Richard Ashcroft - Birds Fly (Official Audio)

[@trayc2762]

Ashcroft simply sublime . Always relevant, not concerned with trampling the celebrity circuit; he quietly works away with understated brilliance. From the firat time I heard "History" by 'The Verve' through his "Urban Hymns'' and "Forth" with aforementioned band; to his early solo work 'Song for the lovers,' he's always innovative, vacillating between the hauntingly beautiful melancholic nihilistic 90s era; Songs as relevant today as ever and still sounding fresh.... Through to a different place now but never reluctant (as some of his contemporaties are!) to play the earlier music..Ashcroft is one of a tiny number of greats from the era that we still see blaze as brightly today. Doherty, Alex Turner (albeit both a bit younge,r arriving a little later) Noel Gallagher.....but for me,; Ashcroft is arguably the finest lyricist and vocalist of his (and my ) generation. A cogemt tour de force referencing matters the average nobody like me and many can identify with; The seminal voice for us all. 👌 Destined to be appreciated as one of the true greats across any genre and era. Oh! and probably the coolest dude on the planet (along with Mr. Paul Weller.) Thanks Richard; you've made my mundane, unremarkable, 42 years in the world better by simply existing. .The soundtrack to my teens through now to early middle age:.The soundtrack of my life.,🎵🎸.

Fantastic song, fantastic album, fantastic lyrics. from the Lifelong Fan.

That swelling sound of violins in the background of the chorus brought tears to my eyes. What a tune! Definitely highlight of the album.

[@stormyclouds8409]

Down there wasted out of luck, looking at two black angels, that I took. From the street, yeah it’s dirty, but I was lonely, looking at the heavens but they disown me, why? Oh why? And if you ever get to heaven drop him a line, say I didn’t do no stealing, I did no crime, I just let myself go, when I was a kid, and, look what you did done did again, lord. I’m gonna find some time.....

[@victorescalona7760]

He used lyrics from sweet and sour for this song, didn’t he? Thought it sounded familiar first time I heard this track.

[@PerpetualAlfa]

@@victorescalona7760 He actually demo’d Bird’s Fly in 1996 (search for “verve - don’t you want me”) and then he reused some the lyrics for Sweet and Sour which was recorded in 1997. So they originate from this song first

[@juliahalligan3023]

Fabulous, Amazing, fantastic!

A sensible and very natural song from new album Natural Rebel of Richard Ashcroft i like a lot.

[@gigiarcbeat]

Bien Ricardo! Argentina acá!

[@indicatoker420]

Love Richard Ashcroft. A lot say his songs are 'just' depressing but that is not the case at all. Think of bittersweet symphony, he sings about both sides of life, the good and bad. Therefore singing about how life really is, not sugarcoated crap.

[@barryhamilton7845]

Only those who haven't felt the power of his music say that...Unfortunately for them!!

[@dianasolangegonquir8654]

Te amo Richard y este año te veré Genio Musical,lo sé.

[@andersonmorales115]

Down there naked, out of luck Looking into back and just things you brought from the street Yeah, you did it, but your shoe's lonely Looking at the heavens, but they disown you You were tryin' to understand what's the illusion You faith in man, but you keep on losing And you let yourself go like you as a kid Look, what you are feeling again Birds fly, the woman climbs, and I know Oh, that I could use some winter sun They're dancing in a pool down the proper moon Oh, let my tears all fall Did you know that birds, they fly too on the clouds? Did you know that birds, they fly? Yeah, they fly Yeah, they fly Yeah, they fly They say, that time's a great healer, but it's taking away To get me to the place where you will be the waves And the signs, they would flash on your boats while Maybe you remember to give me a call If you ever get to heaven, give me a shout I need to know what the story is about Will you say my name to saints on the way? Will you give me some charge, just take this plane away? Birds fly, the woman climbs, and I know Oh, that I could use some winter sun They're dancing in a pool down the proper moon Oh, let my tears all fall Birds fly, the woman climbs, and I know Oh, that I could use some winter sun They're dancing out on the line sometime They're out wondering where you've gone Did you know that birds, they fly too on the clouds? Did you know that birds, they fly too on the clouds? Did you know that birds, they fly too on the clouds? Did you know that birds, they fly too on the clouds? Did you know that birds, they fly too on the clouds? Did you know that birds, they fly too on the clouds?

@@FerryLuckyMan yes but an old verve tune

[@FerryLuckyMan]

@@Gabriel-zk9gb what's the problem with that? He wrote it and it was never launched officially. If The Verve is done forever, I prefer Ashcroft go rescue some old demos

[@Gabriel-zk9gb]

@@FerryLuckyMan Nothing, I really like that he turn old rare demos in beautiful things.
