"Blue" was the first song by British band The Verve to be released from their first album, A Storm in Heaven. The song peaked at #69 in the charts.
The song has a minimalistic approach about it, with there being loops in the mysterious introduction, as well as reverse guitar parts, with the parts being played backwards giving a psychedelic sound. The song is another psychedelic rock piece, like many on the Storm in Heaven album.
The video shows the band down a dark alleyway in Islington, London. There was a separate video for the USA, which was filmed in Dublin.
