this world in a way. The Verve are too underrated for my liking. Not just a one-hit wonder like most think who have only heard 'Bittersweet Symphony'.

[NZartfuldando]

Perfect album to get a little drunk to a relax after a long day. THIS is music.

[ManUtdOasis]

the verve are amazing! the music is so different and original and so good! love this band!! Do Oxegen again!!! love this song and appalachian springs and rather be and judas... love em all! what an album! it competes wit Urban Hymns! just falling short tho... in my opinion!

[wwillow1]

yeah great comment ..but now theve gone and done one again....glad i was at glasto

[SilverBellsxx]

Ashcroft can do MAGIC,did you not know?This song is amazing and just keeps moving.

[1madmuffin]

2:07 is my favortie bit idk why xD

[wwillow1]

After LIN this is the best track on the cd reminds me of the early stuff, The Verve doing what they do best.Ashcroft at his trippin best FKN GENIUS.

[Festen6]

la mejor cancion del disco

[ksrm2]

3:37 epic

[bullsonpurade]

i am a huge verve fan and i am not afraid to admit this album is nothing special. most of the songs lack melody.

[KarlKunst]

One of best songs of Forth!

[SilverBellsxx]

LOVE is like oxygen

[SilverBellsxx]

This is my favorite song!They should make a live jam video for it!

[brianstorm92]

its just me or, the bass sounds like a nirvana's song...and the chorus richard sounds like bono =O

anyway, kick ass song

[aderham6]

Don't u dare try and compare Richard with a talentless clown like Bono

[robhartjr123]

i bet your bitchass cant do better than Bono....

and dont reply...because i can probably break your face...and i would

[aderham6]

shut up u idiot

[Soulcarvers]

can you stop critising The verve....you dont like then dont listen to the song and dont comment you nonsense bono the clown in The verve territory

[theelimann]

Bono blows.

[mehhh31]

As much as I think Ashcroft is a hero, your fucking idiot.

[danpagnesupernova]

"Come As You Are" but a tad faster

[JustMe8485]

This is always fighting "Appalachian Springs" for my favorite tune off "Forth." I can't pick.

This song morphs quite a bit; it could've been like three equally amazing songs. It's an abstract tune that slows down with this cool guitar that eventually morphs into a groove by the half of the song, and you're thinking "Woah, what just happened there? I don't know but I like it."

[lentex99]

...Love's like oxygen... amazing song

[SilverBellsxx]

THE top of the line song!Best song that I have heard in years.LOVE it.

[cynicthecynic]

definately the best track on the album. hands down

[Rafaelprudence]

uma das melhores dop albummm...fodaaaa

[deaftone1]

the verve came back better than ever.

[coleodin]

easily the best song on the new record... epic.

come to the states, and play it live!!!

[fletchdies]

This song embodies 'forth' Such tuned in musicians with a voice that properly fits the music. How fucking good is The Verve?!!!!!

[Conero08]

Apetite4Destruction, you hit the nail on the head.

Btw if anyone has a video of them performing this live please upload it

[Conero08]

Vanity, rather

[Conero08]

Fuckin great song, the best on the album in my opinion...especially the ending.

Content wise, i think it's about the vaniyt of celebruty life, "famee, bullet-proof bathroom..."

Anyone agree?

[Apetite4Destruction]

I agree.

"Fame, A Celebrity Culture, Flashlight, Flashlight. Fame, Bullet-proof bathroom."

"Dying on the inside...dying on the inside"

I love this song. I can't stop listening to the last 4 minutes. To be honest it had to grow on me, but now it's my favourite song on the album. Although, embarrassingly, I can't make out some of the lyrics. But what a great song. Genius album. Richard Ashcroft's voice takes me somewhere I've never been.

[freeman0407]

awesome from the best band in britain . no fuck it the world

[rlah151]

ha! uh...yea i love em but not more than them other rascals

[hopelesscasewtf]

fucking brilliant song !! last 3 minutes , please can any one tell me what he says towards the end... after he says dig yourself out of a hole youre stuck , after that if any 1 can try to comprehend what he says , the ending is just amazing!!

[blueflavourjelly]

is it about columbo...?

[Eart1hl4ing]

Isnt this the alternate to Love is Noise? Sonds like it.

[ManWithOneBoldStare]

amazing. If there is such a thing as psychedelic these days, it can be found right here.

[Tifflet]

Nice tune, find it hard to understand what words he's singing though.

[tziganenumberone]

my favorite song of forth

[spar459]

CLASSIC VERVE!

[secretshine]

Just plain fuckin' coolness!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vannyfresh]

i wouldnt mind the verve making their next album just built entirely from jam sessions. i like richards songs and i think he is actually one of the top songwriters today but i think the verve's true greatness is in their harder and groovier side. Too bad chic dub was not included in the album by the way.

[iampaulrus]

It's funny, but this is one of the tracks that came in for the most stick in the magazine reviews for the album...

...and yet it's my favourite tune on there.

You're right about it being a more "Verve" song than most of Urban Hymns, in that it's a truly band effort, spawning from a jam session.

UH started off as an Ashcroft solo album, with McCabe being the last to join up for the sessions in early 97.

Rather Be, I See Houses, Valium Skies... they're nice, but THIS is music!

[vannyfresh]

yeah i agree with you. rather be, see houses, valium skies (really love nick's guitars in them i might add) are nice but anyone can tell that those are richards songs after a couple of listens. i just wish they were given more time to make more songs like this so it could be on forth.

[vannyfresh]

this is my favorite song on the new album. i know there are fans of the verve who like more of the urban hymn textured songs but i think the verve are more naturally less of urban hymn and more i guess forth textured songs where they have songs built around the sound of pete, nick and si. this is evident in columbo and it really brings to life the genius of the verve.

[Anukis18]

Fantastic track, especially the last 3 mins or so. I totally love this album, thi band made a great comeback, and i also think they evolved somewhat to other styles of music, and did great if you ask me.

[7lartceps]

Fantastic track,the first half sounds like can.This track came from the same jam that love is noise came from,you can hear it roughly halfway into the track.

[JasonHFY]

Greates song I've heard in years!Genius.

[ivaja]

This is my most favourite song an their new album. To me, it sounds so fresh and nothing like they have done before. And that's what makes tis song so wonderful . And I love Richard's voice very uch on it. Sounds sexi.

[cging12]

thank you! i could not find this anywhere. (reminds me a little bit like when they were just going to sing love is noise @ glastonbury just before)

[titocold]

mmm this song born in the same reahersal of love is noise, the guitar is simmilar, so we can think this is a "continuation" of love is noise, but not,this is another song. similar guitar but is other song

[bmendes]

This is fucking brilliant, great, the bass, the singing, the guitar, the mood, the lenght....I seriously don't get why this song is getting so bad reviews, people are saying that is lasts too long and goes nowhere, what the fuck, I don't get it, it's simply a fantastic work from a fantastici and genius banda, bigger than Radiohead, and it says enough!!

[madonnestousername]

I totally agree with u!(though I appreciate Radiohead too and don't find appropriate even to compare the bands just to declare which the best is...)

anyway, I can't stop listenig to this absolutely fantastic song since I've heard it for the 1st time!I'm definitely in love with it!!

I think that so many people don't like songs like this one 'cause they don't sound commercial.quite as many masterpieces by the Mars Volta or Tool...the beauty of such songs is in every sound they're made of <3

[bmendes]

hey madonnestousername, really enjoyed your comment, your right it's not commercial, so most people avoid it, which is a shame!!

[bmendes]

This is fucking brilliant, great, the bass, the singing, the guitar, the mood, the lenght....I seriously don't get why this song is getting so bad reviews, people are saying that is lasts too long and goes nowhere, what the fuck, I don't get it, it's simply a fantastic work from a fantastici and genius banda, bigger than Radiohead, and it says enough!!

[realkarat]

i compllitely agree! you're so damn right man :)....just wanna sream about that :)

[bealgrylls]

their new album isn't as good as some of their old stuff, bittersweet symphony and drugs don't work are classics, their new songs are different to them, they should stick to writing songs of a similar vibe
