[buffenbison]

the presence of this man is enormous

[MsPriestess]

Fuck! Epic

[JVoH4god]

a heartbreakingly beautiful song...

[bakosspyr]

[TasteTfire]

Love it, one of my favourite songs

[stenwald]

Ashcroft is just the dude here... every inch the British rockstar.

[HeLLofNorTH]

wankers enjoy making comparison and nonsense.

[MrMinecraftfox]

how can a song be this good? blows my mind! what a timeless song this is! amazing

[scouseladlfc]

I Love Pancakes

[zdapivam]

Especially love that guitar part from 2:32 to 2:55... so simple, but so nice...

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

omg amazing. .spectacular!!!

[MassaDayLewis]

You can´t discuss taste, but people still free to give their opinions, and based on that, I think this band is the best band that came from Britain in the 90´s.

Simple people writing pure music. Can´t get any better than that.



[Lunatic4Bizcas]

@MassaDayLewis : Just my opinion, but a lot more soul and genuineness with the Verve when compared to Oasis, whom I could never get into. I've been a fan of British music far before the Verve and Oasis appeared on the scene, but I must agree that you could quite possibly be right. The Verve may very well indeed be the truly best band to come out of Britain in the 90's.

[larwhelan]

@MassaDayLewis I'd agree with that if all their albums were as good as Urban Hymns but because they don't have enough great songs i'd have to give that accolade to Oasis! Imagine if Oasis had Richards voice that would be some band :)

[antoneanania]

Seriously you all can you imagine? It looks like they laced em up in Glastonbury and just THREW DOWN!!! Just watching it gives me chills. I bet you it was unreal!!! Anyone that said they didn't like this... you're an idiot. Let me guess you're probably the same morons that don't like Quentin Tarantino. THE VERVE FOR LIFE!!!!

[p1peee]

REALLY AMAZING!!! 

[folladordeprostis]

Great song,but oasis is better

[zreidsnider]

@folladordeprostis haha that's bull in my opinion, Oasis are extraordinary as well, but Urban Hymns just took The Verve one very large notch above them

[Feirrur]

@folladordeprostis Stop lying.

[emaster01]

The chords are as follows:

Intro/verses: Cadd5 Em Am Asus4 Am Asus4 Am Asus4 Fadd9... x2

Chorus 1 (yes there is love if..) and Chorus 2 (here we go again...) : F G Em Fadd9 ....x2 Gadd4 Fadd9

Bridge: G Fadd9 Gadd4 Fadd9 Fsus2 Gadd4 Fadd9 Fsus2 ....x4

pre-outro (by now, by now..): Fadd9 Fsus2 Gadd4 Fadd9

outro: Fadd9 Fsus2 Gadd4 G ...x5

[tufftaff661]

top tune all ways

[kheg4802]

BRILLIANT--PLEASE TOUR US AGAIN WE NEED YOU - YOU BRING MY EMOTIONS TO THEIR HIGHEST ---USA

[kheg4802]

BRILLIANT--PLEASE TOUR US AGAIN WE NEED YOU

[cotchford1969]

Urban Hymns will always be my favorite album, it came out at the right time in my life.

[saraj12]

Richard Ashcroft is a mastercraft.

[MrHAMADAHMED]

i have been listening to this song from 3 days.....continously....best band

[llliiiaaam]

What a performance, they get better with age.

[cmb760]

must have been pure magic to have been there

[vishallp007]

@everyone there shouldn't be any comparision in verve and oasis!

Both are best, legends and splitted band

[Stereophoneygaz]

who the fuck are the 9 morons who hit dislike ?

[themainman239]

plian and simple the verve r legends

[alliboy100]

richard,,,,the real frontmant............

[southeasternhammer]

awesome live!!!!!!

[meapantz1983]

liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaa­m lol i love a bit of anarchy!

[joeyjokester]

So the chords are intro/verse: C Em Am7 A7sus2 Fmaj7??

chorus: fmaj7 G Em

bridge: G Fmaj7

outro: G fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 ending on C

I think this is fairly correct, but what I am unsure of is whether its fadd9 or fmaj7, and C or cadd5. Any input?

[Jeninthians]

@berrygirl1964 - Except for his very public tantrum at a Festival in Australia a few months ago (Splendour in the Grass)!!!!!

Yes, total class act, that one! :P

[folladordeprostis]

THis song is great,the verve is ok,but oasis is better

[harrywwalker92]

@folladordeprostis

i'd never say an opinion is wrong.

however.. this is one i strongly disagree with.

oasis. were great at there time. for the genre and time of brit pop.

the verve are masters as is ashcroft. there style can evolve and grow. there music is universal.

thats what sets them aside.

[Exercic]

@berrygirl1964

You are comparing Liam and Richard.

It's like when we will compare Joey Ramone and Johnny Rotten.

[crimsondynamo752]

How the hell did a band this good slip beneath my radar? God damn it they are excellent!!

[jibberjabberman]

@crimsondynamo752 your from the states :)

[hellohellogone]

@berrygirl1964 Ahhhhhhhhhh, but we can't all be boring now can we?

[lamusicadicolore]

che splendida voce.

[david2k6murphy]

this guy is the reason god set off the big bang, a true legend amongst us mere mortals

[SuperDavid010]

Jajaja..Liam is The Best Vocals in the World!!!!

Oasis Forever

The verve is god but Oasis is better!

[MCFCRuss]

@SuperDavid010 Liam best vocals in the world?? are u on Crack, Noels vocals are better

[StanleyDonwood]

@MCFCRuss

Liam Gallagher can't sing anymore anyway, hasn't been able to for about 13 years

[maruko105]

OMG EPIC

[crazymalala]

FODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[harrywwalker92]

9 people ... don't like this..... one of the most famous songs on the nineties.. if you knew you werent going to like it.. why watch it. its not as if you didnt know what it was... more to the point. how can anybody with the capacity to hear. full stop. dislike this song? crazyyyyyy crazzzyyy people.

[sophster101]

@harrywwalker92 totally agree ....an awesome performance...\God, i wish i had been there!!!!! spike

[macgaby2007]

@harrywwalker92 In harvard, jenna jameson, megan fox and harry potter discovered that form 336822 people arround the world 9 live out of tune all their lifes hahahahahaha and then they became def hahaha that's the only explanation

[0Kian0]

@harrywwalker92  Exactly !!! This is without Doubt the best song from Urban Hymns. Absolutly Beautifull. God Bless the Genius that Is Richard Ashcroft.

[axlrosea675]

@harrywwalker92 right....and it's also true that the 90s were (at least one of) THE decade(s) of great pop/rock. along the road: oasis, radiohead, the foo fighters and so on and on and on.

[playerdepimp]

@harrywwalker92 this is my fave song and i was born after the verve became popualar, verve!!!!

[axlrosea675]

@harrywwalker92 and the nineties...best rock/pop days ever.

[carlosjoaquin1]

Richard ven a Perú!!!!

[cotchford1969]

Richard IS Rock and Roll!!!

[beatle608]

@berrygirl1964 Both Liam and Richard are great, don't know what you're talking about.

[raisanen01]

are you kidding me, The Verve kicks Oasis to the curb!

[MrShugaray]

@berrygirl1964, actually i saw him at splendour in the grass last month and richard came on stage drunk as fuck played one song, threw a tambourine,mic(plus stand) and marracas then confronted a photographer and fucked off, 10 minutes later an annoucement came over that richard wasnt feeling up to it and would not play any more songs. hardly sheer perfection. dont get me wrong i love his work, but the way he acted that night (plus the fact i missed the pixies to see him)made me lose respect.

[BuckleyPark1]

This is absolutely SUBLIME!!!! Richard Ashcroft is a genius!!

[MEMARKA]

love the edge in his voice , great artist

[remogonzalos]

slane rock ?

[jarvisegidius]

..dreamin of the day, when i can see you there..by my side

[thlambrec]

This track and the other songs performed by the Verve on Glastonbury 2008, are one of the best live performances I have ever heard. His voice is so good and the musicians play so well.

[strat3251]

this is brtter than the crap they put in the jhon peel tent this year.

[stephenfifaking]

genial good song...

[Psgurl90069]

I've been carrying this song around in my heart for years. I freaking almost cry every time I hear it because it's not only pure genius it's the most beautiful.

[qwertyxxx22]

[bigjimrods]

Garry glitter took my virginity !!!!!

[breethebhoy]

One of my favourite tracks of all time! Richard Ashcroft Genius!

[Cloverlea]

[ArcticMikee]

[rohaihuparaguay]

@ArcticMikee Yes, why does everybody always forget about McCabe, his playing is sublime.

[omar3352]

[ES071984]

Liam and Richard are both amazing vocalists, no matter who is the best of them, they're better than the rest..

[Lucks1891]

[telmomourajr]

The Verve 4EVER!!! For me,sonnet is one of the best songs ever (:

[janfreidun]

as timeless today as it was the day it was released in the 90's

[iamchriswalton]

This and Lucky Man remind me of a girl that i know,

[pikas99]

so do i

[ambruus]

Music is NOT and should never be a Competition. Unfortunately for many, competition is the only way forward.

Appreciate music for what it is and not for what it is worse or better than.

[TheGorilasss]

@ambruus

You should really change your perspective. Competition has and will always be the way to progress wether it is music or architecture or medicine or anything in this life. Thus u can only appreciate the music you consider to be the best and not every kind of artist. Thats why the difference of opinion and taste exists anyway...

[NickNorie15]

@ambruus

Which is why there's not much sense in saying The Verve is better than green day. Simply because the latter is not music. It's commercial crap.

[zykophonyguitar]

@ambruus The perfect philosophy : )

[sonofscars]

nobody is better than anyone. END OF!!!

[youbestbequiet]

Ahem, Except Pink Floyd who is clearly the greatest..The Verve are a close second

[Deathstar11978]

@sonofscars to be fair everyone is better than Aqua, anyone who sings about barbie is truely shite. END OF !!!!

[ptbox5]

The verve=oasis

Iron maidon=deep purple

The verve+oasis>iron maidon+deep purple

(smoke on the water=song 4 retards)

END OF

[kondurperusix]

Oasis is better

[kitabarros]

♫ Yes, there's love if you want it...

[ivimaiden]

i've been loving this band for more than 10 years and i'll never get tired of them. I hope they come to the US

[smiledope]

why i always cry with this song? really beautiful!

[rastatryo]

they makes me think to oasis, I like this song ♥

[80daven]

Loam legend

[aussiearu]

Since when oasis best band in the world? jesus

[kondurperusix]

oasis is better than the verve,many bands are better than the verve,deep purple,iron maiden,etc

[Mogwai3D]

yes, some are, not many.. , but none on those you just wrote..

[webslinger48]

@kondurperusix Better maybe. But Oasis wishes they did this song.

[06clared]

Why can't you see, that nature has it's way of wanting to be. Eyes open wide, looking at the Heavens with a tear in my eye <3

Yessssssss there's love if you want it, don't sound like a sonnet, my love.

amazing. Purely amazing.

[adam4592]

they both have different styles..

oasis is more rock n roll, verve is more chilled n mellow. i appreciate what u say tho

[mnmlsound]

with this song I fall in love in the most beautiful girl in the world, and I miss here right now ... love U Katka Ferancova :*

[interpol8694]

Nice ; )

[eracliosc]

nada solo the verve es lo mejor de lo mejor ..

[bassistamistico]

liam is different than richard

[melihjem]

liam is fuckin talented

[cablenut]

liam you nob, stop of the crack pipe ffs, wrong group....

[mandolaman12]

Liam is a cunt. But he's a fookin excellent singer. So is Mr Ashcroft. Both bands are bloody excellent. No need for rivalries now... these were two of the few bands who didnt rival each other... I know the Oasis/Blur shit, but Oasis and The Verve got on just fine.

[lobsterjohnson88]

@mandolaman12

It was the verve who gave oasis their breakthrough

hence why cast no shadow is dedicated to ashcroft.

as for berrygirl1964 drunken ramblings are part and parcel of what rockstars do....including ashcroft all the way back to jim morrison.

btw i agree 100% with u. both legends and both excellent.

[shotgunshawzy]

liam gallagher is a total arsehole of a guy though, so theres a big difference when having to deal with him compared to a nice fellow when drunk.

[marciarecardoso]

Wonderful, Perfect. The song, the Musicians! Classy :-)

[fju2112]

ashcroft has to ditch his solo career and get his head out of his a** long enough to keep the verve TOGETHER for a long period of time. these shows from last year only prove that, as did their album Forth - highly underrated & a great album for those of us out there who are musicians and can appreciate mccabe's guitar work and some of the basslines.

[cablenut]

ditch his solo career, dont talk wet.. the verves fook all without the man and gabe aint that fucking great on a guitar.. ashcroft dont need any of them... its only ashcroft that makes the band, you need to also stop off the crack pipe kid ;)

[rohaihuparaguay]

@fju2112 amen

[greenbot]

get rid of the f...ing flags

[qwertyxxx22]

this song touch my soul in a deep way !

thanks Richard !!

keep writing !

[tblegand]

ashcroft is the man..

[goddessjani]

this song and all verve and richard ashcroft music are epic in their beauty and soul! thanks so much for sharing this on youtube for us to enjoy again and again - so uplifting! not sure some people here, but I think the bmw (bitch moan and whine) club is located somewhere else. pls enjoy this life!

[ricomarinofly]

great song!

[nowest]

Respect to Richard Ashcroft! Amazing artist...

[locoprox]

this song is awesome

[055697]

bad choice of glasses, lol.

[nblBer]

they only reunited to produce one classy album and give some great gigs. And fell apart one more time, this time they are not coming back.

Too bad Richard used this reunion for his own selfish purposes

[jhwoasis93]

the verve are class

[TheSVBraz]

The Verve is one superband, he's the future!

[SOFIII128]

Me sumo a esesentimiento
