Velvet Morning
The Verve Lyrics
Yes
It's been long
And yes
I still feel strong
Into the half light
Another velvet morning for me, yeah
Time
Stands still
Your last pill
Into the half light
Another velvet morning for me, yeah
And now I'm trying to tell you
About my life
And my tongue is twisted
And more dead than alive
And my feelings
They've always been betrayed
And I was born a little damaged man
And look what they made
I said, don't you find
That it's lonely
The corridor, you walk there alone
And life is a game
You've tried
And life is a game
You're tired
Yes
I'm coming down
Your beauty is
A color surround
Into the half light
Another velvet morning for me, yeah
And now I'm trying to tell you
About my life
And my tongue is twisted
And more dead than alive
And my feelings
My feelings, they've been betrayed
And I was born a little damaged man
And look what they made
He said, don't you find
That it's lonely
The corridor, you walk there alone
And life is a game
You've tried
And life is a game
You're tired
And life is a game
You've tried

The band was formed in 1989 at Winstanley College, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, by vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. Simon Tong later became a member. The band originally split in 1995, but reunited in 1996 to great commercial success. They split once more in April 1999. The band reunited once more in June of 2007, but this reunion was short lived, despite the release of the album Forth in 2008, and the band split again in August 2009.
Beginning with a psychedelic sound indebted to space rock and shoegazer music, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and two acclaimed records. They also endured name and lineup changes, breakups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band's commercial breakthrough was Urban Hymns and its single Bitter Sweet Symphony, which became a massive worldwide hit.
Soon after this commercial peak, the band quit amid creative struggles within, and Ashcroft went onto a successful solo career. Tong briefly joined Blur as a replacement for Graham Coxon. It is rumored that Simon Jones did a studio album with Ari Pap of the Floor Monks called 'Aint Nothing To It' and was never released because they both had bigger projects going on at the time. Close family and friends assure us its a fabulous indie/rock/alternate album and they really wish it would have been released.
The Verve were chosen to close the 2008 Glastonbury festival which they did with a set based on the classic 1997 album 'Urban Hymns'.

Harmonically, the "don't you find, that it's lonely" parts are just beautiful. I'm a musician myself, and this is the best song on the album, for me, just for those little segments. Watch the footage of them performing it live at Glastonbury. Wonderful.

Oh, so glad to read this. I'm not a musician and lately, listening to the album, which I didn't for years, and particularly to this song, I became blisfully lost at that part of the chorus, and finding it strangely perfect without knowing the technical reason, and thinking how superb it is and sadly so underrrated. Best song no doubt. One Day is quite special as well.

This song got me through some roughest times in college.
I was seeing a therapist, who was awesome and everything, but at the end of the day, I felt so much more understood by this song than by him. The thing is, it didn’t fix any of my problems. But it made me feel a little less alone in the cold dark place I was in, and it made all the difference in the world. Music, bless your soul

@L ROME it's about depression, drugs, being cheated on and trying to find meaning in life after all of it.

Danny Hubert
