başarılı ve en cok bilinen the verve şarkısı. sözleri
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
beatlesdan sonra ingiltere'den çıkmış en iyi grup olan the verve ' ün muhteşem şarkısı. şarkının riflerini rolling stones dan çaldıkları iddia edilmiş ve grup kararı kabul etmiştir. ancak sanırım bence yine de bu durum şarkının güzelliğine gölge düşürmüyor.
klibi de pek hoş olan şarkıdır. londra sokaklarında hergele hergele yürüyen richard ashcroft her önüne gelene toslar ve tepki çeken bakışlar arasında şarkıyı söylemeye devam eder.
cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life...
try to make ends meet , you're a slave to the 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 mould , i am here in my mould.
but i'm a million different people from one day to the next...
i can't change my mould , no,no,no,no,no,no,no
well i've never prayed,
but tonight i'm on my knees, yeah.
i need to hear some sounds that recognise 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 singing to me now.
no change, i can change, i can change, i can change,
but i'm here in my mould , i am here in my mould.
and i'm a million different people from one day to the next
i can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no
have you ever been down?
i can change, i can change...
cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
trying to make ends meet, try to find somebody then you die.
you know i can change, i can change, i can change,
but i'm here in my mould, i am here in my mould.
and i'm a million different people from one day to the next.
i can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no
we've got ya sex and violence melody and silence
(have you ever been down)
(i'll take you down the only road i've ever been down)
edit: sadece şarkının sözlerinden oluşan bu entryi eksileyen zihniyet, beni şarkının sözlerinden dolayı mı - yağmuruna tutmuştur. hey oradaki richard ben değilim.
rolling stones'dan mick jagger ve keith richards'ın the last time şarkısının orkestra versiyonun giriş bölümünü bastan sample olarak verdiği fakat sarkı ünlendiginde "cok kullanmıssınız abi" diyerek sarkının tüm yasal beste haklarını söke söke aldıgı şarkı.
gerçekten de müziği şarkı boyunca aynıdır.

sabahları dersaneye giderken yürüme yolumda kulaklığı kulağıma takıp,her seferinde farklı uyarlamalarda bulunduğum klibe sahip şarkı.richard ashcroft gibi ben de insanlara çarparak ve gamsız bir şekilde yürüyorum.ha bizim burda küfür yiyoruz ama o ayrı *
tüm zamanların en iyi şarkılarından biridir. hele girişi yok mu. ahh ulan ahh. birgün evlenirsem düğünümde ilk şarkı olarak çalacak bu şarkı ve ben hayat acı tatlı bir senfonidir diyerek ilk dansımı yapacağım.
