The Verve don't mope about the end of a relationship as much as they brood over the inevitability of its demise. When he returned, he had one final statement. As with A Storm In Heaven’s “Blue,” brought in at the last minute, “History” would point towards The Verve’s next record: a stately acoustic ballad drenched in strings and which would resonate further than anyone could have imagined. “We were like, ‘F__king hell! That’s an incredible song,’” Jones recalls. The band recorded it that night. McCabe, however, declined to add a lead guitar part, feeling the song was perfect without him; Ashcroft would misread this as McCabe’s refusal to be a part of a song he hadn’t written. Regardless, the end result stands as the perfect encapsulation of the “pained” emotion Ashcroft’s northern soul had experienced. The legacy Larkin, Colin (2011). "Verve". The Encyclopedia of Popular Music (5th conciseed.). Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-85712-595-8. Stormy Clouds - A very trippy song filled with Richards great world-weary lyrics. Other than that it's an average song that doesn't stand out much compared with the rest of the album. (3/5)Reportedly, the song “A Northern Soul” was written as a response to Noel Gallagher (of Oasis, who The Verve had been touring with) dedicating his song “Cast No Shadow” to Richard Ashcroft, forming an eternal bond between the two. That being said, without a doubt “History” is the most brilliant song on the album, a song that opens the record up like a flower destined to bloom only at night, and should have ushered The Verve to the top of the charts, yet the song, like the entire album, is confession by fire, with majestic lines wonderfully sung such as “I got to tell the tale of how I loved and failed,” followed by “I’ve got a skin full of dope” … all of which kept this radically intense record from becoming the emancipated psychedelic hit it should have been, leaving the band to forever exist on the brink of being all that they should have been.

This one isn't as good as Brainstorm Interlude, but it certainly captures the feeling of a drug induced daze in a 6 minute song.

Following their performance at Lollapalooza in 1994, [4] The Verve returned to their Wigan-based practice room to begin writing and recording songs for their second studio album. [5] Commenting on the effect that working in the "dark rehearsal room" had on the band's songwriting process, frontman Richard Ashcroft stated: [5]I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who On Your Own - The first ballad on the album is really a preview of what would come to dominate Urban Hymns. A very pretty tune with great lyrics. The songs peaks when Ashcroft sings "lies, gotta get rid of this hole inside" in a high voice over a piano line. (4.5/5)

This album is the definition of what The Verve was. Impeccable songwriting, musicianship and production. There is one thing, though, that reminds you that they are albums by the same group. The shared conviction that there is only one thing really worth living for. Sometimes good, never great In my head, I always mix up The Verve and Pulp. Both are of that very North West England sound of the 90s to early 00s that I was surrounded by as a child, being from the exact area of the world. I’m not sure I recognise any song titles from this album though, so let’s listen.Owen Morris – producer; Hammond organ on "Brainstorm Interlude"; synthesised strings on "History", string arrangement on "History" It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. Williams, Simon (1 July 1995). "The Verve – A Northern Soul". NME. Archived from the original on 30 September 2000 . Retrieved 8 July 2016. With their first album the Verve created an atmospheric soundscape in the vein of fellow shoegazers My Bloody Valentine and Ride. For their follow up effort A Northern Soul, the Verve followed the direction they were headed with songs like "Blue", creating trippy pop songs with passionate lyrics of love and despair.
