Con un estilo lírico que oscila entre la desesperanza, el romanticismo y la redención, The Verve convirtió sus rolas en pequeñas dosis de filosofía callejera. Con el tiempo perdido mordiéndonos las espaldas y perspectivas un poquito más crudas de todo lo que nos rodea, Richard Ashcroft y compañía dejaron registro de rolas y frases que nunca dejarán de resonar en quienes buscan algún significado en cada nota musical. Y acá vamos a recordar algunas de ellas:
1. Finding myself used to be hard, but now I see the light. If love is a drug then I don’t need it.
This is Music/ A Northern Soul LP/ 1995
2. Been circling round for 20 years and in that time I’ve seen all the fires and all the liars. I’ve been calling home for 20 years and in that time I heard the screams rebound to me. While, you were making history.
Star Sail/ A Storm in Heaven LP/ 1993
3. So I’ve got the car, we drove for a mile, I didn’t even learn her name. She said: You’ve got the money and I’ve got the time.
All in the Mind/ All in the Mind EP/ 1993
4. There ain’t no space and time to keep our love alive, we have existance and it’s all we share. There ain’t no real truth, there ain’t no real lies, keep on pushing ‘cause I knot it’s there.
Space and Time/ Urban Hymns LP/ 1997
5. Love is noise, love is pain. Love is these blues that I’m singing again, again, again, again.

6. All I want is someone who can fill the hole in the life I know, in between life and death, when there’s nothing left. Do you want to know?

7. Lookin’ back on my life, You know that all I see are things I coul’ve changed, I could have done. No time for sad lament, a wasted life is bitter spent.
