Interview with Bitter:Sweet at Properlychilled.This page was last modified 22:54, 31 December 2007.See Copyrights for details."Bitter Sweet Symphony" is a song by the rock band The Verve, and is the lead track on their third album Urban Hymns."I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy, Faith Evans and 112.The song also became infamous for the legal controversy surrounding its use of an orchestral sample as its hook.Rolling Stone ranked "Bitter Sweet Symphony" as the 382nd best song of all time.In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Bitter Sweet Symphony" at number 18 in its list of the "50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever."In September 2007, Q published a list of "Top 10 Tracks" as selected via a poll of 50 songwriters; "Bitter Sweet Symphony" is included (the list is presented alphabetically instead of being ranked).Song credits
Although the song's lyrics were written by Verve vocalist Richard Ashcroft, it has been credited to Keith Richards and Mick Jagger because the song uses the Andrew Oldham Orchestra recording of The Rolling Stones' 1965 song "The Last Time" as its foundation.Originally, The Verve had negotiated a license to use a sample from the Oldham recording, but it was successfully argued that the Verve had used 'too much' of the sample.Despite having original lyrics, the music of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" is largely based on the Oldham track (the song uses the sample as its foundation and then builds upon, though the continuous riff is Ashcroft's creation), which led to a lawsuit with ABKCO Records, Allen Klein's company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones material of the 1960s.Richards have written in 20 years."The song was also used in a Vauxhall Motors commercial, prompting Ashcroft to declare onstage, "Don't buy Vauxhall cars, they're shit", and the film Cruel Intentions.However the band was able to stop further use of the song by employing the European legal concept of moral rights.On Ashcroft's return to touring, the song traditionally ended the set list.Ashcroft also reworked the single for 'VH2 Live' for the music channel VH1, stripping the song of its strings.He also dedicated the song to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards at a gig at the Sage Gateshead in Gateshead.As long as I can play this song I'm happy to pay a few of those guys' bills."In a Cash For Questions interview with Q magazine in 1998, Keith Richards was asked if he thought it was harsh taking all The Verve's royalties from Bitter Sweet Symphony to which he replied, "I'm out of wack here, this is serious lawyer shit.If The Verve can write a better song, they can keep the money".The video
The majority of the video features Richard Ashcroft walking due north, on the east side of Hoxton Street, Hoxton, North London.The end of the video leads into the beginning of the video for "The Drugs Don't Work".The video is a tribute to "Unfinished Sympathy" by Massive Attack.The video takes the same theme of the singer walking down a road towards the camera, with comedian Paul Kaye playing the role of Richard Ashcroft.The song appears in the final scene of 1999 film Cruel Intentions.The song appears in the Bollywood film Bluffmaster.Charmed entitled "Wicca Envy" Phoebe Halliwell claims this is the greatest song ever made.It is currently used as the introduction music for the Seattle Seahawks.The version is used as the player introduction music for the University of Kentucky men's basketball team.An instrumental version of the song is played when passengers board Air New Zealand aircraft.Ironically, given the lyrics ("You're a slave to money then you die"), an instrumental version of the song was used for a Bank of New Zealand TV advertisement, and is currently used for a Nedbank South Africa TV advertisement and a Bradesco Bank advertisement in Brazil.Moby has done a remix of this song.Night Ripper, under the Ying Yang Twins' "Whisper Song".In 2007, this song is currently being used in a commercial for Gordon's Jewelers.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.In music, 2007 was a very good year.Add to my Watch List

a9AdsViewNamespace.Alright, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but to anyone who's heard the entire thing all the way through, you can probably agree.But this review isn't for all of you who know what this sounds like, this is for those of you that are sitting at your computer, thinking about purchasing this.If you like Esthero, Portishead, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Goldfrapp, Lazy, the Herb Alpert remix project, Fluke, Moloko (or just the singer, Roisin Murphy), you will love this album.Each song caters to a different audience while still remembering everyone who listened to the last song.While it remains tough to pick a favorite, the song that "broke" me to this group was "Dirty Laundry".Shana coos the line "and when he needs an alibi he can use me...The entire album plays through like a dirty secret that you're almost eager to share with everyone just so they know how innocent you aren't."Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.Your vote will be counted and will appear on the product page within 24 hours."Austin Powers (or, indeed, James Bond) soundtrack.Not that that's a bad thing.Was this review helpful to you?Listen to above Amazon soundbites, but songs develop into much more than those snapshots.It just seems to end up in my CD player a lot!Was this review helpful to you?The Remix Game isn't bad, either.Bitter:Sweet The Mating Game
