"Gravity Grave" is a song by English rock band The Verve and was released as the band's third single in the United Kingdom on October 5, 1992 (see 1992 in British music).
An extended version of the song was played at the 1993 Glastonbury Festival and lasted over nine minutes. That performance was released on the No Come Down B-sides compilation in 1994. The full version of the song, which appeared on this single, was included as part of The Verve's 2004 Singles Compilation package This Is Music: The Singles 92-98. The edit version was only released as the lead track on the Verve EP.
Part of their "psychedelic era", this is another song with blurry visions and strong connections to drug taking, which the band, especially lead singer Richard Ashcroft, were more than apt to do. In fact, Ashcroft collapsed on stage at the 1994 Lollapalooza tour from taking too much ecstasy.
