there was a james lavelle or unkle remix that didn't use the strings for most of it. i thought that was pretty good, but i haven't heard it in a few years.

When my Dad got remarried a couple of summers ago his wife walked down the aisle to this. I nearly spoke up when the registrar asked if anyone had any objection. They redeemed themselves by taking the first dance to You Send Me by Sam Cooke.

If Bittersweet Symphony was made in the 2020s by some synthwave people for whom electroclash is indistinguishable from the actual 80s and heavily molested by mastering plugins.

Which is not to suggest it isn't markedly more enjoyable than the original.

yeah it's a great cover! but it's more "Washed Out covering Bittersweet Symphony"

I think it's called a marketing angle guys

Yeah miles better than the original.

Thread is probably not complete without the house version that was a big hit itself in 1998:

I remember a d’n’b mix destroying a dancefloor around that same year

I didn't listen but there was no way in hell it wouldn't match this description.
