FORMED: 1989, Wigan, Lancashire, England
DISBANDED: April 28, 1999
The Verve, from Wigan in Lancashire, were formed in 1990.
The band's line-up was originally Richard Ashcroft (vocals,
guitar), Nick McCabe (guitar), Simon Jones (bass) and Peter
Salisbury (drums). In 1995, after the band broke up for the
first time, Simon Tong (guitar, keyboards) joined Richard
Ashcroft's group. In fact, orignally, Tong taught Jones and
Ashcroft how to play guitar.
Richard, Simon and Pete knew each other from Upholland High
School and recruited Nick from Winstanley College. Whatever
went through their minds and into their mouths in the
months that followed can only be guessed at, but whatever
it was, it worked. Nurtured by great music and Social
Security and with eyes fixed firml More...
Review about The Verve the ability to decide to be happy | Reviewer: someone or maybe no one
------ About the song Lucky Man performed by The Verve
I agree with the person who said that it is about "...one's ability to decide to be happy.."
I think it's a higher level...
I mean this one would have power (control over the feelings)...so nothing external would be able to change the mood or something like that...

------ About the song Bitter Sweet Symphony performed by The Verve
this song expresses frustration, melody, love and life. This bittersweet symphony is a visious cycle. You slave to money then you die. It writes the fabric of Western world life. Its beautiful. Thank god we have this art to listen to!
Its the only road I've ever been down...
Something in my liberty | Reviewer: Alvaro
------ About the song Lucky Man performed by The Verve
I think that the admission that happiness is something in our liberty makes pretty obvious what the song is all about: To be happy is to be free.
The lucky man is the one who realizes it, he has fire in his hand, fire, the first thing we humans creat to separate us from animals, it stands for the power to create amazing things, like this song, the lucky man is the one who knows this, is potential, he knows who he is, he is absolutley free.
Lucky Man trying to get even more lucky | Reviewer: Hans
------ About the song Lucky Man performed by The Verve
I guess, everyone makes up his own version of the song. This is what I believe this song is about for me:
getting older, accepting and starting to enjoy the person you are...becoming a lucky man. Now, you see that girl you have always been waiting for...she looks perfect for you...you enjoy the person SHE is and u only hope that she too enjoys the person YOU are...because being and enjoying yourself as a person and having someone who you love and of who you know she enjoys and loves the person you are...well, thats perfect for me!
...just hoping to get to her, taking small steps/corners hoping not to risk the bigger thing (her not loving you). Surely worth the risk, always looking for more certainty...taking another corner hoping a straight street leading to your dream shows up
Deeper meaning | Reviewer: dany
------ About the song Lucky Man performed by The Verve
This is song is deeper than people think. It's mainly a release of the ego, and the ability to live the present moment. a glimpse in the middle of corners and twists and turns of life, which makes you recognize your own self! it's during this moments that we recognize, over and over again,that all the love we have is in our mind and what liberty truly means.
Peace and long live the great musicians of the 90's!

------ About the song Bitter Sweet Symphony performed by The Verve
my mum loves this song so much that she wants to hear it all over again and again.Because of her influence I started listening.I like the song really but at the end its kinda boring.Maybe a new little faster version and with a unboring end would be better to me.Everything else is perfect about the verve
Nice Song | Reviewer: Daniel
------ About the song Sonnet performed by The Verve
I have to say: is s great song in all the senses you can imagine. Is the way I feel about my ex-girlfriend and is great not only for this. Talking about the box of memories is just fine, I have a box of memories in the very deep of my being sometimes I think is not good to have it because it hurt you not to have that person by your side even if you deserve the best in this world. Life many times is unfair and you feel alone...
Validation? | Reviewer: John
------ About the song Lucky Man performed by The Verve
I think it's about a guy finding himself through a relationship. The writer talks about knowing who and where he is, and feeling no disgrace for being "naked." I think the guy feels like he's an imperfect man, but doesn't feel bad about them when he's with his object of affection because her love validates him.
Good Tune | Reviewer: fredsanford
------ About the song Lucky Man performed by The Verve
But the lyrics are crap. Probably just a bunch of words that went along with the melody. Song writers now-days are not in tune, nor do they have much depth when it comes to meaningful lyrics. A decent melody, a few catchy phrases and your pretty much able to entertain todays jello-brained youth. This song has no meaning at all, those that are reading into it, trying to make this puddle into some sort of ocean are simpletons. But still, this fluff song isnt that bad, it is what it is.
This is the one song that touches my soul. | Reviewer: Bethany
------ About the song Bitter Sweet Symphony performed by The Verve
This song grabs you from it's haunting opening, and holds you throughout. I have listened to it so many times and it never gets old. I have manic depression and if ever there were a song to express how frustatingly complex my world is, it's this one. I love so many types of music, but this song belongs in a class by itself. This song is a rarity, that has never received the acclaim it deserves.
This song is something different. It's beautiful. You know how at times you can listen to songs and love them but once you change your mood you start to listen to them but they just don't fit and you have to turn them off?? Well this is the only song i've ever heard that never makes me feel that way.
When I think of this song, I think of teenagers waking up in the morning and getting dressed as usual. While getting ready, they are mouthing the words to the song. They then leave their house with their bags as if they were walking to school. As they are walking, they appear together on the same road. As the song nears the end, the road splits up and all the teenagers hug and say goodbye to each other as they each go on different paths.
The paths to me, is their futures as all people have different goals and destinations, but we are all walking on this road called 'life'.
The meaning is the song itself but I'll say.... Graciela | Reviewer: Anonymous

I agree with what Ryan, who wrote here says, with something to add
"To me this song is about coming to realization with yourself, and that be it with how many twists and turns in life may come your way, it is your choice how you deal with it. And the bottom line, if your a lucky man in your own mind, and your a loving person, then nothing else that surrounds u really matters. Its about being strong." I would say It's about being oneself if ones searches for happyness and love like he says he does and what makes him lucky ( happy and have love).

Happiness in self | Reviewer: Chris
------ About the song Lucky Man performed by The Verve
"Happiness more or less it's just a change in me, something in my liberty". To me this song is about one's ability to decide to be happy or varying degrees of happy and as long as happiness is what we feel most, we are all luckier as a result. The great thing about songs like this one is they can affect us all in our own way. I heard this song on the way to the hospital before my daughter was born and that moment in time is forever etched in my memory as one of the happiest moments of my life.
Peace and happiness to all of you...

quite simply the greatest single pop / rock / blues song ever written. its almost impossible to imagine a better example of a songwriters ability to express human emotion in a more meaningful way.
Asking for a comeback | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Sonnet performed by The Verve
This song is about resembling old memories of an ex partner, and find that there are still to much feelings.
Then offering a come back to that relationship and telling that is missing that person a lot and is having a really hard time. Finally hoping to have that loved one by its side soon.
