The Verve - Neon Wilderness

[Feirrur]

In a neon wilderness He was restless Escape loneliness Find a new address Stood before I sink In a neon wilderness Spill my last drink Yeah, he was restless Say good-bye to my new friends Escape from loneliness I found a new address In the last room I hear a boom Someone else's distress In a neon wilderness Someone else's distress In a neon wilderness And I hear a boom In a neon wilderness He was restless Escape loneliness For a new address

[buffenbison]

the singing on this track is so skilled its unreal, shows how good he was

[MrJas1991]

This song reminds me of some of the lowest times of my life

[Burt472]

Beautiful track on awesome album ( urban hymns)... One of my favorite songs along with "Rolling People" and "Catching the Butterfly"

[stoptakinallthenames]

Can't stop listening, it's mesmerizing

[3lullabies]

ITS LIKE,HERE...HAVE A BIG OL' SWEET SLICE OF DREAM PIE

[theinck]

Nice to see no dislikes here.

[JTeamjesters]

dont need to smoke anything than just this music to get me high :D ohhh the power of eargasm

[natureandchaos]

Perfect dream music...

[shermanvermin76]

This song sounds African.

[DanFitzdrop]

The best track on the album...and the only one Ashcroft didn't write!

[MrYorkyporky]

Fucking amazing, thier finest piece of music ever! Takes you to a place where you want to stay forever!

[coconutfever123]

ahhhhh, brings me back. i feel like ive just had a therapy session. lol

[pectinman]

i don't see any drug references in this song. i think it's more a song about going mad(found a new "address").

[itfeltsoreal]

He was restless, skipped loneliness, found a new address...neon wilderness...these lines just get to me.

[tutiblue]

I found a new address

[Letspreach]

Short and sweet.

[playerdepimp]

this is the fuckin shit right here, thumbs up my music lovers

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

this song rips thru your soul.. as the verve should do, thats why since 93 for me no other band has come close..

[Pyroman1990]

I keep listening to this song over again. I think its actually about moving on from something in life, and since my girlfreind dumped me, its all Ive listend too!

[janfreidun]

For me, this is the high point of the whole LP this song defines the greatness of the verve fluid and well build song Obviously Mc Cabe is a genius and few songs sum up all the solid groove this song contains. Top put it short a truly brilliant and timeless sound, someone further down mentions cobain, morrison Joplin and Hendrix, but none of those acts was in the same league as these guys, Verve is one solid act, there are few like them!

[bipbipandthebippers]

yes yes yes pragnerp

[bipbipandthebippers]

someone else's distress

[syed790]

A high mans words, are a sober mans thoughts.

[pragnerp]

Gave up drugs long ago but never gave up on this type of music: inspiration, creation, loneliness, alienation all shouting out.

[ConceptofForever]

It just reminds me of taking acid and all the colors being really bright in the wilderness.

[bipbipandthebippers]

someone elses distress

[rh79chase]

Drugs may have been bad for people but great music came out of the bad. Such examples are Jimi Hendrex, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, and many many others. Music and drugs collide and sometimes there are rainbows while other times there are storms. It's just a way to look at the bright side. Many happy songs are hits but more popular songs are sad songs. It's just the way things are and how they are meant to be. Keep it herbal and all will be good. :)

[revolution0101]

Moderation is the key ....

[rathcooligan2006]

no its not. the modern world sucks

[revolution0101]

@rathcooligan2006

modern and moderation have two separate definitions ......

[pavlovphone]

Muy bueno .cada vez que escucho este tema me sugiere mucho en mi subconsciente.

[carbine125]

should be las vegases theme song

[shannygirldevil]

this used to be my favorite song to chop up onces too........the good old days

[alisonpoh]

cuando escucho este disco me acuerdo de mi mina, este disco fueron unos de sus favorytas bandas

[oasis55555mad4it]

so trippy.

[LucidDream]

I think the title "Neon Wilderness" is a way to describe modern life. Neon I believe refers to our modern ways of life now with lights everywhere. It is still as wild as before the cities were built on top of the land. Therefore it's a neon wilderness out there.

[pacifire2]

Stop comparing drugs and music together. Please. It's pointless. You're stoned out of your minds and too retarded at the point you listen to this music to actually understand the deep meaning of this song.

[theblakeman]

dont be a dick. songs dont have to have a deep meaning, and whether im sober or high this song is brilliant... but saying that people on drugs dont understand this song's "deep meaning"? thats just a dickhead thing to say. I dont think it has a deep meaning, ifyou do thats fine but dont sound like an elitist prick

[pacifire2]

You're probably stoned out of your mind when you posted this comment, eh? Seriously. Get your fucking head out of the gutter. Drugs are meaningless. They harm you. Why would you want to harm yourself for such a petty thing as a "High"? Can you not find something in your life to give you the same euphoric rush? Something productive? Music, Gaming, Drawing? I'm not being elitist either. I'm speaking the truth.

[drumandbasschozee]

true man, drugs are pieces of shit that have ruined millions of peoples lives!

[LucidDream]

I'm gonna quote Bill Hicks here,"See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs, man."

And that is the truth. And to understand it, all you need to do is listen.

[afab232]

drugs or no drugs....this song is just beautiful...

[ckwasi2006]

Trust me, I love acid, and especially weed, and all that, but come on! Don't you get the whole theme? It's about discontent and conflict, internal, and external, and the negativity in modern life.

[neuronicdreams]

definately about acid....

[Loinmusic]

i cant believe that non popular song is in that popular record. 5/5 nick mccabe.

[afrainee]

they composed this song when they're on LSD

[giantsfanshawn]

Every time I hear this song, I think about smoking weed. Great song!

[mcog2006]

That's how I felt, but never smoked weed. I think that's what the song was about, doing marijuana.

[buffenbison]

@mcog2006 perhaps, i take most of the music on northern soul and urban hymns as being less about drugs like the earlier stuff and more about richard channeling his battle with depression into his music, some of it about the struggle like this, others like lucky man etc about staying positive in life

[sammytyrer]

@mcog2006  mate its about pills mdma son dont go there son!!!

[viron2112]

One of my favourite all time tracks by any band. This track is no less than feckin genius! Nice one.

[antiukguy]

I agree, i jam to this all hte time
