    It’s really quite lovely when you read that he filmed this video on his own small country estate in Gloucestershire, bought in the 90s with a bit of money from the Verve years.....
    Blasting over your fields on a summer evening, with the wind in your hair on your little triumph scrambler, your faithful dogs running beside you.... absolutely nobody to answer to.

      Sadly they think they do. I believe Richard Ashcroft will know the truth about this and this song is far deeper than it appears to be here. They own the corporation created in your name at birth via the birth certificate. However, despite their legalese and smoke and mirrors we are sovereign living breathing men & women, and as such can be owned by no other man/woman or corporation..

      Noel Gallagher has a lot of respect for Richard, too. He dedicated "Cast No Shadow" to Richard and, if I remember correctly, said something to the effect that he wasn't in The Verve when asked about being in "the greatest band in the world"-i.e., Oasis.

      @@reillywalker195 So strange that Oasis started out as a support act to The Verve, then by the time Oasis hit the big time it was the Verve who became the support act. They should both have been as big as each other. I think each time The Verve got some traction in the charts the drugs took hold of Richard Ashcroft and defo held the whole band back from being bigger.

    n "They Don't Own Me" by Richard Ashcroft, the lyrics convey a message of independence and defiance against societal expectations and control. The song addresses the notion that nothing in life is truly free, challenging the idea of being obligated to conform to societal norms.
    The lyrics suggest a sense of self-empowerment and individuality, highlighting the protagonist's refusal to be influenced by others. The lines "I know that you, ain't like the other ones, march to a different beat, babe, banging a different drum" emphasize the artist's unique perspective and unwillingness to conform to the expectations set by society.
    The chorus, "I think I told you before that they don't, they don't own me," reinforces the song's central theme, expressing a resistance to being controlled or manipulated by external forces. It reflects a strong belief in personal autonomy and the rejection of societal pressures.

    Am still astounded by his Stafford V festival performance, after The Verve split. That massive crowd just stood and listened to his whole performance, without moving a muscle; while he sang the hits without moving from the spot he stood on. Not one person seemed to move in that whole venue, till the end - when the whole crowd erupted in a thunderous acclamation of appreciation, of a magnitude I have never seen or heard before. I have seen hundreds of bands in venues and festivals, but the applause and cheers at the end of his set has never been matched. I love this new track of his and can't wait to hear him live again

      I do remember singing with the crowd and him accompanying us with his guitar and orchestra. Upon asking for a new song, I sang “is true what they say, nothing in life is free. Well that seems so absurd, how can that be? I think I told you before, they don’t own you” and then the crowd joined in.. We let him have the lyric to use in his new material and we told him to run or walk with the song, before singing “You gotta roll with it” at the top of our lungs. He has made a great track here and the video, his haircut and style are fabulous. Big hugs Richard, I cried so much when you sang your last song.
