This was a rare song that legit got me to cry after dealing with a family death. STRAIGHT CLASSIC!

Fun fact... This song is deliberately written with a dichotomy. It expresses Richards troubles with recreational drug use AND the pain of watching his father go through chemotherapy for cancer. The false dichotomy being that recreational drugs can give an instant high but have a come down and are usually the source of a lot of pain but chemo has an instant degradation in health with only a potential for improvement. The unfortunate fact is this one was written back in the 90's before we had the developments in cancer treatments and survivability was only about 50-75%. It's a beautiful way to write a song and influenced me massively and also touched a nerve because I lost my own father only 3 years prior to cancer ♥️

Top tune from '97. Originally talked about Ashcroft's recreational drug use and knowing he'd keep taking them even though they made things worse. Since been linked to death of his father in law (cancer) and the chemo.

Your videos are sick!! Love hearing you listen to these iconic songs for the first time

Sonnet by the Verve is great too!!!

This song is so much deeper than you can imagine

It's so great to experience all these classic songs as if it was the first time I've heard it with you. Have you found that listening to all these have broadened your music taste?

One of the best songs ever made!

Thank you for the smiles - first time I made it through this song without crying (myself). Much love and respect !!

Richard Ashcroft, Noel & Liam Gallagher are 3 of the greatest singer songwriters and you really can't go wrong listening to them. RA is my personal favorite artist.

Damn, this is a heavy one.

This song made me cry when my dad played it to me

Family it’s about his watching his grandpa watch over his grandma die! Solid yer..!

I really enjoy this reaction, lol

The drugs you get when you have cancer makes you worse😩

Oh this hits right in the feels

I remember listening to this for the 1st time too and guess what I did stuck it on repeat for about 2 hours 👍🏻

Love this man! Do Radiohead Creep or Paranoid Android

Richard Ashcroft - Birds fly or this thing called life. Or just do both 😉

This song reminds me of my sister when she was dying of C and the drugs didn't touch the side.

Please react to The verve - Lucky Man

ita about cancer

This song is about his father dying of cancer and the chemo he was on.

Mans feeling this one, those lyrics and vocal melody are insane
