A Northern Soul - Album Listening Party

[hippy]

The Verve was such a creative band, it's a tragedy they aren't still together.

So true.


I would love to see them in concert...

 

[Axver]

am I the only one here who is hearing this for the first time?

I play the first half of the album a lot, but I'm not totally familiar with the second half. Not sure why I've played the second half so infrequently.

Patti, we'll replay the first 3 tunes once the album finishes. They're really the core of the record, and I don't think anyone will mind listening to them again!

 

[MrBrau1]

Drive You Home

Just float on those guitar notes!

 

[love_u2_adam]

no i came in late...so i wanna listen to them over!!!!

^!!!!!!

Of course we don't mind!

We need something to drag us back out of the hell of Richard's breakup lmao

Repeat the first three as many times as you want.

Drive You Home is probably part of the reason why I don't listen to the second half so often. This song doesn't really interest me, I feel like it drags.

 

[love_u2_adam]

You had no place to say "The skies are all mine
And I'm proud to be here
But when my lover cries I feel his tears"

I had never even heard of this group before I saw the thread about this earlier in the week, but it turns out I had one song from them in my itunes from a mixed cd, I got a few years ago,I’d never listened to.

"No Knock On My Door" is gonna blow your doors off!

I was thinking of the times I could have had

What song? Bittersweet Symphony, by any chance?

Incase anyone else wants follow along with the lyrics (I’m a big dork when I comes to reading lyrics and liner notes)

 

[Axver]

This "my angel, my lover" part really puts me off. I normally like Ashcroft's singing, but not in this case ...

 

[MrBrau1]

History.

Probably the best indicator of what was to come on "Urban Hymns."

 

[love_u2_adam]

i can't wait for life's an ocean

 

[pattip2000]

Sonnet

and the name of the mix they made was "Praise Music That Doesn't Make ME Wretch"

Me too thanks for the link


And you should definitely get the album "Urban Hymns" if you are liking what you hear tonight One of the best albums ever crafted...

Heh, the intro is a dead giveaway that you're absolutely right.

If I remember correctly, this was The Verve's biggest hit pre-Urban Hymns.

 

[MrBrau1]

So true.


I would love to see them in concert...

I saw them 2 X in 1995, and 2 more times in 1997.

They were spectacular live.

Sonnet

One of my favorite lyrics ever:

Yes, there's love if you want it

comes from that song

In the US I heard "On Your Own" quite a bit on Alternative Radio.

 

[love_u2_adam]

[MrBrau1]

I've got a skin full of dope

You've definitely just made yourself this thread's object of envy!

 

[MrBrau1]

Here it is:

NO KNOCK ON MY DOOR!

 

[love_u2_adam]

the last thing they put as lyric is sooo cool

 

[MrBrau1]

I took her to a room and I showed her myself,
