Always loved this song but the day I was given the all clear from cancer at Manchester Royal I walked into Cafe Nero and this was playing, extra special.
Damn that is awesome Craig.
brilliant
Amazing xxx
Super 👏👏👏
That's so awesome!
Ever since 1997, one of the best songs of that year and that entire decade.
67 year old discovering Verve for the first time, must have missed their hey day when I was overseas working in Papua New Guinea. Very well put together song. I will explore more.
you is a cool dude enjoying life
This song is from Urban Hymns (1997). One of best albuns from that year and nexts.
never too late, mate
I was 32 when this brilliant masterpiece was released. One month after a horrible drug overdose. This song was key instrumental in my recovery, and continues to be to this day. 24 years drug free, and definitely a Lucky Man !
well thats a great comment! cheered me up. good man. god bless you sir
Well done Seeker. ❤️ Lovely light in a cold dark world. Spread the happiness. 👏🙏
Fair play to you brother, it's hard overcoming addiction 👏
LOVE YOU BROTHER!!!WE ARE ALL THE SAME!!!ALL HEART/LOVE!
Was in my 20s
We buried my beautiful best friend Pauline to this song, she loved it. We walked behind her coffin and all I could remember was her singing was this song…, Pauline is never forgotten ❤⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sinto muito
Sorry for your loss babs❤
🙏
Lo siento mucho mi amigo
What happened to her?
Purely one of the best songs of the 90,s
Right as music took a plunge into the portal to hell fire.
The whole record is a masterpiece, what a production from 90's.
Right? I don't think that there is a song I don't like.
@@mrnatedogg3434 25 years later . still one of the best of its time for sure .....
The Verve, I had to keep buying their albums as I kept wearing them out.
In the Words of Tony Blackburn..... Sensational...
Ages better than wine
This song is as close to therapy as it gets
Concordo
So True Tim
If you are listening to this song in 2024, you have got this and just remember you are Strong and a Legend❗💯😉
I'm in deed👌
Timeless song
No. We are lucky mans
Still listening

Take me back to the nineties, please! The world was a different and much better place.
Amen
80s were my favorite, but I'll take the 90s as well.
It was! But the 80's were even better

I'm 33 years old. My uncle introduced me to the verve when I was a little man. He passed away last year and everytime I hear the verve I get a lump in my throat. RIP uncle Brian ❤❤❤
I’m sorry for your loss
My partner of 25 years, father of my 2 beautiful children passed away peacefully last night and he always said this was the song he wanted played at funeral because he said he was a very lucky man
Rip ❤️
@@akasiatm thank you x
Hope your OK time is a great healer il honestly say A prayer for you god bless
RIP🙏🏻
His way of telling you he loved yous and he felt like a lucky man 👍
This is so 1997. Full of great expectations, confidence and a fire and passion for life unmatched.
Back when society was confident.
I see you man
More than a bittersweet symphony, I just love this song. Timeless.
Sonnet is the greatest❤

Great song another one I personally liked blue
Played this song at my brother's funeral service. Hits like a hammer every time I hear it. Love you bro.
I hope you’re doing ok. It’s a great song. You’ve got this :)
My friend played this song at my partners funeral. It was only a few weeks ago so still very raw. He always said that he wanted this song played at his funeral because he never took anything for granted & really felt like a lucky man. He knew what was important in life
Make you bro proud keep him close to your thoughts and he will always be there bud carry on sir
Ohh no what else
That's powerful
0% swearing
0% nudety
0% fashionable (flashy clothes)
100% great music
Just a man and his guitar
Many thanks Richard Ashcroft👍
He does sing that he's stood here naked, though.
Awesome dude
@@ajmurtagh27 He is actually naked, that's just how he looks without clothes on.
Richard?like danny de vito eh??😀
And pre 9/11 zeitgeist. Sorry to the kids that came after. This is what it was like. So sorry.
Earphones. My Office. Curtains open. Clear night. 2am. This song
Hands down one of the best bands from the 90’s or any other era. Legendary!
I now. But isn't is strange. This is why I don't now why we are in conrtol ot our our own Girls- The wankers called "Coldplay" becaume mega famous and even the stupid that mike that made candles smelling of her own vagina. Let me tell you love, we love love you foerever, but you effing stink down there. We ;Men don't. You see we Boys dont have an an opening that secretes stinsky blood and white fluids all day long. That never happens to us boys. But we still Love you.

My father died yesterday and as I driving thinking about it all this song came to my mind. I decided to play it and cried tears because I am lucky. I know he would want me to carry on being the best man I can be. I guess it was a gift from him a last gift
I'm sorry for your loss.
Im so sorry💙
wow, my father died yesterday (yes really) a long way away in China...he lived his life to the full to the end and said how lucky he was. I'm crying now, but good tears for him and this great song hits the mark so, so well.
So sorry man 😞🙏
I felt similar when my Dad passed , for me, I was sad for about 5 seconds then i was just thankful and Greatful .that i had such a Great father
This is the kind of music that is so good that is literally medicine.
Absolutely... great medicine.

So true 👍
The drugs work in this case
It's hard to explain to young people what the UK music scene in the 90s was like. Endless young talented bands with great musicians pumping out classics back to back.
Total agree
So much great music and movies
No woke shit and all the other shit in this once great country
Life was so much better
@@AndrewBower-zf7bj But the music was just kind-of background them, as MrPicklerwoof suggests.
NOW we really need things like the above, with the world being even worse than it ever was.
The struggle is now, and (having been Born Again in Jesus), I am actually exhilarated by it.
I see things more clearly, and there is everything to play for still.
Which is why I'm writing to you, my friend...
This was played at the wake for a friend and classmate of ours, who was left us too early in 1999. We had just completed our first semester of college.
I can’t believe it’s been 25 years. We are all lucky in some way - make the most of your time here!
A lot of songs didn’t need to be made, this one did. Simply amazing.
First "Bitter Sweet Symphony" and then this, a master piece. Both are on the same album.
@@hanspeterraatz4928......... Truly Truly !!!!! Bro
Songs like this gave back then and maybe provide inspiration that so much good music with lyrics produced mainly in the 1980's won't go wasted.
This IS a masterpiece of the 90's. To all of those folks that said this music "wouldn't last".
Just Iconic.. still brings the chills to me. Love this tune.
have you seen the unedited one?
@@hanspeterraatz4928
Thanks."The Verve" for this beautiful song.
I agree very beautiful
I always smile when i hear this song
drugs don't work is better
As much notoriety Bittersweet Symphony received (and deserved) at the time, this song is their magnum opus in my opinion. Just classic from the first note until the last. One of my favorite 90s songs. Timeless. 🙌
Why notoriety? I agree that this is song is their best, but Bittersweet Symphony is a classic. If you're referring to the copyright drama, The Verve got the raw end of the deal in all of that nonsense. They did nothing wrong. They simply cleared the 'Master Rights' to the song but forgot to clear the 'Publishing Rights.' Just poor lawyering. That's all it was. A simple legal oversight. They had previously received permission from the Stones. So the Verve should have received all the royalties from the outset. The story has a happy ending, though (albeit a belated one). Several years ago, Mick and Keith started sending all the royalties to Ashcroft and stopped claiming any rights to the sample.
@@danielwilliams173bro he just meant it was more popular. Nothing about legal copyrights 😂
@@Bravetrain13 Maybe, but he said "notoriety." Notoriety and popularity have totally different connotations (notoriety, of course, is characterized by recognition that is specifically unfavorable). Why would bittersweet symphony be thought of as notorious? It must be because of the legal battle, no? What other reason is there?
Damn we were lucky in the 90s
We were blessed, so cancel your first word!
But the music is still there, is it not?
Offering just the same blessing - most likely EACH AND EVERY TIME we listen.
Looks a little miraculous, does it not?
Of course Richard Ashcroft is not the source of that blessing, just one of many conduits for it.
I am another.
See...
@@sidpheasant7585👌
I wish I could remember the 90,s it looked like fun
"How many times do I have to learn all the love I have is in my mind?" What a profound lyric, that compels us to dig a little deeper and find love for ourselves and not expect it from others!! I've struggled with this for so long until I realized that the love you have for yourself defines every relationship in your life. All the love you need is within you!
I think that line isn't about love for yourself. (I think) It's about the reality that all thought, feelings, emotions, etc all come from WITHIN. Therefore if you are not feeling love, or happiness you need only reach internally to grab it and there is no reason to look externally for it. It doesn't exist out there.
nowhere near as deep as some Sir Mix a lots lyrics! "My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun", now thats genius level!
That is such a lovely thing to say, all the luck and love to you 🙏
❤
English teachers must love you
Probably one of the best songs ever written
Really? Middle of the road tosh to appeal to the masses. The Verve in their early days were amazing!
kikikik
Not really come on its basically a chorus and thats it...its a catchy song though
Half the song is rambling
Yes
I’ve always liked this song. And I really am A LUCKY MAN. I fell down a flight of stairs in February 2023. And I was lying there unconscious all through the night for 12 hours. And an old lady taking her rubbish out in the morning found me and rang an Ambulance. I was in a COMA for 2 month’s. All In All I spent 9 Months in 3 Different hospitals. I’ve been out of Hospital now. For just over a month. From Charring Cross. Neurol Rehabilitation Unit. Learning how to walk again. I couldn’t even Swallow it was that Bad. A Month out now and I’m getting there. SORRY I HAD A BLEED ON THE BRAIN. IM GETTING THERE. AND I WILL GET THERE. THANKS. GEORGIE PRICE. WEST LONDON. XXX.
February here and would have taken more luck. -40 Celsius. That's -40 fahrenheit too. Definitely would have died outside in just hours
Thanks bro x
Get well😊
Thank you so much it means a lot to me 💯
Sending you the warmest get well soon wishes Georgie 🙏

The lead guitar under all this is epic beyond all proportions.
Nick McCabe is the most underrated shoegaze guitarist
The sound of the 90's was so pure - from rock, hip-hop, metal, r&b, country, man good times.
Life can suck sometimes, I get depressed and wish I was more successful. But one listen of this and I'm good again.
viva anti enjoy.
Anytime my chicogo friend.
Present day girl who likes "The Verve", the world is very beautiful :)
I agree well said

LYRICS:
Happiness, more or less
It's just a change in me, something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness, coming and going
I watch you look at me, and watch my fever grow
And I know just where I am
But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?
But I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands
Happiness, something in my own place
I'm stood here naked, I smile and I feel no disgrace
With who I am
Happiness, coming and going
I watch you look at me, watch my fever grow
And I know just who I am
And how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?
I hope you understand
I hope you understand
Oh yeah
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
Got a love that'll never die, no, no (you know, you know)
Happiness more or less
It's just a change in me, something in my liberty
Happiness, coming and going
I watch you look at me, watch my fever grow
And I know
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my, my, my, my
We got a love that never dies
I got a love that'll never die
No, no
And I love you, man
Yeah
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty (don't think, don't, don't think I'm lying)
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty (don't think, don't think I'm lying, I'm trying)
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
It's just a change in me, something in my liberty
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said oh, my, my, my, my, my
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like The Verve. Different styles but similar influences it sounds like. Two of my favourite artists, both kind of remind me of The Beatles
Simply said yet so epic. Thank u
Something in my levity... Although liberty seems more appropriate.. (:
I didn't know for the longest time that he says "And I love you, man" at 3:35... I thought it was "I'm a lucky man." It seems at varying intervals he is talking to a lover ("I watch you look at me, watch my fever grow"), himself (But how many corners do I have to turn?), and then - at the end, in this line - perhaps a friend, too. Special songwriting.
British people sure knows how to make music.
100+ Respect.
Used to listen to Lucky Man from Emerson Lake and Palmer in the early seventies. Diff song - same sentiment.
despicable scum of society your right however alot of their influence came from the U.S like smoky Robinson and others from that era but they are good especially this song!!!!!!!!!!
@@nickthomas4184 long live the queen jk I heard stories about the gueen. Britain is cool Americas allright lol
I'm the 100th like!! + 200% respect
@@nickthomas4184 Actually Nick, both the US and the UK use the influence of black music... the Beatles and Rolling Stones both used R&B in order to invent their music... Is that a "bad" thing ? What one can sculpt from a rock with a chisel is down to the ability of the artist... and THAT is where differences are made.
One of my favourite lines ever in any song "I'm stood here naked, smile and feel no disgrace with who I am".
is he a flasher?
He stands there hiding his willy.. Pretending he has a vagina... Ooh I'm a lady 😂
The internet has all but killed off the old school flasher.

It might be 2024 by year, but it will always be the 90s in my heart.
The songs on Urban Hymns were so beautifully crafted. The whole album gets richer the more you listen to it.

Iim finally beginning to figure out the meaning of life. Everything happens for a reason and everything has to be put in it's order
lBefore you can put one foot in front of the other.
. You have to let go of the pain and lay it at JESUS feet. You have to forgive the people who have hurt you. And you have to forgive yourself. You want to become better than you are you have to make a stand in what's right and you have to hold JESUS hand and never let go. I look back now and see things that have had to happen in order tfor me to get where I am in my spirit and it took careing and loveing people to show you thing you did not no I feel like I'm whole Gain

Who is listening to this in 2024 😊
Don’t worry, your not the only person listening to this masterpiece in 2024👍
I think this song is about the fact that being happy is in your control. I think that I have to love myself, even if nobody else will. I can be happy in spite of social rejection. I love this song. I want it played at funeral, even though no one will probably come to my funeral.
+Omar Garad I will be there even though i wont probably be there. Just reachin out a warm hand.
Ron M Thank you for your kindness. The world is a cruel place filled with human beings who don`t understand or care about other people`s afflictions. Sometimes, even the sympathetic ones run out of patience and turn on you. However, I`ll take everything with a grain of salt. One step at a time.
one of my favorites
+Omar Garad Crazy man, I just wrote on Facebook that if I go before my friends, make sure this is played and to this day is my favorite song. Well articulated as well, as what you think the lyrics mean. I think spot on. Nice.
+Omar Garad heyy i will be there even by mind too , just take each day at a time , i know that life is tough , cruel & unfair .. it is really to all of us .. u r not alone in that but we have no choice u know , keep going .. be strong think of the theory (the butterfly effect) & think every problem there's always a way out , you just need to slow down & think it over , i always say (the right way is usually longer but safer & shortcuts usualy aren't safe) now instead of a funeral song , think of a song to play on ur birthday or a happy one to keep up ur high spirit High .. if u know what i mean .. salam :)

Before communism took over the Western psyche
No possibility of a positive end, as there has already been too much death, hate and suffering.
Food and drink for the darkness that envelops us.
Politics is a busted flush, the "discipline" or "science" of foreign relations just a pile of fakery and lies.
Jesus is what we need, and before Him the beloved Holy Spirit, ever-active, ever-meaningful, ever-inspiring of art (like the above).
The good and noble and worthy and decent in this world are delivered or presided over by the Spirit, while the rest is just darkness (1 John 5:19)
I’m a big verve fan,heard this track 26 years ago and it lifted the hairs on the back of my neck and still has the same effect 26 years on. Amazing tune love it 😍
Yeah the 90's were great, if only we could go back to those days and know how great they really were....
Well, there were 2 or 3 parts. The early 90s as overhang from 1985 onwards with REM , Stone Roses, James, Charlatans. British indie really made a mark, if mainly at home. Then 1994 when, apart from Oasis, the southerners struck back but in a retro way - Suede, Blur. Then, 1995, and Pulp and Radiohead start to burst the Britpop party before its supposed golden year ( which was actually a relatively dry 90s year for classic albums), 1996.Then once The Verve released Urban Hymns, Radiohead released OK Computer, and Oasis released the underrated Be Here Now, all in 1997, there'd never be that crescendo again (and it was a beautifully magical, epic, time, before many outside of university had the internet too). Lesser talents such as Travis and Coldplay were having wild success by rather cynically copying Radiohead's chin stroking, but instead convincing the average uncool guy 'You're special because you don't act like anything is more special than your beige existence'.
Was 16 when this was released in 97. Still a magic melody packed full of memories. At 41 now I can't explain what I feel other than I enjoy hearing the beautiful song again.
This is the most uplifting song ever written. I guess many people can reflect at one point in their life, and see, how many times they were just lucky. At 17, I could have been crushed by a ten ton load, I pulled with my tractor, when the brakes malfunctioned on a steep hill. Lucky for me a farmer sowing his field nearby saw, what happened, jumped without regard to his own life, down from his tractor, sprinted 50 yards toward my ever faster going tractor trailer, jumped onto the trailer and pulled the hand brake. Another time I was run over on my bike from a pickup truck, flew 6 yards through the air and landed with my head and upper body on a patch of grass, my head one foot away from a steel fence with concrete foundation, to the left one foot away a concrete electric post and to my right a tree. My hip smashed on the curb stone, but was cushioned by a thick H-D wallet. I only broke two rips and could drive myself to the hospital. But maybe it all has a purpose, because I could save 5 lives after my first encounter with death.

As we age, feelings and emotions that were once so brilliant fade away and leave us with nothing more than a memory of what we remember feeling. It's cruel, but a beautiful reminder of what once was, and possibly could be again if in the right situations. The hard part is finding those moments and living in them.
Me too, and it's simply wonderful!!!
Exactly same feeling from your fellow person who is same age as you.
14 years later and I’m here …I hope you all are too …OG’s
The Verve had some great soundtracks but this was one of their finest in my opinion! It's a timeless classic!
Sometimes I feel depressed and sad. But then I listen to this song and I realize my life is not that bad, and I think I'm a lucky man
Actually, I feel the same way.
You are wonderfullxxxx
And that's what makes this song so special.
Same
Same here. I realize is in my hands to define my happiness.
Lost 3 members of my family to Covid-19 2020-2021... which lead to a crippling drug addiction... sober now everyday is a struggle but no matter what everyday I’m alive is a day I love... this song gives me strength... love you all!!
Hope you're okay jason!
Love you ❤
what were the co-morbidities ?
Stay strong Jason please sending prayers from covina ca 🙏 ❤

I used to play Urban hymns album cd on my PlayStation with the church reverb effect switched on. It's heartbreaking that the 90s are almost a faded memory. I also liked watching TFI on channel 4.
What a decade to be alive.
I will be 70 years old next week, I still love this. Great band.
"Bitter sweet symphony" is finally yours, Richard. Lucky man :)
Song is brilliantly written and song....thank you.
I'd be honored if some Verve & Ashcroft fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY and HIGH & DRY by Radiohead on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace out.
It was always his! 😉
@@Thesource81 you're right!!
Por fin
God I miss this type of music so much. That build is powerful.
I still have the Urban Hymns audio cassette that i bought in 97
To everyone out there listening to this 90s music just hits you in the soul and realise how special that era was sorry 2024 and after will never conpare to that era im sorry ❤️😢
"The first time I ever heard this was in a truck stop bathroom somewhere in central Illinois. I'll never forget that trip and this song totally puts me back there."
Okay, UPDATE:
Since a few people wanted to know about my above comment from four months ago, this road trip was taken in October of 2014 with one of my good friends who was getting over the loss of another friend. For personal reasons, I am not going to give out his name. But, he called me out of the blue the day before and asked if we could just drive somewhere. His best friend from high school had committed suicide a few months before and he was really struggling with life and the loss.
He picked me up on a Friday and we drove all night, ending up somewhere near Mazon, Illinois. We stopped at a Pilot truck station along the way for a break around 2AM and while washing my hands, I heard this over the PA and was mesmerized. Somehow, this song fit the situation perfectly.
Both of us were struggling with the trials of life and yet, it made us realize we were both lucky men - still alive, fighting, even though things were tough. It made me appreciate the fact I had good friends and that I could be there for another person struggling with a loss. It's funny how music can do that.
My friend and I both have a passion for railroads and ended up stargazing, attempting to solve the problems of the world, and watching freight trains roll through the night amongst open corn fields. A year later and every time I hear this, I go right back to that moment and think of where I was going and what life was like at that time.
+Delay In Block Productions ...ty for sharing this story. I hope friend is doing good.
+Delay In Block Productions Cool story Bro' .
+Delay In Block Productions Such a great story, quite inspirational too!
Good writing, who says there is no good writing on UA-cam, suck it, Melville and Dickens !!!
That comment put me right there lookin at stars as freight trains roll by
The rest of the band look absolutely thrilled to be there.
Don’t worry you’re not the only one who is listening to this masterpiece in 2021
❤️
Good for you mN help were ye can
Nope...makes me homesick for my youth.
My Dad loved this song & I just lost him unexpectedly 2 months ago. God, it hurts.💔
@@mauiwonderland you will be ok sweetheart xx
This song means so much to me it was played at my partner's funeral 15 years ago and I'm still listening to it in 2023.
RIP to your partner friend...this is going to be played at my funeral no doubt. Just brilliant.
This is gonna be my first wedding dance with my future wife. Can't wait till July ❤
This is my and my wife 1st dance song ❤
When this song came out I was 20 - I'm 43 now, I wish I could travel back in time and warn my younger self that time passes soooo fast ! it's incredible....
You still have a long life ahead man. 43 is young these days! I’m 26 and I feel like the past 8 years went by in a flash. Especially the last 4
I know that feeling, the 90’s what an amazing decade. I wish I could go back and tell myself to savour every last second as your life is gonna turn to shit when you hit 40.
Broken Toy how old are you dude?
I know what you mean man. I'm 39 and I clearly remember this track coming out along with OK Computer and Mezzanine etc like it was yesterday
Hugo Costa what’s that mean
It's just more proof that good music is truely ageless.
Its just the changing of something in my liberties
@@onedayatatime1494 "I'm black and for some reason I enjoy the verve"
You certainly a’int wrong…every now and then, when life doesn’t make sense. I go this song…thank you Richard for this chilled out humility song of happiness
@@onedayatatime1494 People are strange
@@onedayatatime1494 I'm white and for some reason I like Michael Jackson because of Man in the Mirror. .. people look at me like I'm crazy when I randomly play that song..
That is truly British!
Мне 55, какую музыкальную красоту мы слушали и слушаем, молодёжь жалко, что они слушают дьявольскую блевотину вроде рэпа.
