Music video by The Verve performing Rather Be.
March 26th 2024. Bring back The Verve!
Here🙂🤪
April
The best walking singer.
lmao
Jajajajaja
😂
Hahaha every video his signature
hahahaha
He can walk in cities and walk in woods and still sing like a champ
Facts! Haha
Sorry about you all😪
proof that physical is one thing, charisma is an other ;) the man is legendary
@@victoriadejesus3648 why is that?
😂😂😂
One of the most underrated singers of all time
One of the best voices of all time!!
One of the best songwriters also...
hard to argue to that
Really???? his voices is minus average
WE NEED THE VERVE AGAIN ¡¡¡¡
Yes we do
So true!
We do but there's only Ashcroft that doesn't want it
Yes, me too. I have seen live Oasis in 2009 and PULP in 2011. Now give me blur and The Verve!!!! Right now!!! ^^
@@TheJarvis91 Are you Jarvis Cocker....?
the sound of the verve is so unique ...
Totally agreed
While I agree with this comment there is no such thing as being 'so' unique . The word unique has to be used on its own because it means one of a kind . You can't be so or very one a kind . Sorry it's one of my pet hates . Let's get back to the amazing music that is the verve !
Nick McCabe's (Verve guitarist) sound is definitely unique. No one comes even close to him.
Parabéns pra voce
yes, indeed! just now discovering The Verve.
I love it when Richard doesn't wear sunglasses or have his hair in his eyes. i like seeing the entirety of his beautiful face.
Handsome with or without
One of the greatest bands in history 💙
By far!
It's only once the verve get into your head, you realise this, we're the fortunate ones .
The best of 90's brit pop... Much better than Oasis.
❤
A gentle Northern Soul....this man has so much swagger it's ridiculous!
Bring back The Verve.
I swear this man is a prince in some universe somewhere
Bloody right there.
not you?
You mean king
he's not of this world that's for sure.. truly gifted
@@BellaZella3000 many beings comes from other high tech universus to learn empathy
Oh my this human is handsome, not to mention incredibly musically gifted.
He should have a vest on, mind. It looks a bit nippy. His mum will have to have words.
This song deserves more recognition
There's no need for introductions No dark corridors or things You won't find your fortune You might find some pain I wanna lie, lie together Feels like our last embrace In a world full of confusion Yeah, the human race But I'd rather be here than be anywhere Is there anywhere better than here? You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare Is there anywhere better than here? Sometimes life seems to tear us apart I don't wanna let you go Sometimes these feeling's hidden I start to cry 'cause I won't ever let you go We're multiplying Always living under some cloud Always on the eve of destruction Make you wanna scream out loud And as I watch the birds soar My lies in which you spun Oh mama, mama why I'm still crying? Oh, another day is come 'Cause I'd rather be here than be anywhere Is there anywhere better than here? You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare Is there anywhere better than here? Sometimes life seems to tear us apart Don't wanna let you go Sometimes these feeling's hidden I start to cry 'cause I won't ever let you go But I'd rather be here than be anywhere Is there anywhere better than here? You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare Is there anywhere better than here? But I'd rather be here than be anywhere Is there anywhere better than here? You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare Is there anywhere better than here? Sometimes this feeling gives me Sometimes this feeling gives me These feelings are oh so rare
ONE of the BEST Song in the World.
Yeah the Verve made it
Agreed.
I can't forget the moment I discovered this song as a teenager, now I have rediscovered it. The best reflection that less is more, what a simple structure and melody and what a great song. What a great band.
Check "Can't Get It Out of My Head" by Electric Light Orchestra" :)
@@user-yy7lh2ng5c I will! Thanks
he's a beautiful human
Yes he is
The verve all have Beautiful Souls 💜❤️ AMEN
yes ....
Richard s personality seems attractive. Unfortunately, I don’t know the guy but I wish I could have a pint with him and talk about the 90s. He sounds fascinating. 😍
His voice is great but the way he sings is too awesome!
so he wasn't satisfied walking by the city streets in bitter sweet symphony and decided to keep walking til find this place far away
Seems much happier getting back in touch with nature.
To be fair Love, he's just probably off his box. It doesn't cost anything to piss about in a wood. Don''t read too much into these vids :)
Yeah he's much happier touching nature, oul greenclaws.
"do an Ashcroft" could easily be an expression for walking/wondering around by this point... Yeah, I'm definitely gonna start using this now
He'd rather be there
The most underrated band ever
The BEST english band from 90s!
This song is perfect.
we're no different than any other country. Doesn't matter where you're from, talent is found in brilliant people
Agreed, the album too.
totalmente!
So perfect💘
True story: Myself and girlfriend were present when he recorded this video. It was up on May Hill in Gloucestershire on a pretty grim autumn day. We even appear at 3.01 over Richard's left shoulder. What a day to go out walking!
It would be lovely to be strolling through the park and see Richard Ashcroft wandering around soulfully....
Yes it would..Holding his hand.Love his songs
Love yo music love yo words..I love walking with u in this video..and never let u go
Wandering Aschrfotly, or Ashcroftesquely :-D
Hidden gem, only four million views 03,10,23 Is there anywhere better than here...
Real. Richard . Thank you , man , for being so fucking honest. Some of us are dying for just a second of truth.
Richard Ashcroft legend.
same.
Yes it's true
Forgot how many great tunes the Verve had
Hes still walking ... goddamit richard.
I lived there for 28 years and know exactly how he feels.
Richard is always walking like a bad ass in his vids.
dude got swagger 👊
....great song...great words...great voice....the verve are super...
yeap :)
Nostalgia!
How the hell I missed this jewel...touched my soul :)
Still alive?
first i didn't like this song.now it's like drug.. his voice,lyrics,tune and a nice picturisation..
Fell in love with it at first hearing!
"I was on the eve of destruction" that lyric really hits me!
This song is really underrated, didn't even make the top 40!
Michael that because "they don't own him"..
We live in a very different world to when Verve were in their prime. Music, as a whole, has gotten a whole shit tonne worse, as have peoples taste in music. Sad times.
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES!
@@Soulrollsdeep absolutely,but I think pop music generally has been going downhill rapidly since rap and hip hop reared it’s ugly head.still what do I know?
I loved this song when it came out always hated how it didn't even make the top 40 it deserved the Top 20 at least I preferred it to "Love is Noise". But at least they got some chart success around this time getting a top 5 hit with "Love is Noise". The Album "Forth" also reached number one in the Album Charts.
He walks so far, until he comes outside the city. Epic singing march.
Again, just like "Lucky Man" simple but unique but deep. Love it!
I want this song played at the graveside for my funeral.
+OctozoidPRS me too that a good idea! I like it.
+OctozoidPRS Same here brother
+OctozoidPRS you would rather be dead than alive?
me too
not me but we have the same destiny after all good idea +OctozoidPRS
Desde mi punto de vista este grupo es el mejor, pero la gente no supo apreciarlo bien y solo un album salio exitoso, por favor, busquen más temas de este grupo, es uno de los mejores de los años 90s sin duda.
Es verdad nunca se lo valoro como por ejemplo a oasis,otra gran banda para mi, aveces es cuestión de suerte
Totalmente de acuerdo, tienen canciones exquisitas q no se apreciaron como debía
The Verve para mi es de las mejores bandas que eh escuchado,realmente una lastima que no lo supieran valorar como se debiera,lo mismo pasa con Richard en solista
Dissee tudoo👏👏👏
@@danielanascimento3265 Never Wanna See You Cry, So Sister, On Your Own (The Verve) 💚 You On My Mind In My Sleep, Science Of Silence, I Get My Beat (Richard Ashcroft) 💚
Legend has it this man still walks throughout the universe today.
British music at its best Pure class!
You British people have the best currency in the world ( the pound )and best music artists in the world !! Congrats guys !! And there's a good reason why your country is called GREAT Britain...now I know it !!
+ClockworkSlave I'm from Italy ( pizza, mafia and mandolino , you know !) and I live in Tuscany :)
+Cybernella Sam British food sucks ...
+Priyankita Pant Britain has more of the world's top chefs than anywhere else. Also, proper, authentic British food is absolutely delicious.
+silv3r36 are you kidding? the most of mexicans love the UK culture
most commonwealth countries' cultures have developed the same school of thought as that existing in the UK, I wouldn't dare say UK has the greatest music artistes, they could very likely be found in these other societies
The intensity ,the walk ,the role ,the life theatre ,with time memories bring joy to the heart ,the departed card does plays a role
Fellows, feels like our last embrace. Ashcroft's a Genious.
I love this song, is more deep than it looks for me, a song that if you are depressed, you can feel how the lyrics describe what are you feeling and that thought of ''I guess better be here than anywhere'' that keeps you pushing a bit more and don't do something stupid. The magic of this song is that, when you pass that depression status is when you really understand the meaning of the song. At least for me is about a "happy" acceptation of what is life, sometimes you are in deep shit, and some others you are full of joy. Is a song that makes you be greatfull for being human "you know this feelings I have found they are all so rare, is there anywhere better than here?" If we wouldn't have bad moments, we wouldn't enjoy the good ones.
Абсолютно согласен с тобой!🎼🎻🎸
This is what I thought of this song too
Great comment
Me levanta ..me invita a volar por sobre los problemas ...darme cuenta que estoy a pesar de todo en el mejor lugar
U explained the song very well ,thanx❤
Love The Verve please come back!!!!! Love your music!!!
Long live King Richard !
Richard always seems to be his most Zen self when he's walking around singing and playing guitar outside or making grass angels in an empty field, then riding that beautiful Triumph (symbolic?) in the video 'They Don't Own Me'....
I'm in love with Richard Ashcroft!!! He has an amazing singing voice!!!
Very iconic look and unique sound.
The Verve miss you..
Essa música me passa uma energia , um sentimento único . Para mim a carga sentimental que ela passa é mais forte que Bitter Sweet Symphony.
unbelielavable singer .
He's gifted 100 % his music is timeless.
Richard..U Give so much under standing that no one knows..Keep giving...U are BEAUTIFUL.And to me..Handsome..
Richard sings from the soul, you can just feel it
Simply genius
walk in nature and watch your worries fall like the leaves from the trees-John Muir
The greatest voices come out of pain.....
it is still beautiful and so pure
Only 5k subscribers ? They should be having it in Billions!
This man seriously has one of the best voices ive ever heard
he also says it to himself about himself...
This needs more views Richard Ashcroft is an absolute superstar one of the best talents in the UK for sure. Pure gem of an artist, Unique I know I'd "Rather Be"
The best Singer in the World !!
This song seems so apt for what we as a human collective, are going through currently in 2020.
He is so great ,and does nothing wrong , every one of his songs satisfy me .
This walking+lyrics is very poetic
Whenever I loose my head because of anxiety and the symptoms over take such as nausea... I blast this tune and sing my heart out. Richard is a healer.
I love this song, the album Forth is underrated, little known really but its a gem to those that do know it ✝️
THE greatest musician in the world
What a Masterpiece!!
ANOTHER GREAT PERFORMANCE BY THE EVER BRILLIANT RICHARD ASHCROFT!
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
2021 até hoje estamos na quarentena. As vezes venho escutar o Richard cantar pra eu esquecer o que está acontecendo no mundo. Quem aí se identifica?
My fave male singer of all time.... such talent and presence ❤️
Handsome man . And very talented.
Legend says he's still walking and shoving people out of the way. I love Oasi... err Verve.
Oasis is shit
Such a good song and Nostalgic. This song take us to a peaceful mind... nice one.
Me encanta el dramatismo de este hombre al cantar!!
this is pure magic
best writer, musician and Lover🙏❤✊
my favorite of Richard ,the best !
wonderfall music ❤🎵
It feels so real
What's happening, it's my favourite music video! 💔💔💔
I now expect that every single Verve video will be this dude walkin through somewhere
There sure must be other places better than here! This song reminds me about a part of my life that was rather tragic but I managed to pull through and fortunately save myself in the process! This was also possible thanks to Richard and his great music! Thank you for this song and making me realize I’m not alone! You have been, are, and will always be one of my greatest musical heroes! 🙂
Como cuando una canción te abre nuevas perspectivas emocionales mediante su magnífica música, muy inmersiva. Stunning como se dice en lengua inglesa.
I'm glad I haven't died yet. It took me this long to hear this song.
Legend
Pure gold
No no no..... Pure Gems and Diamonds, Amazing.
KZheadNONesistE dude bidisha cool
“WOW” Just when I think I’ve heard all the classic tunes Richard Ashcroft puts out,,.....”WHAM” And he hits me with another Gem. I don’t know how many times I’ve commented on his music and said this but I’ll say it again. “ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SINGER/SONGWRITERS OF OUR TIME” pure genius. Give this man the accolade he deserves.
This song and Bittersweet Symphony are my favorites
This is what I call SWAG..
you are right he does have a lot of swag
Damn how I wish this band would continue making music. Ugh!
❤️ "... sometimes these feelings hit me, I start to cry... "
This song is so beautiful.. I cant stop playing it today, touches your soul.
🤪
