Bittersweet at best. To quote a tweet I pushed out ealier:

FWIW I voted No on CA Prop 8. But apparently you still account for stupid people in large numbers. I'm hoping it gets overturned.

Women have come and gone but it wasn't until Deadwood was discontinued that I finally understood the bittersweet aphorism: It is better to have loved and lost ...

Well this is just a downright outrage! Unbelievable that those two filthy,fiery, and bittersweet brats could be so naughty! They should be gagged and thrown in handcuffs!........ *ahem* and properly rehabilitated as respective members of society

>> ^jwray:
what's the music at the beginning called? I've definitely heard that somewhere before.


It's Verve's Bittersweet Symphony. There was quite a messy legal battle behind that song. link

the verve - bittersweet symphony

Thanks for the vote. Personally, I always find it a bittersweet experience to find a video already here. I mean, it means I have to look more, but then, at least for once my taste wasn't diametrically opposed to that of the other sifters...

just tried to sift this myself

Season 5 - The last one - started last week! Very bittersweet.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

"It has been said that truly terrible art - not merely mediocre art - is as rare and as much a spectacle as truly brilliant art.

^ great statement - and I totally agree. There is a certain bittersweet beauty in awfulness.

Great post, Zifnab. I have this on an ancient cd that is worn out, especially on this song. This is probably my favorite most excellent cover of this song, and what a performance! Bittersweet to see this.

Yes, bittersweet indeed. One needs to watch this to the very end..

maybe the english word for that feeling is "bittersweet"?

but it's more sweet than bitter...

I love this song, just so relaxing... soulful bittersweet

I found this video clip, which might be a little cleaner if there's those that would prefer it.

I was just wondering why there wasn't a Pavarotti submission on the front page of the sift, so kudos to swampgirl! I am an emotional mess when I hear that majestic voice, and now it is bittersweet knowing of his passing. He was/ is my favorite tenor of all.

I remember this as a really bittersweet bit in the Futurama series.

Bittersweet seeing a younger River Phoenix in this one.
