Mccabe and ashcroft come from upholland about a mile up the road from me. The college they met at is a short walk away and subsquently most of the storm in heaven album cover pictures are taken from in and around. The car on fire with the verve numberplate picture was done just up the road. Not a bad claim to fame but my only one!!
One thing is for sure...no list of "Definitive Music" is complete without The Verve. Their melodies, lyrics and meanings are way above the standard for great music.
Could someone please give me the meaning of this song. And don't give the 'its just music man it has no meaning' reply. I can sense theres a very deep meaning to this song that I'm overlooking.
@mach1man22 I don't think anyone can "give you the meaning" of this song or any work of art...it's for you to decipher based on your reading of the lyrics which are posted by the author of this feature. That said, here's what seem to be some of the themes that are present: mind over matter, resilience to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune across your lifetime, follow your bliss, the answer you seek is within you not without you...
@TheMamaSoul he is already there, he got friends, he lives, he can see with his eyes and hear with his ears, so why should he do drugs and why would he need drugs when he is already at the peak of life?
c'tait bon pareil

Perfect music to listen to when you're stressed out....
I love the Verve; their psychedelic jams, their tranquil melodies, their acoustic rock, their pop......
Such a great band.
