The Verve - Catching the Butterfly

[flyvibe71]

you know what this album was..... too good, it was too good, thats why they fell apart, when u make an album like this thats ahead of its time, and ur in ur infancy stages of being a band and u release something like this. it overwhelms u, there's almost nowhere to go but down. Translation; AMAZING EPIC FUCKIN ALBUM!

[lyonslaforet]

There's a great, dreamlike atmosphere that wraps the whole song!

[parapraxas]

o tu mariposa....



[perwiratempur]

Where's me weeeed?

[LixofyBB]

2 didnt catch any butterfly

[thebushdocter100]

98, to be 15 again toking that bong with this album playing over and over :}"

[ManonManipulator]

chill,..



[fortheloveoftunes]

2 persons unable to catch the butterfly .-)

[REDTHRONE]

2 people are not able to catch the butterfly.

[FlashmoreGash]

Amazing song!

[3521soda]

thumb if you're still trying to catch the butterfly...

[TheSoldier0fortunE]

@3521soda Ive been trying for years.

[skop1ok]

one of the most underrated songs

[Burt472]

Flabbergasting track on Urban hymns along with "rolling people"......2 masterpieces

[ManonManipulator]

oooh, late night music...

[MrRudygoat]

I concur with your first sentence MSCHIB......

[dasilveirapacheco]

What?! Are you hearing the same sh*t as me? I think that it's God's Voice :o

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

This song is so dreamy!

[01cxc]

4 Get Oasis. This is the album to make love to and to break love too!!

[flubbz53]

is "catching the butterfly" referenced in the song "falling down" by oasis cause i've heard on that before

[LeBuckeye]

@flubbz53 possibly...and probably...but there was a piece of literature in the 18th century that coined the term originally

[coitussnakes]

wtf is with all the comments about being on drugs on all these verve songs ? its sad and lame to see most people think they have to be on drugs to enjoy music.

[casperld]

Urban Hymns, The Stone roses, Definitely Maybe. The most important albums ever released.

[WeAreTheModsTunny]

@casperld Doubt it pal, Definitely maybe is an Oasis Album.

[MrKubricky]

every time i pass a hard night, first thing i do next morning is listen to this song...its like freeing your mind from all the problems, stress, pressures, 7-36 minutes of freedom....

[CrashingCymbal]

this has lsd written all over it! :L ah no i joke, great song :D

[BarCactus]

....d[-_^]b....

[spamwilson]

this is nature's song

[erickgregoryful]

This album is wonderful ALL the way through. Moving.

[saraignn8]

so you born and so you thought the future us to keep and hold awsome lyrics

[onebeforedinner]

i love this song so much along with weeping willow and velvet morning. Everything the verve has ever put out is so fucking good.

[andyckybojangles]

@onebeforedinner tell me isnt this an eyeopening experience to listen to this band whilst on lsd ? Its opened my euphoria to positiveness :0

[castreed]

McCabe is God

[Letspreach]

We used to sit on the grass, smoking weed, just like the album cover. I even had the hat.

[thespoiler2]

To Feel alive to feel alive 6:01

[MrBebbs]

Beautifull song stonker ov a album makes me cry :))

[topquality73]

[spamwilson]

[yusefpa1]

The opening to this song is amazing... The Verve are a fantastic band.

[dtc5793]

love this song

[damnthis3]

love it!

[TheMondocain]

really great ,

[deansusky]

This album was their best and ,,came out at the right time ,the sound and the music is just ,,so good

[flyvibe71]

i mean really, urban hymns is in the top 100 greatest rock albums made. they broke up shortly after this, and its still relavant. i wish they would reform and make some music for the people. c'mon guys.

[JulieAP8]

@flyvibe71 SOME OF THE SONGS ON URBAN HYMNS FILL ME WITH HOPE,EG, CATCHING THE BUTTERFLY AND LUCKY MAN ! THEY ARE VERY PHILOSOPHICAL AND MEANINGFUL-listen to those lyrics

[pragnerp]

Absolutely mega fantastic sheer brilliant beaut of a song/composition/jam .. .... ......

[pm1591989nd]

i had to recap the feeling and write that's why i removed 3 comments and then got it right..

[pm1591989nd]

everything about this song by the verve is just gr8...

Greetings from India

[izKake]

I dont know what it is about this song but when the chorus comes on. I think my brain releases either dopamine or adrenaline. The song is breathtaking and gives a strange feeling of unknown strength.

[traphikk]

pass the virtual joint

[SteinPueppi]

just awesome

greetz from germany !

[1wiremu]

i like it

[revolution0101]

Thnx 4 the post , great sound!

Turn it up !

[psycultureBR]

beautiful music. beautiful....

[KamekichiDx]

Great Song! When i hear this song, i can feel the power grown up inside me.

[mschib]

This is the best album to listen to when having sex. The duration of the album seems to be only a few minutes then...

It's definetely within my top 5 albums of all time. probably on one or two. oasis and phonics are coming close though...

[rathcooligan2006]

lol

[chinahands100]

@mschib sex you say..does this album have any 30 sec tracks? :P

[pectinmania]

@mschib I see a paradox. Generally speaking most people prefer sex to last. If this album makes an hour of sex seem like a few minutes it's time to find a better sex album. Or see a therapist...................

[EllieLenny2]

LONG LIVE THE 70s 80s and 90ss´´!!!!

S3xxDrUgGsANdRoCcKanNdRolL

[kasper3256]

[andyckybojangles]

[andyckybojangles]

@fromthelandofuruk man i love this band they have brought me closer to the positive side of the this life we live ive been eye opened by their amazing riffs an lyrics to this lucid world we live in so when you trip think of how much love is in the world an forget the negative. peace love an tranquility

[neuronicdreams]

If you're going on a psychedelic experience it's good to listen to this song because it is so positive... even if you're not tripping out it's amazing haha. I have loved the verve since I was 3!!

[Ha7oc]

[Britpop1234567890]

I don't know what it is, but if you listen to this song, you feel better afterwards....

[ramiutube]

One of the best tunes under the influence..

[gauravlala]

The start of the song reminds me an ABBA tune..... hehe but its awesome bec. they covered it really well.

[talentshow098]

I love this song. Best of Urban Hymns I think. Neon Wilderness rocked to..

[mongolik]
