I know this is way off topic and it does not concern prince (well..kinda), but do you guys know that one song by the verve called bittersweet symphony. The reason why I thought of them is because I mentioned Pink Cashmere and it reminded me of the verve's bittersweet symphony. Not being that Pink Cashmere sounds exactly like the song, but because both songs contain a nice symphony in the background which makes them both sound unique. Has anyone heard of them though, or if not, the song???

Them songs sound absolutely nothing like each other at all
And Verve and P have absolutely nothing in common at all
So its still the wrong forum

Bittersweet Symphony is the only song I'm familiar with by the Verve.

The string-pad is rather sweet in that song, but I have never thought of Prince for a second while listening to that song, and the track is pretty much forgettable IMO

the symphony part is actually from a Rolling Stones song called The Last Time.
Apparently Richard Ashcroft got permission to use it as a small sample but they more or less made the entire song out of it.The Rolling Stones took them to the cleaners which eventually led to their break up.

Their back together now with a great new tune out just now.

I did not ask for your comparison. All I simply wanted to know was do you remember the song. I had made clear that the thread probably had little concern with prince, but thank you for your comment.

"Does anyone know" Bittersweet Symphony? It was only one of the most overplayed songs of the 90s, perhaps of all time.

...yeah, I know bittersweet symphony. The Verve is the band that made the song. It played on that one movie um...Cruel Intentions with Ryan Philipee,Reese Witherspoon, and Sarah Michelle Guellar. That movie was da' bomb!!

yes u did ask 4 a comparison, and it still in the wrong forum

I am sorry if you took it the wrong way. I simply shared my comparison between the two. At the end of the comment I said, "Do you rememeber them (the verve), or if not, the song (bittersweet symphony)?" And I thank you that you have great eyes to see that this is not the right forum. I had clearly made certain to you that the thread had little concern with prince, so I had already known that it was the wrong forum. Thanks anyway!
