STYLE HEARTS:

I am quickly becoming in love with her style. More on that later...

THE VERVE: BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY

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...




This song was released when I was 9 (wow!) and I remember loving the slow, melodic intro of the strings and being able to immediately bob my head to the beat without hearing what the "Bittersweet Symphony" was about. After I listened to the lyrics a thousand times, I still didn't understand. Fast forward 13 1/2 years later (wow, again!) I revisited the song, listened to it a few times and now I completely understand. The chorus written above describes what is going through anyone's head, trying to make ends meet in a big or small city on any given day. His oblivion in the video is also the physical response to those thoughts on repeat while walking down the road to make that mighty dollar. Although there was controversy in the form of copyright infringements behind that beautiful beat, the song nonetheless, is pretty great.
