posts about the verve.

the second video is bitter sweet symphony by the verve. the lyrics can be found here.

this is britpop. you can definitely listen to it :)

edit: apparently it’s impossible to embed the official video. so i just link to it. here’s an embedable version, without video though:

[[for legal reasons, i do not want to include youtube videos here anymore. please click on this link to watch the video at youtube.]]

i like it because… of the strings melody at the beginning. if you would take the frist minute of the song and turn it into a ten minute song, i would still listen to it. this is one of the songs where i mostly ignore the vocals, and just enjoy the melody, the harmonics. (and yes, there are some edited versions on youtube without vocals; one of the better ones is this one.)
i also like the video, with the guy walking straight forward, ignoring the world around him as far as possible. i sometimes would like to do that as well…
