Bittersweet Symphony is my favourite song of all time by far!!! I’ve listened to it a million times & every time I do I feel something different. The magic of music. Richard Ashcroft is a genius who wrote one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard. And it will forever be timeless. 🙌
Also Cruel Intentions is a banger movie & the song is used perfectly in it.

Richard Ashcroft had great success in U.K and Europe with The Verve. This was a massive hit in late 90s, and was also used in the closing scenes from the cult 1999 film Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon.

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" is based on a sample from a 1965 version of the Rolling Stones song "The Last Time" by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra. The Verve added strings, guitar, percussion and vocals. They obtained rights to use the "Last Time" sample from the copyright holder, Decca Records, but were denied permission from the Rolling Stones' former manager, Allen Klein. Following a lawsuit, the Verve relinquished all royalties and the Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were added to the song writing credits. In 2019, ten years after Klein's death, Jagger, Richards, and Klein's son ceded the rights to the Verve songwriter Richard Ashcroft.(Source :Wikipedia)

The juxtaposition of his unwavering strut and symphonic sound and real life going on around him are quite "magical" and captivating.

The video did this song a lot of justice. Cool reaction.

I seen Richard Ashcroft live with Liam Gallagher from Oasis last year and they were outstanding . One of the best concerts ive been to in loooong time

I was 17 when this song came out and my dad had just died a little over a year earlier. I was very much living a bittersweet symphony. I have strong memories of where I was and what I was doing when this song was playing.

I love this song and it's very deep. Even the video has meaning. His walk is a representation of the path of life, the people he encounters are the people and events that we encounter through our lives. The guy with the fridge on a dolly is like a big life altering event that was narrowly avoided. The people he bumped into are the little speed bumps that help shape our lives. The girl in the car is a bad relationship, the car is the large event that he was able to cross and move on from but she didn't move on as easily and followed representing how a love can effect your life long term even after it's ended. The lady he knocked down was like an encounter where he hurt someone else's life in some way and he was recognizing that but still life continues without looking back. The girl that checked him out was like a perfect fling that came and went and left only a fond memory. The car that actually made him pause was a major life event that held him in place for a while, maybe good maybe bad but significant enough to make his life take pause and him looking at his reflection in it's window's was representing him taking that moment of pause to reflect on himself a bit but in the end it too did pass and life continued as always. At the end when the other four followed with him is like the people in your life who are there for the long haul whoever they may be they stick with you till the end while still living their lives respectively.
