All in the Mind (The Verve song)

"All in the Mind" is a song by English rock band The Verve and was released as the band's first single in the United Kingdom on 9 March 1992 (see 1992 in British music).

Inspiration for the song and chart performance

On its release, the song immediately topped the independent charts, as did their following two singles, "She's a Superstar" and "Gravity Grave". The song, however, made very little headway into the mainstream charts. Just like the early Verve performances, the music had huge psychedelic connections and references in the lyrics, such as "I was born to fly, fly, pretty high."
