"Blue" was the first single 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 loops in the mysterious introduction and reverse guitar parts that give it a psychedelic sound, 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.
