Into the brave new world
I hope I see you on the other side of this changing world
Baby when my ship pulls in
I try to believe in anyone look at the state I'm in

But for now I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs wishing I was able, stable
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)

Brother don't try to find
Don't try to believe in anyone for I would change your mind
Baby when my ship pulls in
I try to believe in anyone look at the state I'm in, I'm fine

But for now I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs wishing I was able, stable
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)
I hope I see you on the other side, I hope I see you on the other side
I hope I see you on the other side, I hope I see you on the other side
I hope I see you on the other side
But for now I'm just sitting at the table
Hearing songs wishing I was able, stable
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (brave new world)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (I hope I see you on the other side)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah (brave new world)

For any Verve fans that miss their grand heights (count me in that group), this album is as close as your going to get. It's quite strong overall and more varied than most Verve albums as Ashcroft takes on a few styles successfully. It kind of reminds me of what Neil Finn's "One All" represents in comparison to Crowded House's "Woodface" — they come from the same place, but they're different enough to take you in a different direction.

I haven't heard great things about Ashcroft's follow-up albums, and the sound snippets I've heard were OK, but not great. I think I'll stick with this one. Come to think of it, I need to pull it out and play it soon. Glad to hear that this is still on RP's playlist. 




Agree. first solo album (this one) is the strongest. The 2nd has a few good ones but quality dropped off after. Too bad the Verve reunion didn't last.

This song creates such a lush, mellow, sad vibe. That B minor chord ("but for now....") comes just at the right time to create the mood.

Great guitar bubbling just under the surface. And the tambourine in the chorus. Perfect!

Edit: Apparently Calexico didn't do anything for you... however, tracing back... The  Vines (Take Me Back) and Talking Heads (Psycho Killer) did.  So this is a hit or miss, as it occurs to you thing, as opposed to a project you have undertaken.  Somehow that's reassuring to me... actually something I could see myself doing on a lazy Saturday afternoon (lazy Sunday afternoon as I write this).  Cheers to you five months ago...

this album would have been much more widely accepted without comparisons to Urban Hymns..  I mean, not even another Verve album could live up to the enormous production of urban hymns..  speaking of which, anyone heard their new album yet?  The verve is back.. check them out..  definitely a few awesome songs on it.

I am still sad The Verve broke apart just at the time when I first discovered their music. This Amazon.com reviewer puts it in good perspective though -
Everybody and their mother will compare Alone With Everybody with Urban Hymns. Why waste your time and energy? Just buy Alone... and listen with fresh open ears. Alone.. sounds like a continuation of Urban Hymns but better. Alone.. sounds more focused. Ashcroft is playing most of the instruments on this album, or at least he's credited with doing so, so it obviously sounds a lot more focused coming from one point of view. As good as Urban Hymns was though, I got really sick of it after a while. There was an air of pretentiousness I think, surrounding the songs on that album. Don't get me wrong, I loved Urban Hymns. The album just dragged on and on for me. With Alone.., things flow a lot better. The album as a whole seems more humble and down to earth. And Ashcroft sounds like he really cares about how we listen to the songs. The production on the album is tremendous, the intense layering of sounds and vocals. The orchestral sounds, no doubt influenced by Ashcroft's Spiritualized wife, adds to the classic sounds of Alone.... When I say 'classic,' I mean Beatles classic. Here's a good way to look at it: the Verve's Urban Hymns was like the Beatles' Abbey Road. Ashcroft's Alone with Everybody is like Lennon's Imagine. From Amazon.com

Its very easy to pinpoint the songs on that disc written by Ashcroft and those written by McCabe (0r credited to The Verve) without having to look at the CD booklet. There are numerous highs on both of the Ashcroft solo CD's I have, but I don't listen to them nearly as much as I listen to my Verve discs.

This will never get old for me: Dead governor wins Missouri Senate seat Associated Press Last Updated: Nov. 8, 2000 Election 2000 St. Louis - Missourians elected a dead man to the Senate on Tuesday, choosing Gov. Mel Carnahan - who perished three weeks ago in a plane crash - over Republican incumbent John Ashcroft. Carnahan's widow had agreed to take her husband's place.

This is a good track from a great album- I'm surprised more songs from Alone didn't make the RP cut. "On A Beach" has some great vocal layering towards the end of it, and "Slow Was My Heart" stretch-meanders well.

Just to clarify the "Did Ashcroft Lose to a Dead Guy" debate... Yes, he did. When Carnahan died it was too late to change the ballot, so his name was going to appear on it. According to the Missouri Constitution, if a Senator is elected, but passes away before he is able to take office, the acting governor appoints someone to fill the seat until a special election can be held. Since Carnahan was also the Governor of Missouri at the time, the Lt. Governor, Roger Wilson, announced that, should Mel Carnahan win, he would appoint the late governor's wife, Jean Carnahan as the interim senator. The campaign continued with Jean Carnahan as the acting candidate. The point of this is though, that Mel Carnahan's name was on the ballot, and he won. So, John Ashcroft did, indeed, lose to a dead guy.

Bought this album used a few months ago. It's not bad, certainly not up to the standards that Ashcroft set for himself with the last couple of Verve albums. It's more of a hit or miss affair than those, especially "Urban Hymns." Still, not a bad disc at all.

Your a funny guy. Apparently you haven't watched fox news lately. Fact is there are far more sheeple on the right than on the left. We have micheal moore. You have fox news, abc, nbc (a GE subsidiary), the heritage foundation, and about a hundred other rigtht wing think tanks. Bottom line there is a lot more misinformation coming out of the right wing media, than the left wing media. Probably why 60 percent of republicants still believe in a saddham/al queda connection. Speaking of acrobat leaps in logic, are these the same kind of acrobatic leaps in logic that urge one to believe in trickle down theory? Im just glad ashcroft is gone, oh wait, he's probably gonna be replaced by the torture memo guy. Well so much for civil liberties. Oh yeah, the verve rocks. quote="CaptTofu wrote:

John Ashcroft DID NOT lose in Missouri to a dead guy. He lost to Jean Carnahan, the dead guy's wife, who won that VERY close race, after her husband died, having taken his place in the election, and won possibly due to the race being tipped in her favor due to the sympathy vote. But of course most of the sheeple and other Moore-ons won't care about the facts because it's much easier to be spoon-fed viewpoints and misrepresentations of the truth, and even acrobatic leaps in logic that coincide with their political views. https://www.bowlingfortruth.com https://www.moorewatch.com/

Apparentyly he DID lose to the dead guy. But even if she WAS voted in on election day, I think it pretty presumptuous to call it a sympthy vote, and assume that the people of Missouri didn't decide that an unknown was better than this tool.

Geesh Bill, You just gotta let your politics be known. I didn't donate to this site to be annoyed. I have political blogs for that. I just really want to hear music, which is why I donated. But while we're at it: So, about 'Ashcroft Losing to a dead guy' claim in F911 (which I saw a couple days ago) is a total omission of some pertinent facts, and is on face value not true. John Ashcroft DID NOT lose in Missouri to a dead guy. He lost to Jean Carnahan, the dead guy's wife, who won that VERY close race, after her husband died, having taken his place in the election, and won possibly due to the race being tipped in her favor due to the sympathy vote. But of course most of the sheeple and other Moore-ons won't care about the facts because it's much easier to be spoon-fed viewpoints and misrepresentations of the truth, and even acrobatic leaps in logic that coincide with their political views. https://www.bowlingfortruth.com https://www.moorewatch.com/

CNN would beg to disagree. https://www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/11/07/senate.missouri/ Jean Carnahan was appointed *after* Ashcroft lost that election. To a dead guy.
