Me singing The Verve.
I wanted to sing the songs of many bands and artists on Youtube, and deciding which one was to be next was less than easy with all the choice I had, but I chose a song from one of my favourite bands in the end. Their album "Urban hymns" has been played many times in my house and car. The band was "The verve" and the song was "The drugs dont work".
I read somewhere that Richard Ashcroft wrote this song about his mother, and the cancer she suffered. Which adds other dimensions to the song as far as emotional content is concerned.
I've always liked singing this song. Before I even knew what it was really about. I never thought it was about drugs. I always thought it was about the addiction of love.
So on to my performance of this song. You can see my interpretation below:
There were other songs by the verve that I enjoyed singing. That also goes for some other bands and singers that I admire. With that in mind, it's not really a shock to discover that I did more that one of their songs :)
