[@harleyquinn5826]

Richard, don't let the haters get to you, there are many people who swim against the tide and put some thought into the things they listen to. I am a gen z and I love your music. I'm sad that it doesn't get as much attention, but at the same time not surprised, as you know, Bach and Beethoven aren't listened as much either but that's because most are swimming with the tide. I love that you make art for the sake of art and not for the sake of money or fame. Please know your music means a lot to me and that you are in good company with my favorite composers: George Harrison, The Beatles, Bach, Taylor Swift , Beethoven, and RICHARD ASHCROFT!

This man is a pure genius. So many incredible songs. Urban hymns blows any oasis album away. He's got so much soul. I've got every verve and solo tune Richard has done. That acoustic hymns is amazing. Velvet morning what a song. I was 18 when urban hymns was released.

[@jemmace2586]

The new king of cool, has been for a while in my book, just simple narratives but lost in the imaginings of all we think is normal, we need to hear these things, some a lot more than others, break the shackles. Live, love and be happy and be good to others.

You on my Mind in my Sleep 11. C'mon People 12. Nature Is The Law 13. Hold On 14. Music Is Power 15. Keys to the World One of the most marvellous voices and personas in pop/rock history. What a career spanning catalogue he has created!

Big up Richard Ashcroft the last time we met were 2006 when I ft in his video music is power. What an amazing experience Richard Ashcroft is an amazing person. I we’re the bell boy

[@elcal9600]

One of Englands greatest ever song writers and musicians. The Verve's 'A Northern Soul' was the best album of the 90's for me and I listen to it now pretty much once or twice a week.

[@LaceyMckenna-ux5ux]

Love this song so much. Feels like the world could easily be living and working together in harmony. Gives me faith and hope in humanity when I hear it. It's so inspirational and beautiful. ❤️🙏

This guy still rules!!! I still believe in magic 'cause that is what he does, long life for this master, Mexico will always be waiting for you 🙌😊👍🇲🇽

[@captainjack3229]

I never knew who Richard Ashcroft was five years ago. However, when I saw the music video of "Bittersweet Symphony" from the 1997 Urban Hymns album, that changed my perspective on not only my life, but with society and music. In that moment, I fell in love with Britpop. I went to listen the rest of the songs in the Urban Hymns album, which I love a lot. Then, I discovered you went on a solo career and released your first official solo album "Alone with Everybody" back in 2000. I listened every song in that album and I LOVED it as well. After that, I also took the time to listen to "Human Conditions" (2002), "Keys to the World" (2006), United Nations of Sound (2010), These People (2016) and Natural Rebel (2018). Since then, I'm always waiting on your next masterpiece. Earlier this year, you released a magnificent cover of John Lennon's "Bring on the Lucie (FREDA PEEPLE). This month, you also released an acoustic version of the iconic song "Bittersweet Symphony". The same song that made me discover who Richard Ashcroft was and still is: A true legend. With this music video bringing another classic song back to life while also taking a look of your legendary life from your humble beginnings, your relationship with Kate, your wonderful children, and the dedication of this music video to your loved one, Rita (R.I.P.) was so motivating and emotional as well. I should do this thing called life because it's just one short life we all have. Things come and go in this fragile life. While other people are listening to today's garbage music, I listen to your music instead. I'm not for that world. Thanks to you, I can still hear this beauty in life. Music is Power! Thank you, King Ashcroft!

Life is a tough ride for many of us. Just remember that you have beat the difficult times before and will continue to do so. You being here now is testament to your strength as a human. Best of luck to you and take care x

[@chriscairney8872]

1974. I don’t know you either but I have lost both my parents around 2015. I know it is a year after you wrote that post but I am here to tell you that it will get better and you will get through it and be stronger for the experience. I really hope you can get your Dad to stop drinking. As Sir Richard said “tie yourself to the mast my friend and the storm will end”. The mast is Music. “Music is Power”and it will fuel your recovery. Good Luck and God Bless 74….
