On the way home from
work yesterday, The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” blasted out
over my car speakers. I forgot I had added it to my playlist.
In case you’re not familiar, the song has a very melancholy feel. It’s quite catchy, but the lyrics and vocal delivery are both melancholy…wistful…basically, it’s like it was written and sung by somebody who’s weary with the drudgery of everyday life.
The first line begins, “Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, this life / Trying to make ends meet, you’re a slave to money then you die.”
Like I said, melancholy.
But relevant, given that this is a personal finance blog.
