Bittersweet Symphony - the Verve

I am late here but this challenge is right up my alley given that music has been the balm on my ragged, COVID-fatigued soul. If I had to pick the quintessential song that would be the milestone marker of my life overall it would hands-down have to be Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve. It is a meandering and haunting examination of the whole of the human experience. Life is a symphony, a cacophony of emotions and experiences that rolls on and on with flashes of brilliance and beauty but also grief and rage and loss. Aside from the swelling chords and violins, there is a lovely strain to the singer's voice. I love that lyrics reflect that battle with destiny and the healing power of music. It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs about the human condition.
