"Lead singer Richard Ashcroft wrote the song in early 1995. He briefly mentioned it in an interview at the time, relating it to his drug usage: "There's a new track I've just written ... It goes 'the drugs don't work, they just make me worse, and I know I'll see your face again'. That's how I'm feeling at the moment. They make me worse, man. But I still take 'em. Out of boredom and frustration you turn to something else to escape" Wikipedia.

1:48 I wanna have that moment someday.. ❤️😥

Laura,

And the world in better place lord Richard Ashcroft thank you

Shame that the audio is badly distorted. I can tell the audio had been clipping after someone raised the gain too much. It would be great to hear the actual source recording of the audio, before some idiot messed it up.

They need to regroup

it's they were playing in a trance

Best song about cancer ever . It hits me in the guts . I'm sure it means the same to millions

He's frighteningly talented.

Seen them so many times. Brilliant live. One of the bands I’ve seen. From a town 40 mins away xxxxx

Actually the best version is when they did it on mtv unplugged with electric guitar.

1 of the best and most true songs ever wrote just outstanding

My husband Philip, sad journey with cancer, to know and be to,d your dying and there is no hope ffs 😡😡😡

Moving! Love this song!

This version is so beautiful...Richard does an amazing job of singing. The crowd seems to love what they are hearing. They are so connected with Richard and The Verve.

Oh yes oh lord I believe everything that Richard is singing. The drugs don’t work.

His voice is so incredibly strong, in the lower, middle and higher regions. It’s just a flawless voice and he uses it with such emotion. Plus, the song is absolutely brilliant. Wow; so moving.

The guy who Liam Gallagher thinks he is.

Where concert

this song still better than all of oasis songs

No the best version (no bow's instruments) but a very good version

The masks don't work. They just make it worse and I hope I see your face again.

So true.... sometimes it doesn't work at all.. It gets worse...and I died a few times but keep coming back, lucky me... but I'm sober now and don't ever wanna go back in the purple Haze

For my mate Lewis, he's fighting addiction, he moved away from me to a better place, he was a good mate 😞 loyal as a good dog

this song is better than any coldplay songs

Magnifique chanson

The song is about his father's struggle with Cancer and all the drugs they tried on not working!! It's bittersweet and is timeless!
