Released in 1992, The Verve E.P. is the best debut I have ever heard from a band of any genre. The atmospheric tones of Nick McCabe's guitar, the flowing rhythm set forth by Peter Salisbury and Simon Jones, and the hushed dramatic vocals of Richard Ashcroft. All this makes for a mind blowing, brilliant piece of music. The first time I heard this I was dumbfounded. "How do they do that? That sound!!!"

GRAVITY GRAVE

Get Back, get back again and again
I've been here since I can remember when
My life is a boat, being blown by you
With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue...


To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone


Come back, come back again and again,
I've been here since I can remember when
The world just spins whilst mine stands still
Nothing's changed in your gravity grave


To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone


To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
Go down on your light
So bright it burns my eyes
Sounds like a perfect way
To end my life
To me you're like a setting sun...
To me you're like a setting sun...


A MAN CALLED SUN

Everybody seems to know when he's around
He lifts me up and fades without a sound
Mr. Sun won't you shine?
Mr. Sun won't you shine?

Why he's here I will never know
He makes you know you feel
Like somewhere to go

Mr. Sun won't you shine?
Mr. Sun just you shine

Walking with a man called Sun
I think my journey's just begun
Do you think he'll mind?

He lifts you up he shines
And then he's gone
But you know you need him
More when he's gone

Mr. Sun just shine
Mr. Sun just shine

Walking with a man called Sun
I think my journey's just begun
Do you think he'll mind?


Shine...
Shine...
Shine...
Shine...
Let it shine...


SHE'S A SUPERSTAR

Here she comes
Seven suns
A burning flame
She got my love
Got my head
But it's all the same
She climbed so high
I don't know why
High
On her own

And I know
She's in the air
And I don't want it to go
I can feel her love
But I don't want it to go

She got my woe
Got my hand
Took the dreams
Right outta my head
She bought the world
I paid the bills
I took those pills
It was wind in her sails
She climbed so high
I don't know why
High,
On her own

And I know
She's in the air
And I don't want it to go
I can feel her love
But I don't want it to go


ENDLESS LIFE

Drink the water to ease my pain
Nights like these I only read about
Nights like these I only dreamt about
As we turned
As we rolled
I felt something strange
I felt you
Something light
Something so bright
I think it was the way of things
I think it was the way of things
Back come back again
Get me a life
Get me a life and see it in everything
Through the dim light
Through those dim lights
I've fallen I'm falling falling falling falling
In the endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life
Endless life

FEEL

This darkness cooled my light
We move to different sides
I poured the guilt right over my eyes
As I rose to greet the sky

I've never felt this before
See you dead on the floor
I can't recall a single day
That's gonna make this pain slip away

My senses have been so cold
Didn't know how to feel or hold
For a second I felt something in you
For a second I believed in you

And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel

And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel

And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel

And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel

We could, my friend
We can
We could, my friend
We can
We should not end
I wanna be part of...

And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel
