Ain't this some shit. If you know the song then you know it doesn't sound anything like the Stone's Last Time yet they sued Verve for 100 percent of the royalties. Just some trivia, great song. Loved the version done on Rock Star last year by whats his name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittersweet_Symphony
The lyrics are just a little trippy. If one has been down and out in an urban way and on drugs or otherwise crazy they might relate The video is interesting, I really would not mind walking around and bumping everybody, it's tedious trying to miss everybody! The Verve Bittersweet Symphony Lyrics 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life Trying to 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't change I can't change, I can't change But I'm here in my mind I am here in my mind But I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mind No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away) 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 I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now No change, I can't change I can't change, I can't change But I'm here in my mind I am here in my mind And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mind No, no, no, no, no, no, no I can't change I can't change it 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life Trying to make ends meet Trying to find some 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 You know I can't change, I can't change I can't change, I can't change But I'm here in my mind I am here in my mind And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mind No, no, no, no, no I can't change my mind no, no, no, no, no, I can't change Can't change my body, no, no, no 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 That you've ever been down That you've ever been down
I just like the orchestral riff that runs thru the song. The one that the Stones lawyers say sounds like Last Time. Thats a stretch. Cheap excuse to steal money ...how are they going to compete with the Stones lawyers. And, what poetry doesn't sound trippy esp. coming from the sewn wild oats of youth.
Your remarks would have been more profound had you spelled it "sown" rather than "sewn". In my opinion.
