I have watched maybe ten of these reaction videos to Bittersweet Symphony and I find it disappointing that younger people are having a hard time understanding this masterpiece. Usually they pay more attention to the video, ignoring its incredible music structure and its powerful lyrics, thinking they are watching some rude guy pushing people out of his way for fun. But the whole video is a symbolism. He's just a man walking a straight line, refusing to change his path. He doesn't want to bump on anybody, he's just choosing to stay steady on his course despite all the obstacles he encounters in life. Pay closer attention to the lyrics and you might understand it better.
This song might be the greatest song ever and Richard Ashcroft graced us with his beautiful voice. Sadly the rights to the song got taken away from the band but then Richard got them back.
I have only just found out about the copyright issue and was shocked that Richard Ashcroft only made £1000 from his biggest hit. Recently the Rolling Stones returned full rights and credits, and also most generously returned Five Million pounds in royalties. You really need to review the Verve’s , The Drugs don’t work, It will definitely make you cry, it’s such a sad song.
Backing track is a symphonic version of The Rolling Stones' The Last Time recorded in 1965 by the Andrew Oldham ...was a bit of a legal battle over the rights, I think 2019 Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had reverted the rights to the song back to the Verve frontman, allowing him to be credited as the sole author of the song :)
I'm just surprised that he ever thought the sample would go unnoticed. Seems crazy not have got permission first. Glad it finally worked out for him though.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. The only problem for people that've never heard it before and they react to the video, seeing Richard bump into everyone can get a little distracting and you lose focus of how deep and good the lyrics are.
The video is also about the struggles of life, things like plowing through good and bad situations and lost loves. There's an alternate version where he gets beats up by 3 guys, then gets up and keeps walking into the night.
Granz was starting up a new record label and offered Bregman a chance to work for him. That label turned out to be Verve, one of the most famous jazz labels. Bregman became the Au0026R head, but is best known by jazz fans for his arranging and conducting activities on a stack of sides by great singers such as Ella Fitzgeraldand Anita O'Day. He also made what might arguably be one of Bing Crosby's best records, Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings. Despite her generously sweet nature, Fitzgerald was apparently still unable to hide her initial reaction to the greenhorn producer Granz had hired for her. Her attitude was summarized best by the Italian composer, percussionist, and conductor Andrea Centazzo's reaction to an extra, uninvited dinner guest showing up: "Who the hell is this guy?"
l close my eyes and l'm back in 1990's east London, brilliantly evocative song, equally brilliant video. l lived round the corner from where it was shot, my Mother had a stall at the market there. it's the UK's second national anthem. The angry women who jumped out of her car, that is his wife.......😃 l'm so glad you got the humour of it...
Hey a great song and reaction..yes strings are what make it pop.. definitely something very unique.....thank you Kai "Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life."
@@kailamay2278 Most definitely money seems to make us all pawns in life. You are welcome and thank you really appreciate you and your reactions. You have such an in depth, sweet, positive, perspective.
I never seen you b4 but your reactions are good. I saw you stairway to Heaven which was awesome. Ironically, this second video is a dam great song. I remember when it came out. As a hard rocker, I don't usually like pop songs, but it's a mesmerizing song I still love. Fletch from South Florida. GOD BLESS.
He is a genius. He wrote this, and the album, while depressed. You may have heard the strings riff before. The Rolling Stones sued him. for copyright breaches. I never understood the video, until recently, He is walking the road of life. At the start, he nearly gets knocked over by a car, representing not being born at all. Upon that road, often people get in your way and stop you from walking. You may knock people down, or be knocked down. The road of life has obstacles and not a straight clear path, and a uncertain future.
The first CD I popped in the fine factory system when I bought my 2000 VR-6 black Volkswagen Jetta with the tan leather interior! Lol😂lol😂 ( white German Shepherd in the back) ‘Twas one bad ass with this blasting!
In line with other comments I felt that this video was so similar to Massive Attack’s video and was done ‘tongue in cheek’. The song is brilliant as is Massive Attack’s Unfinished Sympathy, I love both tracks and both videos.
This came from the album 'Urban Hymes' which is an absolute classic. It's the 18th best selling album in the UK charts and features in several 'best album' polls. There isn't a bad song on it. The other singles were 'The Drugs Don't Work' and 'Lucky Man'. The video is iconic and has been copied/spoofed several times. Probably the best known is Fat Les's 'Vindaloo' featuring Keith Allen (Lily Allen's dad) which was an unofficial England football song for the World Cup. th-cam.com/video/va6nPu-1auE/w-d-xo.html The director also did a similar video for Massive Attack's 'Unfinished Symphony'. There is also an alternative version of the video where he gets beaten up.
The underlying melody of this song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from the 'Rolling Stones'. The 'Verve' didn't get legal binding permission to use the melody and as a result Jagger and Richards got the majority of money from this song. Jagger and Richards don't allow their music to be sampled by other artists but will license their songs for other commercial reasons. Like movie and tv commercials, ect.
What a great clip & I love your reaction style Kai. Just a reminder..... I’ve suggested on a couple of occasions for you to react to a young Soprano by the name of Amira Willighagen & sent you details of some of her performances, & am wondering if you have included her in your ever growing request listing. There has not been a reactor to date that has not been blown away by this young lady. Please see what you can do, as she is an absolute prodigy. Cheers, Graeme
Awesome! Yeah this song was on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack. Whenever you have the time please react to Oasis' D'You Know What I Mean? or any song of theirs really ;)! Also you look gorgeous and you have the most infectious beautiful smile i've ever seen! Take care! Cheers!
Wonder how many takes it took, man, his shoulders must have been killing him by the end of that shoot. The baby in the pram and the cooker had a narrow escape LOL
Yes, Crual Intention took that song in to its final scene. But this song was ripped from an old 1965 Rolling Stones special album : th-cam.com/video/9YrllfAMwHI/w-d-xo.html
Here's some interesting background on this song's history. Ashcroft and the Verve band had this song stolen from them for decades by the manager/lawyer of The Rolling Stones, who claimed this song, Bitter Sweet Symphony, stole a part of their song called "Brown Sugar", which when you hear the 2 parts side by side sounds like a bogus claim. But the strange part is the Rolling Stones song, Brown Sugar, had stolen part of their song from an earlier song but has never paid reparations to those original authors. Which when you listen to those two songs in comparison, sounds far more plausible that copyright theft happened. So that lawyer made tens of millions off this Verve song up until recently when a judge finally over turned that previous decision. But they lost out on tens of millions from an aggressive over zealous deceitful lawyer.
Speaking of Bittersweet, there's a band called Big Head Todd and the Monsters that had a song called "Bittersweet", and it is amazing. If you check it out, I promise you will not be disappointed.
When you're commenting about him plowing through the women you missed that at the very start of the video he starts walking in his numbed dead to the world unfocused thought process and is mere seconds before a car would have wiped him out entirely. That is key to the whole of the rest of the video! He could have been dead before it even gets going.
Ok Kai here goes this is off one of the greatest albums in musical history " Urban Hymns " by the Verve the guy in the video is the lead singer of the band " Richard Ashcroft " they are an english band but not together sadly anymore trust me you have to buy this Cd its a masterpiece you will play over and over theres so many great songs on this album and im gonna suggest for me the best song off the album its called " Weeping Willow " Please react to it Kai " and yes this song was in the movie cruel intentions 🎸💚🎤
"Blue Pacific Ocean" ... A very nice song / piece of music / atmospheric ... (oddly) unreleased from their last album "Forth" : th-cam.com/video/sUmTCHl4EGo/w-d-xo.html
May I suggest you check out a band named Boston, but specifically their song, "Fore Play/ Long Time", it's quite a ride of a song and the title is misleading.
Quintessential 90’s. This was a great song, great band. It’s sad that they are around anymore. Misfortune sucks. Shades on the band the Beatles’ Protégé band “Badfinger”. Please check that band out. Anyway, love this song.
The lyrics pretty much explain his behaviour in the video. 'It's a bittersweet symphony this life, try to make ends meet you're a slave to the money then you die...' It's a comment on us being doomed to keep on repeating our mistakes and not listening to anyone, 'I can't change my mode no no no no...'
@Oleg Kazarashvili No. It's Mould. Mold is the US spelling of mould. The Verve are not American therefore it is mould. Unless of course you think he singing about living in his 'growth that develops on food' which would make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
The video was inspired by Massive Attacks' "Unfinished Symphony", I presume The Verve got the idea from the title similarities. In the Massive attack video it's a one take recording of the singer walking down an urban American street. You completely HAVE to do "Unfinished Symphony", not only to compare the videos but it's such an amazing song. After watching this I subscribed straight away, looking forward to going through your back catalogue!

That's one of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of music videos on first listening to a song. It's often distracting you from why the videos themselves even exist...because of the music. That said though, it's a good video.
I worked with this former pimp in Philadelphia who said to me once, "Never let anyone ever knock your hustle." Or as Woody Guthrie used to say: "Take it easy--but take it." Clear out the bullshit and focus on what you want in life.
If they don't put pauses in then the video will get blocked, that's part of the deal to get around copyright issues, if you're going to watch these reaction channels you better get use to it.
Great reaction !!! I have a proposal for myself - will you make a film about the talented young singer Viki Gabor? She has an amazing voice !!! She can sing a lot of riffs and runs as well as whistle like her idol Ariana Grande :) I would be very interested in your movie about her. Viki has great potential to become a star all over the world. She is only 13 years old and is already ahead of many experienced singer. You just need to copy .Viki Gabor - Moja i Twoja Nadzieja (Hey) | #PASJA2021
The "Symphony Sample" from Rolling Stones "Last Time" who took all royalties from the band, ironic as this was the first song Jagger and Richards had written and had made their early career from doing covers of "rhythm and blues" tracks by black artists. Sorted $$$$ now, but not cool for Richard Ashcroft and the Verve are a class act.
That was their former manager, Allen Klein, who owned the publishing on their songs pre-1970. After Klein's death, his son and the Stones manager agreed to reassign the rights to Ashcroft. Nor is "The Last Time" the first song written by Jagger/Richards. It was the first to be released as a UK single written by them. Both of their 1964 albums (the year before "The Last Time") had songs written by Jagger/Richards, with "Tell Me (I'm Coming Back)" released as a single outside of the UK a year before "The Last Time" was written.
@@markamos1911 I stand corrected, I remember them saying they had to be locked in a room to force themselves to get some new material. Give yourself a gold Star 🌟. LOL

The video is definitely awesome but also a bit distracting, I get the symbolism but still found it funny. It's hard to ignore the visuals.
The lyrics, the lyrics, the lyrics!!
i thought the opposite for some guy who reacted to it and just listened to it, i think something is gained by listening and watching the video.
Alright mush calm down
The majority of these people, for a start, simply don't understand the expression bittersweet.
This song might be the greatest song ever and Richard Ashcroft graced us with his beautiful voice. Sadly the rights to the song got taken away from the band but then Richard got them back.
they gave It back for him xD
@@dabeta1238 I know

@@MrDiddyDee It sounds nowt like Last Time - it was taken from the instrumental of that song.
@@MrDiddyDee read into it more! Believe he actually did ask permission and they ended up deciding not to honour their word once the song was released
@@MrDiddyDee I know what you mean the Rolling Stones ripped of the song by The Time of a The Staple Singers as well.
The song is quite deep and you're more concerned about him ploughing through people. Thumbs up for the song.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. The only problem for people that've never heard it before and they react to the video, seeing Richard bump into everyone can get a little distracting and you lose focus of how deep and good the lyrics are.

Soo true!! I heard it on the radio in my car a couple of weeks ago and it definitely hit a lot harder.
I absolutely love this song. Thanks Kai. You have an adorable personality so Beautiful .
Thank you so much!!
Give the song “Lucky Man” a listen from the Verve. You won’t be disappointed!!!
YES +2
oh yeessss !!!
+3
Oh yes. Lucky man is my anthem. Great artist
Lucky Man is amazing!!
That is a beautiful song
Richard Ashcroft was a brilliant sing songwriter in the 90`s.
He still is in the 2020s!
I haven't heard this song in years... Nice selection!! 90s music was the best!!

The reason it sounds familiar is because it was in a film called cruel intentions right at the end we’re she gets revenge
The internet had almost stated in 1997, but luckily no one knew about it..

Nor is "The Last Time" the first song written by Jagger/Richards. It was the first to be released as a UK single written by them. Both of their 1964 albums (the year before "The Last Time") had songs written by Jagger/Richards, with "Tell Me (I'm Coming Back)" released as a single outside of the UK a year before "The Last Time" was written.
@@markamos1911 I stand corrected, I remember them saying they had to be locked in a room to force themselves to get some new material. Give yourself a gold Star 🌟. LOL
It's so crazy how talented artists get the short end of the deal sometimes.
@@kailamay2278 Totally agree.
stop rewind stop rewind... watch the video then comment.
If u have time, check out a live version
My good friend! You need to do arctic monkeys do I wanna know
A couple people suggested them, do they a similar style as The Verve?
@@kailamay2278 they are a bit more upbeat. But definitely worth a reaction
i feel like the video is like, to get ahead he had to have a tough shell and every contact is a failed connection because of it
Yeah, and all this stuff keeps happening and life just keeps moving forward.
Great reaction
Thanks love
