Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve)

Great Great Great song. Peaceful melody. Love this song

I love this album, but I think this is about the 6th or 7th best song on it..... ask me about Sonnet or Lucky Man....

cool tune

BORING..........

de mis favoritas, me encanta el vídeo del tío dándose contra todos

lady latte.. it reminds me of 107.7 at closing time

Good this shit got so annoying

you ask yourself, why do i like this??

What a great song!!! Like it or not you know it!

I THINK DIS SONG WAS IN CURLE INTENTIONS... IF ITS DAT SONG DEN YEA I LUV IT

yeah-

good

He was actually sewed by another musician for taking back round music from another song and puttin in this so copy right much. Its a good song if you have 5 min to listen to a boring song. Don't get me wrong i like the song but its just has no replay value to me.

Great one hit wonder, the rest of the album was ok

fantastic

this song is great

I like the violin in the back... alot.

SWEET

Wasn't a fan, but I can't call it a bad song.

got played out so fast

ehh..dont like it.

hm

Its the kinda song that gets stuck in your head and it also had a very different sound at the time. I liked it because it was in Cruel Intentions too and it played during a very awesome part in the movie.

I love this song!

Oh dude i remember this

I like it better then the Stones song they ripped it off from. Awesome song.

One of my favorites!!

so mellancolly

I don't remember this song at all.. but it sucks.

eh, what's to like? I don't hate it, or anything, and yes, it reminds me of being in high school.

I wish there was a rating past five haha

i love this song it was my ringtone once

I always loved this song!!

i love this song. I still listen to it.

i love this song. my sister used to play it alot when i was like 5 or 6.

One of my all time favorites and one of the few songs my parents can stand.

I use to love this one,in the late 90's they played it to death on the radio,but the verve was/is a good band.I especially liked the video for this song,

i think this is a really good song.  but i could still pick a few dozen songs from the 90's that were much better

jkhlkjhbbn

Used perfectly to end the movie Cruel Intentions.

i loved this song. still do. great video too. it completely captured my adolescent attitude.

Bittersweet Symphony is a great song, but not my favorite from The Verve.

I always think of the ending to the movie "Cruel Intentions" when I hear this song. I like it, a lot.

One of my favorite songs, and one I never get tired of listening to.

I like it but it's one of those songs that gets stuck in my head and...not in a good way.

Chalk up another vote for this as the best single of the '90s.
I don't remember the Verve having other songs on the radio, yet they have a Greatest Hits collection--perhaps they were bigger in the UK.

Notwithstanding the overall strength of this song, I personally have difficulties highly rating covers. While "Bittersweet Symphony" only sampled the Rolling Stones (well, technically a sample of a Stones cover as other reviewers have noted), it is this sample that makes or breaks the single. With that said, the song is definitely a highlight of the post-grunge late 1990's, with it's haunting lyrics and the aforementioned symphonic crescendos. Nevertheless, as a result of the lawsuit brought by the Stones' copyright holder, The Verve had to relinquish all of the song's royalties. "Bittersweet Symphony" charted in the U.S. for 8 weeks in 1998 (#12), but VH1 doesn't have much faith in the band doing so again, as it ranks the song #39 on its list of one hit wonders.

is a song very important in my life,is the most gread in the worl.verve for ever

They used the symphonic stuff rather well.

This is a brilliant song. I will never forget the music video and how incomprehensibly cool the lead singer was as he pushed through people on a crowded street. I recently listened to the infamous original song--Andrew Loog Oldham's orchestra (to my knowledge, Oldham wasn't even a musician, let alone the conductor of an orchestra) performing an arrangement of the Stones' "The Last Time." I don't really know where it came from or where it went. I don't think one can purchase it. But somehow the guys from the Verve got their hands on it, and it does sound similar to the orchestral part that became such an epic part of this song. The lyrics are very provocative. One of the best songs of the '90s, no question.
