I wanted to sing the songs of many bands and artists on Youtube, and choosing the next one to do was quite difficult considering the wide choices I had, but I chose a song from one of my favourite bands in the end. Mainly for one Album. The band was “The verve” and the song was “The drugs dont work”.
I heard that Richard Aschroft wrote this song about his mother’s battle with cancer. Which adds other dimensions to the song as far as emotional content is concerned.
I only really found out the meaning of this song a few years ago, but it’s one I’ve always liked singing. I always assumed it was about love, and not drugs.
So on to my version of this great song. You can see how I handled this song below:

There were other songs by the verve that I enjoyed singing. Much the same as several other bands I like really. With that in mind, it’s not really a shock to discover that I did more that one of their songs
