i remember listening to this song when i was in a dead job, getting paid weak money and going absolutely nowhere in life. This song got me through some rough times and helped me realise that life does suck, but only if you let it suck. I was listening to this song everyday and each time I heard it I'd cry a little bit inside. Nothing has made me feel the way I did when I heard the words "I need to hear the sounds that recognise the pain in me", it's a true masterpiece. Thank you Richard Ashcroft
The greatest "feeling" is to know that God loves you and that you can spend eternal life with God. I am sixty six and done it all. It is never enough. Jesus Christ is the ONLY thing that truly brings REAL contentment. God bless, Michael
I love the way this guy looks (he doesn't look like your typical, pretty boy frontman). This guy has unique features that go with the emotion of the song. One of the best "pop" songs of the 90's.
@@Vitor20XX you can not help if you are decent looking but I get the point of the top of comment section about looks... Big deal how a person looks anyway.. Maybe it's just me.. IDK

Lyrics- 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places Where all the veins meet, yeah [Chorus] No change, I can change I can change, I can change But I'm here in my mould I am here in my mould But I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mould No, no, no, no, no, no, no (Have you ever been down?) [Verse 2] Well I've never prayed, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now [Chorus] No change, I can change I can change, I can change But I'm here in my mould I am here in my mould And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mould No, no, no, no, no Have you ever been down? I can't change it you know, I can't change it
Just the other day, one of my co-workers randomly put this song on loud speakers on the middle of the shift, and suddenly everybody on the room went silent to just sing along as we did our job, the guys from other departments passing by also started to hum/whistle the tune as they went on their way. Even when the bosses heard the song playing loudly, they didn't say a word about it, they just let it happen. Honestly, that is one of the magical moments I will never forget in my life
I hope you can help preserve those memories and share them. This world looks like it's going to get pretty grim, and remembering the good times will be a boon.
@@huskysharky9025 actually no, society is going to shit and it's only getting worse. A few months ago, i heard a 94 year old WW2 vet ask, is THIS the country I fought for? It was sad to hear him ask that. it was his dad that asked that, rather, now that I remember as we were talking.
@@TheAlmightyClipse : Not a lot has changed along Hoxton Street since 1997.They blurred out some of the buildings in the background. You would have a few more skyscrapers today with 22 Bishopsgate and a few others behind them in some of the shots of the video. But the Street is the same Today even the Chicken place is still there.
This song will be played at my funeral. Period. A true masterpiece and a spot on lyrical representation of the internal struggle most people go through life feeling. Being a slave to money is all you know til the day you die, and from one day to the next you can become someone completely different as life changes you. And wether it's your first time praying or your millionth time, you just need need to understand and conquer the pain that comes from within and change yet again. I cannot say this enough, truly a beautiful masterpiece
@@last7509 I'm not sure what your getting at exactly.Like, rap music is easily distinguishable from other genres? So I would know if they were playing it.
Mostly everything was created in the 90's. It was a privilege being a teenager during that time. I avoided bands like Oasis and Verve as I considered them 'mainstream pop', preferring to listen to 80's rock. But looking back, I think I missed out on my own generation, although I was only 15 when this song got released. Means a lot more to me now. I'm so proud to be British.
@JasonRose-h7j in about the same age as you. I loved bands from the 60s, 70s and 80s but always made sure to love performers such as Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Kate Bush and The Verve. Great times.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve and HIGH & DRY by Radiohead in tribute to 2 of the most iconic 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
It's a shame they never got anything including royalties from this song, it is an amazing song. Yet this song is ironic to the core, the band even got screwed over from their rights to their own song
I'm at a point in life where I feel exactly like him in the video , the world is crazy,superficial connections, nothing's real.. walking through it all while trying to keep hope in the midst of all this insanity people created.. recognizing pain and beauty of life at the same time.. I grew up with this song but I guess the real meaning has been revealed to me only now. This song is timeless.
I never viewed the video like that. The world is flooding towards him and he's barging through it to carry on walking. Just like life, there's not much of a pause. Thank you
Exactly the same for me, after all these years listening to it, the real meaning hit me with goosebumps. I've been questioning a lot of things recently and this song reflect some of those thoughts.
The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" is an evocative journey through life's complexities, with its haunting melody and profound lyrics. It captures the essence of struggle and redemption, wrapping you in a symphony of emotions that linger long after the last note fades. Truly an unforgettable anthem. 🌟🎶
This song.... played on repeat when my marriage ended in 1997. We were just 26, 2 baby girls & a broken family & heart....so painful. Yet I find with every life change, even now, this is the song I find to play. I cry, feel justified & accept that yes, I can change. Imo, this is one of the best Gen X songs as it’s so relatable in a million ways.
I am 26, one kid, and a completely broken marriage. Yesterday me and my "Wife" if I can still call her that made our minds up that maybe it's for the best we just called it quits. Then today in the morning on the way to work this song plays. The funny thing is that the lyrics almost read my life. I unfortunately have been through life changing experiences at a young age and therefor suffer from extensive bipolarism. I can be mellow one minute, and the next I can loose my shit. It seriously depends on what's said to me or how its said. It hurts knowing that my daughter may be raised with separated parents. But man, this song was like spot on for me. Almost made me feel like I am not the only person out there.
I'm 58 years young and I'm not afraid ,don't care what may be said about me,but this song brings a river of tears to my eyes every time I hear it.so beautiful just mellow!!!
My Dad loved this song so much, and now as I get older, Im starting to like it too, its been 13 years since my dad passed away, and everytime I hear this song, it all comes back, tears, memories, good times with my dad, this will always be reminder to the greatest man I've ever known. Dad
Energy does not die it only changes form, the spirit that your father is, his essence, what animated his body here on earth is now untethered, free. Where your dad is, I do no know but the spirit he is sure is not dead and one day your spirit when it leaves this frequency will communicate with him. That is not wishful thinking, it is critical thinking. The physicists, scientists and mathematicians that developed quantum physics, relativity, chaos theory, Bohr, Einstein, Planck were all men who believed in a God of sorts and who concluded that some sort of mind, entity, intelligence created the physical. We are spirits having a human experience, you are more than your body. Have a great life knowing that there is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more after this earth part of the journey. Do the things that make you happy.
1997 I woke up at 4am and turned the TV on to watch MTV and it was the first time I saw it and it was amazing and still one of my favorite songs. I saw the Verve reunion at the O2, London in 2007 and it was a great closer.
Writing in the comment section of this particular song not just because it is a masterpiece, but also to make a statement that much more people will eventually read: For all of you, just know that The Verve are not even closely matched by any other band in terms of quality songs for this short time. Best band ever!
it's crazy that the Verve created one of the biggest global hits of the 1990s and didn't make any money off it... I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY and HIGH & DRY by Radiohead on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest 90s bands.

@@MrJUANNCHO He originally lost the lawsuit with the record company in the 80s, but in 2019, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards gave Richard all future royalties from this song.
This song is honestly just about life. And just proving that we are just nothing, working slaves to survive till we die. Song is a real eye opener with so many meaning

@@willritter4076 Man, you have some great covers in your channel. Good work on Radiohead and The Verve. But the one that captured me most was George Michael's "Mother's Pride". I'm a huge GM fan and this is one of his most underrated songs. Well done. You got yourself a subscriber.
This is a song of pure genius. It's personal. It reflects the human soul. I loved how he's walking down the street, it's subtle and powerful, everyone walking towards his direction don't change their stance, so he bumps em out of the way, then they get mad, lol, so He's supposed to get out of theirs. Human beings pretty much suck these days.
my thoughts exactly! I'm inspired by his single-minded determination and NOT allowing others to dictate to him. Genius and Bravery all rolled into one brilliant video.
the walking down the street is a metaphor for ones life and the people he bumps into are the lives he touches throughout his journey. hes essentually alone until hes joined by his mates walking along the same path.
I rewatched the video a couple of times and it seems like he only bumped into people who were standing in his way. He actually avoided a lot of people who passed him on his right.
@@nanevak Take note of the old woman at the 0:39 to 0:40 point that deliberately sticks her right elbow out, as if to elbow him in the ribs. Most people are real scum bags.
The British melodies are so unique and nostalgic for some reason… the rock scene of 90’s and 2000’s were just something else, listening to them would just move you to a different happier feeling.. just thinking that it would never come back makes me sad... I am a happy individual to have lived through it ❤️
we are a nostalgic generation andd and the music from then reminds us of a diff memory.ive got tix for liam gallagher next month. xx im 44 but th3e fanbase is 20 year olds . luv the madchester lol x
This was my sister's favorite song. January 17th will mark the 7th year since she passed. My niece played this at her wedding after she was remembered at the reception. I cried like a baby!
@@emilyboyle74 I don't know what happened but I hope you're okay now ☺️ I understand you.. I got between life and death in 2018 and this song helped me get my hopes up. I hope you can hear this song and feel like you did it, you're doing well and I'm glad you're here ❤️
Some music are time tested, still fresh in 2024 and I can't believe i was 10 years old when i first heard this song. All these years still magical if i may say. Enjoy everyone stay blessed wherever you are from, takecare.
It's not just about the perfect sound it's also the video music , you listening while you focus on every detail from the beginning to the end 1997 - 2021 , shout out to every person who loves this Masterpiece ...
This is one of the very few songs that my orchestra class in high school would actually pull together for and try their best, which I was grateful for because I love this song so much and it's so fun to play on the violin

I remember the words of the presenter on MTV's Hitlist UK, back in 1997: "It is a dark and haunting song". And she was right. Twenty-one years later, this timeless song is still in my head, every day.

@@stochasticdifferentialeq.1393 No, it's not. The song was released on June 16, 1997. It is actually 21 and a half years ago. And that's not the point, anyway. Also, learn some manners.
I honestly think they isn't a day that goes by where someone isn't playing this timeless classic. It brings back so many happy memories, it also makes me cry because they were truly my last happy days too. I'd do anything to relive them days all over again. Time is precious, but memories are even more precious
There are times when I get completely overwhelmed. On some of those occasions, I turn this song on and crank it in my earbuds. There is something incredibly soothing about the strings and the cadence. It helps me to re-center and ground myself. In short...this song has saved me numerous times and it will never not be a favorite. ❤️
A perfect blending of modern popular music with the timeless classical instruments..! Pure musical Genius...! This composition will continue long after our age..!
This song will always remind me of my friend Matt McCallister. He died in a house fire in our senior year of college. He had been a college radio DJ. At the memorial service, our friends played snippets of him from his radio bits. Toward the end, his voice faded out and this song faded in. I just lost it. After 23 years, this song still is a reminder.
This song was the first song I heard when one of my very good friends passed away when I was 18 years old,the song holds a special place in my heart! RIP Stevie Yam.🙏🏾💙
You guys might be taking Luke Munro’s comment and the lyrics out of context? Slave to the money then you die, I believe, means we all have to earn money to meet even our basic needs...no money means no food, no shelter, etc., you work your whole life to earn cause you have no choice therefore the slave part....and the, then you die part, is you gotta do it your whole life! Now the part you have control over is how hard or long are you willing to work for stuff you dont actually need...you know, the toys...the hot car, big house, etc., the older you get or the poorer you are, the more apparent this becomes. So, yes Luke Munro , I agree very true words! A sadder sentiment is those who actually believe, he with the most toys wins....you can’t take it with you when you die baby! Either way this is a great song!💜

Such an incredible song. I was 13 when this masterpiece came out. Every time I hear this song, makes me miss the 90's even more. What a fantastic time it was to grow up.
Im sitting in my car crying happy tears listening to this song on replay. Im celebrating 3 years sober from opiates. I ise to listen to yhis song and pray i can shake that habit and here i am... I made it... Im proud of myself, i became a better woman and mom.

Agree it's a little down beat but has memories attached including Football world cup events although that didn't go to plan. I expect the verve find it more sad as they didnt make a dime as the rolling stones manager claimed all the royalty fees... anyway happy new year...
Mmm great song but a pessimistic concept. It makes out the world is just some pit of despair. The world is also full of amazing progress and experience
When I was a kid and happened to stumble upon this music video on MTV I felt confused about it and didn't like it to be honest. But now I realize how it is right on point of our lives.
@@incognito96 they used one more note than agreed. I’ve hated The Rolling Stones ever since. All the money they have they couldn’t give this band a pass. It’s a shame what money does to people. That’s the reason this band broke up
@@PAC. The Rolling Stones returned 100% of royalties for the song to The Verve in 2019. And publishing rights forever. They relinquished even their own rightful share, probably as a goodwill gesture, apology, etc. "Mick Jagger and Keith Richards signed over all their publishing for 'Bitter Sweet Symphony,' which was a truly kind and magnanimous thing for them to do." - Richard Ashcroft of the Verve via NPR Music - 2019. You have to consider that the suit was filed by one of the Stones' lawyers and a former manager, Allen Klein, who is a scumbag and who benefited greatly financially. The band members don't always know what goes on behind the scenes. I remember hearing Richards found out about it, and initiated the process of rectifying the situation

Figured if I kept scrolling down I'd find the 500th person that has typed the lyrics to the song. We KNOW them... and if not, we could read the FIRST person that typed them. Besides, the song came out probably before you were born, so I'm sure a lot of us know the lyrics already.
I saw him in Brazil. He bumped into me a few minutes ago, he's still walking and ain't changed yet. My shoulder still hurts. But i'm still here in my mold.
I saw a publix commercial with this song today. It opened a floodgate of memories from my middle and high school years. This song is one of the ones I can hear over and over again. It's definitely a masterpiece.

Believe it or not, I’m 57 and just found this song.
Absolute wow!
Never too old to like pure class.
Welcome 🤗
I also. Though 59.
No entiendo el inglés pero quedó como un música pop alternativa clásica
51 and just found it last week via some guy in a comment section about bad roommates. He said his roommate played this on repeat nonstop🤣
Indeed!
i remember listening to this song when i was in a dead job, getting paid weak money and going absolutely nowhere in life. This song got me through some rough times and helped me realise that life does suck, but only if you let it suck. I was listening to this song everyday and each time I heard it I'd cry a little bit inside. Nothing has made me feel the way I did when I heard the words "I need to hear the sounds that recognise the pain in me", it's a true masterpiece. Thank you Richard Ashcroft
yes brotha i totally feel you and that line and a few others bear the most important meanings to me as well
The greatest "feeling" is to know that God loves you and that you can spend eternal life with God. I am sixty six and done it all. It is never enough. Jesus Christ is the ONLY thing that truly brings REAL contentment.
God bless, Michael
@@Goodkidjr43 Go tell that to Buddha
I after 15 years of feeling what you wrote, being in that place, I envy you.
I've tried so hard to change, I just don't have enough
@@Goodkidjr43 I never met that guy called Jesus...they say he is quite shy
I love the way this guy looks (he doesn't look like your typical, pretty boy frontman). This guy has unique features that go with the emotion of the song. One of the best "pop" songs of the 90's.
Gorgeous! A Picasso painting! Unique!
He looks like a dude that like some 80s rock haha, cool style.
@@Vitor20XX you can not help if you are decent looking but I get the point of the top of comment section about looks... Big deal how a person looks anyway..
Maybe it's just me.. IDK
I love the man but this "unique" look stems from his drug abuse.
drugs, man. Drugs...
I'm African, I'm here because of that beatiful violin, we call it Orutu in my Language..What a master piece that cuts across different culture..just beatiful!
I am 57 years old, I hope to live longer to hear more, I LOVE this song!
John Klamp i am 14 and found out this song a month ago. Its now my favourite song
Amethyst Legend I’m 18 and this song was played by my parents when I was little beings back memories to junior high too
Wow. 57 years. I don’t know anyone who has spent that long on this planet or whatever. I’m impressed
Wow. 14 years? Consecutive years? I don’t know anyone that old
I will be toothless and still jam!!
Lyrics-
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the veins meet, yeah
[Chorus]
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould
I am here in my mould
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)
[Verse 2]
Well I've never prayed, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
[Chorus]
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould
I am here in my mould
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No, no, no, no, no
Have you ever been down?
I can't change it you know, I can't change it
thanks 👍👍👍
God bless you.
Isn't it a masterpiece because as the guy sings, he has never prayed but now he does and this melody came from Heaven to clear his mind, set him free

This is one of those rare songs that never gets old and it stays in your memory forever. Simply a masterpiece
You should listen to the song titled standing outside a phone booth with change in my pockets. It's an oldie but a goody.

I think I've listened to it a thousand times and it just doesn't get old. A thousand might be a stretch but hundreds would be slightly conservative.
Exactly it just popped back in my head LMAO....
@@big925chilli6 how
Just the other day, one of my co-workers randomly put this song on loud speakers on the middle of the shift, and suddenly everybody on the room went silent to just sing along as we did our job, the guys from other departments passing by also started to hum/whistle the tune as they went on their way. Even when the bosses heard the song playing loudly, they didn't say a word about it, they just let it happen. Honestly, that is one of the magical moments I will never forget in my life
Yep! This song / video transcends normal life
@@Ryujihh I can feel it
Those of us who grew up in the 90s knows exactly how lucky we were, what a time to be alive.
I hope you can help preserve those memories and share them. This world looks like it's going to get pretty grim, and remembering the good times will be a boon.
Yeah, but not as lucky as those of us who grew up in the 80s 😉

@@huskysharky9025 actually no, society is going to shit and it's only getting worse. A few months ago, i heard a 94 year old WW2 vet ask, is THIS the country I fought for? It was sad to hear him ask that. it was his dad that asked that, rather, now that I remember as we were talking.
One of the most iconic music videos of the 90s.
He bumped his way there
On he's way to a billion views. Walking down Hoxton Street East London proceeding north along the East side of Hoxton Street towards Hoxton Gardens.
I'm from Australia, and I'm curious to know how different it looks now compared to 1997??
@@TheAlmightyClipse : Not a lot has changed along Hoxton Street since 1997.They blurred out some of the buildings in the background. You would have a few more skyscrapers today with 22 Bishopsgate and a few others behind them in some of the shots of the video. But the Street is the same Today even the Chicken place is still there.
top 10 for sure. army of lovers justified tops it imo
This song will be played at my funeral. Period. A true masterpiece and a spot on lyrical representation of the internal struggle most people go through life feeling. Being a slave to money is all you know til the day you die, and from one day to the next you can become someone completely different as life changes you. And wether it's your first time praying or your millionth time, you just need need to understand and conquer the pain that comes from within and change yet again. I cannot say this enough, truly a beautiful masterpiece
If they played rap music instead how would you know?
@@last7509 I'm not sure what your getting at exactly.Like, rap music is easily distinguishable from other genres? So I would know if they were playing it.
@@lanesfakis5873 no you wouldn't because you'd be dead. Simple
my mum absolutly loves this song and wants the same thing for her funeral
Oh wow, that piece of yours is profound and yes, this man singing is a master, one of, if not the best song ever !!
The 90's wasn't a decade, it was an emotion. The iconic voices of many 90s singers are just... unforgettable.
Mostly everything was created in the 90's. It was a privilege being a teenager during that time. I avoided bands like Oasis and Verve as I considered them 'mainstream pop', preferring to listen to 80's rock. But looking back, I think I missed out on my own generation, although I was only 15 when this song got released. Means a lot more to me now. I'm so proud to be British.
They said it was the end of history. The internet would bring in something new, but we’ve still yet to figure out what that is
@JasonRose-h7j in about the same age as you. I loved bands from the 60s, 70s and 80s but always made sure to love performers such as Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Kate Bush and The Verve. Great times.
Celebrating 1 Billion, and this masterpiece surely deserves it. There never has been a more accurate depiction of life in music than this.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve and HIGH & DRY by Radiohead in tribute to 2 of the most iconic 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
It's a shame they never got anything including royalties from this song, it is an amazing song. Yet this song is ironic to the core, the band even got screwed over from their rights to their own song
@@Akum4Kam15ama: 2019 Richard Ashcroft was credited for the songwriting and royalties for the song Bittersweet Symphony.
It's a shame they didn't get paid for this masterpiece but rather the tolling stones.
they (amicably) settled the royalties thing a few years back. Stones $ now flowing.@@Murilo.Rassen
I'm at a point in life where I feel exactly like him in the video , the world is crazy,superficial connections, nothing's real.. walking through it all while trying to keep hope in the midst of all this insanity people created.. recognizing pain and beauty of life at the same time.. I grew up with this song but I guess the real meaning has been revealed to me only now. This song is timeless.
I like how he walks as though people around him don't even exist in his life.
I love this and I have heard this hundreds of times never get bored
I never viewed the video like that. The world is flooding towards him and he's barging through it to carry on walking. Just like life, there's not much of a pause. Thank you
Exactly the same for me, after all these years listening to it, the real meaning hit me with goosebumps. I've been questioning a lot of things recently and this song reflect some of those thoughts.
Timeless indeed.
How can a song be so depressing yet still manage to inspire you!? It really makes you reflect on life.

hence bittersweet symphony as the title indicates 🤷🏽♀️
right!...bring it home!
using major chords
And what’s the meaning of the song? Or the message?
The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" is an evocative journey through life's complexities, with its haunting melody and profound lyrics. It captures the essence of struggle and redemption, wrapping you in a symphony of emotions that linger long after the last note fades. Truly an unforgettable anthem. 🌟🎶
I was 20, I’m 47. Still the same feeling. That’s called great music.
Always remember the 1997 election when new Labour got in by landslide after 18 years of tories in power
Time flies brother. Greetings from Russia 🇷🇺
I'm 50, but the same.
try listening to ren's cover
I'm 48 and indeed still the same feeling with this great song that I had when it came out. Timeless.
This song.... played on repeat when my marriage ended in 1997. We were just 26, 2 baby girls & a broken family & heart....so painful. Yet I find with every life change, even now, this is the song I find to play. I cry, feel justified & accept that yes, I can change.
Imo, this is one of the best Gen X songs as it’s so relatable in a million ways.
Music can make you remember you emotion of the moment so well which can be a good thing and of course a bad thing. I wish you well in 2021 Crystaline
life hits hard...but keep your head high girl and never give up..god bless
I am 26, one kid, and a completely broken marriage. Yesterday me and my "Wife" if I can still call her that made our minds up that maybe it's for the best we just called it quits.
Then today in the morning on the way to work this song plays. The funny thing is that the lyrics almost read my life. I unfortunately have been through life changing experiences at a young age and therefor suffer from extensive bipolarism. I can be mellow one minute, and the next I can loose my shit. It seriously depends on what's said to me or how its said.
It hurts knowing that my daughter may be raised with separated parents.
But man, this song was like spot on for me. Almost made me feel like I am not the only person out there.
@@quinto4547 Wishing you a better time ahead.
@@quinto4547 You definitely are not the only one out there. Connecting with people has got harder since the smartphone that's for sure.

My Dad loved this song so much, and now as I get older, Im starting to like it too, its been 13 years since my dad passed away, and everytime I hear this song, it all comes back, tears, memories, good times with my dad, this will always be reminder to the greatest man I've ever known. Dad
Energy does not die it only changes form, the spirit that your father is, his essence, what animated his body here on earth is now untethered, free. Where your dad is, I do no know but the spirit he is sure is not dead and one day your spirit when it leaves this frequency will communicate with him. That is not wishful thinking, it is critical thinking. The physicists, scientists and mathematicians that developed quantum physics, relativity, chaos theory, Bohr, Einstein, Planck were all men who believed in a God of sorts and who concluded that some sort of mind, entity, intelligence created the physical. We are spirits having a human experience, you are more than your body. Have a great life knowing that there is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more after this earth part of the journey. Do the things that make you happy.

1997 I woke up at 4am and turned the TV on to watch MTV and it was the first time I saw it and it was amazing and still one of my favorite songs. I saw the Verve reunion at the O2, London in 2007 and it was a great closer.
I was in London that day

The strings in this song are iconic. A truly beautiful composition. They don't make them like this any longer.
Yea and those strings you like so much were stolen, the band got sued for doing that.
@@ClickClack_Bam it wasn't stolen, they took copyright but it didn't end well because of Allen Klein.
Yes I knew they sounded familiar. But I was mesmerized. Fault me.
Very hypnotic they are. Yoda too would like them. hmmmm.

Writing in the comment section of this particular song not just because it is a masterpiece, but also to make a statement that much more people will eventually read:
For all of you, just know that The Verve are not even closely matched by any other band in terms of quality songs for this short time.
Best band ever!
This could be one of the top 3 songs that represents that 90s sound best.

It reflects the human soul.
I loved how he's walking down the street, it's subtle and powerful, everyone walking towards his direction don't change their stance, so he bumps em out of the way, then they get mad, lol, so He's supposed to get out of theirs.
Human beings pretty much suck these days.
my thoughts exactly!
I'm inspired by his single-minded determination and NOT allowing others to dictate to him.
Genius and Bravery all rolled into one brilliant video.
Always have been….
the walking down the street is a metaphor for ones life and the people he bumps into are the lives he touches throughout his journey. hes essentually alone until hes joined by his mates walking along the same path.
I rewatched the video a couple of times and it seems like he only bumped into people who were standing in his way. He actually avoided a lot of people who passed him on his right.
@@nanevak Take note of the old woman at the 0:39 to 0:40 point that deliberately sticks her right elbow out, as if to elbow him in the ribs. Most people are real scum bags.
The British melodies are so unique and nostalgic for some reason… the rock scene of 90’s and 2000’s were just something else, listening to them would just move you to a different happier feeling.. just thinking that it would never come back makes me sad... I am a happy individual to have lived through it ❤️
나역시 그런 생각을 한다.
I think so you
British music in general. American music is pretty shit for music.
copyright infringement from led zeppelin, do some research, in other words the verve ripped it off, but i dont agree with courts

found this song sometime in middle school back in the early 2000's, here i am 33 years old still jamming this song. A true example of timeless art.
The older I get, the more emotional this song makes me. It’s not just a pretty song with a nice beat anymore like it was when I was a child.
This is such an impressive song, hard to find the right words to describe it.

This is one of the very few songs that my orchestra class in high school would actually pull together for and try their best, which I was grateful for because I love this song so much and it's so fun to play on the violin
No. shit 🤣

Soccer is the number 1 and most important sport on Earth!!!!! Soccer has over 4 billion fans and is massive in over 240 countries. Every nation on Earth loves Soccer. American football is only big in the USA. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in the USA by 2050 and every country on Earth by 2100!!jnvd
Man I know that feeling. It’s so fucking great when everybody pulls for that banger of a tune.
I listen to this in 2014 as a kid i'm 23 now and today i suddenly remembered the melody but couldn't recall the name so, i search " man walking downt the street song " and this came on top 😂 i was so surprised
Thanks youtube algorithm♥️
I love how the melody played by the violins arises such diverse happy and sad emotions, therefore resonating with the title “bittersweet”
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve and WONDER WALL by Oasis in tribute to 2 of the most iconic 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
any group with a song that A SYMPHONY is willing to back up has some wheels!!! Whitesnake, LedZeppelin, etc,needed THAT in a song or it won't work.
should add the link th-cam.com/video/xNknyJIkLn4/w-d-xo.html (BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY acoustic cover)
That is so true x
😊 love your comment ❤️
I remember the words of the presenter on MTV's Hitlist UK, back in 1997: "It is a dark and haunting song". And she was right. Twenty-one years later, this timeless song is still in my head, every day.
I'd be honored if some late 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY and HIGH & DRY by Radiohead on my YT channel in tribute a great era in music. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace out.
It's 22 years count 1997 you stupid brain learn math
@@stochasticdifferentialeq.1393 No, it's not. The song was released on June 16, 1997. It is actually 21 and a half years ago. And that's not the point, anyway. Also, learn some manners.
I honestly think they isn't a day that goes by where someone isn't playing this timeless classic. It brings back so many happy memories, it also makes me cry because they were truly my last happy days too. I'd do anything to relive them days all over again. Time is precious, but memories are even more precious

It took me until I was 60 until I fully understood this song....this gentlemen was decades ahead of his time....bravo!
this is one of those songs i get lost in deep thought...gives you chills hopes and doubts all at the same time...a timeless classic in my book
Have you heard the remix on the dance channels? What do you think of it?

Sounds like a bittersweet symphony ;)

There are times when I get completely overwhelmed. On some of those occasions, I turn this song on and crank it in my earbuds. There is something incredibly soothing about the strings and the cadence. It helps me to re-center and ground myself. In short...this song has saved me numerous times and it will never not be a favorite. ❤️
Yes.
Without a doubt soothing

This song will always remind me of my friend Matt McCallister. He died in a house fire in our senior year of college. He had been a college radio DJ. At the memorial service, our friends played snippets of him from his radio bits. Toward the end, his voice faded out and this song faded in. I just lost it. After 23 years, this song still is a reminder.

Yes there is, you just didn't bother to look for it
‘Slave to money then you die’ no truer words have ever been spoken
You guys might be taking Luke Munro’s comment and the lyrics out of context? Slave to the money then you die, I believe, means we all have to earn money to meet even our basic needs...no money means no food, no shelter, etc., you work your whole life to earn cause you have no choice therefore the slave part....and the, then you die part, is you gotta do it your whole life! Now the part you have control over is how hard or long are you willing to work for stuff you dont actually need...you know, the toys...the hot car, big house, etc., the older you get or the poorer you are, the more apparent this becomes. So, yes Luke Munro , I agree very true words! A sadder sentiment is those who actually believe, he with the most toys wins....you can’t take it with you when you die baby! Either way this is a great song!💜

What is it about
A melody you recognize immediately. Brilliant.
I dont know how people find this song like it has a christmas vibe. I find it nostalgic and kind of sad
Ja Morant I just searched “songs with violins in them” 🤷♀️
sometimes christmas can bring out the demons even more and songs like this just feel right
Ja Morant i just spent like 20 minutes looking for this song so i just looked up that one song with the violin intro
Me toooooo.. I find it quite sad
Agree it's a little down beat but has memories attached including Football world cup events although that didn't go to plan. I expect the verve find it more sad as they didnt make a dime as the rolling stones manager claimed all the royalty fees... anyway happy new year...
I swear this is the best song i've ever heard. It elevates the spirit soooo high.
Jonathan C LMAO
Not the words, the mood and the music. I understand.
Ruth Petersen u are one of us and not one of them, good for you friend.
Mmm great song but a pessimistic concept. It makes out the world is just some pit of despair. The world is also full of amazing progress and experience
Too bad they ruined it with this disgusting video. How would YOU like to be mowed over intentionally by some arrogant asshole?
This song feels like a 1998's sunday afternoon with sunlight but i can't explain why...
Oh yes I agree it definitely has special nostalgia feeling too it I listen too it everyday

This has be one of the best song ever written. A truly masterpiece
Indeed.
It's ashame they sort of stole it from the rolling stones. And had to pay nearly all their royalties.
@@incognito96 they used one more note than agreed. I’ve hated The Rolling Stones ever since. All the money they have they couldn’t give this band a pass. It’s a shame what money does to people. That’s the reason this band broke up
@@PAC. The Rolling Stones returned 100% of royalties for the song to The Verve in 2019. And publishing rights forever. They relinquished even their own rightful share, probably as a goodwill gesture, apology, etc.
"Mick Jagger and Keith Richards signed over all their publishing for 'Bitter Sweet Symphony,' which was a truly kind and magnanimous thing for them to do." - Richard Ashcroft of the Verve via NPR Music - 2019.
You have to consider that the suit was filed by one of the Stones' lawyers and a former manager, Allen Klein, who is a scumbag and who benefited greatly financially. The band members don't always know what goes on behind the scenes. I remember hearing Richards found out about it, and initiated the process of rectifying the situation

Well, I've never prayed but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singin' to me now
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)
I can't change, oh, no
I can't change, oh
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Tryna make ends meet, tryna find somebody then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no,
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?

Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die.

we gotta make this top comment
Figured if I kept scrolling down I'd find the 500th person that has typed the lyrics to the song. We KNOW them... and if not, we could read the FIRST person that typed them. Besides, the song came out probably before you were born, so I'm sure a lot of us know the lyrics already.
I saw him in Brazil. He bumped into me a few minutes ago, he's still walking and ain't changed yet. My shoulder still hurts. But i'm still here in my mold.
That's very funny.
@@efthimiakonstantinides4699 Haha thanks bro
Saw him in germany yesterday
Acabei de ver ele aqui em Santos única coisa que mudou foi q ele tava de skate
Ha!! Brilliant!!
this song amplifies whatever emotion we have while hearing it….
True. I cried but don't know why...
@@businessaccesser6955 💯😿
This song brings sadness to me. Sad memories. I am glad I moved to next dimension in life.
Well said, friend. 👍
I saw a publix commercial with this song today. It opened a floodgate of memories from my middle and high school years. This song is one of the ones I can hear over and over again. It's definitely a masterpiece.
