Give it three years. I don't think they can go without each other for longer than that.

Some families are like that . But I LOVE all his solo work.

There was a demo tape of ashcroft of on acoustic circa 1995, with alot of future verve songs on,

wonder if its still knocking about, lost mine years ago ;(

This came from a demo collection "Sympathy for the Demos"...circa 1996, full band except for McCabe, I think Tong is on guitar...

I got a CASETTE of this after seeing the Verve (full line-up) in 1997 in Atlanta...tons of fans waited after the gig to cheer the band as they ran to the bus...in the rain mind you...unbelievable scene for AFTER a concert....

I met a bunch of fans and one guy sent this to me...in the mail..pre-internet....random act of kindness...

I was at that show! Someone from California had sent me a tape of these demos. They are awesome.

Wonderfull!!

But this Richard Ashcroft, not The Verve. And the album is Human Conditions.

[shoegaze76]

i got this song years before Human Conditions .. its everyone but mccabe playing on the track

[HumptyKing]

who's on the geeter?

[Mlawrencedowns]

@bichillina You shold know that this was a song that was domod years before. Some songs are developed over a number of years and not just right before the album they're on

[jagalligan]

that has to be mc cabe on guitar!!??

[huna1950]

dam!!!captain tell where i've been.....that boys soul getting deeper by the note!!AND HE MEANS IT!!

[verveverveverve]

[sth246]

this is ashcroft on his own, not the verve

[jimmytennis1984]

where the fcuk did you get hold of this?!?!? one of my favourite ashcroft songs and thats saying something!

[shoegaze76]

flea market in either denver or buffalo ...

[marllow99]

Play a Verve album, play an Ashcroft Album, there ain't that much difference! Notice the new trend to diss Ashcroft's solo work - it's actually pretty damn good. Do you believe everything you read in the NME? Have a mind of your own !

[mellowNdark]

Yeah but Mccabe with Ashcroft adds a lot more energy to his songs don't you think?

[mavner22]

really good! sounds more truthful than the over-produced album version. thanks for posting.

[thelixir715]

Better than the Ashcroft solo version!
