Description: The Verve (formerly Verve) was an English alternative rock band of the 1990s, originally formed in 1989 at Winstanley Sixth Form College, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, by vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. Simon Tong later became a member. Beginning with a psychedelic sound indebted to space rock and shoegazer music, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and two acclaimed records. They also endured name and lineup changes, breakups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band's commercial breakthrough was Urban Hymns and the single "Bitter Sweet Symphony", which became a massive worldwide hit. Soon after this commercial peak, the band quit amid creative struggles between the band, yet singer Richard Ashcroft denied claims it was between him and guitarist Nick McCabe. By then they had become one of the most influential British alternative rock acts of the decade, and with Urban Hymns defined an era.

bleuroo ::: Favorites Verve videos up to this point were hit-or-miss -- usually just "let's take drugs and go drive somewhere" -- but this one, as evident from the first few seconds (where they walk past each other, turn from each other, stare off into space dejectedly , etc) -- this was a bulls-eye ... the non-band segments reinforce that alienation beautifully. Haunting images for a haunted song. 07-09-16 03:43:07 __________________________________________________
