[@RicardoRuizAlvarado]

musically, masterpieces are few… this is the best of all

[@woofdog1525]

You could play this song a million times in a row and never get bored of it ✌🏾

[@maxhutton1624]

Indeed 👍

[@pedroromao261]

Yup. Play it all the time for years.

[@user-py8zl6tm3y]

That's me😊

[@jimweinland911]

Absolutely amazing song still 2024

[@linoma57]

this might be the greatest song in the history of the world

[@zer0953]

+linoma57 if there was a list, this would definitely be in top 10

[@linoma57]

+zer0 95 yes sir

[@OneAndOnlyLC]

Also the most relevant. Everyone can relate to this.

[@publicimagelive6420]

+linoma57 Even including classical music, probably still top 5 for me.

[@designerlarry]

--My life. Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die. Yep, my blueprint

[@andydufresne87]

As someone who grew up during the 90's this music is like a soundtrack for my own life...

[@tenpmathome]

+andydufresne87 fucking so ture...

[@cesarnashiro4322]

True. One of the 100 best songs of 90's. (between 1 and 20 position)

[@tenpmathome]

My top 3.

[@antocarola22]

[@user-ib7iu1gs3b]

My favorite song for real. Never gets old.

[@sludy100]

Just made me realize how good the 90s was.

[@calderas]

This version must be the one from the last tour in 2008. I love all the elements and noises. The strength and vibration of each note is captured. exalts all the soul

[@robyrobinson8428]

that violin hook is addictive ...and yes i have been down

[@dianemtuttle2107]

We all have. Unfortunate.

[@johnnylussac]

@@dianemtuttle2107 facts🙏🏻🥴

[@janmenzinga]

We have been down because of sickness and still are not on the level we want to be. This briljant song (and also e.g. Two Stories Wide - Willie Nelson) are helping to stay tuned and look forward in stead of back. And so is my new job, as a busdriver. Thanks, (The) Verve!

[@bradbechtold2939]

Saw them warm up for KISS in Charlotte, NC in the early 90s. This song was the highlight of the evening

[@jesminaharapej2127]

Omg this is my favorit song ever❤

[@davidgonzalezcarrasco8304]

Una de mis canciones de toda la vida,nunca me cansaré de escucharla,la conocí con 28 años y hoy con 50 años sigo vibrando igual que cuando la escuché por 1 vez.

[@AndreaGiuseppeLazzari]

This is a masterpiece version of a masterpiece!

[@davsco3650]

💙 great statement ❤

[@paulmilne8290]

Exactly, the bass arrangement tied in with other elements makes this version so fucking beautiful.... peace out ppl x

[@VicDominatus]

The perfect song. One of the great songs of our generation.

[@sunthismarch]

what a beautiful song, and sung by a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. love love love it

[@1ColdFuture]

"There's nobody singing to me now" That's how I feel about this generation of Music.

[@KilIMinusTheK]

This may be how every generation throughout history has felt about their successors.

Que chingona canción, esta canción la escuché por el año de 1998.

[@davidhiram8045]

What a piece of ART

[@marywayland1641]

Yes I believe he might have the very best voice in existence. I Grew up in 70s'. Can't believe I didn't know of him. That's what drugs will do unfortunately. He has the most beautiful voice I ever heard and the compassion and energy he has make him one of a be kind. Didn't think anyone could take me away from Eric Clapton....and he saved my life on many a dark. And he didn't sell out! You can tell the difference between ones who did and didn't. 99 present did and 1 didn't. I love you Richard Ashcroft!!! Him and Lynnard Skinard! Awesome you r an inspiration.

[@thelegendinhisownmind7038]

This song was released in the late 90's, not the 70's.....Just so you know.

[@neilgellatly8257]

One of the best live performances I've heard, love it

[@ArmandoCastillo-lo3yq]

[@phdcredible5211]

This group still gives me chills at times. What a great band.

[@michaelg2502]

Damn he has some pipes! Looks totally relaxed too. Must be fun to perform like that. Kudos to this artist, he has already paid his dues to me.

[@johnsellars246]

fantastic song sung by a genius!!!

[@user-po5fh5lc8h]

That's Davide Rossi on violin, a good friend of Chris Martin's and the player and arranger of every Coldplay string part since 2008!

[@sonnet423]

Guy Fawks nice to see a fellow coldplayer. Richard and Chris are my heroes. I've met both.

[@stefanoiaquinta8970]

Davide Rossi also plays in a McCabe's project called Black Submarine with the bass player Simon Jones. Didn''t you know that? ☺

[@Jayovspenny]

I never knew that mind wow 😮

[@tinasullivan6602]

Richard Ashcroft....and along with the "Verve"....the best ever...for real. This is about Life....thank you...T

[@MiguelOtoya1001]

Entre todas las canciones que e oído en mi vida esta es un himno al rock clásico moderno,

[@1ColdFuture]

Can we just agree that the 90s was the best era for music in general?

[@nickkasman8946]

Mid 60's to early 70's too

[@anishpatole7927]

This song makes me cry and think about my past decision and the mistakes of my life so far

[@lindsayadams6701]

The best arrangement this song could ever deliver. I love how the bass has been tweaked throught the track. This is the best version of this classic by a country mile. Amazing!!!!!x

@Mark Brewin simple is honest

[@renzorojas1995]

Esta cancion me conecta directamente a los 10 años 😢 que bonita es la musica

[@Nav1g8r1]

I watched this live when it was broadcast on the Red Button. I watched it 3 times on iPlayer in the following week and it was removed. I didn't think I would ever see this again as The Verve and the BBC are very protective about their work. The whole set was amazing. Just simply awesome.

[@manuelurbina1198]

Greetings from Spain! The best song, the best singer and the best rock band!

[@porfiriocanojr4249]

Wow this is an awesome version of this song

[@leonshadwell9404]

Simply one of the most freakin wonderful vocal performances I've ever seen/heard

[@dianmarin]

They're not one of those so-called musicians who write craps. You know, those who: "Hey, I wanna hook up." "OMG that's a good lyric line. Just repeat that over and over, then let's put some autotune and get Skrillex to do the melody. And wear ridiculously weird outfits. We'll get a shitload money." The Verve (and Oasis), unlike them, they are true about their music. They don't only have talent in composing melody, they also have message behind what they sing. And kids, THIS IS MUSIC.

[@yannarobert3917]

Ashcroft est un artiste profond , un cerveau une voix un charisme certain

[@YellowFender]

Usually such a big song is a bit of a let down live but man they can play it live

[@pathreeseowneel376]

This here is the 90’s anthem. Before technology and millennials made everything complicated.

[@mayitoforreal]

Que culpa tengo yo

[@Alphamask978]

This song is so perfect and really seemed to be a defining era moment of 1997 & the 90’s with its poetry and the imagery belonging to that moment in time. But I like though that it is still used today and is still relatable.
