I honestly feel so sorry for anyone who is too young to have experienced the 90's. There will never be a time as artistically rich and intense, with true and important artists, and music like this. I thank God that my teen years were squarely within the 90's.
I agree...even missing 80's like queen etc is such a shame as you will never find ACTUALLY GOOD SINGERS like from in the 80's-90s ever again it's sad really
25 years old in Summer 98’ sitting outside with a beer and friends with Urban Hymns playing, little did I know that this music would forever live in my heart.
Same here. Discovered a used CD in a record store, half scratched that would only play all the way through sometimes - and it still became one of my favorite albums ever.
I took Urban Hymns with me when i went to rehab to get off heroin many years ago. I used to listen to Weeping Willow a lot while i was there. That song helped me get off the smack. Thank you Weeping Willow.

This song sends you into a different dimension. The musical distortion is a beautiful mix of confusion and sorrow. The first time I heard this song I felt like I rediscovered music

For me this is, without any exaggeration, the best british song of all times ! I love The Smiths, The Curem, Beatles, The Jam, Happy Mondays, Blur, Oasis and tons more. But Richard Ashcroft just blows me away every time.
Myriam H To be honest, I love his ego :) He was not shy to loop his own voice on Love is Noise. He repeatedly used his songs to tell us what was he through. Shame I never saw him live. I might fulfill that dream hopefully :) I think I heard more than enough of Bittersweet Symphony, which is a shame, because it's a damn good song.
jan pasek I hadn't heard them in decades, so few weeks ago, hearing Lucky Man really made my heart smile. Then a friend and I were talking about weeping willow trees and this one came up. Then it happened again, so I found and played the song. Now, all day until now I'e been tortured with Weeping Willow as the eternally ethereal, comforting, and hypnotic ear worm.
Driving up north in the snow with this cranked up, no feeling can describe it!!! The Verve were the greatest band to never recieve the credit they deserved!!! I consider myself to be one of their biggest fans out there, their music changed my life for the better!
Ashwin Haldipur The Verve have been there with me for 30 years, they changed the way I see life and their music expresses feelings and emotions that I cannot express. with words.Ashcroft and Mccabe forever!
For me theres the verve & stone roses...both brilliant in their own way....i couldnt say whiich is best cos theyre both brilliant in their own way..imo anyway. But this track i love....still in my top 10 all these yrs later. ....
Still the best band in the world! So honest and true! Real people with real feelings. They don't make 'm like that anymore! Thx verve 4 guiding wisdom !
The genius of this song/record is the sequence of this song followed by 'Lucky Man' on the LP. The fact that Richard and the band can so poignantly express both extremes in life is proof of their collective genius. The Verve will always be criminally underrated, especially here in the US. It's a shame that they had to break up three times because musical chemistry is a blessing from the universe.
+musicsaves97 it really is and i wish they'd all realize this. i heard ashcroft's new track. it's pretty good but tell me that song wouldn't be better with his three bandmates backing him? Urban Hymns would have been a disaster compared to what it turned out to be, if it had gone on as planned (an Ashcroft solo album). Forth was a decent return to form...too bad it's unlikely we'll see a Fifth.
The most soul haunting song the Verve have ever produced.... I can relate to this song in every way from morning breaks, saving me, the pills under my pillow, and most definitely the gun under my pillow...... Into eternity
When morning breaks We hide our eyes and our lungs aching Nothing strange It was in our hands from six to ten It slipped right out again There'll be no better time There'll be no better way There'll be no better day to save me Save me Yeah, save me Yeah, save me I hope you see like I see, oh, oh I hope you see what I see, yeah, yeah I hope you feel like I feel, yeah And the world don't stop There is no time for cracking up Believe me friend 'Cause when freedom comes I'll be long gone You know it has to end There'll be no better time There'll be no better way There'll be no better day to save me Yeah, save me Yeah, save me Yeah, save me I hope you see like I see, yeah, yeah I hope you feel what I feel, yeah, yeah Someone to stand beside me Beside me Beside me, now is not the time to cry Beside me Beside me Whether you see or whether you don't, beside me Whether you feel or whether you won't, beside me Whether you see or whether you don't, beside me Whether you feel or whether you won't, beside me Whether you see or whether you won't, beside me Whether you feel beside me I hope you see like I see beside me I hope you feel what I feel beside me I hope you see like I see beside me I hope you feel what I feel beside me Weeping willow The pills under my pillow Weeping willow The pills under my pillow Weeping willow The gun under your pillow Weeping willow Weeping willow I got to learn to leave the pain Walk through the door and kiss the rain beside me, beside me I got to learn to leave the pain Walk through the door and kiss the rain beside me, beside me
This song always reminds me of 9/11/01. I was watching the news coverage while the radio was on and this song came on and it just stuck with me ever since.
unquestionably one of the best track the verve ever made true depth and lots of emotion. this song saved my life as i was near the end thanks richard ashcroft the words mean so much more to me xx
When that familiar bassline first hits.. Peak moment in many late night drives from home to college or back. Favorite song from favorite album of my life.
what an incredible song. "and the world don't stop, there is no time for cracking up, believe me friend"...everything about it, some of the best atmospheric guitar work by McCabe on the entire album, and that's saying something...the drum beat...EVERYTHING about this song is excellent. thanks for posting.

never really thought of this as one of my favourite songs even tho i love it but still i find myself over the past years coming back to listen to it more than other songs
Yes this a classic album - 20 years old nearly but it will go down as a classic album/ band - like The Who, like the first Oasis album , I was in my 20's through Brit Pop , it is my 60's .. Dublin Castle, Blur , playing loads of gigs , great times
Robert Mcafee Glastonbury 1995 oasis and all the other great bands that no so called artist can come near say in legendary music status will ever come close to producing classics like we had in our heyday
The 1990s was the decade I became a teenager and as a lover of all types of music it was filled with conveyer belt of different excellent genres..pop rock jungle rap grunge rock dance trance dnb ukGarage I honestly can go on and on...never also forget the abundant films all classics and original the TV was brilliant tv polar opposite of today!...tunes like this one I didn't listen to until I had a trip on a national express back to Uni I borrowed my brothers cd Urban Hyms album...my fave Verve tune ❤2ALL ✌🤜🏾
Class song from a superb, timeless album. Is it just me or was music better in the 90's? Great memories of growing up then. Wish I could re-live those good times.
Listening to it again after reading your comment....I would never have thought of this song, but you are so right - the lyrics are so today. I hope you're all safe and well.
I remember around this period most people thought 'If you want to make great music, you've got to sound like Oasis'. Then this album came out and just blew everyones minds with the possibilities of what music could really be. I loved Oasis, and still do now, but this album was so original and out there in a class of its own, it was then and still is now, truly special.
@@paolo-n2000 I've heard them all, I like them 👌... but was just saying they sound so good again now. Urban Hymns has been a classic since day 1.

15-25 for me. Can't argue with that.
Couldn't agree more seems there are artists not willing to push boundaries its all very samey and boring
This song reminds me of so much
Goooood times are hard to forget I suppose but glad I knew these era s 👍
@@veronica3986 2 doves job done sorted
Richard is one of the greatest ever Brit songwriters. No doubt.
And the most beautiful voice in the world!!!
Most, definitely! x l4e x
Without doubt❤
25 years old in Summer 98’ sitting outside with a beer and friends with Urban Hymns playing, little did I know that this music would forever live in my heart.
24 years old here, and still listening to them since I was 15.
I get you mate, that album is a classic. Its one of those rare albums where you just let it play because each and every song is very very good.
Are you looking for get Carter you look like him
❤️
Again 😌🌈I call best Musical Band Berm bopper
This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Urban Hymns, for me one of top ten albums of all time.
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Same here. Discovered a used CD in a record store, half scratched that would only play all the way through sometimes - and it still became one of my favorite albums ever.
The best
Top 3 for me
the best song on urban hymns in my opinion
Genius. The record label didn't make it, so you did.
I HOPE YOU SEE LIKE I SEE Ah Ah
I HOPE YOU SEE WHAT I SEE yeah yeah
I HOPE YOU FEEL LIKE I FEEEEEL
Absolute belter!!

Pure magic
@@craigmcfarlane2462 pure honest melody
well not sure about of all time lol
Amazing
When those first notes come in I get goosebumps 😍
the best British band out of the 90s , fuck everyone else , passion, power, beauty and great front man.....I wish they kept going
agreed, BUT i got to say OASIS too, the Verve had the recognition but nowhere near as much as they should of had.
Got to say Radiohead trumps both of them. But each to their own :-)
WildMorgan i love Radiohead too mate, amazing just for pure emotion the verve where beautiful. No body does what Radiohead does I'll give u that
Fuck off what about the spice girls
Definitely one of the the best. Not so keen on Richard Ashcroft’s solo stuff.
The reason this band wasn't popular because most people are sheep and recognize or hear or understand pure genius what a underrated band and talent
For me this is, without any exaggeration, the best british song of all times !
I love The Smiths, The Curem, Beatles, The Jam, Happy Mondays, Blur, Oasis and tons more. But Richard Ashcroft just blows me away every time.
Most defo agree with u there. Love it
Myriam H Most definitely they are :) I love Morrison and Marr.
But still got that soft spot for Richard...always will :)
Myriam H To be honest, I love his ego :) He was not shy to loop his own voice on Love is Noise. He repeatedly used his songs to tell us what was he through. Shame I never saw him live. I might fulfill that dream hopefully :)
I think I heard more than enough of Bittersweet Symphony, which is a shame, because it's a damn good song.
jan pasek Ride is awesome, too. Check out their songs Vapor Trail, Leave Them All Behind, and OX4

Best Verve song and just one of the best in general
Driving up north in the snow with this cranked up, no feeling can describe it!!! The Verve were the greatest band to never recieve the credit they deserved!!! I consider myself to be one of their biggest fans out there, their music changed my life for the better!
Tony Sproule I am as yet undecided on which is my favourite band of all time? The Stone Roses or The Verve?
Ashwin Haldipur The Verve have been there with me for 30 years, they changed the way I see life and their music expresses feelings and emotions that I cannot express. with words.Ashcroft and Mccabe forever!
Me too friend. Good to know there are others who feel the same.
For me theres the verve & stone roses...both brilliant in their own way....i couldnt say whiich is best cos theyre both brilliant in their own way..imo anyway. But this track i love....still in my top 10 all these yrs later. ....
This and Sonnet. The best on this top 20 album of all time. Listened to this and Northern Soul in a pub in Glastonbury , Christmas 1998. Blew my mind.
This RA Song Speaks Volumes. It has a mixture of sadness mixed with raw emotion. Love It
Still the best band in the world! So honest and true! Real people with real feelings. They don't make 'm like that anymore! Thx verve 4 guiding wisdom !
One of the best songs ever written.
Stoned. Magical. Gorgeous. ♥
2019. Richard Ashcroft man you got me through some tough times in the past.
I feel ya, mate.
Absolutely life changing, there until the end.
And was a choice to play simply cos its a classic....wherever my head was at....lovely times l
One word....Haunting
Shake, This is 2024 adding, this introspection, communicated, is fragile and priceless. ❤

Great part of the album the trifecta of Space and Time, Weeping Willow, and Lucky Man
SPOT ON! 7-8-9, best trifecta in an album EVER.
The most soul haunting song the Verve have ever produced.... I can relate to this song in every way from morning breaks, saving me, the pills under my pillow, and most definitely the gun under my pillow...... Into eternity
Amazing amazing amazing
When morning breaks
We hide our eyes and our lungs aching
Nothing strange
It was in our hands from six to ten
It slipped right out again
There'll be no better time
There'll be no better way
There'll be no better day to save me
Save me
Yeah, save me
Yeah, save me
I hope you see like I see, oh, oh
I hope you see what I see, yeah, yeah
I hope you feel like I feel, yeah
And the world don't stop
There is no time for cracking up
Believe me friend
'Cause when freedom comes
I'll be long gone
You know it has to end
There'll be no better time
There'll be no better way
There'll be no better day to save me
Yeah, save me
Yeah, save me
Yeah, save me
I hope you see like I see, yeah, yeah
I hope you feel what I feel, yeah, yeah
Someone to stand beside me
Beside me
Beside me, now is not the time to cry
Beside me
Beside me
Whether you see or whether you don't, beside me
Whether you feel or whether you won't, beside me
Whether you see or whether you don't, beside me
Whether you feel or whether you won't, beside me
Whether you see or whether you won't, beside me
Whether you feel beside me
I hope you see like I see beside me
I hope you feel what I feel beside me
I hope you see like I see beside me
I hope you feel what I feel beside me
Weeping willow
The pills under my pillow
Weeping willow
The pills under my pillow
Weeping willow
The gun under your pillow
Weeping willow
Weeping willow
I got to learn to leave the pain
Walk through the door and kiss the rain beside me, beside me
I got to learn to leave the pain
Walk through the door and kiss the rain beside me, beside me
Just an incredible song, with incredible lyrics
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 what a band..
Richard Ascroft you're a living legend.
Tons of love from India❤️❤️
Forever my friend Polly Matthew's.. love you and thanks for reminding me of this song and others . Miss you x
Like the man himself told me, it’s all about soul music. I need to learn to ease my pain, walk through that door and kiss the rain.
This song always reminds me of 9/11/01. I was watching the news coverage while the radio was on and this song came on and it just stuck with me ever since.
I fell in love with this song 12 seconds into it and this is my FIRST time hearing it.😍😍😍
unquestionably one of the best track the verve ever made true depth and lots of emotion. this song saved my life as i was near the end thanks richard ashcroft the words mean so much more to me xx
Best tune on the album. Saw these boys loads of times. Class will never die. Ashcroft = legend
maybe best Verve song there is. it always puts me in a certain mood, not even sure how to describe it
The way this whole album still sounds so fresh and exciting as the first time I heard it all those years ago. ❤
Truly magnificent ❤️❤️❤️
When that familiar bassline first hits.. Peak moment in many late night drives from home to college or back. Favorite song from favorite album of my life.
This iconic song defines just how incredible the musical sound between McCabe and Ashcroft, it still mezmorizes me Everytime I listen!
I love this song. Brings me back to possibly the best time of my life. I love Richard's voice.
it's like I'm going to my best Dreams in Live! yeah, but I live my Live! and the Verve and Richard will save me!- thank You***xx
Such a great hazy drug laden tune. In the throes of addiction.
One of the very best singer song writers in the world without a doubt ❤
What always stands out for me with Aschcrofts vocals, is how unique his harmonizing is.
Always brings me to tears. The Verve are genius; Nick McCabe is not from this world!
Never Forget Mr.Richard Ashcroft my friend ;-)
He's from Wigan init
no words can explain how I truly truly love this song. I know my music history but its fair to say the UK have produced the best rock/indi musicians
Finally on TH-cam ... probably the best song ever released
what an incredible song. "and the world don't stop, there is no time for cracking up, believe me friend"...everything about it, some of the best atmospheric guitar work by McCabe on the entire album, and that's saying something...the drum beat...EVERYTHING about this song is excellent. thanks for posting.

their song which touches me most. by far.

Urban Hymns my favourite album of the 90's!
Pure class. Seen the verve loads of times and they are just as good live. Bring back the 90's
Listen how long Richard holds the notes for. Genuine unstylized vocal truth power.
Resonance especially at the end refrain

One of the best videos on the tube! When you watch it nomally it's an experiance, but when your hi, It's out of this world! ;0)
