I remember seeing The Verve perform this at some festival or other. It was the most incredible live gig I've ever seen. My heart was in my mouth.

Saw Ashcroft alone at the southampton Guildhall, what a legend, utter genius.

I was only about 7 or 8 when Urban Hymns came out and this song reminds me so much of my childhood. Every time I listen to it, it brings a tear to my eye. A truly great song.

One of the few occasions when a record reaches #1 because its a great record. Despite its downbeat theme,it carries an optimistic feel,and he knows he will see her face again.

when i first hear it it i thought who wrote this, because i am going to buy every single cd of that song, so noone can listen to it but me. i get selfish about things that i think are about me, and love. this reminds me of my childhood. happy and sad.
