@@AndrewBower-zf7bj But the music was just kind-of background them, as MrPicklerwoof suggests. NOW we really need things like the above, with the world being even worse than it ever was. The struggle is now, and (having been Born Again in Jesus), I am actually exhilarated by it. I see things more clearly, and there is everything to play for still. Which is why I'm writing to you, my friend...

[@yarayazbek]

"How many times do I have to learn all the love I have is in my mind?" What a profound lyric, that compels us to dig a little deeper and find love for ourselves and not expect it from others!! I've struggled with this for so long until I realized that the love you have for yourself defines every relationship in your life. All the love you need is within you!

[@bionicloaf]

I think that line isn't about love for yourself. (I think) It's about the reality that all thought, feelings, emotions, etc all come from WITHIN. Therefore if you are not feeling love, or happiness you need only reach internally to grab it and there is no reason to look externally for it. It doesn't exist out there.

Leave your addiction, fully and completely, as not something that you'll ever allow yourself to be ashamed of but rather of something that you feel empowered by to degrees that most will never understand but which will empower you to stay clean while immersed in the juice of life that is only offered through the experience of rejuvenation of those who desire a better conclusion to this game of life.

As much notoriety Bittersweet Symphony received (and deserved) at the time, this song is their magnum opus in my opinion. Just classic from the first note until the last. One of my favorite 90s songs. Timeless. 🙌

[@danielwilliams173]

Why notoriety? I agree that this is song is their best, but Bittersweet Symphony is a classic. If you're referring to the copyright drama, The Verve got the raw end of the deal in all of that nonsense. They did nothing wrong. They simply cleared the 'Master Rights' to the song but forgot to clear the 'Publishing Rights.' Just poor lawyering. That's all it was. A simple legal oversight. They had previously received permission from the Stones. So the Verve should have received all the royalties from the outset. The story has a happy ending, though (albeit a belated one). Several years ago, Mick and Keith started sending all the royalties to Ashcroft and stopped claiming any rights to the sample.

[@KirbySmartsFakePunt]

⁠@@danielwilliams173bro he just meant it was more popular. Nothing about legal copyrights 😂

@@KirbySmartsFakePunt Maybe, but he said "notoriety." Notoriety and popularity have totally different connotations (notoriety, of course, is characterized by recognition that is specifically unfavorable).

[@livpuremagikshoppe4237]

This song is simple but beautiful. Not everything needs to be complex in order for it to mean something.

[@sidpheasant7585]

In a sense I agree with you. A small flower or even a beetle has immense meaning, and does not seem complex ... though compared to the most complex piece of stone it is. But this song has its complexity, not least the notion of lucky, which might easily be substituted for blessed. In fact, various people have interpreted the song in various ways (including some that are quite straightforwardly sexual!) But I think it DOES have shades or meaning or layers of meaning. Either way I of course love it, but then I think about the ultimate source of all love and truth everywhere, which is one; or maybe three in one... This song inspires love, and - in my honest opinion - bad things cannot and do not readily come from it. That's precious.

Yeah the 90's were great, if only we could go back to those days and know how great they really were....

[@Picnicl]

Well, there were 2 or 3 parts. The early 90s as overhang from 1985 onwards with REM , Stone Roses, James, Charlatans. British indie really made a mark, if mainly at home. Then 1994 when, apart from Oasis, the southerners struck back but in a retro way - Suede, Blur. Then, 1995, and Pulp and Radiohead start to burst the Britpop party before its supposed golden year ( which was actually a relatively dry 90s year for classic albums), 1996.Then once The Verve released Urban Hymns, Radiohead released OK Computer, and Oasis released the underrated Be Here Now, all in 1997, there'd never be that crescendo again (and it was a beautifully magical, epic, time, before many outside of university had the internet too). Lesser talents such as Travis and Coldplay were having wild success by rather cynically copying Radiohead's chin stroking, but instead convincing the average uncool guy 'You're special because you don't act like anything is more special than your beige existence'.

[@hanspeterraatz4928]

This is the most uplifting song ever written. I guess many people can reflect at one point in their life, and see, how many times they were just lucky. At 17, I could have been crushed by a ten ton load, I pulled with my tractor, when the brakes malfunctioned on a steep hill. Lucky for me a farmer sowing his field nearby saw, what happened, jumped without regard to his own life, down from his tractor, sprinted 50 yards toward my ever faster going tractor trailer, jumped onto the trailer and pulled the hand brake. Another time I was run over on my bike from a pickup truck, flew 6 yards through the air and landed with my head and upper body on a patch of grass, my head one foot away from a steel fence with concrete foundation, to the left one foot away a concrete electric post and to my right a tree. My hip smashed on the curb stone, but was cushioned by a thick H-D wallet. I only broke two rips and could drive myself to the hospital. But maybe it all has a purpose, because I could save 5 lives after my first encounter with death.

As we age, feelings and emotions that were once so brilliant fade away and leave us with nothing more than a memory of what we remember feeling.

I used to feel this way, David. But then I was Born Again thanks be to the Holy Spirit of Truth and Love and I realised that such songs as this help us understand the transcending wonder of the love and mercy God has for us. And then, as Jesus wants, we see that NOW is the most important time, including the now in which I wtite to you. Nostalgia is OK in its place, but now is the time you can change something - love more, forgive more, sin less, judge and condemn less - all the things Jesus taught us and the beloved Paraclete is wsiting and longing to help us with, in the middle of this often-rotten and evil-filled world. But we can be of God if we choose, and it starts this moment, if we say yes to it. I did and now I see more and love more and know more.... What's not to like?
