"Bitter Sweet Symphony" is a song by the rock band The Verve, and is the lead track on their third album Urban Hymns. It was released on June 16, 1997 as the first single from the album, charting at #2 on the UK Singles Chart, having been beaten to the #1 spot by "Ill Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy, Faith Evans and 112. The single was released in the U.S. in early 1998. The song also became infamous for the legal controversy surrounding its use of an orchestral sample as its hook.
Later in 1998 a remixed version of Bitter Sweet Symphony appeared in the UK music charts called "Treat Infamy" by "Rest Assured". CDs were pressed and do exist, however due to copyright restrictions this version is no longer available commercially. This version is credited as having been written by Mick Jagger Read full article at wikipedia.org
