    Double update: I got distracted from my schoolwork to admire how good the Bitter Sweet Symphony is. Everytime it pops up in my shuffle, I feel compelled to stop and actively listen to it

    There’s plenty of songs I like more, but I honestly think I would rank The Bitter Sweet Symphony as the best song of all time

    (I had a chat with my teacher, she’s not fussed if I’m a day late with my work, so I’m damn well going to silently sing the song damn it!)

      Did you know they were originally sued for the sampling in the song?

        Yep! That’s the exact reason I vehemently opposed the rolling stones! I have some quite strong words about them, but I should probably not go there. Such a ridiculous lawsuit

        I believe they got revenue back again in 2019 (?) which was also coincidentally the year I found out what it was called and added it to my playlist! Obvy I knew the song, just not what it was called
