 Not Ashcrofts best, but still excellent July 11, 2001
When I first heard this song, i was a little wary. It is a totally new direction from the fantastic Verve. However, since this is Ashcrofts first solo effort and it is understandable that he would wish to distance himself from his previous work.pIt did grow on me and is a classic song for all Ashcroft fans, like all his solo work it does lack a little bite probably due to the lack of McCabes guitar work. However it's very smooth, Ashcroft puts the 'smooo' in smooth.pOverall, i would say that this is not Ashcrofts best song, but still an excellent one.
 More Strings May 10, 2004
A Song For the Lovers was Richard Ashcrofts first single since splitting up one of the greatest 90s bands so "A Song for The Lovers" was highly anticipated.pIt continues where Urban Hymns left us but Nick McCabes brilliant guitar work is replaced by a huge string orchestra and smooth production. pThe song grabs your attention the moment it starts with a huge orchestral introduction but after that it just seems to pass by without really jumping up and demanding your attention. It's a pleasent enough song but it just doesn't have that extra edge or bite to really make it a great comeback single.pThe first B-Side Country Thing City Thing Blues Thing gives us an insight into what a song off The Verves debut album A Storm in Heaven would have sounded like with strings and production overload. pPrecious Stone has a bit of an edge to it, It was something the album "Alone With Everybody" needed. A bit of rawness to it and a bit of bite.pSo all in all ASFTL is a decent enough single but you can't help but feel a little dissapointed with it after the expectations The Verves final album left us with.
