The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony (Official Music Video)(REACTION!!!) 

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 but in the end it too did pass and life continued as always. And 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. I've commented this on every reaction to this song I've watched, I copy and paste it because it's the best way I can describe it. Just wanted full clarity.

I've been on this planet 62 years and music has been the core of my life and this song is one of my all time favorites. It really hits a soft spot in my soul.

The lyrics are amazing.

The lead singer, Richard Ashcroft is one of the most influential & respected songs writers the UK has ever produced ❤ this song is from the album Urban Hymns. He has several solo albums too ❤️

I read somewhere that the music video with him bumping into people is supposed to represent him being in his mold, not wanting to change and the people getting in his way that he’s bumping into are supposed to represent the people in our lives, trying to make us change to fit them.

I love this song so much, it always reminds me of the movie cruel intentions. I always used to say I wanted this as my funeral song 😂

This was in the movie Cruel Intentions. AWESOME movie

Very good reaction👍, in such a young age for you to appreciate greatness in my generation's music is very uplifting.

One of the greatest British Bands . Saw them live in the 90's Such a charismatic man. I gave birth to my daughter to "catching the butterfly" . Check out A Northern Soul, History and Slide Away. Oasis wrote a song about Ricard Ashcroft called Cast No Shadow.

In the video he's moving forward most of the people he is bumping into are not paying attention. Instead of accommodating there lack of awareness he's just plows through them then letting them interrupt his course, or his life. He walks over the car because it is stopped out in his path blocking the sidewalk but he stops for the car on the street if hadn't that would of threatened his life. The actions he takes make me think he is very aware of who he is, what he is doing, an where he is going. Life is a bittersweet symphony that is live. Life is short you shouldn't slow down for anything.

Beautiful song, I love many versions of this sad story. Definitely Cruel Intentions and Dangerous Liaisons rate the highest. Thank you for sharing

“Music” is symbolic my man, all those people bumping into him are expectations and/or opinions but he keeps knocking them out cuz he can’t change

Nice one, man 👊. Check their song “Lucky Man”

This song is a metaphor for the path of life and in this song it's Richard Ashcroft's path of life

Going against the flow, is fucking hard man.

The whole LP is a masterpiece.

Richard Ashcroft is a musical genius. Check out his solo stuff. Play You on my mind in my sleep. GOLD!!!!

Live "Lighting Crashes"

Great song this was all over radio to where you had to know the words if you wanted to or not

Great song and video, The Drugs don't Work another, full of emotion

Next song? "Sonnet"

Yeah mate 100 percent a classic...

One of the main bands in the Britpop movement of the 1990s - "Lucky Man" is another great song of theirs. If you want to hear more 90s Britpop, try Oasis ("Champagne Supernova", "Wonderwall"), Pulp ("Common People"), and Blur ("Parklife"). The violins were from an album of orchestral versions of Rolling Stones songs - and the Verve got heavily sued. It's only in the last year or so that they've seen any royalties for this song. The video is a representation of a person's journey through life and all the life events that deflect him and affect him. And yeah, he's saying he can't change the pattern of his life. Deep lyrics.

Check out "Zombie" by The Cranberries and "More Than Words" by Extreme.

Not Beethoven.. it’s a sample from an orchestral production of a Rolling Stone song. In fact The Rolling Stones sued and I think won and made almost all the money this song generated

They are an english band

You guys will like K.Flay "Crazy Town"

Just realized that between this one and The Righteous Brothers... You're a fan of the strings with drums. 😎 Okay. Look up ANYTHING Phil Spector made in the 60's as a producer. He created "The Wall of Sound", which is where this kinda beat comes from. He was the guy who produced the two Righteous Brothers Songs you've done as well. Hes in jail for murder now. His guilt can be debated. His fucking genius and musicality can NOT. You'd dig his sound, man.

Personally one of the best english bands. Also arctic monkeys. Do I wanna know is good:^♥️👍✌️😂Also blur and gorillaz

Bishop Briggs "The way I do"

The Verve has so many other hits

"Blue Pacific Ocean" ... A very nice song / piece of music / atmospheric ... (oddly) unreleased from their last album "Forth" ... the music builds as this song progresses : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sUmTCHl4EGo.html

Yes 😂 Beethoven certainly made classic music

Maybe he wouldn’t be so discontented if he was nicer to strangers! Haha

Amazing group. Catching the butterfly or The drugs don't work.

My guy got ads🔥🔥🔥

Pls react to Voices by Karmas Right Hand

Good song. Try another Aerosmith- I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing.

Give nightwish a try 😀

I was thinking maybe can't change his modem or change his mood

The theme tune of a disappointing England game on itv right here! Next one should be "lucky man" or "sonnet". Awesome tunes!

🤣😘😘😘

The Verve (the drugs don't work)

Amber run "I found"

wasn't this song in the breakfast club or something?
