Released in the 1990s, Bittersweet Symphony is the British Rock Band The Verve's biggest hit. The lead singer Richard Ashcroft wrote this song about a somber look at everyday life (songfacts.com). The violins and profound lyrics create a mesmerizing combination that grips you and makes you think each time you listen to it. Also by The Verve, check out Love is Noise from their most recent album, released August 2008. While not as good as Bittersweet Symphony, it's still a decent song.
