r/theverve

Been a fan for a couple of years now. I like every Verve album and lately I've been listening to the unreleased Urban Hymns tracks, one in particular.

I have what might be a hot take but... I think "Sweet and Sour" might be McCabe's masterpiece. That song is So. Damn. Good. I absolutely cannot believe they never released it or used it on Fourth.

Nick's guitar playing is so beautiful, poignant, and perfectly complements the bittersweet melancholy of Ashcroft's lyrics and voice that I legit almost cry every time I hear it. I don't know, it might just be because of where I'm at in my life right now but this song hits me hard. I think it's legitimately up there with their best songs.

Curious what others on here think about it

Im listening to A storm in heaven because I stumbled upon Star Sails & South Pacific, so far im absolutely loving it, ive been looking for music like this for a while, its really similar to cocteau twins, are the other albums similar or is this an ode one out?
