Richard Ashcroft delivered a message in this song that would have never been expressed otherwise. Never ever. It was his melancholy that delivered the impact and it's astonishing to me that very few (intelligent people even) seem to connect with that. It's the repetition of the violin(?) that sticks in the brain but giving all credit to that would be giving credit to a loud but minor player in this piece. The other person that should be getting credit is the director of the video. Amazing way to make it seem like Richard Ashcroft was not playing a role for one song, more like it was his life coming to some bittersweet boiling point. As a judge, I would have given %20 abkco, %60 The Verve, %10 bonus for the director of that amazing video and %10 for the actors. In summation, it was the totality of that video which left the major impact and should be recognized over the most obvious sound loop. I realize that I'm responding to this blog at random after doing a Google search for "bittersweet symphony abkco" it came up second.
