The guy is one the best singer songwriter of our time, doesn't get the recognition he deserves

@trayc2762 4 жыл бұрын

James: Agreed. He doesn't do that celebrity circuit, paparazzi thing his peers incline toward. I like that about him. You're absolutely right about recognition though; as a vocalist and lyricist he's (at least for me...) the finest of his (and my) generation. Reclusive, and disinclined to self-publicise, I think he will not have the recognition in his lifetime at least. That said; since 'they don't own' him.....our finest 'natural rebel' is, I'm only guessing - obviously, not remotely bothered and far too cool and fiercly guarded regarding his privacy to care. Best wishes to you and to all. Txx

Others are busy on the celebrity circuit; Ashcroft just quietly gets on and works on creating outstandigly fine music. Haunting, melancholy and beautiful. Oh and that voice! Sublime.

@trayc2762 3 жыл бұрын

@@nepopois9553 Agree wholeheartedly. I think the "they dont own me" and "natural rebel" themes have always been present; even prior to him having articulated them as such. One need only look back to Northern Soul when with the Verve and listen to "History".... Obviously before the huge success of Urban Hymns with The Verve and yet still one cannot fail to notice his lucid distinction even relatively early in his career as to whom he is and how he won't compromise himself. Love and peace to you and to all persons. 💙👌. .

I’ve loved this guy since I bought Urban Hymns on cassette in 1997. He doesn’t age, his voice doesn’t age. I’ve seen him 3 times in the last 4 years and I’d watch him every night if I could. He’s special and his songs are special. The voice of a generation

@MRS_______ 4 жыл бұрын

Totally agree.

@christenwright1149 4 жыл бұрын

Absolutely!! "The voice of a generation," describes Richard Ashcroft and his songs perfectly! No other artist or band has songs that age so well... even his songs written in 1993/1994 (and before and after) still SPEAK today. The messages in his words are so timeless that they mean as much (if not more) to today's times than the time in which they were written. Just absolute classics. Richard Ashcroft is so incredibly sadly underrated and underappreciated (especially in America!)!!!

Not only does nobody own or control this 'natural rebel'; they also cannot touch him vocally or lyrically. For me - and I entirely understand and appreciate that others' will disagree, as is their absolute right of course! - Ashcroft is the finest vocalist and lyricist of his (and my) generation. His music is the soundtrack to my life.

Reading these comments and I've come to realisations, that no one understands a word he is trying say. Yeah he is a fantastic singer and his guitar work is outstanding. But his true genius, his true beauty is in his consciousness and the way he is trying to wake peoples minds up out of the matrix, the matrix most people call life!!!!!! If you don't understand, "YOU ARE OWNED!!!!!!"
