The 1 billion view mark was passed 2-15-2024! A true testament to this song and video.
Celebrating 1 Billion, and this masterpiece surely deserves it. There never has been a more accurate depiction of life in music than this.
My mother loved this song. She was disabled and could not walk. She dreamt of walking around the city and not noticing anyone like the lead singer in the video. At her funeral, she asked to play this song. And now when she's gone, Bitter Sweet Symphony reminds me of her❤️
I'm 74,never heard this before. I'm awestruck, genius song hard hitting lyrics. ❤
I was 20, I’m 47. Still the same feeling. That’s called great music.
I'm at a point in life where I feel exactly like him in the video , the world is crazy,superficial connections, nothing's real.. walking through it all while trying to keep hope in the midst of all this insanity people created.. recognizing pain and beauty of life at the same time.. I grew up with this song but I guess the real meaning has been revealed to me only now. This song is timeless.
This is one of those rare songs that never gets old and it stays in your memory forever. Simply a masterpiece
Don't mind me, just stopping by before this hits 1B views. This song is just timeless.
One of the most iconic music videos of the 90s.
Just passed 1 billion views? Congratulations to the Verve. Age 32, I remember hearing this on the radio all the time growing up in 90s Australia. One of those iconic songs that just always sticks with you. Well deserved 1B
HOLY SH*T THIS MASTERPIECE OF A SONG IS NOW AT 1 BILLION VIEWS
Let’s get this masterpiece of a song to 1 billion everyone
Well, Richard Ashcroft has regained the rights to music Congratulations, Richard.
Amazing seeing this music passing 1 billion views. A masterpiece.
This song is my safe place since i can remember, my dad played it everywhere we went, in our long long car rides at 3 am when i was 3 or 4. He kept doing this for years. Now im playing it for him at any chance ive got. This is how we say "I love you". Thank you dad, this song is the greatest gift ever.
At last this vid has slow cooked to 999 million, cheers to a billion.
Never getting tired of this masterpiece. I was 7, I am 32.
Feb 18, 2024. Still gives me power to move on
This song is so sad and satisfying at the same time
the fact that this song and video will be 30 years old in just 3 years from now is insane
