Lucky Man by The Verve next. Their Urban Hymns album is all killer no filler.

@MrWestie1985 Ай бұрын

This song is widely regarded as having a double meaning, referring to both Richard Ashcroft's struggles with drugs, and his dad's battle against cancer and the effects of chemotherapy

Yeah his dad was complaining drugs don’t work

Their album Urban Hymns was huge when it came out in 1997 . I was 18 years old then and I still listen to it today

Drugs worked for me until I had no control over my life anymore. I was facing some serious consequences and decided to try recovery. I am very lucky that it worked the very 1st time I actually made an effort. Later this year,I will have 28 years of sobriety. No drugs, no alcohol and a year after that clean date, I stopped smoking as well!

So glad I live through the 90s in the UK, was rife with wall to wall classics like this, don’t think there’s quite been a decade like it..❤❤

@DavidAston-bn9bz Ай бұрын

Classic 90s! Agree with the "Lucky Man" suggestion for the next one to react to by the Verve. Having enjoyed "Bittersweet Symphony" you should definitely check out the video for the orchestral "Unfinished Sympathy" by Massive Attack which has multiple parallels but importantly is an earlier song. Massive Attack have multiple classics including the ethereal "Teardrop" with its unique and oddly compelling video and the atmospheric "Angel". I bet one of you will say I've heard this somewhere!

"Verve" is like another word for "mojo", or something similar. Basically inspiration and drive. Musically it might be likened to having a "muse", something (or someone) in your life that keeps you going creatively. It's inspiration.

@dagosa1 29 күн бұрын

The Stone Roses are my favorite band of that time period, but Pulp deserves more recognition as well as Doves. And the drugs worked until they didn't

@deckofcards87 12 күн бұрын

The Verve's best material is on their first album "A Storm in Heaven" when they sounded like a Shoegaze/psychedelic group.

Lucky man is their best song imo

The verve means vigir and spirit, or enthusiasm. And yes you guys gave changed. The wall is the proof. That wouldn't be there if you guys weren't great. I don't care what anyone says, this channel is family and it's like hanging out with friends on a back porch or around a fire pit just shooting the sh%t.

When I hear the line “if you want a show” reminds me of my friend who was addicted to drugs having a good night but by 1-2am he would show us the violent side of himself but it wasn’t really him just him not realising where he was or who he was talking too. So it was like he put on a show for us. I still miss him RIP Goughy.

Been a long while since I've heard The Verve... they were very big when I was at uni, long while back now. You should check out one of Richard Ashcroft's solo songs, Check the Meaning, quite a haunting song and video

@pandapopchart4950 Ай бұрын

In terms of the British bands "blowing up" in the UK, compared to the US, the UK was probably about an album ahead for Oasis and two ahead for Blur (Oasis got popular pretty quickly from the start, while Blur's third album Parklife was the one that made them huge in the UK). For the Verve, the time frame was much closer because Urban Hymns was their comeback album after their first split and their reputation and popularity grew during their absence.

@JPWHUTV Ай бұрын

There's two verve tunes I'd love to see you guys react to. Not sure either were singles in the US muchless but lucky man or come on. The latter is something I think you guys will love. Peace ✌🏼 ⚒️

My understanding of this back in the day was that it was about someone dying of cancer and the 'drugs don't work' anymore. Lots of ways to interpret this song on a personal level.

@ShanLH5 Ай бұрын

I think I lean a little more towards Blur just because Damon Albarn is a beautiful man 😍 not necessarily about the music lol. But also, you guys have never heard the Libertines, although they were a bit later (early 2000s). They never got much recognition in the US but I love that band! Imitrex definitely works for me! When you’ve had a migraine for 3 days and nothing else is working, it’s such a relief. My life has changed a lot in the past 5 years. I got a new job, started making more money, moved into my apartment, got a new car, stopped talking to my best friend (that part isn’t so good, but it’s the path she chose and I can’t change it.) And I met my Boo Boo, who has definitely changed my life 🥰

@That-Ginger-Chick Ай бұрын

I'm from the same town as The Verve and there's posters all over Wigan advertising Richard Ashcrofts (their lead singer) solo tour and I'm convinced that Murdoch from Gorillaz is based on him because they just look too much alike

@kurik2856 Ай бұрын

I interpreted this one as losing someone to cancer as eventually the painkillers to keep them comfortable eventually stop working an degrade the person more.

Great reaction, its about his Father dying of cancer. And its about the drugs treating the cancer not working, not recreational drugs. The Verve/Richard Ashcroft so underrated. Lucky Man, History, Rolling People, Sonnet, This Thing Called Life

@davidjames4980 Ай бұрын

This was the verve’s 3rd album , and very commercial compared to the first two , tracks like slide away , she’s a superstar, history and on your own are all absolutely incredible, if you liked this I’d recommend history for sure

@MattMuirhead Ай бұрын

Worthwhile to listen to the cover of this track by Ben Harper... one of those covers that (in my opinion) is better than the original. Check out the version from the Live from Mars album. Definitely worth the listen.

Morning guys! This song hits me hard. Because in my drug days I never thought I'd be able to quit,pills or hard stuff. And I managed to get out. Out of both and never thought I could. I got lucky and was able to up and leave my old stomping grounds and come back to my other place I used to use 20+ years ago and no one's around that I used to know. And now I'm in school to help others to get away from that stuff! I feel grateful to be here today and really shouldn't be..thankfully I am and can share my experience with others...❤️ Ya guys!

Check out the CASISDEAD version of this. It’s from the perspective of the drug dealer, turned into the user. Plus it’s rap, if you’ve never heard of him. Dope UK artist.

@thesunreport 28 күн бұрын

To me this song exemplifies the era in which it was made. At this point I think it could be argued that in some senses the cultural/musical landscape was going through a sort of second-wave of ec***sy. And whereas the first wave, around Rave music and culture, had a very positive vibe, the second wave, with more questions about quality of substance and a lot of bad comedowns, required a song like this perhaps, which Richard and the band seemed to provide effortlessly, and with care. Obviously I could be wrong, and maybe there were other cultural/spiritual/personal factors involved in the song, but that's my take on it.
