Bitter Sweet Symphony (No.1)

Back To 1997Choose A Different YearNext Video


"Bitter Sweet Symphony" was originally released as a single by The Verve from their 1997 album "Urban Hymns"

The single eventually went on to peak at No.2 on the UK Charts in June 1997 and was the first single by the band to make the top 10 in the UK.

Although the song's lyrics were written by The Verve's vocalist Richard Ashcroft, the song has been credited to Keith Richards and Mick Jagger after charges by the original copyright owners that the song was plagiarized from The Rolling Stones' 1965 song "The Last Time"
