What a voice, doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, top class musician

[BobHoopClassic]

100% live... no miming, no backing track, no cr*ppy vocal autotune.... HUGE Respect!

[jimmyRHCP]

Urban Hymns in it's entirety is just a masterpiece.

[michaelcouzigou]

one of the greatest songs of the 20th century.

Richard Ashcroft is an amazing person . I lived in Upholland were he is from. I know about his kindness . He prevented a relative with quite severe dyslexia from being bullied at school. He deserves his sucess.

Oasis used to open up for 'The Verve' let's not forget that Richard Ashcroft is a fucking legend and one of the best singers in the world.

[TheMingsee]

This is insane.
I have listened to this song for over 20years, and I cannot believe this version stirs up the same feelings in me like I'm listening to it for the first time again.

My brother knew the drugs don't work he stopped taking them telling me to tell no one, motor neurone disease took him a year later RIP bro this was our song.

[Bob-moggit]

We were blessed in the 90s with superb bands

[savyman]

This song came out as my Mum (only 52 years old ) had been given just a few months to live as cancer ravaged her body and brain, the drugs didn't work and 26 years later I still can't hear this song without crying but this version particularly brings it all home, just superb

[Acidwavebrah]

This is one of the best songs ever written. Richard Ashcroft is always amazing to listen to.

[Stuiebee]

I'm 84 and I listen to this every night before my bed in case I die in my sleep.

[mezzy]

Such an underrated songwriter, singer and performer. His music is from the soul.

[cookleywolf]

I think the expressions on the faces of the other musicians in the room tells you that this is one hell of a performance.

[jamielogan]

Was lucky enough to be a teenager in the 90’s, love this song.

[bth]

The sound engineer did an amazing job with this mix. Richard's voice is simply amazing. Glad to hear he finally get the royalties for Bittersweet Symphony...

[neiless]

Surely, one of the best male vocalists of all time

[chindlechandlerfruz]

Played this at my sisters funeral she died of leaukemia bless her the drugs didn't work, loved this song always but now so much more...

[agentnil]

God bless Ashcroft. He is right. I gave up the drugs after which I could work. I’m proud to announce I’ve been sober for 8 years and a hobby craft salesperson for 12
