BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY
Hop aboard, while this remix of a 90's RICHARD ASHCROFT classic hits us right in the feels.
Fun fact, For the last 20+ years, THE VERVE haven't made a penny from the original, after forfeiting the royalties to The Rolling Stones. The song was embroiled in a legal battle shortly after its release, as it samples a bit of THE ROLLING STONES "THE LAST TIME"
As a result, writer Richard Ashcroft had to sign over his rights to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
"As of last month, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards signed over all their publishing for Bitter Sweet Symphony, which was a truly kind and magnanimous thing for them to do."
"I never had a personal beef with the Stones," he told the BBC. "They've always have been the greatest rock and roll band in the world."
He went on to thank Jagger and Richards for acknowledging he was responsible "for this [expletive] masterpiece".
As a result, all future royalties for the song will now go to Ashcroft.
