From Riggs "Been listening all day and can't tell you how therapeutic it's been. I mean, listening to the station daily is therapy, but today has been another level. Our 18 yr-old daughter has been through so much the past few years - depression; bullying; in-patient care treatment; loss of a boyfriend from an OD - it's more than anyone her age, or really anyone at any age, should go through. Yet she inspires me daily because she keeps going throughout it all. Could you play The Verve's 'One Day' for our daughter, Georgia, because I know one day she will love again."

The Verve's best-known song, “Bitter Sweet Symphony,” famously samples an orchestral cover (Andrew Oldham Orchestra) of the Rolling Stones' 1965 song, “The Last Time." The Stones sampled The Staple Singers' "This May Be the Last Time." Watch the official video here: youtu.be

before they became internationally known, The Verve released this front-to-back excellent psychedelic album

From (The) Verve's 1993 debut album.

And of course we wound up with this classic song from The Verve. Featuring Richard Ashcroft on vocals, this samples the Andrew Oldham version of "The Last Time" by The Rolling Stones.

Hey, Richard Ashcroft sang on that last song AND is the lead singer of The Verve. Well howsabout them apples. -- “Bitter Sweet Symphony,” samples an orchestral cover (Andrew Oldham Orchestra) of the Rolling Stones' 1965 song “The Last Time." The Stones sampled The Staple Singers' "This May Be the Last Time." And THAT is how babies are made. #Science
