The Verve

The season premiere of Entourage reminded me that we have yet to delve into the stacks of albums and books on the floor of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's apartment as captured by Todd Selby. Strange segue, I know, so let me explain. As the episode closes, Vince comes home to an empty house while The Verve's "Lucky Man" plays hauntingly in the background. I instantly remembered both how much I love this song and that Urban Hymns is one of Julia's favorite albums. And I want to stress that she owns the album grooving at 33 rotations per minute, très frais.

Happiness, more or less...It's just a change in me...Something in my liberty...Oh, my, my...

I was flicking through this category and found this post, and The Verve are one of my favourite bands too! I had the hugest crush on Richard Ashcroft when I was about 13, and nine years later, a guy friend and I both concurred that if we had to pick a musician for either of us to date, we'd pick him (and my friend isn't even gay). I love his voice.

Urban Hymns is an awesome album, but my favourite song- History- isn't on it.

Dru, that is so funny! I read somewhere after writing this post that the song I linked to "Lucky Man" is Julia's favorite song by the Verve and it is mine, too! Music has cosmic tones...
