Bitter Sweet Symphony - The Verve / Rockin'1000 That's Live Official 

My daughter first heard this song when she was 10 and told me she wanted it played at her funeral. She died in 2020 from cancer and we honored her wished. This song is for the ages. The power of music lives on.

Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music

The best part of this video is seeing on their faces how much every single one of these musicians loves this song.

To organize 1000 musicians deserves the highest musical award, on the planet.

Everyone did great, but the real heros are the sound engineers that mic'ed and cabled and balanced all of that! 🤯

When people come together like this it gives me hope for mankind.

Richard Ashcroft fulfilled his life purpose. He created a timeless song

If a thousand people play a song, it hits harder, it feels stronger, and sounds beautiful. Nice job all of you! Almost in tears writing this

I'm 72 yr geezer and I love this. For some reason I'm attached to this music. I'm a tro back from 1969. I love music. Age doesn't kill the spirit

The expressions on each individual face as they’re immersed in their own world, but perfectly in sync with everyone else is honestly astonishing…

This is what music is about…it’s a religious experience! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proof that no matter what your political stance, race, religion, sexual preference is, we all are moved when we find harmony. Whether it’s our hearts or music, we all move to the same beat.

It still gives me goosebumps. Those lights in the gallery, the sound of the violins, the power of the drums hitting all at once. I'm so glad I was able to be part of this thing. PARIS HERE WE COME!

Thank god for the English for giving us so much wonderful music, The Verve, Queen, The Who, Rolling Stones, Beatles, The Kinks, Ed Sheeran, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Oasis , The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Clash,Elton John, The Sex Pistols the list is endless oh and the English language.

When you despair with the craziness of humanity ... then find this ... and realise there's still hope!

I can't possibly imagine the state of ecstacy the people felt who were involved in this incredible moment of shared joy

Am I the only one who felt goosebumps when the drums kicked in?

A British band. EVERYONE has heard it and knows the lyrics and I’m gonna say it……. Greatest song ever written in my lifetime. I said it

Faith in humanity recovered successfully! 🙂

One of the songs I want played at my funeral!!!!!

I couldn't find this song for the longest time because I only heard it maybe 5 seconds. But damn I'm gonna find it. Took me a while...FINALLY heard it off my sons phone. Scared the hell outta him when I yelled "STOP" He showed me how to make a Playlist. Grateful? YES! All the people who came together to put this this amazing heart pounding, soul deep, uplifting song...WOW!!! Each individual gave their own feelings a powerful moment. Their overwhelming joy brought tears to my eyes and everything was gonna be alright even just for a moment! All that passion in one place...OUTSTANDING!! Thank you all!

Welcome to Italy! Country of saints, poets, navigators...and rockers...🤟

This is the best thing I can ask for on a Monday morning at office 😍

I’m 58 years old myself great Symphony

THIS is how we all should be feeling and acting in this world --- in harmony, feeling good and all together as one.

One of the greatest songs ever written!

I love the Verves version of an orchestra..You don't need an old bloke in a suit to play incredible music...This is a modern classic ❤❤❤

Chills from the moment they started playing, simply incredible❤️

That drummer chick at 1:31 is the personification of pure joy and happiness. Absolutely beautiful.

"Music is the only thing that heals souls, like mine."🖤

This is not music it's what we called an Anthem.. Never gets old..

The Girls smile at 1:31 of this video is precious, she's haveing the time of her life 😊😎 just a beautiful smile ..thank you, whoever you are you made my evening 🌷

This one IS clearly the best song version of Rockin1000

I absolutely love how some of the musicians have their eyes closed and are completely in their own world. This is one of the songs that really takes you away that way.

It's official. may 23rd 2019 was the day that the Rolling Stones gave the credits back to Richard Ashcroft from The Verve.

This is one of the best show I ever watched. ❤

I'm not a musician or a vocalist, so I live my dream through amazing talented people like these. Thanks all.

1:32 I love that face from the drummer like "gahhhdamn this sounds GOOD!!"

0:19 Don't know what's wrong with me, have tears streaming down my face, this is beautiful, the energy in the place must be truly breathtaking ❤🙏🏽

Who else miss the moment like this? When we were part of a crowd, shouting and sing in football stadium, corona plis go!

And I'm crying! There's something so beautiful about all these people coming together, united by their love for music! Awesome. Just awesome.

This was the first song that I played for my son just after giving birth to him. He is 16 months old now and it's the only song he listens to with a gleaming smile on his face!

Absolutely jaw dropping. Instruments and singers are absolutely brilliant. What a beautiful song Richard Ashcroft has left behind. Made my day!!

I got to choose the music for my cataract surgery the other day. So I chose Bittersweet Symphony. So inspiring, especially during all the psychedelic colors flashing through my vision in surgery.

This is art. Pure, beautiful and wonderful art

It’s kind of weird to choose such a heartbreaking song about loneliness and struggle and have it played by so many people in a stadium. It becomes monumental and transformative. What an amazing, life affirming spectacle!

This appeared in my feed exactly when I needed it. Life is without a doubt, a bittersweet symphony.

No matter how many times i listen to these guys and no matter the song i get goosebumps, without fail. This is human beings at our best. So many different people so different in every which way is possible coming together as one. When people say don't let hate win, you can see with things like this it ain't winning, it will never win, it never won. This is love right here, this is passion, fatih, hope, this is life. Next time someone says they hate humans, or we all suck, or were horrible creatures who just destroy things, show them this.

Yeah, Richard Ashcroft was kickin on all 12 cylinders when he came up with this tune. Pure Awesomeness

This is huge man. You know you've created a masterpiece when 1000 people cover it at once.

One One word. Epic. Two more words. Thank you.

I saw U2 when they used this song as an opener-this song was the best thing played in the stadium that night and I am big U2 fan! Puts a lump in your throat every time-This is a very cool performance!

Lyrics: 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life Tryna 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 No change, I can change I can change, I can change But I'm here in my mold I am here in my mold But 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?) 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?

I wonder how THE VERVE guys feel after seeing this. Must be a great feeling😊❤️

It's absolutely WILD how powerful music can be

Took over 25 years to find this unbelievable song!! I heard back in 1997 and was floored by it. Never found out who they were until YESTERDAY!!!! OMG!!! I'm so thrilled!! Going thru breast cancer and this song brings me comfort. Outstanding performance!!

it's great when the players are as amazed as the audience.

*Isso não é apenas uma música! É um hino, uma história de emoções que tocam no fundo da alma*

"MUSIC IS HEALING"

Oasis simply cant be ignored by not having one of these.. Huge choruses and all. Dont look back in anger, wonderwall,champagne supernova u name it

I've always said that the strings manifest a sense that God exists...it's phenomenal.

This reduced me to tears. Look at all the stunned faces in the video. Their reactions of amazement and disbelief and unity are priceless.

A fair tribute to Richard Ashcroft and The Verve, even more with the return and recognition as the original the original author of this iconic song. Justice takes time but arrives!

Biggest honour,

Crying my eyes out, this is just so damn beautiful.

1:31 THAT'S HAPPINESS

Has to be one of the most beautiful sounds of the 90's. Love this song !!!

That’s the most astounding live concert piece I’ve ever seen. It gives me hope in humanity !!

Putting the Great back in Great Britain. Much needed. Refreshing!!! ❤

Even at the end of time, the halls and ruins of the old world we leave behind will echo with this masterpiece. Thank you Ashcroft and the Verve.

One of my favorites. 🎶 It is absolutely bitter sweet.❤️💔❤️

I have a dream: listening all people on the earth singing this song at the same time one day ❤

I have watched it 7 times in the row and cryied for 40 minutes

Not to slight the singers and others, but when the drum corp kicks in it just gives me chills every time I listen!

Thank you Richard for the timeless melody... goosebumps when all the drums bunyik!..

THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE COMPILATION OF ARTIST AND MUSICIANS AND SINGERS EVER,AMAZING TO SEE ALL THIS IN TOTAL HARMONY EITH EACH OTHER. WOW

The energy I feel watching this is crazy, could only imagine the feeling of being there in person

Total goosebumps my whole body. How amazing we are when we unite! Wow❤

One of the most emotional moments of my life! That crowd was...wow! Can't wait to play it loud in Frankfurt this year!! 🔥🖤

El mundo necesita esto!!! Vibrar alto, vibrar el armonía, vibrar en respeto y vibrar en amor

Absolutely fab ❤ have this rendition ❤ and older albums 😢

He literally made nothing off this song, he put it out and gave it to the fans. It's ours to own forever... cheers Richard.

First note hit on the violin. Goosebumps everywhere

I love this song sooo much! It lifts my spirits...I wish I was there singing too!😍

How awesome, wish i could have been there with all these beautiful people

1:31 - How to fall in love in one second! Such joy and lovely smile on her face! :)

I wish one day I'll be part of this huge band ❤️

More like Rocking 2000's. No song has been such an iconic soundtrack to the turn of the millennium.

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen

The nostalgia that this song is giving me is unexplainable. And to see and hear so many people singing and playing their hearts out for it. Truly amazing.

This has always been one of my favorite songs!!

I’ve watched all them. 🇮🇪Italy was the best so far 💋

This is a testament why this will be one of the greatest music ever.

Favourite since 2001, ❤, Bravo 👍

Hermoso, hermoso, hermoso; lo escucho, los observo y lo vuelvo a hacer repetidas ocasiones y no dejo de vibrar con esta melodía interpretada por tanta gente al mismo tiempo, ojalá el mundo se tratara solo de esto, de música, de gente feliz compartiendo, disfrutando y haciendo disfrutar a quien los escucha y observa tan plenos y tan felices, es una maravilla, muchas gracias.

Fuck our differences....music united us all...and this song is all time classic

OMG I LOVE this song! I wish I was there! Give me a mic and I’ll sing my 62 year old very best off key version of this masterpiece - my favorite song of all time!! 🎤 🤩🎻 🎸🥰🎶
