Bitter Sweet Symphony

Lançada em 1997, é a mais conhecida canção da banda britânica The Verve. A melodia "estourou" nas rádios brasileiras no ano de 1998 e também fez parte da trilha sonora do filme Segundas Intenções, de 1999, o que fez aumentar sua fama. É usado na música um sample da versão da Andrew Oldham Orchestra para a música dos Rolling Stones, The Last time. Razão pela qual foram processados e perderam, mas não nos cabe tratar disso. Adoro essa música! E o clipe também! Veja:

A letra:

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try 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 change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

But I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

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 change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

I can't change

I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try to make ends meet

Try 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 things meet yeah

You know I can change, I can change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold

no, no, no, no, no,

I can't change

Can't change my body,

no, no, no

It justs sex and violence melody and silence

It justs sex and violence melody and silence

(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)

It justs sex and violence melody and silence

(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

Have you ever been down?

Have you ever been down?

Have you ever been down?
