Dude I don’t think you know just how important you are to people like me who struggle sometimes with depression. Sharing your gift of humor and your perspectives brings me so much joy. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are helping people. Thanks
@Secure Administrator I’ve noticed I’ve been feeling less anxious since the election. Though I’d be an idiot to think a new President will fix everything that’s wrong in this country but we can at least begin the clean up and go from there.
Man, I haven't laughed so much at a youtube video for a long time. "You will need a new cerebellum....
" 😂😂😂
I'm with you dude, this dude's videos help me daily to deal with depression , I don't know why but hey do.
I said the same. He sees what people like us see and feels the same way we do. He gets it
@@wesleylord107 hang in there buddy you are not alone.👍
I love this song and it's very deep. Even the video has meaning. His walk is a representation of the path of life, the people he encounters are the people and events that we encounter through our lives. The guy with the fridge on a dolly is like a big life altering event that was narrowly avoided. The people he bumped into are the little speed bumps that help shape our lives. The girl in the car is a bad relationship, the car is the large event that he was able to cross and move on from but she didn't move on as easily and followed representing how a love can effect your life long term even after it's ended. The lady he knocked down was like an encounter where he hurt someone else's life in some way and he was recognizing that but still life continues without looking back. The girl that checked him out was like a perfect fling that came and went and left only a fond memory. The car that actually made him pause was a major life event that held him in place for a while, maybe good maybe bad but significant enough to make his life take pause but in the end it too did pass and life continued as always. And the end when the other four followed with him is like the people in your life who are there for the long haul whoever they may be they stick with you till the end while still living their own lives respectively.
@Levi Brand All I can say is WOW! What a break down ty!
@@deanmatheny5089 You're welcome and my thanks to you as well.
I've been watching this video on and off for the last 24 years and I've never thought of it that way before.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great observation. thank you
His name is Richard Ashcroft and he's also responsible for brilliant tracks like 'Lucky Man' and 'The Drugs Don't Work' PLEASE check him out. He's one of the UK's leading songwriters.
"Can't change my mold" really hits home for everyone. We get stuck in our own head
"he might shoulder you and you gotta get a new cerebellum" ...lol the cerebellum is the part of the BRAIN that controls coordination. BRILLIANT!
Yeah man that was the funniest thing I've ever heard 😂. I actually had to go back and listen to that again cuz I wasn't sure he said it. I'm gonna be saying that forever now. Lol!
lol I laughed so hard when I heard him say that...it took me to an Archie Bunker moment for a second,hahaha
Dude I lost my shit when he said that.
@@deelawson4551 my favorite from archie was "dont PUNCH a gift horse in the mouth"
This song defined a generation. And its mine. Mine and so SO many others. This song came out around 1997 and listening to it now it just reminds so many of us of a better time, and easier time. This song will forever be a nostalgia trip, back to when the only thing we had to worry about was just being kids. Most of us didn't listen to this until years later, or really appreciate the lyrics until that magic was lost. A song written for an entire generation just a little too soon.
Being born in 93 I remember hearing this everywhere as a kid.
I'm born in 2003 and this song is still awesome today
Whenever I hear this song, I think of Cruel Intentions
Same here. This song and "stuck in the middle with you" from reservoir dogs instantly think of the movies
Same
Reese Witherspoon driving off in the convertible!
That's where I first heard it 💗. Great movie 😏
Whenever I hear it I will think about cerebellums...
You're one of the only reaction channels for music that actually pays attention to the lyrics on a first listen even without a lyric video. Much respect for getting into the lyrical side and I'd actually say you should tackle some bands with great writing and play the lyric video for your first listen. Something like Incubus (The Warmth, Nice to Know You, Idiot Box, Dig) or The Shins (So Says I, Caring is Creepy, New Slang) or Blues Traveler (Hook).
Love to see you watch lyric videos for some of those songs and see if they resonate for you. Keep up the great work man, love the videos!
Even through the controversy...this song was too true. No one could escape the reality of our futures. And we ALL knew this was it. Work, a hand-full of change, death.
“He might shoulder you and then you gotta get a new cerebellum.” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This song hits me right in the ol' teenage feels, lol
If you have chance listen to the verve, drugs don’t work. Classic man 👍
There's also the Verve Pipe and their song Freshman. 😎
❤
Great song!
Yes!
Another great 90's jam
OMG I forgot about that song!
He takes staying in his own lane to the extremes! He's bowling over anyone that's in his way.
That was a 90s thing.
@Gus Lulu yes. That is to say it was very common to not move and to simply as Mel said, stay in your lane. If you walk straight and can be seen from a distance you shouldn't have to, if someone zigs or zags in front of you it wasn't your place to dodge them. On a male on male situation it could and likely would be a sign of submissivness to move.
If you were alone and heading towards a group then moving would deffo be a sign of weakness and they would notice. It only really applied for those of that same mindset of course, you wouldn't walk into an old lady who was looking the other way blocking your path, that's what course correction is for.
It wasn't really the case any longer once we got into this century.
@@deanthorpe1684 I miss the thousands bros in the mosh pit
@@AClark-jx9zp I wasn't moaning until like 2000 (born 81) but yes my clubbing days were largely the alternative nights of course.
Those people should have known to get out of the way when the cameraman was backing towards them.
"I'm a million different people from one day to the next"
This song and oasis’ first two records are etched into British working class culture and I don’t think they’ll ever leave
The video for this song is his life. He is walking his path and there are obstacles in the way that he has to push through. Pretty girls, abusive relationships, old people that think they know better, tough guys that think they can scare him etc. He takes them all in his stride, which he never breaks, and he overcomes them and continues on his way.
This is a great tune and one of The Verve's best known but 'The drugs don't work' is better IMHO. It's about the lead singers struggles with substance abuse and the collapse of his relationships with everyone around him.
Knocking down an elderly woman or even bruising a younger one shows who he was. It's a production, but did you notice the tough guys laughed his goth punk ass off?
Bittersweet Symphony is probably their best known song - and awesome, however Sonnet and The Drugs Don't Work are to in my mind better songs. The Drugs Don'ts Work, no matter how many times I hear it, gives me goosebumps, it is beautiful.
The whole album URBAN HYMNS is a masterpiece. The drugs don't work is about Ashcrofts dad who had passed away due to cancer. That's why it is such a heart felt song
@@martinlewis6650 It's a classic case of don't judge a book by it's cover. Here don't judge a song by it's title. For ages I assumed it was about not using recreational drugs (which by the way is still a great message), but when I heard Ashcroft being interviewed and telling that story it became even more incredible. What a talent, to be able to turn a horrible moment in your life intern epic anthem that touches so many people.
@@matthewmccann4511 The Blair government wanted to use it for an anti-drugs campaign, and he told them to sod off...lol
Lucky man 👍
Agreed✌
Fun fact: the music sampled is from a Rolling Stones live concert album and they sued him for royalties. Until a year or two ago, they made all the money from this amazing song. It basically forced him into one hit wonder status. Everyone knew this song when it came out. During the peer to peer music downloading days this was one of the most pirated songs, and just about everyone on any network had a copy. What he's saying cuts deep into the social psyche.
Are you from the US mate? Cos they definitely don't have one hit wonder status here in UK.
Not only did Allen Klein take all the Verve's money for a tiny little sample (he's the lawyer who screwed Rolling Stones out of their rights, Beatles out of their rights...) but Klein sold it to Nike immediate. so anyone who didn't Napster the tune saw the Nike commercial.... I'm betting @Mr.Video knows it from the czcams.com/video/8FqKRN5FQgw/video.html commercial. Klein may have screwed a bunch of artists but he dead now proving A) you can't take it with you and B) rock n roll will never die
Your comment makes no sense.
Definitely not a live concert album. The opening strings are sampled from the 1965 Andrew Oldham Orchestra recording of the Rolling Stones' song "The Last Time", arranged and written by David Whitaker.
Stones didn't play on that version, it was a version played by an orchestra. And definitely not live.
And how does that make you a one hit wonder?
Wow didn't know that
Lots of British bands were one hit wonders in the States or didn't even chart. The Verve just had the one hit in the US.
He is in his own bubble, life around may affect him but he is in his mould, he can pretend to be okay, be norrmal,a million different people from one day to the next but hes always the same underneath.
hope you enjoyed the birthday celebrations :)
Lucky Man should be your next delve
Into the Verve..
One of my fav songs ever.
Drugs don't work -hits you right in the feels
I love it too. Makes me feel 21 again
Definitely check out Lucky Man
Crazy how you can listen to songs that will randomly have you in your feelings for no reason at all.
I've always loved this song. Slave to money then you die... Never more true words ever spoken. WORD!
Happy birthday 🎉 hope you had awesome day 🎁🎂
THIS IS A SONG THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD CAN RELATE TOO!!!! ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVS
One of my favorite songs ever!
This song is deep, I see it really got inside you. I love Verve. Talented rock band. I love the video. We walk through life, encounter many things, setbacks, mistakes, type of people and experiences but you got stay strong and keep moving forward and let no one hold you back.
Yay, welcome back. Hope your trip was AMAZING!!!
Those violins get me every time
Haven’t heard this in forever...thanks🖖🏻🇨🇦
Me too. Bringing back all those grade 10 memories.
React to ‘the drugs don’t work’ next from the Verve. Top band! Nice reaction!
😂😂😅😅 the Cerebellum is in the Brain not the Shoulder... LOL . You always making me laugh !!! Much Peace and Love....
🤣🤣🤣
But if the shoulder knocks you hard enough, your cerebellum may get damaged from the fall to the ground.
But the cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination soooo it kinda makes weird sense with him bumping into all the people lolol 🤣🤣
Mr V might have a cerebellum in his shoulder. Don't make him self conscious.....
I reckon he was thinking of the clavicle
Loads of respect for putting tunes from my teen years on. Brings good memories back. Recently found your channel and can’t stop watching. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated
Interesting fact, there's an alternate version of the video where he gets beat up by 3 people he bumps into and continues walking afterward.
Ah yes.. 90s Britpop at it’s finest, you should react to their song Lucky Man 👌
Such a great song, lots of feels from back in the day.
I just found your Chanel and I'm obsessed and will be binging!
Massive Britpop band... The album that this is taken from, "Urban Hymns," is just epic... not a track on there that you'd fast forward.
Bit of copyright controversy over this song... you can read up on that yourself. Also, there's an alternative version of this vid in which he bumps the wrong person and takes a kicking off three thugs!
This isn’t even the best song on that album
Not even close
This is classified as harmonic punk not britpop
@@jeffreyflynn9106 Classified?.. sounds very unlikely. Britpop was an era, not a genre.
@@jeffreyflynn9106 I've never heard of harmonic punk (sounds like a good definition of the Buzzcocks). This was britpop. No band of the era wanted to be called britpop but it was a catch all term and not meant as an insult. I knew a girl who was totally obsessed with the Verve in 1993 but didn't like the more popular stuff. All the Britpop should have been more widely publicised in the States but most of it just was'nt the right vibe for Americans at the time.
You're right Mr! That lady was walking up on him pretty hard 🤣🤣🤣
Yaaaay I hope you had a great Birthday weekend!👌♥️ Love this song!
What's up man I listened to this song every morning before school on mtv when it was just about music how you doin so glad to see man love the new merch man looks good on you but jimi looks better man every day I see him on your wall man keep smiling and have a great week dude man
Has your profile pic got anything to do why he aint given you a thumb up 🤔
I saw him perform this live a couple years ago. He was really nice and took a few minutes to talk to the audience after the show.
Have a great day Leo!! Your such an amazing soul! Much love 💘
Richard Ashcroft, 'song for the lovers' is a big must!
Cool shirt. Great reaction
Dope song.. Brings back memories type of shit
Thank you. I had heard this song, and remembered liking it, but I had no idea of the name of the group. It's the first time I'm seeing the video. Great reaction. You have great ears too. I couldn't make out all of the lyrics. I agree with some of the commenters. You have a wonderful capacity to listen and understand the emotion behind the lyrics. That's a gift. You're funny too. Another gift. Peace and blessings.
Thank you for sharing . I’m really proud of all the British musicians that are being well received in react videos but also I love to hear music from other countries that I might have missed .👍🏻🇬🇧
One of my favorites! The violins coming in at the beginning are so beautiful ♡
Am from UK England loved your reaction too the verve bittersweet sympathy this song was quite big hit over here in the 90s
the manc swagger I effin love the verve sooooo many great tunes and Richard ashcroft solo stuff ain't bad 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
not to be pedantic but hes from wigan
@@alanparker9898 swags still the same soz
@@lisamills4473 this is true
@@alanparker9898 my ex has the swagger but he's a but not from there but his dad and his brother and nephew have it maybe it's genetics 😂😂😂😂
I loved this song the very first time I heard it when it came out in the late 90s.
I watched this video on MTV or VH1, I can't remember which.
In the middle of the night, just chillin in my chair. .......... I've loved it ever since. Thanks for reacting to this song brother. I always enjoy your videos
Heard this on television alot in movies or commercials. Love it. The mv is very get tf out of my way. I always like stuff like that. The comments are very interesting also. This is prob the only channel where I read comments 🤣 anyway. As usual love watching you get in the groove 😉
Your doing my favorite 90's jams ...thank thank thank you!!!!!
Many people have *heard* this song, but few people have really *listened* to it. Thanks for being one of the few that have.
another great.. have an awesome day and congrats on the new shirt
I heard this song a lot and never saw the video (and never knew the backstory from the comments) until now. This time seeing the video made all the difference
Happy birthday Mr. Video!!!!
not sure if you were wiping tears at the end but this song always gets to me and Ive heard it 1000s of times over the years. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us:)
I just want to say that your videos always make me smile. I just love your personality. Lol Never change!
Awesome song, 😊love your new shirt!!! It's Brilliant❤
500 more subs & you did it!!
I'm SO EXCITED!! 🙂❤🙂
I'm still pushing for Foo Fighters
"The Pretender"!!🔥🔥🔥
YES!!!
This song can change your whole mood and outlook for the day.
Missed you !! Glad to see your back !!
Loved the video man! Big up that poster also 🏴🏴
Extremely cool song and video. This jam will forever more be on every collection of Hits from the 90s. Regardless of the controversy behind it's creation, this is a great jam. It hits and hits hard. Great reaction.
When this came out in the uk, every one was singing. Classic
Damn man. I ADORE your videos Mr. Video. You do movies mostly now, but I do miss you reacting to music. I know it might be impossible given how things get claimed and demonitized, but I love watching this. Thanks for just being awesome!
Love your reactions, shared your channel with my bro
"Lucky Man" is another good song by The Verve. Well, you've now heard Oasis and the Verve, two of the biggest bands from the British "Britpop" indie rock scene of the 1990s. Next you need to hear some by the other two big names of the era - Pulp and Blur. Pulp's "Common People" and Blur's "Parklife" would be good possibilities.
As the young people say this song is an entire mood. Definitely a good headphones song. Not as good at Bohemian Rhapsody, what is, but the strings are amazing and full in headphones.
awwwww, cheer up Mr Video the universal consciousness has you :)
Cruel intentions made me fall in love with this song. ❤ 1999 nostalgia
One of my favorite songs.
This song takes me back to high school and college nights, chain-smoking, playing pool, smoking joints in parking lots.
Please check out ‘Lucky man’ by the Verve and yes you got it right. This song was actually written for them by one of the members of the Rolling Stones.
We hoping a whole lot of people can change their mold. It’s for the good of everyone ❤️
Happy Birthday to ya man. You've got a great channel here.
great song. they had one AMAZING album. the song "lucky man" which was on the end of the song, another great one. i personally love their song "sonnet". oh and a similar video to this by "massive attack" with a song "unfinished sympathy", is also amazing.
Great song great shirt welcome back Mr V✌
I really love how you react to every detail not just about the song but the video itself 👍🤘 keep it up brother 👍🤘💚
You're almost at 100K!!! 😍😍✌❤🔥🎉
Happy Belated Birthday my friend....
I can’t stop watching your videos lol please don’t stop making reactions ❤️
What a beautiful melody ... just a beautiful song altogether
I double dog dare ya to listen to "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls or "Wonderwall" by Oasis or "Angel" by Sarah MacLachlan
BLACK BALLOON by the goo goo dolls is another ace track that if you've never heard then you need to.
Legend has it this is the video Luda was watching when he first said "Move, bitch! Get out the way!!"
😂😂😂
Great reaction to a video I hadn’t seen for a long time.
Also you did a particularly good “it’s different links” voice today. Don’t think these things go unnoticed 😂
Another banger from growing up. Love today’s choices.
I hope you do 'The Drugs Don't Work' one day. It gives me chills, and I can't stop crying at the cat part. 😭
it is more entertaining to see and listen to you than the video. Greetings from Chile, on the other side of the world
Yee! It's good to see back from celebrating😄
My man. Awesome as usual. Thank you.
I always thought this song was for men in their 20s trying to make their way in a difficult world and struggling to come to terms with their own weaknesses, like I was when I first heard it in 1997. It spoke to me directly and made me feel like I was not alone.
Judging by your reaction, it just spoke to you too.
Yes, finally!! Thank you!!!
So glad to see you! ❤️ Love the new shirt - believe I’m going to order one tonight 🤗
Don’t change your mold! Be yourself 😘
Great song! Try some INXS soon - “Need You Tonight”...”New Sensation”...”Suicide Blonde” 🎶🔥🎶🔥🎶
My wife uncle lived up the road from the lead singer. As he was a long time music lover after hearing this song recording sample encouraged than to get if discovered by record label, as he could see it being a big hit true story.
