"Try to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die." Let that sink in.
This is my funeral song for that very reason... Also I can't change
Since the first time I heard it I thought exactly that
I am so glad to read these comments! I was 12 years old when I heard this song and I knew I wanted it played at my funeral. And truly life is a bittersweet symphony 💛✌🏻
I'm so lost with the story of the royalties, I can't even remember who'll earn a few of the dollars from this play anyway.
@@paulcook7426 Ashcroft and the lads, The Stones came good and gave them their due.
This was a huge song in the 90s put on a movie soundtrack called Cruel Intentions. Absolute monster of a song. When people think 90s, they thing bittersweet symphony
And Goo-Goo Dolls’ song “Iris” was another huge 90s soundtrack monster song.
This song was perfect at the end of Cruel Intentions.
Urban Hymns, first album I bought as a youngster!.
@@SamanthaLeigh7 Can't not think of Cruel Intentions when I hear this song!
They got sued by The Rolling Stones for this song and lost a lot of money.
This was my Mom's favorite song before she passed of M.S. back in 2013. Not trying to be depressing or anything just wanted to say THANK YOU for reacting to this great song! It was a hit back in the day but its one of those songs thats almost forgotten in time
Your Mom had good taste x
You are fine music is till the end
I'm so sorry! She must've been young, because I remember when the Verve came out with this track & I'm 46
All the best to you!
At the other end of the spectrum, my beautiful wife walked down the aisle to the strings of Bittersweet Symphony. The single most emotional moment of my life. I am sorry for your loss, but share your mother's love of this beautiful song.
sending you my love
24 years...and it still gives me the same feeling as the first time i heard it. Such a beautiful song. This was my 1997 lol
Jamiroqoi, “Virtual Insanity” and The Prodigy “Breathe”should be on your radar guys
Facts!
Yes!
I'm going to second that. Both great songs.
Absolutely
Yup, can't argue with either of those, and would raise that with Faithless, Insomnia or God is a DJ or both :)
Lenny Kravitz "It Ain't Over Til It's Over"
I was just thinking the same thing!!
LK 🚕Mr Cab Driver th-cam.com/video/PZ8V-FktUNk/w-d-xo.html
Are You Gonna Go My Way or Always on the Run!!!
@@magra453 Agree more up their alley than It Ain't Over "til It's over.
Love all of the recommended Lenny Kravitz tunes too
That's literally how all 20 ish year old males walked down the street in the nineties 😅
How man was walking with a Sony Walkman before a mobile phone.
@@tabeecorr6611 What? What’re you trying to say?
Shit your right I remember trying to do that lol
@@tabeecorr6611 felt like superman when you got the Walkman that didn't skip when you moved around.
It's the Manchester swag ❤
One of the greatest songs from the 90s. The album was basically one of the soundtrack to my life at that time. You can tell it's a block rocking beats when others do alternative covers of it. PS the band is actually originally from Wigan in the UK. That video was actually filmed in London.
One of the greatest songwriters to come out of England - Richard Ashcroft!
Yep.
I thought Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote this song?
@@506363 No🤣🤣 i know what you mean tho!
@UCxplV2WbU6Zwd5Bf5uxAzpg They never, Ashcroft took a sample (the string section I think) and wrote a song over it.
Hell yeah!
Now this one is a banger🔥🔥 for sure I grew up listening to this song!!
One of the most iconic songs ever made! It's absolutely beautiful.
Yk it was stolen from the Rolling Stones
@@41g28 explain
@@shaun3473 they sampled ‘The Last Time’
@@41g28 I see 👍
@@41g28 No it wasn't, Stones (mostly their manager) fucked them over
You're a slave to money then you die
Is one of the best lyric in music history.
I can't hear this and not think of Cruel Intentions.
Yaaasssss!!
Yes!
True
Ikr 😁. Great movie 💗

You boys need to see Massive attacks unfinished sympathy. It’s epic.
Definitely!! Unfinished Sympathy is a MUST ... Massive Attack are UK legends!! Please give it a go
Massive Attack is definitely one up there with Richard Ashcroft!!
@@onehundredmillionstars1276 YES YES YES
Have been asking forever. Unfinished Sympathy is a GEM.
@@onehundredmillionstars1276 Astronomically better in fact.
“I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me. I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now.”
Legendary band from my hometown. The Verve putting Wigan on the map since 1990
I had no idea! I’m in Charleston but, my mom’s from Baguley!
Pie eater!
When they had their homecoming concert at Haigh Hall, you could hear them in my back garden.
Gorillaz - “Clint Eastwood”
Everything But the Girl - “Missing (Remix)”
Manic Street Preachers - “Motorcycle Emptiness”
Yes! Clint Eastwood!
Yes, Manics...Welsh rock at its finest 💟🏴

I can't not think of Mango when I hear Missing

The huge controversy from this song is that they used a legally obtained sample of the violins from a 1965 instrumental cover version of a1960 Rolling Stone Song (The Last Time). Although the lyrics were 100% orignial and The Stones thief of an ex manager Allen Klein sued saying they didn't obtain all of the necessary sample rights and as a result his company got sole publishing rights while Mick Jagger & Keith Richards were given 100% writing credits for the song. Everyone made millions of dollars from the song and subsequent licensing of the song to commercials, television shows, movies, etc. Even the guy who recorded the instrumental (the sample they paid for) made money yet The Verve made absolutely nothing. The group eventually broke up. Nearly 20 years later in 2015 Mick Jagger & Keith Richards returned the rights back to the Richard Ashcroft, The Verve's lead singer and songwriter. Everyone involved: Allen Klein, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Andrew Oldham were all thieving leeches but at least Jagger and Richards finally saw the light
Original song: th-cam.com/video/6Jnmab7f1hI/w-d-xo.html
Orchestral Cover: th-cam.com/video/9YrllfAMwHI/w-d-xo.html
Also when I went to see the Stones a couple of years ago, they had this singer as their support act xx
Not enough 'seeing the light' to return or split the very large royalties they got though.
Richard knew about this before release and was asked to remove it but he declined and signed away the rights. So he was no innocent in this. The song helped their profile anyway.
@@soroyathemysticmoon1023 Their way of paying him back, I suppose.
I can't stand Mick Jagger. Can appreciate his music, but he's a POS. Dude has no morals, whatsoever. Told MacKenzie Phillips that "he had been waiting for this moment since she was 10 years old .. " .. .. right before he screwed her. Her dad had just left to go get supplies for sandwiches. WTF
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Richard Ashcroft (lead singer of the verve) play this live. The weather was amazing and every person was just singing along, definitely one of the best experiences of my life.
This song hits my soul as hard today at age 45 as it did at age 22 when it came out in 1997. This entire album (Urban Hymns) from beginning to end is EXTRAORDINARY
Smashing Pumpkins: 1979 and Bullet with Butterfly wings
Love Smashing Pumpkins, Disarm is their best song imo
1979
Yes!! I keep hoping they’ll watch Smashing Pumpkins Today or Tonight, tonight
@@trevisseimears9958 Agree. Disarm is their best song.
1979
A great 90’s song that takes me back. Check out another great 90’s song by Lenny Kravitz “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” I think y’all will love it!
Irish greats
1. The pogues fairytale of new york
2. Snow Patrol run
3. Thin Lizzy Whiskey in the jar
4. The script man who could be moved
5. Snow patrol chasing cars
Omg, my favorite Lenny song, and one of my favorite songs EVER!!!
@@mamatay7 mine too!!!!!
Notice how no one is getting out of his way either. I feel this every day. What happens if I don't give way for a change?
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, it’s some thing about the symphony orchestra in the background! This song’s intro was my ringtone for many years!🌸💜🌸
It’s still my ring tone🥰
Please do "Are you gonna go my way" and "American woman" by Lenny Kravitz. You won't be disappointed!
If they do American Woman, they really gotta look at the live set with Lenny & Prince - INSANE
Are you gonna go my way is a banger
Need to do American Woman by the Guess Who.
And You Belong To Me!!! Love Lenny!💗
@@rainlorraine9399 *laughs* I think you mean I Belong To You th-cam.com/video/amwXnrRsGkM/w-d-xo.html
I’d love to see Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus, Teena Marie - Lovergirl, and Faith No More - Epic. ❤️ Love the videos!
what abt this? th-cam.com/video/-kLpyaUcBJk/w-d-xo.html
I've been trying to get them to do Teena Marie for awhile.
@elizabethryuin love all those songs you mentioned
I think most of Depeche Mode reaction vids get blocked.
@@Julieroo28 Why? :( I really wanted them to react to DM!
This ain't just a song this is the national anthem for English football when its shown on tv
And the Seattle Seahawks! Intro song as they run out on the field at the start of the game!!!! GO HAWKS.
This song brings me a ton of nostalgia being a kid in the 90's. Reminds me of a lot, but one thing it reminds me of is the move cruel intentions.
I adore this song, it is still so good. The drugs don't work is another stunning song, really pulls at you. It's set in the UK. Thank you for this
Ah yes the drugs dont work is a powerful song
@@jbeattie86 if the drugs don't work, you're not doing it right.
Man I needed this right now! A new song and you all in your honesty in reporting. I was near tears over here on something. Thanks for sharing the healing properties of music and laughter.
The cranberries please please please!
U ok?
Aww, I hope you're gonna be alright, hon'. Sending you hugs. 😥♥️
Hope you feeling better Neo
@@stevek4438 I am getting there Steve, thank you so much for your kind thoughts!! Recovery is hard and sometimes frustration brings tears. But I am determined to be 100 SOON!
This joint was crazy when it first dropped, make you feel majestic as fuck. Shout to the Verve.
That dude was homeless before he made it with The Verve, and this track. Mad respect for the guy.
Sad, I wish The Rolling Stones would have let him get some royalties from this song
I have never seen anything saying he was homeless before this track ever..
who was homeless in the band?
@@user-vi3fv6zg7y well I assume they mean Richard Ashcroft
@@timmyjones7993 yeah you’re right he was never homeless i’m from wigan and have a few mutual friends of his and they don’t know anything about it either
This song reminds me of the end of Cruel Intentions with Reese Witherspoon driving away.
Yes, when ever I hear this song, it reminds me of that movie. I thought I was the only one. Lol
This was filmed on Hoxton Street, london,UK. There is an alternate version of the video where Ashcroft stops walking when he bumps into three men and gets beat up by them. Ashcroft gets up and keeps walking, with blood on his face. The video cuts to nighttime and it ends when Ashcroft walks into a wall and stops.
You know now that you say that I do remember back in the day seeing that ☺️
That is the version I remember from when it came out in the UK. I wonder if the States got both versions or only the cleaner one.
@@sims4sarah I’m pretty sure Australia only got the clean version, because I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen that one.
I've never seen that version or heard of it. Have to Google I think... 🤔
Just found & watched the alternate version...thanks for the heads up 😉
Since I was 8 I fell in love with this song. I’m 34 now wow...memories and the message still lingers
The true story behind this song is as intricate as the song itself as well as the movie that made it popular.
This is mid-90s at its best.
Cruel Intentions!! One of my favorite movies ever, and this song makes it even better. ❤️❤️
Yes, and now, when ever I hear this song, it reminds me of that movie. Lol
They have a good song called " the drugs don't work " it's a banger
That song is heavy emotional 👍 break down dealing with drug addiction so well.
@@jansund1650 Richard Ashcroft was singing about taking antidepressants and how they sucked the soul out of a person leaving a blank emptiness. My partner was a completely different person when he took meds like that, I much prefer him as a functioning bipolar man rather than a emotionless robot.
"He look like the Slenderman" LMAO
This has to be in the top ten songs of the 90s it's just an anthem, everything about it is perfect IMO
The Verve - The Drugs Don’t Work, it’s heartbreaking.
What do you mean??? First time hearing Verve.
@@targaryangirlalways5634 it's a song about his dad and about that when he was bored, he took drugs to escape from reality
It's bollocks 😂
Samism, I love to see a Brit in the comments!
Well obviously, because Americans don’t say “bollocks.” Although, I get it!
th-cam.com/video/FLbsciv73D0/w-d-xo.html
Fanatastic song. Takes me back to my college days. And yeah, they’re a British band.
This is my all time FAVORITE song of all time. Played this over and over and over again for an entire year or two after the album dropped. Every tune on this album is perfect. 💖💖💖
This lyric sums up the entire song .. "Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die." Awesome... this is why we need young people to keep writing cause as you get older, the angst and feelings die along with our bodies.
Listen to it again 👍 Pay more attention to the lyrics, rather than the music video. This song really captured and expressed a feeling at that time for many people. A "what's the point of life?" kind of feeling. The line "you're a slave to the money, then you die". This song was like an anthem to apathy. Apathy for life.
"He looks like he's ready to steal, kill, or destroy." You guys are funny! 😆😆😆
This song is a classic.
The lyrics are some of the best and most accurate of all time like this song just hits right on the spot
Elastica - Connection
Pulp - Common People
Blur - Girls and Boys
The Verve - Lucky Man
I kinda prefer Stutter over Connection, personally
Definitely Pulp, Yes!!
Oh yes
Hell yes to Pulp especially.
@@juliedawson8027 Yep! To Pulp's 'Common People'.
*What you won't do for love" - Bobby Caldwell
Good one!
YES
There is nothing better than British music
To me his walk was a timeline of all the people he met in his life. Some he knocked down, many he rubbed the wrong way, and sometimes he dodged what he knew wouldn't help him on his journey. In the end, it was just him and a few people who walked the same road.
Now we need Linger from the Cranberries . Irish Band please ☘️🇮🇪😊
yes!!
I think Zombie would be a better choice.
The Cranberries is a great choice. I love the first album (from which Linger is) for very personal reasons the most.
R.I.P. Dolores O’Riordan 😢
“Dreams” is another one, or “when you’re gone”
Omg YASSS
This guy, Richard Ashcroft, has one of the best voices ever. His albums with The Verve and solo are just brilliant! Just adore his music..
Agreed. Velvet Morning. My Lord what a voice.
The Verve "Lucky Man" The Verve was/is underrated...they're truly amazing and talented.
Been my favorite band for a long time. Check their first album, A storm in heaven. It was crazier than what they did later, yet probably it is still the one I prefer... I was 20 when it came out, blew my mind 😍
The entire album is brilliant 🤯. Top ten for sure.
HEY TWINS ❤️ CAN Y’ALL LISTEN TO “ENJOY THE SILENCE” BY DEPECHE MODE? Love the work you’re doing 💕
Behave you are an adult now..if have bad taste in music best to keep it quiet..hate laughing at some peoples thinking of good music
Beautiful song
I was brought up in the 80s; you guys should definitely listen to some Depeche Mode. They shaped a generation of music.
Or do Personal Jesus 🙂
Ooh, I love that one
Literally one of the 90s defining songs ❤
This song was my senior year 98, dramatic and filled with angst. I'm soooo happy you reacted. Your videos are always a highlight of my week- stay safe! 🥰
@N Smith good year. no wonder they love music.
As soon as that music starts I get goosebumps...Ashcroft is a genius even if he is a bit slender man like. The booklet you get for the album this song is on is amazing...they mixed up a line from each of their songs to make a new song.
The cut up pioneered by Burroughs ✌🏻
This was my wedding song! Don't mind the dreary lyrics, the song is epic!
The instrumental in this coupled with his brilliant unique vocals is why this an all time classic after all these years
Seriously hope you read this comment. You missed the best verse, which helps explain the message of the song. Lead singer being rude and bumping into people is distracting (Completely Understandable) But listen again... "Well I never pray,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah. I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah". Such a deep, passionate song. Still love y'all. xo
Yes. The whole song is brilliant. The video is distracting from the lyrics. I hope they listen to it sans images. Just close your eyes and vibe. 🤘🏾
Agree! Was thinking the videos can really be distracting for so many of these songs - not about reacting to a music video, but the way the music makes you feel. Although so many videos really do enhance the song, so it’s a toss up.
@Jack Bauer I think they should try to add closed captions or lyrics to all videos .
The drugs don't work, by the verve....best song xxx
The instrumental version of this song is incredible. I love it so much that I used it to walk down the aisle at my wedding.
The Wallflowers - 6th Avenue Heartache
"You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals. The song is quintessential 90's (in literally every second 90's teen film) and the film clip is simple fun.
Also, two of my all time favourites and future wedding songs: "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer (another song in HEAPS of 90's comedies/dramas) and "This Kiss" by Faith Hill. Songs that just make you happy.
Yes mate. I loved the new radicals. Had it on a copied CD back in the day.
Loved the New Radicals. What was their other single that got big at the same time?
Yeah. It's the bomb.
@@jessicamahoney4610 here's the album Jessica. I've been dancing around to it. Oh my days you suddenly remember what song is coming next!! Enjoy.
th-cam.com/video/BAwQWXeXq6g/w-d-xo.html
Yes! Great one!
Try Massive Attack ‘unfinished symphony’, REM ‘losing my religion’ and Faithless ‘Insomia’
"Shake It Out" by Florence and The Machine!
"JUMP AROUND" by HOUSE OF PAIN!!!!
Absolute corker.
Please we don't want to blow their minds yet
@@naturegirl2110 Oh yes we do! 😆😆😆
YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Love that song 🥰
Wasn't this song playing on the movie "Cruel Intentions" in the scene where they discovered she had cocaine in her little crucifix? Ah memories...
Yes it was lol
Yes, and now, when ever I hear this song, it reminds me of that movie. Lol
The only reason I know this song....
Iconic soundtrack
Instantly think of Cruel Intentions
"Trying to make ends meet than we die" were the lyrics I related to the most.
OMG I suggested this song MONTHS ago & you never did it till now. And I missed it. One of my FAV of all time. Unique song. Damn good song. Wow.
I forgot about this song. Glad to hear it again! Love you guys!
I’m around the 40 years of age. When this came out I was you guy’s ages. I have sentimental feeling toward this song. Reminds of some good old times in the 90s in England. Also the instrumental of this tune was regularly used for many years ( May still be) for the England international football matches during half time and full time in-between commercials
one of the most powerful songs ever
In my opinion probably one of the greatest songs of all time
Guys... virtual insanity by Jamiroquai. Amazing video alone, but def a banger.
Somebody that i used to know - Gotye. would be a good one to react to.
Mary J Blige - “Not Gon Cry”
Ashanti - “Baby”
Aaliyah - “Are You That Somebody”
Subscribed. Not only is this my favorite song, has been since I was little, but I loved watching y’all appreciate the music the way you did. You guys are awesome!
Guys please do anything Muse!!! Uprising, Psycho, or Hysteria!! Keep up your great work, proud of you guys!
Yes! Madness!!
Plug in Baby by Muse!!
Psycho is great!
Knights of Cydonia or supermassive black hole
Yes please Muse
I absolutely second Firestarter by the Prodigy, I think that's a great shout something a bit different for you guys,
Nancy Budd Anything by the prodigy would be amazing
Yes!!
OMG yes I think they will jump out of their chairs at fire starter and then want to hear more prodigy
PRODIGY, PRODIGY, PRODIGY PLEASE (Early stuff) No Good, Outta Space or Charley ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks - love you guys 👏👏👏
Wow, I've never heard of this song before.
So inspiring and melodic.
Loved this! Thank you!
Coldplay - Yellow.
Even if the band it's not that great as it was back in the day, "Yellow" still a must watch
The Coldplay of yesterday was EVERYTHANG!!!! One of my FAVORITE bands of ALL time. But the Coldplay of today...unoriginal and uninspired, they lost their soul!
A head full of dreams was the shiz, the most visually stunning concert I have ever been to
NO
All time great this one. From around the same time how's about firestarter by The Prodigy, Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz, Would? By Alice in Chains or Canned Heat by Jamiroquai?
They've already listened to one Alice in Chains, but went with a live version.
@@TaniaJennings oops thanks Tania, I'll catch up.
I think firestarter is a great, great shout for sure. I would love to see the boys react to that
Another vote for Firestarter by The Prodigy! 🔥🔥🔥
Alice in Chains, yes! Would?, Man in the Box by them or Vaseline by Stone Temple Pilots!
He's a million different people in this symphony called life! That message
Isn't this a masterpiece!!! Lifts you into a "Spirit Strut"!!!! 🙏🏼💗💗💗💗
Y'all should do Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity. I think y'all would love it
Space Cowboy, Cosmic Girl, Little L, Love Foolosophy, Seven days in Sunny June

OMG you2 have made my day!!! This one of my fave tunes of all time & hadn’t heard it in ages. My mood will b so much better rest of day - THANX. 👍👏❤️💋
its a mancunian swagger ;) he's from wigan near Manchester UK
I really really need these guys to watch and review Total Eclipse of the Heart!!! The reaction would be epic!!
Check out, "Enjoy the Silence" Depech Mode. You won't be sorry.
Recently discovered this song and can confirm, fucking amazing!!!
@Samantha Petty Depeche Mode is my life. Go down the back catalogue of this band to Music for the Masses.
Agreed...The ENTIRE Violator album was sick!
All the way from my home town Manchester UK 😎 The Verve are a great band 👌🏼
He is walking straight, not letting anyone change his path. The cute girl that looks at him and smiles feels attracted by his determination and he even stood up to the two biker looking dudes that looked tough and they admired him for it.
The Verve is from Wigan, UK (near Manchester). Their other big hit was The Drugs Don't Work. I think the video took influences from Massive Attack's Unfinished Symphony.
They are English! Another great English song for you to please watch is, 'Song 2' by 'Blur'.
Fantastic! Great song! I just listened to that the other day.
2 minutes of pure brilliance. Can't hear that song and not move around
Love Song 2!!!!
Or There’s No Other Way
Have they done Parklife yet?
Recall watching this on MTV, when MTV was a music video channel and life was ok.
This Album was massive very massive in the UK, he has another song really great Tune Lucky man..
