Structure: Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Outro This piece is a landmark of the 90s Britpop and orchestral rock genres. Its defining feature is the iconic, looped string sample (from an orchestral version of The Rolling Stones' "The Last Time"), which provides the song's main harmonic and melodic identity. This lush, cinematic string section is laid over a powerful, driving 4/4 rock beat, creating a hypnotic and anthemic feel. The instrumentation is layered, with acoustic guitar providing rhythmic texture and a simple, solid bassline grounding the E-Bm-D-A chord progression. The mood is a perfect embodiment of its "bittersweet" title; the soaring orchestra suggests triumph and grandeur, while the weary, introspective vocals and relentless rhythm convey a sense of resignation and being trapped in a cycle.
