The Verve - Lucky Man - 1998

[echo962]

I love their use of the mellotron. Gives the music such a majestic quality reminiscent of The Moody Blues, Peter Gabriel era Genesis, or early King Crimson.

[airmedi27]

two words: Nick McCabe

[cannaat]

Richard is a lucky man: he's THE expert in what he does

[donramonito]

Gorgeous song, great band, soo much soulfulness and beauty in the words & music they peform.

[bowiefanHD]

beautiful! wish I were there..front row!

[TemporaryMe01]

Whoa!! My my!! ;-P

[fakecisawesome]

their hair blowing in the wind...cant get any better

[motorhead1964]

wish it was 15 min. long

[modmutha]

@FedorEIGHT, yes we know you're trying to wind us up and get a reaction. Very amusing! But while you're there wanking alone in your bedroom, think about goin and getting yourself a life, you never know you might enjoy it! Perhaps even meet like minded tossers who can share in the joys of you sad lonely and pathetic existance... Or perhaps not

[micxjll]

take alook at the weather !!!!!!!!!!!  perfect for this kind of song.

[FedorEight]

If off-key singing constitutes music, then I don't understand why record companies still won't release my recorded collection of farts. I've tried and tried, but to no avail: they simply fail to appreciate the artistic side of my bodily-wind emissions.

Perhaps I could sing atonaly like Mr.Ashcroft over the farts? Maybe then it will be considered good enough for today's pop market?

[sportsportsport]

excellent! ;-) 

[rogerstan]

Sounds awesome...I wish I was there...

[MacGrurry]

is it me, or did he forget to sing "Well im a Lucky Maaaaaaaannnnnnn..." at the beginning of the song?

[kevinbomb121]

im claping too in my lonely computer room for u

[omar3352]

que dice en ingles 4:19 a 4:30 si alguien puede ayudarme

[olejackisairbornetoo]

See, I love this song... But I have a whole other take on it... I'm an Army officer in grad school (about to finish) and I always have girls in and out of my life. But all I really want is a good girl to settle down with, and none of them want to... And on one hand I can't complain, cause I do end up with a girl here and there, but on the other hand I long for something stable but can't find it....

[markusr1970]

super stück

[debbieag]

reminds me of a great friend of mine malc who was with me when i was fighting cancer and made me feel like a normal person when that's the last thing i felt!! sadly i have now lost contact with him and often wonder where he is? Where are you???

[dreck93]

@debbieag I'm here, its me !!

[debbieag]

@dreck93

Whose me????

[irikrus]

They'd better make film about The Verve :/

[Chio95nwfan]

Hey,does anyone know about a future film about Oasis?I heared rumors,but it is sure?It would be so fucking great to make a film about them!

[Dilaralovesnatural]

[kdpowers]

[sarksmoband]

[MATEOELCOLOMBIANO]

i love this song. how i wish i wasnt 6 years old in 1998 hahah love this song. i have to say the 90s were the last generation of great music.

[luderpingvinen]

then you dont listen to a large variety of music do you ?

[MsSkyvixen]

this song never grows old. It's reported that film to be made on oasis, Jim Sturgess as Noel, Rick Crawford (irish) to play Liam.

[theeyebar]

from about 4:03 to 4:20 that euphoric solo with the distortion. incredible! Does anyone make music like this anymore?

[iliatilev]

Oasis...

[stilly2009]

I was at this concert at Haigh hall in wigan(where? it's where the pies come from) great song from The Verve..who also are from Wigan..

[SoakednRed]

Everytime I hear this song I think about the beautiful woman I love.

[Soulcarvers]

woah...his voice doesnt change throughout the years even 10 years later at glastonbury he sounds the same and more melodious

[rohaihuparaguay]

I am stunned, a performance for the ages. That smooth swelling guitar is heaven

[Ianavak]

Beautiful song. That's The Verve. Absolutely beautiful music.

Please reform The Verve for the love of music!

[irikrus]

[002smithy]

[prod1gyxfxa]

[C0R5AIR]

One of those songs that haunts you......

[foook111]

Richard Ashcroft is King among men.

[BlinkBeer]

to... bad they couldnt have kept it together when it counted, ashcroft is great, but they could have been better, it has happened to the best of bands.....

[Ep0nz]

that's what happens when you get fucked by a money hungry band, the rolling stones.

[monty545]

No it does not get any better...They were able to hit everything..lyrics and a sound that just reaches out to you and pulls you in..it's a wonderful thing...

[Gabba135]

Doesnt get any better does itt?

[Pavaso]

ten years ago, time really flies by. just try to imagine, ten years from now what will be of this song, what will be of the world, your life...

[EnricoKlotter]

[chimaera1855]

how many band can sing better live then their cds well the verve can

[CheeseTitsABC123]

[GBfan006]

"this is a song called lucky man..dedicate 2 my wife..cuz thats the kinda guy i am" what a great quote
