My daughter first heard this song when she was 10 and told me she wanted it played at her funeral. She died in 2020 from cancer and we honored her wished. This song is for the ages. The power of music lives on.
Actually, it was The Rolling Stones who created a timeless song. All Richard Ashcroft did was sample it and add his new lyrics on top of it. Eventhough, both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have now given all royalties to the song back to Richard Ashcroft as of this videos upload date of May 2019, they still deserve to recognized for writing the music to it.
Watching this gave me goosebumps everywhere. But playing it in Frankfurt with 1000 People hits even harder... The atmosphere that comes up when this song starts is unbelievable
Thank god for the English for giving us so much wonderful music, The Verve, Queen, The Who, Rolling Stones, Beatles, The Kinks, Ed Sheeran, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Oasis , The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Clash,Elton John, The Sex Pistols the list is endless oh and the English language.
It still gives me goosebumps. Those lights in the gallery, the sound of the violins, the power of the drums hitting all at once. I'm so glad I was able to be part of this thing. PARIS HERE WE COME!
Well not every wher is this posible. Yes: Europ with Russia, Canada, U.S, South America states almost all: Cuba, Venesuela... eeemmm NO or maybe. DEFINETLY NO: Saudi Arabia, Katar, Emirats, Iran, Iraq, Afganistan. Islamick states will not alowd men and woman to gather and perforn on this level with this vibe. Turkey is not one of them. Ther this kind of event can definetly happen.
@@Archer28M But It' s a good thing that we are able to do such things here! I played with Rockin 1000 in Frankfurt last week and I can definetely say that it's an unforgettable experience and the best way to bring people together... We just have to bring that to other countries.
GOSTARIA QUE CADA COMANDANTE DESSES PAISES QUE TEM GRANDE POSSIBILIDADE DE GUERRA OUVISSE ESSA MUSICA UMAS 10 VEZES CONSECUTIVAS PRA MUDAR DE ATITUDES !
Proof that no matter what your political stance, race, religion, sexual preference is, we all are moved when we find harmony. Whether it’s our hearts or music, we all move to the same beat.
Shots in 1:04, 1:10, 1:31, 2:20, and 5:38 are so telling about what they are taking place and emotions raised between musicians and the audience: a masterpiece event in its semplicity
@MarkAgostini-yu5cl its not the regular rolling stones song everyone knows that was the problem it this andrew old ham Orchestra instrumental ruclips.net/video/9YrllfAMwHI/видео.htmlsi=r4EUszBapCYWbbpl
steven lamont He should ask for another job, rather than music:) probably he enjoys his job. But seriously what is bad about the office is that they rob your lifetime and energy. You give them your best years, in return you get pennies. Just think about it, how much have you payed.
The Girls smile at 1:31 of this video is precious, she's haveing the time of her life 😊😎 just a beautiful smile ..thank you, whoever you are you made my evening 🌷
I do ! #FightBack it’s up to us to either obey or fight for our rights that have been taken by our government ! Fight for Freedom ! Or lose it ! WakeUpPeople !
No matter how many times i listen to these guys and no matter the song i get goosebumps, without fail. This is human beings at our best. So many different people so different in every which way is possible coming together as one. When people say don't let hate win, you can see with things like this it ain't winning, it will never win, it never won. This is love right here, this is passion, fatih, hope, this is life. Next time someone says they hate humans, or we all suck, or were horrible creatures who just destroy things, show them this.
I absolutely love how some of the musicians have their eyes closed and are completely in their own world. This is one of the songs that really takes you away that way.
I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve, SHE'S A BRICK by Ben Folds Five, and MEET VIRGINIA by Train on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great standards of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Thanks and peace out.
This was the first song that I played for my son just after giving birth to him. He is 16 months old now and it's the only song he listens to with a gleaming smile on his face!
A fair tribute to Richard Ashcroft and The Verve, even more with the return and recognition as the original the original author of this iconic song. Justice takes time but arrives!
But the fact still remains that The Rolling Stones wrote the music to it back in 1967 as such, they are the original authors of the music. All Richard Ashcroft did was write new lyrics over top of their original and it became a hit. Eventhough, both Keith Richards and Mick Jagger have chosen to make things right in this instance by giving back all the royalties earned from it, Mr. Ashcroft should still give them what was originally agreed upon in exchange for the use of the sample. The credit should read as "Includes sample taken from "The Last Time" by The Rolling Stones, written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards. Courtesy of Abkco Records. Used by premission." This is what the record labels usually do in the liner notes, when their artist uses a sample in a song. Instead of what happened and what Allen Klein did by suing. It was Allen Klein who handled this all wrong.
And it was Ashcroft alone who got the royalties back, not The Verve, the rest of the band survives as other bands who almost made it with a couple of songs, the rest of the albums are still very indie so only old fans or real rock, britpop or shoegaze fans know, in the "worst" scenario the rest of the band are just common people like you and me.
@@robbiestewart89Actually Mick Jagger acknowlegded that he did NOT write the original. He "borrowed" it from the old American gospel son "This may be the last time". There is a recording by The Staple Singers from about 1952 on RUclips

Took over 25 years to find this unbelievable song!! I heard back in 1997 and was floored by it. Never found out who they were until YESTERDAY!!!! OMG!!! I'm so thrilled!! Going thru breast cancer and this song brings me comfort. Outstanding performance!!
Lots of love for you! ♥️ Sending some extra power 👊 Great to hear that this song is helping you, it has been powerful and important to me through my life and helpful during harder times. Cool that there's more of us 😃🤘
I hope you're cancer free if No! Don't be Discouraged because GOD!!! Will Make Your Life Better. Now I don't know you, but GOD does so I will be praying for your health.
Dear breast cancer sister, all the best for you! You are not alone...Hope all goes well and you will recover. With best wishes from my heart, Beate from Germany ❤
I got to choose the music for my cataract surgery the other day. So I chose Bittersweet Symphony. So inspiring, especially during all the psychedelic colors flashing through my vision in surgery.
@@Mohart66 I've tried to play guitar. But is really difficult if you don't have someone that can teach you how to play it. So my guitar stands in a corner since 2016...
It’s kind of weird to choose such a heartbreaking song about loneliness and struggle and have it played by so many people in a stadium. It becomes monumental and transformative. What an amazing, life affirming spectacle!
I agree, but when it came out in -97 I think that a whole lot more people than me thought "This is me". So I think It's a very good choice! And to see how much those people love playing the song... Wonderful ❤️
To all the people in Italy, please take care of one another during this time of need. The world is praying for you.... We love you and we are with you.
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the 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't change, I can't change, I can't 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, 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 airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now. No change,…
This is why I love watching opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics. I love watching people coming together, doing something good, despite all our many differences.
It is one of those songs that if Vivaldi or Mozart had produced it would be considered a timeless masterpiece. It still is and it certainly has earned its spot on my list.
This is inspiring. What a magnificent interpretation of a classic. Thank you Richard Ashcroft and thank you Great Britain for providing the world with such great popular music over the decades.
@@rhyswilliams4893 Haha. What a liar you are. The melody DOES NOT COME from The Rolling Stones. It comes from a sample taken from an orchestal version of The Last Time of Andrew Loog Oldham. And secondly, the song The Last Time by the Rolling Stones is a rip-off of a tune from The Staple Singers.
Awesome, but use more OPEN and WIDE shots! You have 1000 musicians, and use way too much closes. The wide shots are the ones that give us the goosebumps and the ideia of greatness.
Yes but the crew who recorded the videos has deleted all the recording made from the gradinates due the people was jumping during the concert and the videocameras recorded only shacked frames
I couldn't find this song for the longest time because I only heard it maybe 5 seconds. But damn I'm gonna find it. Took me a while...FINALLY heard it off my sons phone. Scared the hell outta him when I yelled "STOP" He showed me how to make a Playlist. Grateful? YES! All the people who came together to put this this amazing heart pounding, soul deep, uplifting song...WOW!!! Each individual gave their own feelings a powerful moment. Their overwhelming joy brought tears to my eyes and everything was gonna be alright even just for a moment! All that passion in one place...OUTSTANDING!! Thank you all!
I am 73 years old and when I was young it was forbidden to listen to this music. We didn't even know of the existence of these wonders of songs. I am from Russia and also lived in Poland. A whole life thrown away by the miserable political ideologies
The nostalgia that this song is giving me is unexplainable. And to see and hear so many people singing and playing their hearts out for it. Truly amazing.
Just got here and can't stop crying...Today is 10th day of war in my Ukraine😥🤦♀️ ...I adore this tune..Its really MAGNIFICENT ! Music will save the world 🌎!!! GLORY TO UKRAINE ❤🇺🇦🗽🇺🇲
lots of love to you in this terrible time. Be assured we feel your pain, pray for an end to these hostilities and we will help you rebuild your beautiful country again. Music links us. from all your friends in the UK.
That would be a soul-moment of epic proportions!!! Loved this song immensely since the very fist time I ever heard it. The Verve! Extremely under rated.
My daughter first heard this song when she was 10 and told me she wanted it played at her funeral. She died in 2020 from cancer and we honored her wished. This song is for the ages. The power of music lives on.
Truly a bitter symphony. Rest in Peace to your daughter. I hope you and yours are doing well.

One of the best comments I ever found in youtube.
I truly have this feeling, thanks for putting it in words.
Bravo! You win the internet for all music lovers with this very comment
Music is Older than We are 🤗
Music but not the bs we hear now

Eventhough, both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have now given all royalties to the song back to Richard Ashcroft as of this videos upload date of May 2019, they still deserve to recognized for writing the music to it.
Yes Richard actually sampled the Royal Philharmonic album which had their orchestral version of the Rolling Stones hit
I’ve been listening to this song for 20 years now. An Eternal life anthem ❤️
Yes he certainly did
@@robbiestewart89 have you heard the Stones version? They are 2 completely different songs. No fucking way this is a Stone's song
Everyone did great, but the real heros are the sound engineers that mic'ed and cabled and balanced all of that! 🤯
absolutely. i struggled for a 5 man band then for a show in a theater... nothing works until the last minute! hats off.
Fenomenal
If a thousand people play a song, it hits harder, it feels stronger, and sounds beautiful. Nice job all of you! Almost in tears writing this
What a lovely comment... good on you.
Watching this gave me goosebumps everywhere. But playing it in Frankfurt with 1000 People hits even harder... The atmosphere that comes up when this song starts is unbelievable
ikr,i got in tears by watching this rocking1000 videos,what a beautiful event on earth
Agreed 👍🏼🎸💯💯💯
It's like you can feel the emotions of every person in this stadium
To organize 1000 musicians deserves the highest musical award, on the planet.
6:11 a.m. on a Monday morning and this makes me feel that life is truly beautiful.❤❤

Thank god for Italy that invented music, opera, notes, stave, treble clef, musical instruments and singing with music
@@Danielreds Italy didn’t invent music you melon 😂
But England PERFECT IT !!@@Danielreds
Without Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Mississippi Delta Blues none of those English groups would exist.
Thank God for music in general and the joy it brings.
The best part of this video is seeing on their faces how much every single one of these musicians loves this song.
The drummer at 1:31 is the perfect encapsulation of the joy all of these musicians are feeling.
@@tonyjohns7310 I love the drummer @ 1:18 in the cowboy hat, and then the other one @ 1:46 in the blue hat.
Wish I could have been there.
It’s so inspiring. It’s so incredibly human. It’s so BEAUTIFUL 😭
The expressions on each individual face as they’re immersed in their own world, but perfectly in sync with everyone else is honestly astonishing…
It is the people who have such a passion for this that makes it so wonderful. Thank you for this, it is meaningful to me.

@@julieg46 it was amazing! Especially because it was unexpected, we didn't know what we were doing, it was the first time for all of us!

Lyrics:
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Tryna 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
(Have you ever been down?)
Well, I've never prayed 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 airwaves are clean and there's nobody singin' 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
(Have you ever been down?)
I can't change, oh, no
I can't change, oh
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Tryna make ends meet, tryna find somebody 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
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 my mold, no, no, no, no
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
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?
Oasis simply cant be ignored by not having one of these.. Huge choruses and all. Dont look back in anger, wonderwall,champagne supernova u name it
Absolutely jaw dropping. Instruments and singers are absolutely brilliant. What a beautiful song Richard Ashcroft has left behind. Made my day!!
Not to slight the singers and others, but when the drum corp kicks in it just gives me chills every time I listen!
It’s the violins that get me.
Took over 25 years to find this unbelievable song!! I heard back in 1997 and was floored by it. Never found out who they were until YESTERDAY!!!! OMG!!! I'm so thrilled!! Going thru breast cancer and this song brings me comfort. Outstanding performance!!
Darling, never stop riding this wave of artistry, passion and humanity! Stay healthy, Be happy!
May Yahweh be with you sister.....Love and Light FOREVER!!!
Lots of love for you! ♥️ Sending some extra power 👊 Great to hear that this song is helping you, it has been powerful and important to me through my life and helpful during harder times. Cool that there's more of us 😃🤘
I hope you're cancer free if No! Don't be Discouraged because GOD!!! Will Make Your Life Better.
Now I don't know you, but GOD does so I will be praying for your health.
Dear breast cancer sister, all the best for you! You are not alone...Hope all goes well and you will recover. With best wishes from my heart, Beate from Germany ❤
This is huge man. You know you've created a masterpiece when 1000 people cover it at once.
One of the most emotional moments of my life! That crowd was...wow!
Can't wait to play it loud in Frankfurt this year!!
🔥🖤
Yeah, Frankfurt!
Would like to hear the Youth of the Nation.
When is it?
@@viraljesse338 July 7th
I'll be there 😍
I got to choose the music for my cataract surgery the other day. So I chose Bittersweet Symphony. So inspiring, especially during all the psychedelic colors flashing through my vision in surgery.
One
One word. Epic. Two more words. Thank you.
I wish one day I'll be part of this huge band ❤️
Go for it!
@@SolidAgra yes of course, if they come to Morocco I'll not miss the opportunity to be among them
Me too. Wish I was able to play instruments 😭
@@Vanessa-ck4wi you should try to play one, I'm already a guitar player
@@Mohart66 I've tried to play guitar. But is really difficult if you don't have someone that can teach you how to play it. So my guitar stands in a corner since 2016...
It’s kind of weird to choose such a heartbreaking song about loneliness and struggle and have it played by so many people in a stadium. It becomes monumental and transformative. What an amazing, life affirming spectacle!
I agree, but when it came out in -97 I think that a whole lot more people than me thought "This is me".
So I think It's a very good choice!
And to see how much those people love playing the song... Wonderful ❤️
I have a dream: listening all people on the earth singing this song at the same time one day ❤
"Music is the only thing that heals souls, like mine."🖤
so sigma male for that
To all the people in Italy, please take care of one another during this time of need. The world is praying for you.... We love you and we are with you.
J A Grazie dall'Italia
just Italy. you a black shirt ? cop on benito.
@@blackbob3358 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the 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't change, I can't change, I can't 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, 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 airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now.
No change,…
Thanks a lot!
When my son took his own life in 2014, this song resonated in my soul 💔
RIP Jaie 💕💕💕
h3llnite sorry for your loss
I'm not a musician or a vocalist, so I live my dream through amazing talented people like these. Thanks all.
Fuck our differences....music united us all...and this song is all time classic
More like Rocking 2000's.
No song has been such an iconic soundtrack to the turn of the millennium.
realesed 1997 brit pop
I've always said that the strings manifest a sense that God exists...it's phenomenal.
He is almighty and lives
It's absolutely WILD how powerful music can be
He literally made nothing off this song, he put it out and gave it to the fans. It's ours to own forever... cheers Richard.
The Stones have given it back to him. Good for Mick.
I’m 58 years old myself great Symphony
57 ans et j'adore toujours autant 🎉
Les frissons 😅
Belle journée du Sud de la France
This reduced me to tears.
Look at all the stunned faces in the video. Their reactions of amazement and disbelief and unity are priceless.
This is why I love watching opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics. I love watching people coming together, doing something good, despite all our many differences.
It is one of those songs that if Vivaldi or Mozart had produced it would be considered a timeless masterpiece.
It still is and it certainly has earned its spot on my list.
Putting the Great back in Great Britain. Much needed. Refreshing!!! ❤
This is a testament why this will be one of the greatest music ever.
This is inspiring. What a magnificent interpretation of a classic.
Thank you Richard Ashcroft and thank you Great Britain for providing the world with such great popular music over the decades.
You're welcome, thanks for the acknowledgement 🙂... Where are you from???
✌️ And love from England
You’re welcome! 💙🎸
Singing is believing . Music is the heartstrings that power the universe.
2024 and still loving this song. I'm 56 years young🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Richard for the timeless melody... goosebumps when all the drums bunyik!..
The melody is a rolling stones song... the lyrics aren't though.
@@rhyswilliams4893 Haha. What a liar you are. The melody DOES NOT COME from The Rolling Stones. It comes from a sample taken from an orchestal version of The Last Time of Andrew Loog Oldham. And secondly, the song The Last Time by the Rolling Stones is a rip-off of a tune from The Staple Singers.
Have you ever cry listening to just the intro of one song? ...its this one for me ☺️
Steve M ...yes..,....
Amazing !! Wonderful!!!! Brilliant!!!🥁🎸
it's great when the players are as amazed as the audience.
Awesome, but use more OPEN and WIDE shots! You have 1000 musicians, and use way too much closes. The wide shots are the ones that give us the goosebumps and the ideia of greatness.
Yes I agree!
I was hoping for those wideshots too. Just to see them all!!
Yes but the crew who recorded the videos has deleted all the recording made from the gradinates due the people was jumping during the concert and the videocameras recorded only shacked frames
They need to use drones
Yes and I'll add they need to stop the Hollywood quick cuts, it's not a hollywood movie. [I'm also taking to you rocknmob]
I couldn't find this song for the longest time because I only heard it maybe 5 seconds. But damn I'm gonna find it. Took me a while...FINALLY heard it off my sons phone. Scared the hell outta him when I yelled "STOP" He showed me how to make a Playlist. Grateful? YES! All the people who came together to put this this amazing heart pounding, soul deep, uplifting song...WOW!!! Each individual gave their own feelings a powerful moment. Their overwhelming joy brought tears to my eyes and everything was gonna be alright even just for a moment! All that passion in one place...OUTSTANDING!! Thank you all!
I wonder how THE VERVE guys feel after seeing this. Must be a great feeling😊❤️
Fabio is such a genius. He should get the Nobel award for peace 🎻🥁🎸🎧🎤🎹
El mundo necesita esto!!! Vibrar alto, vibrar el armonía, vibrar en respeto y vibrar en amor
Así es
I am 73 years old and when I was young it was forbidden to listen to this music. We didn't even know of the existence of these wonders of songs. I am from Russia and also lived in Poland. A whole life thrown away by the miserable political ideologies
Period🙌🏽👌🏾😇✨🌻
The nostalgia that this song is giving me is unexplainable. And to see and hear so many people singing and playing their hearts out for it. Truly amazing.
What I really love about this video is the interaction of the musician's and the crowd their faces alone tells a great story
Amo esta cancion, ¿ alguien mas en 2024?
"MUSIC IS HEALING"
Music is life!

God bless UKRAINE 🙏🙏
Has to be one of the most beautiful sounds of the 90's. Love this song !!!
One of the most emotional videos ever made, this is just truly incredible. Best song possible to do a Rockin' 1000 on.
This appeared in my feed exactly when I needed it. Life is without a doubt, a bittersweet symphony.
Total goosebumps my whole body. How amazing we are when we unite! Wow❤
Even at the end of time, the halls and ruins of the old world we leave behind will echo with this masterpiece. Thank you Ashcroft and the Verve.
Liked even before it begun❤
An international anthem. Should be archived as the classic it is ! 😎
Crying my eyes out, this is just so damn beautiful.
Isso é muito contagiante não consigo expressar que sensação boa que é ouvir esse hino com esses artistas todos viva a música ❤
That’s the most astounding live concert piece I’ve ever seen. It gives me hope in humanity !!
They’ve become a legend for “Learn to fly”, but this... I think this is their true masterpiece.
E torneremo così, amici miei 🤟🏼🖤🇮🇹
I wish you guys would do a world tour, ill definitely attend, i always wanted to feel human for a night and forget how cruel the world is
That would be a soul-moment of epic proportions!!! Loved this song immensely since the very fist time I ever heard it. The Verve! Extremely under rated.
