The Verve - Weeping Willow (VIDEO)

FAN-MADE VIDEO - Nicolás Pérez Gatti
"Weeping Willow" - song by THE VERVE (Virgin Records) ----
When morning breaks
We hide our eyes and our love's aching
Nothing's strange
It was in our hands from 6 to 10
It slipped right out again
There'll be no better time
There'll be no better way
There'll be no better day to save me
Save me
Yeah, save me
I hope you see like I see
I hope you see what I see
I hope you feel like I feel
And the world don't stop
There is no time for cracking up
Believe me friend
Cause when freedom comes
I'll be long gone
You know it has to end
There'll be no better time
There'll be no better way
There'll be no better day to save me
Save me
Yeah, save me
Yeah, save me
I hope you see what I see
I hope you feel like I feel
Someone to stand beside me
Beside me
Beside me
Beside me
Beside me
Weeping willow
The pills under my pillow
Weeping willow
Pills under my pillow
Weeping willow
The Gun under your pillow
Weeping willow
Beside me
Beside me
Beside me
Beside me

I honestly feel so sorry for anyone who is too young to have experienced the 90's. There will never be a time as artistically rich and intense, with true and important artists, and music like this. I thank God that my teen years were squarely within the 90's.

[@zemthunder]

I agree...even missing 80's like queen etc is such a shame as you will never find ACTUALLY GOOD SINGERS like from in the 80's-90s ever again it's sad really

Just an incredible song, with incredible lyrics

[@johnnypasho]

For me this is, without any exaggeration, the best british song of all times ! I love The Smiths, The Curem, Beatles, The Jam, Happy Mondays, Blur, Oasis and tons more. But Richard Ashcroft just blows me away every time.

[@andywatson461]

Most defo agree with u there. Love it

[@johnnypasho]

Myriam H Most definitely they are :) I love Morrison and Marr. But still got that soft spot for Richard...always will :)

[@johnnypasho]

Myriam H To be honest, I love his ego :) He was not shy to loop his own voice on Love is Noise. He repeatedly used his songs to tell us what was he through. Shame I never saw him live. I might fulfill that dream hopefully :) I think I heard more than enough of Bittersweet Symphony, which is a shame, because it's a damn good song.

[@maydavies888]

jan pasek Ride is awesome, too. Check out their songs Vapor Trail, Leave Them All Behind, and OX4

[@maydavies888]

jan pasek I hadn't heard them in decades, so few weeks ago, hearing Lucky Man really made my heart smile. Then a friend and I were talking about weeping willow trees and this one came up. Then it happened again, so I found and played the song. Now, all day until now I'e been tortured with Weeping Willow as the eternally ethereal, comforting, and hypnotic ear worm.

[@musicsaves97]

The genius of this song/record is the sequence of this song followed by 'Lucky Man' on the LP. The fact that Richard and the band can so poignantly express both extremes in life is proof of their collective genius. The Verve will always be criminally underrated, especially here in the US. It's a shame that they had to break up three times because musical chemistry is a blessing from the universe.

[@fju2112]

+musicsaves97 it really is and i wish they'd all realize this. i heard ashcroft's new track. it's pretty good but tell me that song wouldn't be better with his three bandmates backing him? Urban Hymns would have been a disaster compared to what it turned out to be, if it had gone on as planned (an Ashcroft solo album). Forth was a decent return to form...too bad it's unlikely we'll see a Fifth.

[@RobertHurleyJr]

Great part of the album the trifecta of Space and Time, Weeping Willow, and Lucky Man

[@guidens]

SPOT ON! 7-8-9, best trifecta in an album EVER.
