The Verve - Weeping Willow (VIDEO)

[@MichelleAntonia]

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

[@jimmythefish]

15-25 for me. Can't argue with that.

[@Titusmuddler]

Couldn't agree more seems there are artists not willing to push boundaries its all very samey and boring

[@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.

[@adamzahariuk9496]

The reason this band wasn't popular because most people are sheep and recognize or hear or understand pure genius what a underrated band and talent

[@RossRussell1994]

the best song on urban hymns in my opinion

[@tonysproule3408]

Driving up north in the snow with this cranked up, no feeling can describe it!!! The Verve were the greatest band to never recieve the credit they deserved!!! I consider myself to be one of their biggest fans out there, their music changed my life for the better!

[@pantone108]

Tony Sproule I am as yet undecided on which is my favourite band of all time? The Stone Roses or The Verve?

[@tonysproule3408]

Ashwin Haldipur The Verve have been there with me for 30 years, they changed the way I see life and their music expresses feelings and emotions that I cannot express. with words.Ashcroft and Mccabe forever!

[@KaironBrito]

Me too friend. Good to know there are others who feel the same.

[@veronica3986]

For me theres the verve & stone roses...both brilliant in their own way....i couldnt say whiich is best cos theyre both brilliant in their own way..imo anyway. But this track i love....still in my top 10 all these yrs later. ....

[@mysticladytarot7777]

When those first notes come in I get goosebumps 😍

[@extraterrestrial7424]

Not only are they very talented and underappreciated, but they are all also quite handsome.

[@scotttheboss1]

the best British band out of the 90s , fuck everyone else , passion, power, beauty and great front man.....I wish they kept going

[@richardl-n8619]

agreed, BUT i got to say OASIS too, the Verve had the recognition but nowhere near as much as they should of had.

[@WildMorgan]

Got to say Radiohead trumps both of them. But each to their own :-)

[@scotttheboss1]

WildMorgan i love Radiohead too mate, amazing just for pure emotion the verve where beautiful. No body does what Radiohead does I'll give u that

[@jasoncotterill954]

[@bertkuperus6616]

Still the best band in the world! So honest and true! Real people with real feelings. They don't make 'm like that anymore! Thx verve 4 guiding wisdom !

[@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
