It literally feels like you're walking in paradise listening to this. Imagine hearing this live

[eamonnmulhern]

36 years on this planet. Heard all the controversy, both the last time and the bitter sweet just found this piece of music today.
this is the piece that caused all the it was worth it in the long what a gem

[NightRunner]

What everybody else said. It's truly bizarre how "This Could Be The Last Time" morphed into this beautiful thing, and then this beautiful thing morphed into "Bittersweet Symphony", one of the greatest songs ever made. Sometimes you just gotta put down the "you stole this!" pitchfork and torch and just appreciate the music. This to me is a rare, brilliant example of how one song can be made from another and work OH so well. 🙂

it was genius of mick and Keith to write the last time. it was genius of andrew Oldham to make it into this and it was genius of Richard Ashcroft to take this song and make it into bittersweet symphony

Would Bittersweet Symphony exist without this? I didn't think so. But very grateful to all 3 Artists.

[dawnsstar]

When I heard this as Bittersweet, I swear, I had heard it before.
I am in my 60's.... I finally found where I had heard it before, when I was 3 -4 years old.
Wow.

[dentonmilton]

I was the engineer that sat with andrew oldham and dug through hundreds of session tapes to find the original source of this piece of history.

[SpartaYoshi]

One of the best samples I've ever heard

[abilenebibleandbrew]

The verve just regained their rights to Bittersweet symphony.

[vinskeeter]

When I first heard Bittersweet Symphony, it sounded like a 60's orchestra to me and it sounded great! I don't know if it was because I had heard this way back when I was a kid or what. The Verve's "version" is one of my all time favorite songs.

[dj-umel]

Both are great!
The 1997 version literally just sounds updated.
Also, this really holds up!

[WarmVoice]

Music is a thread of memory and expression that connects humanity through time.

0:18 Well I told you once and I told you twice
0:30 But you never listen to my advice
0:41 You don't try very hard to please me
0:52 With what you know it should be easy
1:04 (Well) this could be the last time
1:10 This could be the last time
1:15 Maybe the last time
1:21 I don't know
1:38 Well I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
1:50 Feeling like I do today
2:01 There's too much pain and too much sorrow
2:13 Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow
2:24 (Well) this could be the last time
2:30 This could be the last time
2:35 Maybe the last time
2:41 I don't know
2:59 Well I told you once and I told you twice
3:10 That someone will have to pay the price
3:21 But here's a chance to change your mind
3:33 'Cause I'll be gone a long long time

[MrTubular]

The Stones had no claim to this, but Andrew Oldham, and David Whitaker who did the string arrangements, certainly did.

[aayanbaig]

Absolute genius this is, and absolute geniuses turned this into bitter sweet symphony. truly a masterpiece passed down. love it!

[RunKnitCoffee]

I have been looking for this song forever. had it on a burned unlabeled CD a friend made. I love this song so much.

[Omegaweaponsguy]

I swear upon this song, this will play the day i get married. The bells, the melody, everything just tugs at my heart in ways I've never known. The longing for Everlasting love with that special girl.

[Casey]

This music, it’s so uplifting and bittersweet and victorious it has brought me to tears.

[MarkSiosal]

Who's here because Richard got the rights back today?

[rainbowrose]

I can hear both songs, but The Verve did their own version of this and Richard wrote the lyrics to the song, so they should all get something lol! I actually love this so much, it's amazing
