Nick McCabe is the best guitarist of his generation by far!

[@nathaniel3941]

Nick is a cosmic being, just strolling through the cosmos working his guitar like that.

[@djona883]

Nick McCabe comes from another dimension! Incredible guitar playing and music mind.

[@deanappleby9534]

The bass player never gets enough praise for me listen to early verve and you will see what I mean

[@liamgeorge4182]

For sure Simon is incredible

[@frazerburke4670]

Simon Jones wrote the bass lines for "Slide Away" when he was just 17... unreal

[@juanherrera7125]

The verve, I miss you!!!

[@paolo-n2000]

Nick, Pete and Simon are the tightest, funkiest, most psychedelic trio EVER!!! Add Ashcroft vocals... FORGET ABOUT IT!!! LEGENDS!!!!

[@Soulcarvers]

Woah..... first time hearing this, The Verve never fails to disappoint me.

[@sebazicchips797]

What a guitar player !!!

[@jasonisamu9989]

Glad to find so many hardcore Verve fans, definitely my favorite band of the last 25 years or so. This is a great song, I've discovered quite a few lately. Back on my Feet Again might be my favorite. And no haters or trolls being negative contrarians here, either. Guess they just pass by this great music. This Is Music.

[@H-Real_8]

The Verve are underrated legends

[@stevob2729]

What a great track , this would have been huge if they released it .

[@Tom-zs1ev]

Even after so many years I can say: Bravo The Verve!!

[@Harj180980]

I wish I could purchase these unreleased tracks. I need these in my life!

[@everymandan4176]

The outro is perfect, among the very best things they ever did..

[@n7torp904]

Can't thank you enough for uploading these mate. Just when I thought I heard everything by these guys, I stumble upon these gems.

[@mikekunes]

Gotta say that since hearing this a couple months ago, it's become one of my favorite songs, ever, not just by The Verve but by any band...it's amazing. I can't understand why Richard would want this one locked away for so long.

[@jasonisamu9989]

Mike Kunes ... No Doubt!

[@jgrif9256]

How could songs like this, always are maybes, jalfrezi, oh sister etc not find their way on to an album.their priceless 😐

[@paolo-n2000]

It's crazy!!! The Verve could've put all those songs on a new album.... They were such a great band!!!

[@starstart23]

oh sister was a b-side on one of the singles from UH

[@starstart23]

Sorry, Im thinking of So Sister

[@briancassidy4205]

Couple of guys at their peak... and ahead of their time! B-)

Sounds from the fourth sessions .but amazing as usual

[@zachjarrett8730]

Better than anything on the record.

[@badgasaurus4211]

Classic verve. No ballad factory here

[@lucasm3879]

Nick McCabe said recently that All Ways are Maybe's is one of the best things Verve ever did - I actually prefer this, it's fucking brilliant

[@ZanzibarBreeze]

If we ever get a fully mastered high res version of Blue Pacific Ocean I reckon I'd rate that as the best thing they've done. All Night Long is up there too. Verve has such an excellent discography. I just hope we can get the final unreleased stuff from Forth someday

[@paolo-n2000]

greate song all in the mind maybe but greate song greate the verve

[@olika8]

wow, it sounds so different from everything else they'd recorded before - in a good way ofc

[@anthonyharrison45]

olika8 check a bside called 'chic dub' from the love is noise single. That has a vibe like this, just way more chilled. Also a bside from rather be called 'major force'. Sounds a bit like noise epic off forth this too you think? Love it

[@csyddyj40]

Well,I was hoping these tracks sounds like 'this could be my moment' but this is good too. I expect the ones that are missing look alike.

[@olika8]

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the songs you mentioned, however they didn't pop into my head while listening to this one. If there had been more tracks like this on UH, I'd would have valued the album more I think. Can't say I'm super impressed with the rest of the leaked songs so far, maybe they are growers. I had my hopes up after reading Nick's enthusiastic comments about the outtakes, but I feel a bit disappointed with what I've heard

[@olika8]

Sorry, I hate This Could Be My Moment - it's so bland. Monte Carlo is the shit and I'd be happy with more tracks in a similar vein. According to Nick it was produced by John Leckie - I think that's why it sounds so interesting

[@anthonyharrison45]

olika8 I really love sweet and sour, adore it! All ways are maybes was a little bit of a let down purely because of the anticipation of hearing it after so long. But the fact we have a good few unheard verve songs blows my mind.

[@Cannon74com]

Yes!

[@eatsleepdrums]

The vocal melody is very similar to the verses in 'A Northern Soul' and it somehow reminds me a touch on 'Mary' by Supergrass as well.

[@HuxleyWasRight]

also the bass line that would later appear on Columbo from Forth :- )

What kind of record executive could hear this a go "B Side" The band and producer/s must have put this on the playback and been like "Hell Yeh". Sometimes I just don't understand the world or how that stuff happens!!!

Reminds me of "All in the Mind" a lot actually. This is sick, but of course this is 97 onwards so it's on the fucking b-sides.

[@XoXo475]

Why wasn't this on the album!!! ?

[@ceruleandusk]

This is amazing. Why can't I find it in "Urban Hymns (Super Deluxe / Remastered 2016)" ? They never added it?

[@DetectiveGumshoe2025]

It was agreed by 3 members of the band and the label that this track along with 10 other tracks uploaded to this channel were going to be included on the UH Deluxe release and the track “All Ways Are Maybes” was going to be released as a promotional single for the reissue, however one member of the band put their foot down and refused to allow them to be included, so the tracks were left off unfortunately

[@ceruleandusk]

@@DetectiveGumshoe2025 wow that's unfortunate since they are all great. Luckily we have this playlist.

[@DetectiveGumshoe2025]

@@ceruleandusk If you haven't already listen to their track Blue Pacific Ocean. Recorded during Forth but inexplicably didn't make the album and ended up unreleased. Like a lot of these UH tracks it's criminal it's never been released.

[@ceruleandusk]

@@DetectiveGumshoe2025 It's also very nice. My favorites in order are: Echo Bass, Three steps, brake lights and 6oclock.

[@kathyrivera7024]

This song is so sad the end part always makes me cry and I thought as I had heard it before years ago that it was from that band , or that guy that sang the low spark of high heeled boys ,I don't know just an odd thought .🙂

[@1lamja146]

Is that version of the song here. Some guys have said the they sing the tracks at concerts, too, so ask if they can upload it. I don’t think it refers to what most people think it does. The band used to use drugs, so I suppose they think it is better than love. I hope the tears are cathartic rather than for grief. Sometimes bottling up emotions can be worse, but oftentimes, you don’t want to be reminded of trauma or awful times.
