Verve may refer to:
The Verve were an English rock band formed in Wigan in 1990 by lead vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bass guitarist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. The guitarist and keyboard player Simon Tong became a member at a later date.
Beginning with a psychedelic sound, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and three albums. It also endured name and line-up changes, break-ups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band's commercial breakthrough was the 1997 album Urban Hymns, one of the best-selling albums in UK Chart history. The album features the hit singles "Bitter Sweet Symphony", "The Drugs Don't Work" and "Lucky Man". In 1998, the band won two Brit Awards—winning Best British Group, appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in March, and in February 1999, "Bitter Sweet Symphony" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
Soon after their commercial peak, The Verve broke up in April 1999, citing internal conflicts. According to Billboard magazine, "the group's rise was the culmination of a long, arduous journey that began at the dawn of the decade and went on to encompass a major breakup, multiple lawsuits, and an extensive diet of narcotics". During an eight-year split, Ashcroft dismissed talk of a reunion, saying: "You're more likely to get all four Beatles on stage." The band's original line-up reunited in June 2007, embarking on a tour later that year and releasing the album Forth in August 2008, which spawned the hit single "Love Is Noise". Amid revived tensions, the band broke up for the second time in 2009.
The Drugs were a five-piece Australian alternative rock band from Sydney. Formed by Ian Baddley in 1999, they released their first single, "Pop Song", in 2000. Their debut album, Music's in Trouble, was released in 2002. Their second album, The Very Next Of, was released in 2004.
They disbanded in 2005, but reunited in 2008 for a national tour before disbanding again in 2009. A documentary about the band, Masking Agents, has been made and was released in November 2011.
They appear as guest vocalists on Jewish punk rock band Yidcore's album Fiddlin on Ya Roof.
Their back catalogue, except for The Very Next Of and "Burger King", was released in 2006 on iTunes.
Their members' names are pseudonyms as revealed in the documentary Masking Agents.
The Drugs formed in 1999. Their first single, "Pop Song", was released in 2000, closely followed by the EP The Only Way is Up. In 2002, The Drugs won an ARIA for The Only Way is Up and recorded two singles, "Metal vs. Hip Hop" and "The Bold and the Beautiful"; the latter was performed on Rove Live with a The Bold and the Beautiful cast member Ronn Moss pretending to play the bass guitar. Their debut album, Music's in Trouble, was released in October to positive acclaim. The album consists of the two singles, 10 new tracks, two bonus tracks from the Only Way is Up EP and four filler tracks. The third single, "Burger King", was released for free online.
A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys are marketing campaigns for food and other products. Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip". Since the creation and increased popularity of YouTube, mainstream artists now promote new music videos by releasing trailers of short promos on the site for their upcoming song and music video. Consequentially, YouTube has been converted into a social media platform for celebrities and artists to market themselves to their fans and audiences.

The Verve - The Drugs Don' t Work (Live) E da allora..Sono come un vento senza voce alla ricerca di silenzio… G. Lucini RicordandoVi..dentro quelle notti per cui albe non vi furono...~💖~Anastasia💎 Ora tu pensa: un pianoforte. I tasti iniziano. I tasti finiscono. Tu sai che sono 88, su questo nessuno può fregarti. Non sono infiniti, loro. Tu sei infinito, e dentro quei tasti, infinita è la musica che puoi suonare. Loro sono 88, tu sei infinito. Questo a me piace. Questo lo si può vivere. Ma se tu, ma se io salgo su quella scaletta, e davanti a me si srotola una tastiera di milioni di tasti, milioni e miliardi di tasti, che non finiscono mai, e questa è la verita', che non finiscono mai e quella tastiera è infinita... Se quella tastiera è infinita, allora su quella tastiera non c'è music...

The Verve - On Your Own (1995). Track 3 from A Northern Soul Tell me what you've seen Was it a dream? Was I in it? Life seems so obscene until it's over Who knows All I want is someone who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you wanna know? You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've known And your friends on the road Tell me if it's true That I need you, you are changing I've seen this world before down on this floor It is hurting me All I want is someone who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you wanna know? You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've known And your friends on the road You come in on your own...
Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday?
Another Friday night waiting for a revelation
I can see a million faces in the condensation
Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday?
Hey my friend you better leave now
I'm gonna go my own way
You said I suffer from inner frustration
In a moment you changed
Now things weren't the same
You were talking at me not with me
And your tongue was burning up in flames
Are you coming back?
Are you coming back?
When Monday comes you'll be alone
With the whole world staring at you
