The Verve – Bittersweet Symphony

The music video for Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve features lead singer Richard Ashcroft walking down a busy London street in a single continuous shot. As he strides forward with unwavering determination, he refuses to move or alter his path, bumping into pedestrians and obstacles without flinching. The stark simplicity and defiance of his walk mirror the song’s themes of struggle and resistance against societal expectations. The video’s minimalist approach and raw emotion have made it an iconic visual companion to the track.
