Richard Ashcroft has got his own spirit and influence on people. He is as he is. Doesn't change himself for any reason. The same wife, the same family. Not pretending anything for the sake of money. On the stage he closes his eyes and sings from his heart with all of the spectrum of his emotions and feelings. You can feel it from his voice, which in itself is strong and powerful (I'm not talking about the loudness but about the purity and some sort of being natural without faking anything to show off). He is a kind of an artist you either admire or simply dislike. I like his style and expression. He doesn't care but at the same time he is soft in himself.
Beautifully said. Richards’s voice is so unusual and his vocal style & control means he doesn’t need much else in a song, though he writes deep stuff & his touch on orchestration is superb.
Agree. This song has helped me out today, recovering from pneumonia. Been a hard day today, but Richard's talent has helped me out. He is a genius with a God-given talent 👍
fantastic song, great video, no fancy cinematography just Ashcroft's soul and personality, Britain's best singer songwriter enjoying his own music, and seeing his confidence and listening to his vocals inspires.
Jesus has got him now mate, he's all good. Get on the Jesus bus and join us all on the journey back to Heaven. The true LIGHT is coming back. God bless you, Hold on 👍👍
Amazing thing about Richard Ashcroft is his songs travels along with time and never gets old whenever you listen. I am sure my grand kids will be enjoying too.
Check out his music with his first two solo albums. They are classics. The best music of our age, wholesome God-orientated, marriage influenced his music with positivity, yet also reflected the sorrow in the world.
What can i say about this genius theres not enough superlatives to describe this man's craft ever since i bought urban hymns soo long ago was actually the first ever cd i ever purchased & now have every verve album and all his solo albums and i adore them all it's like fine wine.. you know when i going through bout's of depression bad days anxiety.. his music seems to help me somehow and i am so thankful for his music and hope he makes many more albums defo one of best songwriters this country has ever had
Why there's people that doesn't like this video? Do they prefer to see him dancing in a pool with girls in bikini? No, this isn't Richard. He is simple, only with his music, voice and guitar reaches our hearts. He don't need ornaments. His music adpater modern style without losing its essence. Great Richard!
What a beautiful, fun, upbeat song for 2016, the year of my graduation from high school. It didn't even come to my notice until 2019 or 2020, after seeing the video for "Bittersweet Symphony" here on UA-cam. And now whenever I listen to it, I feel nostalgic for, and even like it is, 2016. In a sad way, because now I feel like I MISS it. I first became aware of this musician in 2013, when I downloaded his solo song "Human Condition" from Google Play Music because it was the free song of the day. And in 2016, I just had no interest in his music....
Is it just me or does Richard directly talk to us and knows we are great minds alike? I wanna see this man live my big brother seen the Verve he's no longer here but he got me in to the Verve and Richard when I was young. I remember the days of bitter sweet sympathy before school. Memories to last a life time hope you come to Belfast sometime soon and of course vaccines and CPR tests won't be needed as this great man is against the plannedemic
Es una de las canciones que no dejaré de escuchar en lo que sigue del año. Richard Ashcroft se mantiene vigente, no necesita seguir las grandes corrientes ni nada de eso. Se nota que trabaja todavía por amor a la música. Se agradece que músicos como él y muchos mas todavía se den el tiempo y conserven energías para volver a encantarnos.
This song has been such a comfort to me, when I lost my mother I lost myself in music, I felt like Richard was speaking to me while I was going through hell and subsequently depression! ❤
Just got this album & this guy is AWAKE. Love some of these lyrics. & he's so effortless with it. Actually "They don't own me" just had me picking up my guitar for the first time in literally months. Three/four chord anthems, Ashcroft at his best.
Apocalyptic mind my head was full of sorrow whispered words of logic things i need to learn, this whole song is just genius and why doesn't Ashcroft get the praise and celebration of his talents as he deserves? Inspirational ain't the word RA ROCKS!
Saw a video of Richard singing this amazing song in Liverpool, so passionate, had tears in my eyes #holdon #holdtheline #theywontcontrolus #freedomoverfear
Heard this in the gym tonight..... Listened about 20 times now... Love this... Saw Richard Ashcroft in Manchester 16 years ago.... You don't forget those nights.... Fantastic.
You are an incredibly emotional and charismatic being. I am French and do not understand the lyrics of your songs but their melody and your voice makes me very good. Thank you.
Richard kind of walked by me on my life journey.. the mindset in the 90s was so different, i'm glad we rescued ourselves from the apocalyptic parts and kept the romantic parts...
Richard Ashcroft. Not just song and dance, but poetry in motion. Loved the air violin, although I go for a bit of air guitar now and again lol. Nice one Richard, your triumph on They Don't Own Me, does it for me every time. Thanks for the memories
His music & and lyrics are becoming more relevant in 2024

When you struggle against depression this is pure medicine...

Medecine changed my life ! Each morning is a chance to enjoy the day !

It certainly does unfortunately!🖒

I don’t know how he isn’t bigger than what he is. He should have millions and millions of fans in my opinion. His music is amazing

Richard gave a great interview recently. Not only a great musician, but very charismatic and intelligent.
I love this. So rare a soul talks the truth.
His lyrics and snog writing are incredible, the best for decades in my opinion!
yeah...the whole album is great ;)
BROWNER included in that ....
Top top snog writer!😆
Check out his music with his first two solo albums. They are classics. The best music of our age, wholesome God-orientated, marriage influenced his music with positivity, yet also reflected the sorrow in the world.
Shout out to anyone going through a tough time, hold on
Hold on for the rapture it’s coming so very soon❤
And shine on man
Earlier than expected man, down hill from here
This genius doesn't need fancy productions to express his music, listen to lyrics, his musical ability is unrivalled.
Love Richard Ashcroft every songs touches my soul.
Can’t wait to see Richard Ashcroft & oasis at Murrayfield next year, what a privilege to have tickets to see these legend 🏴🤞😍

Only medecine can treat depression
@@TheGazavman well I've been taking numerous different ones for decades on & off none of them have cured me

His music adpater modern style without losing its essence. Great Richard!
I agree! OK the mask around his neck is kind of funny but I don't care...I'm listening to his amazing voice and that's all that matters!!!
I won't say no to some pool action & with every women with Botox and fake boobs to really hammer home the msg! lol :-)
M Magdalena F
That's exactly what i wanted to say😮😮😮
M Magdalena F 👏👏👌
They probably think best video is Pingu/gorillaz mashup
If ever you people get chance to see Richard 'live', don't miss the opportunity!
This song continues to blow me away....who knew Richard Ashcroft could be so purely joyful. This is so uplifting and I'm living for it ❤
I love this man he is a true legend.
Greetings from Morocco

You bring joy into the world, as well as hope and something to think about. You are such a beautiful human being Richard.

Listening to Mr Ashcroft amongst others is all you need to elevate your mind and spirit. 😎
So glad Richard Ashcroft is still active. Always loved his voice and songwriting

De veras ;-).
oh, sí, mira qué curioso encontrarlo precisamente en este video.
Buen día.
Hace volar la imaginacion.
May 2 2020 these words ring truer than ever
Too true my friend
Life can be so vicious, learning on your own can turn you heart to stone 😔
This guy is a visionary about the future.... His words, the mask, the atitude on 2016 ... The future is always RA...
And the fact he cancelled his headline act at a festival because he doesn't believe in mandatory vaccines
@@TheChosenOneuk
Brilliant 🤩
It’s a crying shame that most of hollyweird is under the $pell
My past, present and futuro. Always Natural Rebel ✊✌️💞 LOVE this man.💗RPA
