Bitter Sweet Symphony - The Verve

Send us a text

In this episode, the lads uncover a song...within a song...within a song...within a song as they excavate the layers of The Verve's 1997 hit "Bitter Sweet Symphony". As they descend into the musical mine they find The Rolling Stones, The Staples Singers, discuss magical musical moments in London, marvel at the bittersweet results of an international hit, and wretch at the often inequitable distribution of royalties. Put your hard hats on, light your headlamps up and join the boyz as they descend into the depths.
