This was always playing on the radio when I met my beautiful American girlfriend in Indiana. Out driving in America together in her convertible Mustang, singing this at the top of our voices smokin som 'erb (not whilst driving!) and loving life. This was our song! 1 month before we were due to get married she was killed in a car crash near Chicago. Every time I hear this I remember her and the times we had and shed a tear for my 'Mustang Lady'. I miss you Beth love you forever baby. “If heaven calls - I'm coming too, just like you said - if you leave my life I,m better off dead”......yes.......😭😩

My #1 song of all time,and a great performance by The Verve.

The hottest and talented guy ever seen, after Freddie. Sadly I am too young to go to one of their performances. Lots of love from Rome.

Fucking totally, entirely, wholly, thoroughly, fully, utterly, absolutely, perfectly, unreservedly, unconditionally, altogether, downright genius

I saw the whole set but he sings this one with such conviction. Great performance

The best performance of what is imo the best song of all time . Incredible

Had the oppotunity to watch his performance a couple of weeks ago in Mexico, he's just amazing, beautiful voice.
