I heard it was a personal favorite of Paul Allen around the time he bought the team. The instrumentation is pretty cool on that song, but the vocals and lyrics are a little rough. Interestingly, the Verve didn’t do the instrumentation. They sampled from an Andrew Oldham Orchestra song that sampled from a Rolling Stone song, which borrowed from a traditional folk song. David Whitaker wrote the awesome string line for the song.
You’d think it would be a song from one of the bands from Seattle’s bountiful music scene but you’d be wrong.
It’s Bittersweet Symphony and its something that we should move on from imo.
