I was lucky enough to be there, the lads were just on it that night. For my money the best band in the world at that time, Haigh Hall was their last performance together I would say. Two weeks later Nick walked out and everything since then has been a pale imitation.
They played V fest in 2008 after they reunited . that was there last ever gig on uk soil ...man it was pissing down with rain but i stood there for the whole gig singing every song word for word nearly cried when they played bittersweet at the end ....1 of the best British bands ever and in my opion ascroft is such a underated singer/songwriter its almost criminal !! FUCK N'DUBZ AND ALL THE MANUFACTURED SHITE WE ALL GET PUSHED DOWN OUR THROATS TODAY
Everyone thought that this was a mad choice for me as a Wedding song and its nice to see that it means so much to so many, "eyes open wide, looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye"..........
*-* yo vi , juegos sexuales , y me enamore de bittersweet simphony , despues de esta , despues lucky man , siguio love is noise , ahora amo todas , esta es mi banda favorita .
this song is a top song and played at me brothers funeral in 2000 wen he sadly passed away to a drugs overdose every time a listern to it always brings back the great times we had together respect till the end bro sadely missed
@themainman239 sorry to hear about that. coincidence is that i just heard (moments ago) that a very dear friend of mine did the same exact thing. got on the youtube and wanted to hear this song a couple of times to remember her. we used to listen to it all the time together. RIP
I just wanted to get some feedback on a song I made called "strings". It's on my channel, I'd like to hear some opinions from the verve fans like myself.
i dont see how people can dislike some things on youtube... if you didnt like the song why did you even bother listening to it... AMAZING... long live Ashcroft
2010 and I my sister that has passed turned me on to this CD for the first time and damn it's brilliant and this is my favorite song. I play it every single day and sing it screaming to the top of my lungs thinking of her, R.I.P Diana
This is just a class apart. It shows up the current shit state of the music industry these days; the fucking bloated cocking-sucking Fearn Cotton-infested fucking wart that breeds talentless fucking drones and millions of 'dancers'.
This is it, this is what music should be about. Passionate. Pride. Soulful. The may it was meant to be, this brings a fucking tear to my eye and sends shiver down my spine everytime I watch it.
pretty soon you'll be 18, then after a long hangover you'll be 28.
After working overtime and 12 hour days, you'll look up and realize your 40. keep us posted if you find a fountain of youth, and just remember cocaine aint it.
i love this song and it tells a story that ive lived...so its just extra special to me of course. love the verve....english bands have always been my faves over american ones any day. im american, but it doesnt matter...grew up on floyd and zep and never looked back really.
America had its fair share of exellent grunge bands before the verve, oasis etc popped up though.......... nirvana, alice in chains,pearl jam, soundgarden, blind melon, screaming trees the list goes on......all these bands had soul.
