When my dad passed away in 2009 this song was my “dark night of the soul” he struggled with alcoholism and died to young. He was a artist a musician and the most creative man I ever knew. Sending love to all who’ve lost someone. ❤

[@philipdurling1964]

My Dad was dying from lung cancer when this song came out. This is the first time that I have been able to listen to it in nearly 30 years. The tears won't stop.

[@robuk670]

❤❤ Stay strong m8

[@hellbentholland1008]

Brave of you to admit that to yourself and then to share with all of us. Thanks for that. Love and light to you & yours, for always.

[@ronniecox5910]

Be strong pal !

[@LordChuy]

God bless you buddy

[@sherbertdip6924]

24 years have passed so quickly since Urban Hymns. Nice to look back. Love the addition of the piano at the start. Good work Richard.

[@MrSmid888]

Piano is throughout sir, but yes haunting when to the fore at the beginning 👌🏻

[@LIVERNIL723]

I love Richard Ashcroft. Underrated 1990s. Nobody makes music like this anymore apart from our Liam.

[@s111mbad]

Don't think he's ever been underrated mate, the exact opposite, mans a legend

[@adhdadam738]

I second that Alex Ashcroft will go down in history.

[@robuk670]

Ascrot and Gallagher were the 90s band and cast

[@robuk670]

Ur spot on 🎉🎉🎉

[@andrewonmyway8184]

A classic! Keep on rocking Ashcroft

This is one of the best tunes ever wrote...!! Mark G Dublin Ireland !!

Soooo beautiful To tears 😭❤️❤️❤️

Richard's Art has the power to bring you up every time you need it. Genius and world's treasure

[@Buddhavibez]

This song conjures up so many bitter sweet memories of all the friends and family taken too soon😔

[@Murilo991]

Bitter sweet? 👀

[@lorygraziella5201]

Come from Bittersweet Symphony and Sonnet

[@Buddhavibez]

@@Murilo991 yes bitter that theyve gone, but sweet because the memories of them never die

[@stottselena]

Yep my brothers fav song before taking his own life

[@Buddhavibez]

@@stottselena sorry to hear that, ive had a few friends check out 💔

[@flaherty199]

Best album release to come out in a long time. Growing up I loved urban hymns, alone with everyone and keys to the world, they were some of my favourite albums. This album just takes me back to hanging out with my pals getting drunk and stoned on the street corner, listening to these amazing tunes on my walkman. Thankyou Richard for this acoustic gem. ♥️🎶

[@user-vh6ts9uf6c]

Really? He has just repeated an album that was already made and taken out the decent guitar from it. He sounds like a pub singer these days. Embarrassing sell out

[@flaherty199]

@@user-vh6ts9uf6c you F@#ckin mad! his voice is reel and full of soul. Not like alot of this auto tune shit what makes you sound like a robot. And he's given his old classic tunes a new lease of life which I really liked. And it's classic tunes off 3 different albums re recorded.

[@sharoncopeland4429]

Beautiful version, Richards voice is still so majestic x

[@federicomacagno]

Genio! Please come back to Argentina! 🖤🇦🇷

[@igorossola5754]

Goosebump. Thanks for this beautiful sad poetry.

[@itsazappathingthesonof272]

Your show in Liverpool was just outstanding. Come back soon.

[@Jess60927]

So much more poignant …I love this version. It touches a lot deeper.

[@soybeanmendez8058]

I didn't think this song could get any better or sadder 😍😢 i can't stop listening to it. You've got me in tears😭 It's so beautiful and the strings compliment your beautiful voice. Well done Richard👏👏👏

[@drakaivh]

True it can't be better or sadder

Wow 😳 i'm so impressed with the work on this song sounds familiar but at the same time so different and so many ways

[@Sean-parker]

Spent four months in the falklands, every time the verve the drugs don’t work came on in the bar everyone to a man sang the words and missed their Loved ones. United together with a great song, then chumba Whumba thumped a tub.
