Richard has never lost his integrity despite his peers rising and falling from grace.RA has remained a true legend that I will celebrate for years.From Ireland
Wow... what an amazing ARTIST. Is there anyone else that sings exactly the same as you hear on the album? And while playing guitar..... by himself..... unreal.
pure brilliance. imagine walking into a boozer & hearing a chap with a guitar playing this good. I think this the standard musicians should be aiming for...
His guitar playing is terrible..I can't honestly listen to it..History was great because his voice was more prominent..but it sounds like a shoebox with six elastic bands
The opening lines of History are based on William Blake's poem 'London' - 'I wander through the chartered streets, near where the chartered Thames does flow'

Stunning performance as usual, strange how even Richard Ashcroft's most depressing songs make me feel so much better when I'm down myself. Cheers Rich, though we've never met you and the rest of the verve don't know how much you've helped through the years. I've given over bothering about how few views such a talent gets, it's their loss and our gain, like an exclusive club.
Luve You Richard! You have my heart forever- so much similiar thinks happen in our'e Life ...I can't describe my feeling- it goes Inside! Thank's to carch me up when I was really down!!!b
Whenever I listen to his music or live performances, I feel something in the middle of my body slowly start to burn like bornfire or whatever. Though there are a lot of lines that i can't understand. He's a soul musician i think.
i've grown up with ashcroft, his records luckily match how my life goes..from the first skinny t-shirted acid head in the marquee to the man with a break up then wife and kids still talking about Huxley and Pirsig
His music is inspiration, thru his downfall to rising up again, i can relate my life thru his music, made me a better person today. Hope he got his bio movie one day, it would be legendary.
I love you Richard, I am mesmerized by your presence and that voice only gets better with age. I can't take my eyes off you want you to "sing in my ear again" ♥️
A Man that sings words of wisdom love love Richard Ashcroft he is MY Saviour simple to me he helps put the world right all the love I have is in my mind sing it Richard ThankYOU 👌
Ive seen him all over the place, but nothing beats a small venue like this Richy and his guitar, when you can here a pin drop, new verve album out soon, that's worth waiting for, Where's So Sister (Live)
History has always spoken for me. And Ashcroft, who I've heard can be a bit of an arse in person, is without a doubt a legendary talent. The pureness of a man and a guitar performing to this level is as good as it gets!
I remember going to see him live in Manchester, my ex Fiancée and I were trying to get our relationship back on track. When he played these two, I stood with tears running down my face. She asked “what’s up Si”?, it was because at that moment I knew the relationship was over. Both ‘Bitter sweet symphonies’.

@@milsub59 ok edgy atheist
Probably one of the most talented writers ro come out of this era and the likes of Ian brown and the Gallagher know it x 😊
he was up against a lot of competition at that time.... but we jnew
History is in the top 5 songs of all time list. It’s a masterpiece
It’s my number 1 of all time
You're right, it is a masterpiece. Inspired by the late poet William Blake who he mentioned at the start. His poem is "London."
Agreed. It’s a perfect song
Agreed ❤
My favorit
Richard has never lost his integrity despite his peers rising and falling from grace.RA has remained a true legend that I will celebrate for years.From Ireland
when your feeling down just put this mans music on..fukin class!!!!!
Well said
I'm left speechless by his performance that speaks volumes.
History 1 of the best songs you will ever hear from Richard Ashcroft 👌
Can't be said to be true, he blew the top off the 90's and came back and screwed the rest of the garbage in todays market.
I am a bot from the future
@@kobylee911 I AM ASHCROFTING
Me n the Girlies, are seeing him in Manchester, in October. I'll be crying my eyes out again, at his lyrics n velvet voice 😭 😢
The most underrated band in the history of music!!
Tony Sproule So true.
Yes indeed, and the structure of the song
Fuckin hear r brother a song writing God
Pero una de las mejores, y la banda sonora de nuestras vidas.
Great band, but I don't remember them being underrated?
Sonnet is one of the best songs ever written I'm so glad we were blessed with the existence of Richard Ashcroft ❤
Just a man and his guitar, it doesn't get much pure then this. Love his work......
His words, sang acoustically. Just him and his guitar. No artist of this generation could understand
Gosh, how much of a soul can you put into a song? I'm crying right now, such an incredible performance.
Actual genius - he makes it look easy!!
Best voice in the longest time…
a gift was sent from the gods - that gift was Richard Ashcroft
Two of my favorite songs from The Verve.Simply Glorious
Wow... what an amazing ARTIST.
Is there anyone else that sings exactly the same as you hear on the album? And while playing guitar..... by himself..... unreal.
Loads of people tbh
for the best song - writer in the world: YOU MADE THE HISTORY
He doesn’t need anything at all, just him n his amazing voice - real talent, real genius…
Rolling Stones have nothing on you brother! Looks like you won, and I couldn't be more joyful for you and yours!
F*cking legend
he certainly is
the guy knows what he is doing magic
As soon as I heard the opening bars I began to weep. History is up there for me. It tells my story. Sonnet finished me off ❤️
❤
I hope my grandchildren missing a oma like me ❤
I hope my children realisent this ❤
De geschiedenis zal zich herhalen my beautiful children 🎀
Remember this words ❤🎉😊
There is seriously nobody better. So very talented.
There is.. a legend known as Thom Yorke!
pure brilliance. imagine walking into a boozer & hearing a chap with a guitar playing this good. I think this the standard musicians should be aiming for...
His guitar playing is terrible..I can't honestly listen to it..History was great because his voice was more prominent..but it sounds like a shoebox with six elastic bands
You cannot create a perfect song... perfect songs just exist, they have always existed...
One cool dude !! Would love to meet him and tell him thanks for the tunes !!!!!!!

This performance stopped me dead in my tracks. Unbelievably good. The man is not merely a musician - he is a bona fide shaman
what a talent this guy is... uses the same chords in all his songs, and they're all so precious and unique regardless
History has always spoken for me. And Ashcroft, who I've heard can be a bit of an arse in person, is without a doubt a legendary talent. The pureness of a man and a guitar performing to this level is as good as it gets!
RA is in a class of his own. No one compares.
Met him a few times when he came in to my shop to buy oriental carpets. Lovely man, gentle and quiet and sincere.

Pure emotion
The guys a legend❤❤❤
