"On Your Own" is a song by British rock band The Verve, and is featured on their second album, A Northern Soul. It was released 12 June 1995 as the second single from the album charting at #28 in the UK Singles Chart (see 1995 in British music). The song appears to be based on the work of The Smiths, using some of their techniques, such as adding major sevenths - and even features a lyric close to the one in How Soon Is Now?:
"You come in on your own and you leave on your own"
This Verve lyric can find easy comparisons with:
"and you stand on your own and you leave on your own".
Lead singer Richard Ashcroft also recorded an acoustic version of On Your Own that contained only piano and acoustic guitar, in addition to Ashcroft's vocals. The vinyl version is green and has a misprint on the b-side. The song is listed as "I See The Door", but is labeled as Daryll-Ann "Friends".
On Your Own is a song by Blur. It was released as a single on 16 June 1997, and can also be found on the album Blur. It charted at #5 on the UK singles chart (see 1997 in British music). The song is notable for its use of a Roland 606 drum machine, Dave Rowntree also fiddles with one in the promo video.
