    "comment": "The Verve's third studio album Urban Hymns, released in 1997, is our album of the week!\n\nRecalling the writing process for Catching the Butterfly, lead guitarist Nick McCabe said: \"“It was one of those tunes that wrote itself, really. In the early days it was quite an open-ended, skeletal, almost kraut-rock kind of thing. Eventually we added tunes to it and it stacked up like a lasagna into this thing that is like a ’60s thing now but it wasn’t like that at all initially. It was quite an abstract piece and it was one of those things that happened really quickly – it took two sessions to get it into the shape that it was. But then learning how to play it live was less easy than that.\"\n\nThe Verve reflect on the legendary tour for Urban Hymns in this article here, featuring rare live footage of 'Catching The Butterfly' live: \nhttps://www.nme.com/news/music/verve-share-unearthed-live-footage-catching-butterfly-2139279",
