Weeping Willow
The Verve Lyrics
When morning breaks
We hide our eyes and our lungs aching
Nothing's strange
It was in our hands from six to ten
It slipped right out again
There'll be no better time
There'll be no better way
There'll be no better day to save me
Save me
Yeah, save me
I hope you see like I see
I hope you see what I see, yeah yeah
I hope you feel like I feel
And the world don't stop
There is no time for cracking up
Believe me, friend
'Cause when freedom comes
I'll be long gone
You know it has to end
There'll be no better time
There'll be no better way
There'll be no better day to save me
Yeah, save me
Yeah, save me
Yeah, save me
I hope you see like I see, yeah yeah
I hope you feel what I feel, yeah yeah
Someone to stand beside me
(Beside me, beside me)
(Beside me, beside me)
(Beside me, beside me)
(Beside me, beside me)
(Beside me, beside me)
(Beside me, beside me)
(Beside me, beside me)
Weeping willow
The pills under my pillow
Weeping willow
The pills under your pillow
Weeping willow
The gun under under your pillow
Weeping willow
Weeping willow
(Beside me, beside me)
(Beside me, beside me)

This song illustrates the singer's battle with depression and thoughts of suicide. This is a battle The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft has known all too well, as he is a clinically diagnosed manic depressant who has battled with depression, drug addictions, and thoughts of suicide since the late '90s.
Ashcroft married Kate Radley from the band Spiritualized in 1995 - she's likely the inspiration for lines like:

In his songs, Ashcroft has often expressed a desire for intimate understanding, with Radley in mind. It's what he calls a "positive love ambition."
"Urban Hymns" was conceived as a Richard Ashcroft solo album, as The Verve had broken up. As it moved forward, Ashcroft enlisted help from this former bandmates, and it ended up becoming a Verve album and re-forming the band. The album became one of the biggest in the history of their native UK, but in America, only the single "Bitter Sweet Symphony" had much impact. The band broke up again in 1999, got back together to release another album in 2008, then split up again soon after.

the last great britpop album of the 90s. this song is the heart of 'Urban Hymns': disturbingly beautiful and haunting.it's the sound of being completely lost in a crowded city
