This is one of those songs you know will be brilliant, just from that sudden rush you get as soon as the music starts. I can't explain it. It's magical.
The Verve - Greatest thing thats ever happened to modern music, ambient, love, ecstacy, everything you could want from a cup of soup, physcadelic, like jason and the argonauts our struggle against survival with a little help from the VERVE - Fucking COME ON!!!!!!!!!!
Love is the brisk summer breeze hypnotism to the ears ona field in haigh hall wigan> inhaling melodies feeling the aspiration of a low life cut up man singing velvet morning. just letting loose of all bittersweet moments! Thats Fucking Love!!
Damn I wish I was there, though I'm happy to have seen them perform at Pinkpop 2008 right after their reunion, and shortly before they unfortunate break-up :(
Absolutely amazing, One of the greatest songs of all time, so simple in structure but amazing. Proves that just a few simple chords can make more than all the arrangements possible.
This was was when Radiohead and Oasis were meant to confirm their superiority as the generation's best band but gotr their arses handed to them. Gorgeous!!!!
I love those bands too, Oasis coming along was like a religious experience and don't get me wrong, they've probably got better back catalogues in terms of popular music and what they've done in the studio, but they don't hold a candle to the Verve when it comes to playing live, mainly due to the fact McCabe is an absolutely prodigious guitarist. Go be in a covers band, play Wonderwall and Creep, then try playing Come On or The Rolling People, you'll see what I mean.
When this came on that evening the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end like never before. It was complete darkness behind the stage when the song began but as McCabe played his haunting, reverberating riffs Wigan was lighting up in the behind them.
One of my greatest gig moments *sigh* ah the memories lol, that & stumbling through the forest falling all over the place in pitch dark pished out of our tiny minds trying to find a short-cut back to the train station! :o/ lol
I fuckin love this song. That first line is as powerful as the opening line from The Drugs Don't Work, IMO.
Ashcroft is the songwriting genius of our time and is massively underrated by the mainstream media shagging music 'fans'. Fuck em, we appreciate him, eh? Makes him a bit more special in my eyes.
@pembo18 well fuckin said man him and the beatles were the reason i started a band drugs dont work and this song changed my life the best songwriter in the world in my eyes
the only songwriter on the same level is thom yorke. both pure geniuses with a passion for music that's almost as amazing as their talent. fuck mainstream.
@MrGrevy Get out a little bit more??? And see what?? the rubbish pop machine junk that now dominates our airwaves!!! Clealry you cant understand musical talent when you hear it, because these people are MUSICIANS, artists not singers or performers!!! Why do people like you feel it is so important to disagree with fans of music you clearly dont like!
Yet you apparently took the time to look up this band and their "simple" music, as you say, and write a comment about it..hmmmmm..and you're calling us ignorant? LMAO
i meant after the 90's but you held a point...the only good bands this year are wat say....green day peter gabreil and the eagles long road out of eden was good. the verve was one of the good bands of are generation..... one who agrees....?
