The verve had 3 of the very best albums the UK produced in the 90’s, unbelievable from top to bottom.
4 actually... No come down
My band Shader recorded at the Verve’s bassist Simon Jones studio near Chester.. We got to use all the Verve’s gear from A Northern Soul & Urban Hymn’s .. mind blowing experience..Si is a top bloke and bass player..we had some great chats about the early years of his band. One of the great bands with a natural musical chemistry for groove and sonic guitar soundscapes 🔥
Nick McCabe is possibly one of the most underrated guitarist the UK has ever produced. I’m in a band called Tigerside, and I always have this guy leading the way in my style.
Guys a genius
Nick and the guy from Ocean Colour Scene
@@moustachio334 Steve Craddock. Moseley Shoals is a great album.
He's up there with the likes of Pat Walden, from Babyshambles first incarnation. Genius levels of original playing style.
Hear hear! I saw Verve live in 93 and McCabe's playing and sound blew me away. Recordings often didn't quite fully capture his brilliance.
@@RyanMichero Defo man! Lovely guy but all accounts apparently!
Cannot believe it Justin. I suffer from crippling depression and yesterday I listened to this album again basically it made me cry but in a happy way. It's beautiful .
This and their first A Storm in Heaven are superb.
I actually knew someone who thought Kings of Leon were better than Verve. He was a prick.
Your brilliant Justin .Great vid.
Those first two Verve albums and the accompanying b-sides are phenomenal. I remember early Verve supporting Spiritualized in Norwich but I was too young to go, that must have been one of the most incredible gigs of all time! Luckily I got to see both of them in 97, Verve's set was mostly A Northern Soul and a Storm In Heaven with Bittersweet Symphony, Drugs Don't Work, Rolling People and Come on thrown in, one of the best gigs I've ever seen, transcendental!
May 8th 1992. SPIRITUALIZED. THE VERVE. NORWICH UEA.
May 8th 1992 Remains THE Greatest Night Of My Life.
I Was With 2 Friends That Night. My Friend "J" Was On Acid. My Other Friend "A" Was Drunk And I Was Stoned On Dope. We Experienced 3 Radically Different SPIRITUALIZED Performances. However All 3 Of Us Were Rendered Completely Speechless During Our Walk Back To The Car And Drive Home From The UEA To The Outskirts Of Norwich. I Think It Was Approximately 30 Minutes Before Any One Of Us Uttered A Word.
PS We All Went On To Take More Acid At The End Of That Night.
An Unforgettable Experience.
I've Seen SPIRITUALIZED 17 Times Over My Lifetime And Remain My Favourite Band Of All Time. THE VERVE Are Fantastic But SPIRITUALIZED Are Something Else.
PS For 10 Of The Greatest Nights Of My Life SPIRITUALIZED Have Been In The Room. For 3 Of 5 Of Those Greatest Nights Of My Life My Ex Girlfriend ( Now Close Friend ) Michelle Was There Too.
In Fact On Friday Just Gone We Were Discussing Our Experiences At Said SPIRITUALIZED Gigs.
Michelle Also Revealed That She Wants The Song LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE Played At Her Funeral.
At My Own Funeral I Want SPIRITUALIZED's LAZER GUIDED MELODIES Played In Full. The Entire 61m04s Of It Along With SAM COOKE's A CHANGE IS GONNA COME And RADIOHEAD's PYRAMID SONG.
If You Get A Chance Please Respond To This Message With Your Very Own FUNERAL Selections.
PS J SPACEMAN Wants ETTA JAMES' AT LAST Played At His.
I Expect RICHARD ASHCROFT Will Have CHRIS BELL's I AM THE COSMOS Played At His.
BTW I Feel Your Pain In Missing SPIRITUALIZED In 1992 ( Being So Young ). An Utter Tragedy.
SPIRITUALIZED Were Booked To Play The UEA Again In 1993 And Failed To Arrive On The Night. We Were Waiting Outside For Hours Too. I Was Absolutely Brokenhearted.
I Sincerely Hope You Were Able To Catch SPIRITUALIZED At Some Point In Your Life ( Hopefully Pre 2003 ). They're One Hell Of A LIVE Experience.
THE Greatest !.
:)
Love All Around.
Long May Your Good Ship Sail "Lenin McCarthy".

🎶 Justin Hawkins cries again...again🎶
Beat me to it!
I can't help it, I'm a sensitive guy
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain That's what your boyfriend says.

@@absta100 or as my m8's scouse mum calls em 'Piss-ease' (she's a pisces too haha) 🤣😂
Not only is this album a dense and dark masterpiece, but the accompanying b-sides from the same period are _Masterplan_ level of quality. I can't think of many rock albums from the 90s that hit home more lyrically, particularly as a conflicted teenager growing up, often carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Em7: the waterbed of chords. When you first get into it, it feels kinda weird and wrong, a little dirty. Then you realize it’s the best thing ever and you don’t know why anyone would want to use plain old traditional beds ever again. Then you just get obnoxious with it and try to work it into everything you do, until your girlfriend can’t take it anymore and texts you to say she’s now dating the drummer. The DRUMMER!!!!!
It's a great chord egenrally as it can lead onto so many other great chords. Plus it's an easy one for guitar.
Em with the major 7th and major 9th is the best in the chord gladiatorial arena
Lmao 🤣 your analogy is clever and funny.
@@modmary3527 🙏🙏🙏
I cry to music on a very regular basis. Some music sets my brain on fire and it makes me cry tears of joy. It's ultra powerful and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Music is an amazing release of the soul.
Well said and very true
True . Only music can bring out so many different emotions in a person. People could argue that movies can do the same but not as often and not as powerful I don’t think
Didn’t think you’d be into this Justin. Is is a phenomenal underrated album for sure. 🙏👍🏼
Love the Verve. A Storm in Heaven was so refreshing after hearing nothing but grunge for the previous two years. Saw them at Lollapalooza 1994. I was on Jesus acid. Great show!
This album hit me hard when I was 17. Wallowing in the sheer misery of it. Still listening to it 25 years later! I always thought McCabe and Jones had great chemistry - I love the interplay between guitar and bass on tracks like Drive You Home and So It Goes - but you’re right that Richard had a raw, powerful voice full of pain at this point. Definitely my favourite Verve album. Reprise is an incredible final track.
This album is incredible. A Storm In Heaven is a masterpiece, but there's something about A Northern Soul that just hits differently, and their version of Lifes an Ocean on Jools Holland is as good as it gets.
Yes! That is is one of the greatest live tv performances ive ever seen
@@jonnywose2528 Agree mate. A band at their peak for me 🔥
Storm in heaven and the live record before we're awesome. The one with the pinball machine
Nick's playing on that 😍
Its a mix.Its got poppy songs on it.History,On Your Own....etc etc.....and a little bit of psychedelic tracks that they had/did on A Storm In Heaven.Lifes An Ocean.....etc etc......
Nick McCabe’s guitar on this album is amazing, cosmic and powerful. Such a good backdrop to Richard Ashcroft’s raw voice and lyrics. Fucking love it
Stormy clouds is a phenomenal song and it feels like it couldn't have been made at any other time. The band at their peak and just going with the flow, reaching heights that will never be reached again.
The first 2 albums are under rated masterpieces. Love that you appreciate them!
I love Richard Ashcroft. A great live artist also. His voice is amazing.
Great choice, A Northern Soul & A Storm in Heaven are criminally underrated albums
Got to agree, can't imagine a band being 'allowed' to release two albums these days without having a 'hit'.
The verve is sooooooooooo underrated i love them so much they have changed my life musically spiritually, they are magic
Phenomenal album. The 'On Your Own' single from this album had 'I see the Door' as a b-side - love that song.
Heck yeah. 🙂
That was a great one!
I love "Little Gem" and "Dance on Your Bones" as well.
There’s a couple live version of I see the door on TH-cam that are brilliant
I love Northern Soul! Very underrated album. Life's an Ocean, Stormy Clouds and then Reprise are a joy to lay back to and get lost in.
It's brilliant!
It’s not underrated. It’s highly regarded.
Nice statement: "it never leaves you"! Spot On.
A Storm in Heaven was this wide-open psychedelic idea, monumental in its ambition,I adore it to this day, Northern Soul is far more reflective and heartfelt, and Richard seems to be singing from the marrow of his bones trying to communicate something sincere and pure.
One of my favourite albums of all time too. Great to hear you saying so Justin!
Biggest fan from Springfield Illinois America
I often get deeply moved by great music as well. I reckon it's natural for us Musicians who really understand and feel the music to shed a tear at times. Amazing album this is..
Always look forward to your videos. Such a feel good part of my day!
Thanks!
Loving the video Justin. Little story... The vending machine of feelings. I used to work with someone who was mates with The Verve at college. He was the only one with a house so you can imagine the stories and how much they relied on his roof. Anyway one of the things was storing things and the vending machine was one. It lived in his garage for 20 years. Sadly not too long ago he sold it to, I think it was the album artwork designer, the name escapes me for not very much in my humble opinion. I begged him to keep hold of it. I would have bought it myself if I wasn't earning peanuts.
My work mate raved about Nick McCabe, said he was so underrated. He used to play with a "tape loop echo effect" as he put it. Sounds insane. Top album
A storm in heaven is easily one of the greatest albums ever recorded. It's not bad sober either 😉
Yup. I don’t need anything Richard Ashcroft has done outside The Verve, but I can’t live without that band.
Yes, Storm in Heaven is probably one of the top 5 or 10 psychedelic rock records ever. The 1992 Verve EP and rare live Voyager 1 are equally astonishing
@@CircuitRider “No Come Down”, too, is one of the best compilations of b-sides ever released by any group
@@pyenapple agreed. That Glastonbury rendition of “Gravity Grave” is intense
@@CircuitRider “we can go up one more time, we can go up one one more, one more”
This is a much underrated album that is more about mood and atmosphere rather than hooks and hits. It really needs to be listened to on headphones in a dark room. I remember getting campylobacter food poisoning not long after this was released and spending the best part of a week in a slight hallucinatory haze just letting this album wash over me . . . it was a hell of a medicine!
i continue to be amused but pleasantly surprised by your channel, never had you for a verve fan, and northern soul is a great album, i first heard it in sept 95 when a friend i shared a flat with at the time had bought it and was hailing the arrival of the best musical talent in recent memory, he was kind of right, and when urban hymns came later we felt fully vindicated
I adore all these records and each one has its place but A Northern Soul is just remarkable. Thank you for introducing more people to The Verve. They were just an incredible band.
Justin I could have sat through 14 hours let alone 14 minutes of you noodling on your guitar, humming away and talking up this phenomenal body of work. I love this album that much! Thankyou
It’s amazing bruh , your piece “Holding My Own” is amazing too
Love the Verve and LOVE your videos. SO stoked the algorithm sent me to you. Never change!!!!!
History and On your Own are just gorgeous. I’ve listened to this album in full so many times . Just beautiful
My own to favourite songs from the album. ❤
Absolute favourite band of all time (no offence to the darkness) the ambience of the guitars and the soundscapes they create takes you to a different world. Nick McCabe is an absolute pioneer.
It is a great album. I was in the same year at school as these guys, and was really surprised and happy for them when they made it.
I love this album and the lyrics of History seem to be inspired by Blake's poem 'London':
I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every Man,
In every Infants cry of fear,
In every voice: in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear
@Mark Bannister Ah, I didn't know that! I was reading Blake and thought that the words sounded kinda familiar!
So true - it’s an album that attaches itself to your (northern) soul - so glad you enjoy it so much too!
The soundtrack to my youth; this album is imprinted in my identity. Very dark album, relentless and basically devoid of hope. But all the more beautiful for its bleak atmosphere. "Let The Damage Begin" was also an incredible b-side.
love the description - yes its bloody miserable but brings back plenty of happy memories of the time so actually quite uplifting!
Bittersweet Symphony is one of my favorite songs ever..... and I'm 60. I love the orchestration and that simple bass line hooks into me every time. The Oldham orchestra version of Last Time is amazing, too.
One of my favourite albums of all time, just brilliant.
I totally agree with this assessment. Some of my favorite songs are deep cuts. The ones that weren't huge radio singles. Those songs have much more depth and meaning than what you hear played on the radio. I think many people (especially these days with streaming) don't realize what they are missing by only listening to singles. There can be some gems on an album that they miss out on by not taking time to fully listen all the way through. And I really must give this album a good listen. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊
Excellent choice Mr Hawkins. Nick McCabe's use of simple ideas and crazy space effects are what inspired me to become a guitarist.
I think his secret sauce was the MXR Phase 90.
@@spacesuitor He had many sauces to choose from and yes Phase 90 was one, I believe I saw he used a Ibanez Flanger too. Though throw in the Roland Chorus amps and the variety of other chorus pedals he used on pedal boards help create that beautiful raucous noise that still baffles me to this day. Genius, best soundscape creator of his generation, maybe of all time.
@@spacesuitor Let's not forget the Alesis Quadraverb +
@@ouroldhouse3674 not so much of a secret, but incredibly difficult to purchase

So glad to see the ❤ shown for this album. In Canada, "On Your Own" got some mild rotation as the single. I was fortunate to see them just following the release of A Storm In Heaven on the side stage at Lollapalooza. You knew then that they had something special. But then came this record. The musicianship paired with some interesting production choices (especially the on the verge drum track on Life's An Ocean) made for one stellar sonic journey. What I most enjoyed is after getting intimately familiar with the album was hearing it pulled off live with such finesse. I don't think the band ever got their due in terms of their live shows and how they could bring that same spirit to it.
Hey Justo. This channel is something else fella, just brillant!!
Would be great to hear an episode on INXS.. (Michael Hutchence in particular).
Much ❤️ from Down Unnder!!!
This album needs way more recognition! It’s been a musical inspiration for me ever since I started playing guitar. Nick is a guitar genius.
So cool, that you know these hidden gems.
Dark, fuzzy, ambient, melancholy and ethereal is this albums mood. Makes me feel sad and elated when I listen to it, the last song (reprise) is pure magic. Urban hymns is the gateway to The Verve’s psychedelic back catalogue, if it resonates, you can’t get enough
Copious amounts of E and internal fighting created one of the best albums to come out of this country. Mesmerising work.
Great great album . Urban hymns was brilliant but a northern soul is unbelievable when listened to in it’s entirety. I wouldn’t say I liked or disliked the darkness but love your channel and your eclectic taste in music and your positive outlook on everything. Keep up the good work man
My favorite band.
For Q&A day. I love hearing you talk about how music can move you to tears, but how does it feel when you hear people say they have the same reaction to your music? In a good way, obviously…
Really great album. Ashcroft recently performed drugs don't work with a gospel backing group and it literally took me to church. Underrated singer who hasn't lost sny of his range. Brilliant 🙌🏿
Stormy clouds is one of the brilliant pieces of work they've ever done. Memories of me driving around in a '95 Jeep on summer nights on a back-roads with no doors, no top, and A Northern Soul cranked.
This is an amazing album. So many great albums from the 90s that went under the radar. The Sun is Often Out by Longpigs is a diamond to be sought out for music lovers of this era.
I was listening to it the other day in the car. Every few years I remember it and put it on. Fantastic album. Liked their second album (Mobile Home) as well but “The Sun is Often Out” is just perfection. I even came across the book they were named after and read that as well.
Blue skies by the Longpigs is a-mazing
A dear friend of mine introduced me to this album in 1997 - been one of my favourites since. History is a powerful, moving song - a standout in a sea of gems. Great choice.
Loving this channel mate, thank you for the videos! Congrats on passing 200k 🎊
An undeniable force of a band at their very best. Richard Ashcroft is my favorite singer/songwriter to ever come out of the UK
Really enjoy watching you. You are correct. This is a masterpiece of an album. Stormy Clouds is better than any drug. You also have to acknowledge how talented Nick and Simon were as well.
I liked Bittersweet Symphony when it was released but didn't truly discover The Verve until around 2014... and fell in love with all their music. Truly exceptional. Glad you appreciate them as well :)
Being moved to tears by music is one of my favorite human experiences. Not so much because it's sad but because it's so damn perfect.
I love A Northern Soul, I love how each song just flows into another. I like On Your Own, History as well as Life's An Ocean and Stormy Clouds. I would also check out Storm In Heaven, such an underrated, atmospheric sounding debut album.
Storm in heaven is the better work.
Storm in heaven is better imo
you know Justin, it's quite fantastic seeing all of the organic reverence you have for other bands/musicians... you have a different level of introspect from not only being a talented musician, but a successful one too.... nuthin' but good energy in this one, bub! keep it up and thanx again for helping me get my day going on the right direction once again. cheers, -Swiney
This was one of my favourite albums when it came out. Was about 17 or 18, I think. They weren't hugely popular in New Zealand at the time, and I was the only one in my friend group who had cottoned on to them when I heard On your Own, but that what was okay, that made it feel more special to me.
All of the band are on fire buts it’s a guitar masterclass.
I’m sure I read that Nick McCabe did a lot of the tracks in one take, and when asked to do another, he would ask why.
Owen Morris (producer) said he was probably the most gifted musician he'd ever worked with, also a nightmare to get to play anything the same twice.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Justin; this is how albums like these find new listeners to love them.
Such a brilliant rollercoaster of an albumThis is Music....History....and A Northern Soul - that one lights a fire inside me.
So damned good.
There's also a great performance of theirs in Camden, from 1993 I think, floating around TH-cam.Highly recommended!
Camden 92 I think it was - the dvd comes with the 2016 box-set re-release of A Storm in Heaven
Thank you! I love this album but not listened it in years. I just have and it has soothed my (southern ) soul. Now I'm going to have to revisite Spiritualized's Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space, my god the 90s were special! Xx
I bought this on cassette way back when, and spent a whole summer of unemployment going for walks by the sea with this purring away in the background on my Walkman...I would have bet everything I had (not much when I was out of work 🤣) that they were going to be taking over the world. First 2 Verve albums were truly immense!
Thanks Justin,
It’s one of my favorite albums, I love it so much and have done since I bought it when it first came out. Ashcroft tapped into something powerful and personal which certainly reflected a lot of the band’s audience of that time. It still stands up today and it’s lyrical theme’s of existential despair and searching for hope is ultimately uplifting and a very rewarding listen.
Then there is the rest of the band who created that sound/magic. They were all great musicians that played like a group. McCabe is a genius with a guitar.
Strangely enough, I’ve been putting together a play list from the 92’ until 95’ period including stand alone singles and great “B-Sides”. Remember them? The Verve were great from the very start.
Great record! I’ll never get bored of Drive You Home
Is the voice thing described as vibrato? Excellence as usual Justin. ❤️🇬🇧😉
The wobbly.
Still my favorite band!!!! Richard , Nick , Simon, and Pete!!!!! All there albums are different and great. Richards solo stuff is that of wonder and amazement. They aren’t London boys …. Wigan …. Northern soul!!!! Richard and Liam did a tour together couple years ago …. Soooo good 👍🏽
I'd defo agree about Ashcroft's voice. I saw the Verve at Glastonbury (2009?) while working and I was looking forward to it, but they were bloody exceptional. Their encore was one of the most sublime things I've ever seen.
There aren't many bands that will complete their set with an unknown song like the verve did. Epic.
Live at Haigh Hall 1998 one of greatest shows EVER!!! Weeping willow Nick McCabe on another level!
Your microphone is stellar. It's so tight. I could hear your fingers lol
Lifes an ocean live is as epic as it gets only had the privelage to see verve once but unreal.
Yep, "Life's An Ocean" is buttery perfection & a classic not oft spoken about. The _Urban Hymns_ b-sides like "The Longest Day" are top, as well.
Love the channel Duderama 🙌 Rock on Justin! 🤘😎
Justin , I absolutely fucking love your channel fella which is now a must watch most nights before my slumbers, much like a comforting world service broadcast. Only...its you ,and your especially pertinent tastes and critiques ;to my own. Long may you go on, and... it would be great if you could elaborate on the guitar tutorial aspects of your fab show...maybe like an appendix to each one. Much love

What a great show! Thank you xx
Hi Justin, big fan. My ears pricked up when you mentioned Owen Morris. I've always been fascinated by the job role & personalities of music producers. If you compare say, Rick Rubin (hands off holistic approach with no signature sound) to Phil Spector (bringing a gun into the studio to encourage the artist to achieve his vision), they seem so different. I wondered what do you look for in a producer & how do you decide where the job starts & ends? Cheers, Dan
Speaking of Northern Bands, I'd love you to cover Doves someday (if you haven't already). Absolutely underrated in the scope of Manchester music but they released Lost Souls, which I think is the best Manchester record released in the past 30 years.
Right on the money Justin! I've been listening to that album regularly for over 20 years now. It's an absolute gem!
Brilliant. Again. Top bloke, great musician. Love the channel. Mucho respect.
Ahh man you summed this album up perfectly to how I feel about it. Took a while but when it got under my skin it just stuck. Possibly my favourite album ever!!
Definitely one of my fave albums ever too Justin. 👍🏻
My appreciation for your application for this has not diminished.
Thanks for a better introduction to The Verve. Wrote them off at the time because "Drugs Don't Work" was playing everywhere and I just found it thoroughly depressing. Will be checking out more now. Congrats on over 200K subscribers!
2:50 There's no way I'm going to be able to listen to 'A New Decade' again without hearing your wobble-singing! (And, surely, the Brian Ferry reference was prompted by the 'If love is a drug...' lyric in 'This is Music'.)
12:05 Richard Ashcroft's painting and decorating company went bust because he bought excessive amounts of paint. Too much emulsion, apparently...
It's great to hear you're so passionate about one of my favourite albums as well - and pleasantly surprising: I didn't have you down as a Verve fan. I have to say I've always preferred 'A Storm in Heaven' but this is still great. They had a strange career in reverse, I've always felt: they started experimental (even making saxophones sound great on a rock album) and became more mainstream with each album. I even thought 'A Northern Soul' was too mainstream when it came out, and missed out on getting one of the cardboard sleeves that were first released! I've regretted it ever since.
Didn't know this band had done much at all after bittersweet symphony. Turns out my husband has some of their albums back in his property in mexico and was really into them for a while. He kinda never really mentioned them cause he also lost track of them after a bit.
Will check out for sure!
Thank you!
Much love to you Mr. Hawkins!
I feel so lucky to have seen many of these tracks live when The Verve 'supported' Oasis at Earl's Court on their Be Here Now tour. It's funny how the press are banging on about the anniversary of Be Here Now this week and all I can think of is The Verve. When they left the stage that night, I remember turning to my friend and saying "how can you follow that?" We both knew we'd witnessed something special.
Both A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns masterpieces and History, lyrically, is probably some of Ashcroft's best songwriting. So, so glad you did this video, thank you!
I'm going to listen to this after watching your video. Thank you!
🇬🇧
Despite being a single, History has no real video because the band had already split up when it released. So Richard just got lots of earlier clips of the band edited together from other videos. Watch the video and you'll see the "Official Video" is just that.
This album was way ahead of its time. Like miles ahead and I think it was not given enough credit. Owen Morris almost had a complete breakdown recording it saying he would never wanna go through this chaos again (little did he know what would happen years later with wtsmg recording sessions...). It was recorded basically from dusk to dawn everyday and you cam feel it. Lyrically is superb.
One of the best, most underrated, bands of the modern era. I was fortunate enough to see them during one of their rare US tours at the Mayan Theater in LA in '97. Amazing show.
I love it too man!! It’s in my top five…..goosebumps all over the shop ❤️
It’s a proper journey and needs to be experienced from front to back
Ever since I moved from Singapore to Finland about 5 years ago, I can listen to THIS album from start to finish on my long winter walks. It's just PERFECTION. Especially during the long, cold and dark nordic winters. Urban Hymns doesn't have that magic that Northern Soul has. Just my opinion.
Dear Justin,
Thanks SO much for reminding me of this album. You and I are around the same age, and I too have wept many a time to this album, so I COMPLETELY understand what you speak of. Ashcroft is brilliant, and Nick McCabe…aaaw, man! ❤
Great Sunday afternoon listen from another great show. Thanks😀
