i remember listening to this song when i was in a dead job, getting paid weak money and going absolutely nowhere in life. This song got me through some rough times and helped me realise that life does suck, but only if you let it suck. I was listening to this song everyday and each time I heard it I'd cry a little bit inside. Nothing has made me feel the way I did when I heard the words "I need to hear the sounds that recognise the pain in me", it's a true masterpiece. Thank you Richard Ashcroft

[@tonygajate5780]

Energy does not die it only changes form, the spirit that your father is, his essence, what animated his body here on earth is now untethered, free. Where your dad is, I do no know but the spirit he is sure is not dead and one day your spirit when it leaves this frequency will communicate with him. That is not wishful thinking, it is critical thinking. The physicists, scientists and mathematicians that developed quantum physics, relativity, chaos theory, Bohr, Einstein, Planck were all men who believed in a God of sorts and who concluded that some sort of mind, entity, intelligence created the physical. We are spirits having a human experience, you are more than your body. Have a great life knowing that there is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more after this earth part of the journey. Do the things that make you happy.

Then today in the morning on the way to work this song plays. The funny thing is that the lyrics almost read my life. I unfortunately have been through life changing experiences at a young age and therefor suffer from extensive bipolarism. I can be mellow one minute, and the next I can loose my shit. It seriously depends on what's said to me or how its said. It hurts knowing that my daughter may be raised with separated parents. But man, this song was like spot on for me.

‘Slave to money then you die’ no truer words have ever been spoken

[@debbieglennie3430]

You guys might be taking Luke Munro’s comment and the lyrics out of context? Slave to the money then you die, I believe, means we all have to earn money to meet even our basic needs...no money means no food, no shelter, etc., you work your whole life to earn cause you have no choice therefore the slave part....and the, then you die part, is you gotta do it your whole life! Now the part you have control over is how hard or long are you willing to work for stuff you dont actually need...you know, the toys...the hot car, big house, etc., the older you get or the poorer you are, the more apparent this becomes. So, yes Luke Munro , I agree very true words! A sadder sentiment is those who actually believe, he with the most toys wins....you can’t take it with you when you die baby! Either way this is a great song!💜

[@tillitsdone]

@@PAC. The Rolling Stones returned 100% of royalties for the song to The Verve in 2019. And publishing rights forever. They relinquished even their own rightful share, probably as a goodwill gesture, apology, etc. "Mick Jagger and Keith Richards signed over all their publishing for 'Bitter Sweet Symphony,' which was a truly kind and magnanimous thing for them to do." - Richard Ashcroft of the Verve via NPR Music - 2019. You have to consider that the suit was filed by one of the Stones' lawyers and a former manager, Allen Klein, who is a scumbag and who benefited greatly financially. The band members don't always know what goes on behind the scenes. I remember hearing Richards found out about it, and initiated the process of rectifying the situation
