#858 The Verve – Urban Hymns

Posted on by anoceanroars

The Verve hit is big with their third album Urban Hymns. It is one of the best-selling album in U.K. chart history. One of the most iconic songs “Bitter Sweet Symphony” is on it it. Even I know this album extremely well. If you remember from previous entries I was not listening to much music in 1997.

My favourite songs were back in the day “Bitter Sweet Symphony” and “Lucky Man“. I can really relate to the last song’s lyrics.

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

Now, after all these years I really like “Sonnet“, “This Time”, and “Space and Time”. Actually I like the whole album. I like the epic music and vocalist Richard Ashcroft has a soothing vocal for me. I recommend it to anyone who likes alt. rock and Britpop. 9/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
