Estranged Reality Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 http://www.myspace.com/thevervetvI like it. Sounds a bit Coldplayish, though. That may be due to the fact that Coldplay ripped them off to begin with, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Sweet, I've been waiting to hear a studio version of this song. Urban Hymns is one of my favorite albums from the 90's. This song is no "If The World" but I still like it. I'm glad these guys are back together. Richard Ashcroft's solo career was pretty so so, however, his song "New York" was pretty killer.

Dead Flower Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Shit, I didn't even know they were back together.Urban Hymns is so fucking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opax Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Thanks for that link Estranged Reality, good to see people sharing the quality music.Yeah i quite dig that track, very slick. Not so sure about that background (Ah-ah Ah-ah) vocals! Edited June 24, 2008 by Opax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Hmm, it's alright. Not sure I dig that weird effect going on...I love Urban Hymns and their debut. The best part of that band, for me, is Nick McCabe and all his awesome guitar work. Edited June 24, 2008 by Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 In my dream last night this song was playing and it sounded awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sounds more like early 80's tippy-toe new wave than Coldplay to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I bought UH a while ago but it never did anything for me. I do like Sonnet but even then I have no strong desire to play it over and over. Bittersweet Symphony was okay too (Jagger/Richards music is the best part of it though). Might give that album another spin one day soon.Can't say I like the new song.

KBear Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Assumed they wrote the music...are the album credits lying or something? Edited June 27, 2008 by KBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The lyrics, the riff, the drumming (best part, imo) was all original. The orchestra sample by Oldham caused all the drama.From what I've read (maybe there's more to the story?) Ashcroft has every right to be extremely pissed off about what happened.

Randy Lahey Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I believe the sample they used is an orchestral version of "The Last Time". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of interested in hearing the original track. I've been listening to The Verve for years and never really understood the whole Bittersweet Symphony thing, but if it's from a different version of the Stones' song, that would explain a lot.

Zint Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 It's more completely different versions,rather than alternative Stones'versions I guess (technically).What you are looking for you will find here.There's also some Oldham Orchestra versions on Metamorphosis,this is where Jagger can been found singing...Out Of Time for example.Which is excellent,very Spector-ish.

SolidSnake Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) WoW I really cant wait for this. I cant believe they've actually reformed, Nick Mccabe is one of the best and most mesmerizing guitarists I've ever heard, it'll be great to hear him on a record again. Really loving their new single, the loop reminds me a lot of "sympathy for the devil" by the stones, quality stuff. The Verve Go Forth With New AlbumJune 26, 2008The VerveEarlier this week, The Verve released "Love Is Noise," the British band's first new single in over a decade. Now more information has been revealed about Forth, the first Verve studio album since 1997.
