The Narcissist
Looked in the mirror
So many people standing there
I walked towards them into the floodlights
I heard no echo
There was distortion everywhere
I found my ego
I felt rubato standing there
Found my transcendent
It played in mono painted blue
You were the pirot
I was the dark room
I’m going to shine a light in your eyes
You’ll probably shine it back on me
But I won’t fall this time
With godspeed I’ll heed the signs
I saw the solstice
The service station on the road
I took the acid
Under the white horses
My heart it quickened
I could not tear myself away
Became addiction
If you see darkness look away
I’m going to shine a light in your eyes
You will probably shine it back on me
But I won’t fall this time
With godspeed I’ll heed the signs
Oh glorious world
Oh potent waves valleys gone wild
Connect us to love and keep us peaceful for a while
I’m going to shine a light in your eyes
You will probably shine it back on me
But I won’t fall this time
With godspeed I’ll heed the signs
I’m a shine a light in your eyes
You probably shine it back it back on me
But I won’t fall this time with godspeed I’ll heed the signs
But I won’t fall this time with godspeed I’ll heed the signs

The fact that they can disappear for years, return and still sound relevant, suggests just how bloody damn incredible artists they are ...Excellent as always !!!
They have always been there, you just wasnt looking in the right places 😂
yeah true, but Damon Albarn never stopped. From Gorillaz to his solo stuff and Graham Coxon had sole albums too.
@richard black I'm not questioning Albarn or Coxon and their other fantastic musical projects ... of course its there ..A band dynamic is a different point ...even Albarn pointed that out in the interview ...
Sounding "relevant" is the problem. It all mashes into something generic.
Bands will always be relevant. They grow with the times. Would be a bad business move to stay in one direction
I cant tell you how many times I've listened to this. To hear Damon's voice come back over the radio made me tear up, His voice just makes me feel comfortable.
Me too. I've missed this.
Such a distinctive voice. And Graham coxon just backs it up beautifully! Met him in a bar in Camden once!
Same
look up their interview with narduwar and you will look at them different.
O MEU SENTIMENTO É IGUAL AO SEU MIM SINTO EM PAZ COM O MEU EU,OUVINDO ESTA MÚSICA MARAVILHOSA🇧🇷👈
34 years later and they can still produce a masterpiece👏👏👏
you know they are gorillaz the group
No they are not! Damon Albarn alone is though.
what a comeback song, this could easily be song of the year.
Genuinely never thought they'd make a record this reunion. To come home to that fantastic news today, then hear this absolutely beautiful tune has just made my week.
Made my year!
I read somewhere Graham is working on the second Konklins album, the plesiosaur successor, is it true?
this song is really growing in me :)
Agreed. I still think we peaked as cultural beings in the 90s and then things started to come down. Would be nice to get reset on the right direction, specially these days
@@sofiakatelyn most of the music I listen is from the 90s! Very little music make it through my mp3 these days.
Sounds new and nostalgic all at once. Almost can see life slipping away. Painful and beautiful all at the same time.
Made me think of tunes of theirs like Blue jeans, To the end. I hope the new album is like that with one cracking rocking number.
@@corillaz5817 "Blur, They're a Better U2."
This is a good description of Blur’s music, sounds new and nostalgic all at once..
Exactly
i thought it was a 20 year old song. actually i dont like blur. i was surprised by this song
Who else had a visceral and emotional response to this song? Powerful.
Took way too much Acid, I did lmao
Loved this band from the beginning they started, but gutted that I didn’t realise they where touring, and missed out massively, I have a terminal illness but hopefully get to see them next time around. Don’t be depressed when you read this, I am strong and happy, each day is a bonus and this new track from them is the best medicine for me, great voice Damon .
Hope you get your chance mate . I've been busting to see them for years
Sending Love! I'm waiting to see them too, we will get there! I need to experience Blur in 3D 😂 I hope you're doing as well as can be and feeling that strength for plenty of days to come 🥰
Thanks jess, life throws things at you and although it’s hard, as I said every days a bonus, and I have a great wife to support me. Thank you I hope you get that experience as well. Rob
@@Crack_biscuits thank you mate, nice words
Mate got to see them in the Sunday at Wembley and they were truly phenomenal. Just hope they announce a new tour and maybe even see you there, you never know.🤞🍻
THEY TOOK US BY SURPRISE
Again!
THEY DID
And that doesn't happen often in today's society. Love me a good surprise!
For real!!🥳
Not really. James Ford spilled the beans a couple of months ago. But a great confirmation nonetheless!!
This song is so stunning. Simultaneously uplifting and melancholy, elegiac. Very powerful. Damon's voice is like pure melted gold.
Just love it when the bass kicks in
Narcissists are exactly that.
I have to agree, I was blown away by this.
It stopped me in my tracks first time I heard it, and it just gets better ❤
Its just what we call a Indie Hymne 200 years ago...
This song is like a classic movie. Every time I listen to it I pick up something different and fall more in love with it. So good to have you back, lads.
this song has made me cry too many times to count. I went to a gig they did in london very recently and when they were playing this i couldnt stop crying. Ive had problems with my mental health for the past few years and hearing this played live made me realise that im still alive despite all that ive been through.
Thank you Blur, Thank you so much for this song. I honestly cant convey in words how this song makes me feel.
❤❤
❤❤❤
Those kind of words mean a lot too. I always feel weak when I start crying over songs and scenes in TV shows and things like that but I know in my head it is my soul reaching out and being able to connect with something, it's not a weakness but something that usually keeps up going if anything. When I find others feeling the same it builds up that part of me deep inside and like this usually makes me reach out. I hope you are doing well and/or know there are others out there you can talk to or atleast hopefully relate to. xx
@@UKFreakster86 thank you so much for this kind comment
❤️🔥
It sounds hyperbolic and crazy, but I honestly don’t know where I would be without Blur. They’ve been such a big part of my life since I was 10 years old. I’m now 40. Thanks for all the years of great music, guys! ❤
Do you listen to Gorillaz? This sounds like the reprise of Silent Running.
Its not hyperbolic, i understand you 100%, i'm 32 now and have been listening to them since i was 6, and if right now I'm a musician and been playing for 12 years on a band and enjoying the pleasure of making music it's primarily because of this guys. They are the soundtrack of many meaningful moments.
i’m 21 and been listening to blur and gorillaz since i was about 5. they’re always going to be part of my life :)
@@fghsinging love Gorillaz
@@fghsinging silent running is better but I might change my mind in a few weeks
Only Blur could go on such a long hiatus and come back with such a bang.
More a thud rather than a bang IMO
❤
A beautiful thud, like your heart falling into your stomach with yearning. Obviously if you just want more Parklifes or Country Houses then you’ll be disappointed. Blur have outgrown those moments, they move forward, which is what all the great bands do.
@@kirkwarburton2277 calm down kirk i stand by my statement
I think it's underwhelming to say the least
I am calm thanks. Of course you’re entitled to your opinion. It’s just that “I felt rebuttal standing there”!
“Oh, glorious world (glorious)
Oh, potent waves, valleys gone wild (potent waves)
Connect us to love (us to love)
And keep us peaceful for a while (for a while)”
Gosh. Just. Gosh. 💗💗💗
I was hoping Damon would be more demonstrably in touch, yet he’s darned close in this song. There are real insights.
“If you see darkness, look away”.
You can respond in that way.
I think it is better to align yourself to the light, if you can.
Waited decades for this. As soon as it came on it just wrapped me up in a nostalgic trip to my late teens of blur v oasis, girls, booze, sneaking out and loving life. Life comes at you fast.youngsters, Live it
Lonesome Town was good from their last album in 2015. That sounded like the 90s blur
@@cortinadale tbh didn't take much notice of that album. I'll have a listen now though thanks
They can do no wrong. What a brilliant band they are. Experimental, accessible, cerebral, low-brow, catchy, complex. They do it all.
Bullying Nardwhuar was so wrong
@@tomh6588 they're probably in good terms now decades later and you're the one biting yourself in misery
@@cupuacu4life13 Yes I'm trapped in a prison of my own inner misery, nibbling away, fixated on nothing more than my previous comment.
@@tomh6588to be honest everyone but Dave was pretty chill with Nardwuar
@@Portaldog You're right but the other 2 were getting off on it. It was a long time ago but my original post was in reply to 'they can do no wrong' which is obviously nonsense.
It’s brilliant, a top tier Blur song, better than I could expect. It’s got a beautiful melody and yearning to it, great guitar sound and an emotional heart.
It’s more reminiscent of Think Tank’s melodic guitar moments or maybe even Blur’s more tender moments.
no pun intended
It’s not better than song 2
I never said it was?! But it’s a matter of opinion and a completely different style of song. Personally I think it’s superior on a lyrical basis, I’ve never felt Song 2 was one of Blur’s best songs, it’s just a good rock out song, not genius songcraft, and I love heavy riffage. But perhaps I’m also a little jaded from it being over played, it’s not like it has the real depth and layers that some great Blur songs have.
@@kirkwarburton2277 couldnt have said it better myself.
@@kirkwarburton2277 never said you did I just stated a fact song 2 overall better the bass drums and guitar riff is Peak the Narcissist is a good song but doesn’t have the same impact like song 2
What a TUNE! thanks blur for keeping it Indie in 2023. Some right shite In the charts 🙌
have you watch some of the music channels lately.?..absolute shiite
Music is dead. Music culture .. scenes ..are dead. Feel sorry for teens in 2023 they have all they ever dreamed of materialy but spiritually ... Bankrupt.
Thank god I was young through the 90s we really didn't realise how musically and culturally rich those days were. Take me back .... One weekend mid 90s please.
I agree, we reached peak music sometime around mid to late 90s. Still some gems like this pop up from time to time to keep your hopes up.
Music is NOT dead. Have you listened to the new Vampire Weekend? Just absolutely magical. I would even say it's better than any album Blur has ever put out
This is so good, it sounds like an old classic, not a new release.
What a tune. 1st time I heard it I thought it was pretty decent. Then all of a sudden I found I was singing it in my head constantly. Can't get it out my head now and keep playing it all the time. Always a sign of a decent song. Blur doing this. Noel last couple of singles off his new album. It's amazing these guys are still able to put decent music out 30 years plus after they 1st broke through.
Same story with me. Had it in my head all day, now I play it over and over like a lunatic.
This song is class! Heard it on the radio last week! Said it was okay but I reckoned it would grow on me. Heard it a couple more times and found myself covered in goosebumps. Was always an oasis fan growing up (born 1993), but grew to love blur and appreciate how talented damon is with his own solo stuff and also the gorillaz. Liam has all the young fans but Damon and Noel are the real talented musicians! Class!
Yep hundred percent!!
The old boys are showing their skills😎
Same
I listen to about 4/5 times a day can't get it out of my head
Love it xx
I've watched Damons dedvelopment as a songwriter since i was 14 in 1994... I'm now 43 and i believe he's at the absolute apex of his game. This and Silent running on the latest Gorlliaz album are just sublime pieces of pop excellence.
Baby Queen rips too. Song is a jaw dropper
The deepening of his songwriting mastery is almost tangible isn’t it? So inspiring.
The latest Gorillaz Album was shite
You think this is better then tender, beetlebum,so f 2? You need ears fixed! This is just Noah and the whales
@@MrThedonhead was wondering if I was the only one really underwhelmed, almost Coldplay to my ears lol I liked quite a few off the last album
new to Blur and genuinely thought this track was one of their classics. Great tune.
They're back. I'm emotional. It's divine.
ok i legit cried rivers during the first few seconds of the video, the first line, the mirror and the reflection of the clown totally got to me. this song couldn't come out at a better time, i was having the worst day ever and it lifted me up. music really does save lives. i will forever be grateful to all of you members of blur damon graham alex and dave thank you thank you thank you
Sending positive energy my dear… ❤
Hang in there dude, stay strong. Blur are shining that light back on you 👌👍
I got good vibes on here when my mum died after posting about her on a blur video, passing it forward, hope you feel better, keep the chin up. xx
Prayers your way 😊
First play I quite liked it, second play I love it. Damon Albarn's discography is insane, some musicians struggle with one album every 4 years, he's been pumping them out for decades.
This beats anything from Magic Whip, such a great track. That pre chorus and chorus just soars. It's so beautiful - then you have the outro - Masterpiece.
I didn't like it at all the first time (I thought it sounded like Coldplay/The Stereophonics) but second time around I fell in love. So poignant.
A musicians musician.
@@Alpha_7227 It doesn't beat anything from Magic Whip. They're both good in different ways.
@@damienx0x Fair call, I do still love If I was a spaceman.
Well, it made this late middle-aged man feel good about life... whilst wiping away a nostalgic tear. Sounds fresh and beautiful, thank you very much.
At 45 so good to feel like I was in my 20's. Blur nailed it with this song ❤️
I feel the same in my late 50's!
Well I wasn't expecting this today. What a fantastic song.
I was
Only God knows how I'm grateful for these 4 guys. Without them I'd not have been here. If I'm the happy woman of today with 2 beautiful children is thanks to them. They helped me in the worst period of my childhood. They've been the only friend I had. My safe place. I love you and I'll always will!
Stessa cosa per me❤ sarò a Lucca il 22 luglio a morire di emozione per loro
beautifully said... I understand.
Lyrics are brilliant... I can only think Damon (assuming he wrote them) has experienced a relationship with a narcissist... Evokes so much... So accurate ... Anyone whos been there, will know... And if you haven't... Count yourself fortunate...
I could not tear myself away
Became addiction
If you see darkness, please, turn away!
I would shine a light in your eyes... You'll always shine it back on me...
Thankfully, i wont fall for it again.
I'm not an expert, but this is my guess.. the word Narcissist comes from the Greek story about Narcissus, he was very vain and would look at his reflection every time he passed a pool of water. The god turned him into a flower (Daffodil, which is also called narcissus). The flower looks like a person looking down (sort of).. So the word Narcissist back in the old days used to just mean a vain person looking at himself in the mirror. Over time, it evolved into the super negative word it is today.. So the way I took this song, the singer is talking to his reflection in the mirror.. he says he will shine a light in your eyes, you'll probably shine it back on me".. because he's talking to his reflection, reflecting on life.. maybe I'm 100% wrong, but that's my guess.
That’s how I like to take it. I’m exiting a year-long relationship with a Covert Narc. It’s so bad…you don’t know till you know (hopefully y’all reading this don’t someday)… And even by then you may be not ready to “go”… Once you’ve had real feelings for the person.
I’ll prevail stronger and much wiser from this mess. All she had on me was emotional leverage. That’s it. She really was/isn’t that smart when you consider the warped logic she possesses. Computing her arguments were like trying to listen to anything inside a tornado.
After googling what Rubato is, I gained insight into why the song didn't click on the first listening, but grows on you the more you repeat it. When you expect things from the song, it throws you off. When you have learnt it, the jive just flows.
Can you explain what it means rubato and your insight?
Aw, the band of my life! Damon and Co are always there, whatever phase of life I'm in. They've meant so much to me since I was 13, and I'm now 42, with three kids and dealing with grief (for which this song is the perfect accompaniment). To say they're "my Beatles" would be an understatement.
Word for word,,,, it's as if I wrote it. ❤
wow when you were 13 they already were on their third album and a lot of story.. and I thought I was a fan for a long time
I totally agree!
from japan
I’m 42 too. Anniversary of my best friends death today. No kids, but I totally resonate with this 💗
Undestand...now i have 44....
No lo puedo creer, regresaron cuando más los necesito... Gracias Blur 🤍
They just bump out an absolute classic every decade or so. This is as good as anything they have ever done. Fair play to them.
th-cam.com/video/LXqBcErbx1I/w-d-xo.html
I always said it; Blur were better than Oasis.
Their music constantly evolved.
So much so they are still making brilliant music after all this time.
Longevity is a sign of true talent.
Nah but I respect it
In your opinion
?
I love Blur, this song is fantastic, they aren't as good as Oasis though, not close.
In reality it's just totally different ballparks. They don't write the same kind of songs or even have a similar sound for that matter. Blur doesn't have anywhere near the hits-per-album as Oasis does. Not by any longshot, deepcuts, or fan favorites. This song tho? Phenomenal.
@@Epmd419👌👏
Good to hear new music from Blur.
IKR
La voz de Damon,la guitarra de Graham,el bajo de Alex,La batería de Dave,todo es perfecto, muchas gracias por la nueva canción,los extrañe mucho 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Fue demasiado el tiempo. Y volvieron siendo ellos mismos.
Ay, qué bien 😊 💖💖💖💖 qué regalo 🎁
Me emocione oír a Blur como eran antes, ese clásico sonido , con el disco anterior que no sentí el sonido de Blur pero acá si, lo mismo me paso con Think Tank , desde el álbum 13 hacia atrás siempre los seguí pero acá volví a oír al viejo Blur
@@T--cu5pp pero magic whip es una joya..... un viaje
Love this song, it's gorgeous.
2:02 oh wow the guitar in this it just… i cant explain it it feels nostalgic in a way with a smooth comforting feel to it. Gotta love this song as a whole 💚
Coxon never disappoints.
On the one hand, this shouldn't be a suprise because of the tour, that they have annouced. On the other hand, it's still good to see them back together, creating new songs. Will wait for the new album with anticipation. Cheers!
I'm surprised we're getting a blur and gorillaz album in the same year
it is a surprise indeed, they tour back in 2009 without an album
Is there definitely a new album coming?
@@BT-kc3ee 100%. I've just pre-ordered it plus some album merch. The cover and tracklist have been released!
@@lbukem4259 nice!
Blur always knows how to create Pop songs, the chorus proves it! This song is addictive with Damon's voice! :)
Masters at work...
It is masterful in the simplicity but efficacy. The rythm of the lead vocal makes a lot i find. The switch to the chorus is wonderful.
the chorus has been in my head all week
BTS ARMY discovering Blur is amazing! I'm so happy! As a fan of Blur for 25+ years, and an ARMY since 2019, my heart is full!!! 😘
Blur and Suede are active and great 30+ years on. A minor miracle, that.
Love it. Beautiful melancholy.
Spot on❤️
ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO WAY OMG IM LITERALLY SHAKING
From another aging artist in the mediums of dance and theater, I say. "Congratulations! Steady on and continue making relevant and beautiful art with the insight of maturity and wisdom!"
Omg so in love with this song, I'm turning 40 soon and maybe it's because I'm older or wiser but whatever it is music hasn't really called to me in a while. This song, it's just right, its got me excited for the album like I haven't been for anything musically in a long time. I wish I had my Philips Walkman for it!!!!
I LOVE THAT WE HAVE GRAHAM’S VOICE AGAIN
The Damon Albarn fans always be eating so good
No matter what year it is, he's always dropping something.
He's a genius
Never been a blur fan but this song is genius
No importa cuanto tiempo se fueron, la pausa no cuenta, cuando regresan con este pedazo de canción que nos hace sentir como cuando el tiempo se detiene. Blur esta de regreso con su sonido peculiar y espectacular.
Muy verdad.
Simplicity at its best and most honest way.Feels like I’ve been transported back to my 90s teenage years!
So good to have new music and what a fantastic track. I was never a massive Blur fan in my youth but have grown to love them with age. Graham Coxon is my guitar hero :)
Coxon is such a unique talent
Oh Fxxx, thought it was just me.
Nothing's blurred out anymore with this beautiful song. Thanks a million for this peaceful and melancholic moment Damon, Graham, Alex and Dave 💙🖤💜
keep coming back to this .. tuuunnne , they never fail to deliver quality music .. sounds vintage but familiar
Меня переполняют эмоции, и я не знаю, как их выразить
Я люблю Blur где-то с подросткового возраста. Я веселилась вместе с ними, грустила, преодолевала трудности; не думала, что новый альбом вообще будет.
Я счастлива услышать ребят вновь, они звучат более зрелыми, я бы даже сказала, взрослыми, теми взрослыми, которые любят эту жизнь и принимают от неë всë.
Каждая песня буквально трогает меня за душу.
Спасибо вам, ребята за то, что Вы есть и продолжаете радовать своих поклонников, просто спасибо
Beautifully said mate!
дадададада 😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Целиком и полностью поддерживаю 😉😉😉👍👋
Путин великий царь! Россия победит!

Heard this song for the first time this morning on the radio on my way to work. It instantly caught my attention! I will have to say I really, really like it. A LOT!!!
Song of the year
I think so too
Sure. ????? Dj sharing.
Those backing vocals are really heartwarming.
Thanks.
This song is so amazing
The first time i heard it i wasnt sure, but after a few listens it sounds as good as you would expect from Blur, it's a grower
It's pretty catchy right off the bat. You could say it's also a shower
Never really listened to Blur, but man I can't stop listening to this song. Don't know why, but I really like it

내 인생의 그룹 블러가 온다... Big love from Korea!!
Aún no la he escuchado y ya la amo. Los amo. Me alegra escucharlos de vuelta, no saben lo feliz que me hace tener a Blur de regreso
literalmente estoy llorando
Sorpresas de la vida que te hacen feliz🎉🎉🎉🎉
A song that is very catchy, that’s for sure. Always loved Blur, so many underrated hits
Damon, or anyone else from the band, I doubt you'll see this, but here goes.
I am codependent. A while ago, I dated my first narcissist. Took everything from me. All of my money, friends, my car (she crashed it) yada yada. I've been slowly rebuilding my life but finding a job has been challenging without a car. I've loved gorillaz since the first album. Had that shit in my Walkman every day. Dracula remains my favorite song of yours.
I just wanted to let you know that your lyrics here describe what it's like perfectly. The melancholy, the always trying to "figure them out", all of that. The hope spots, the up and down, the back and forth.
I am also a surf fisherman, so getting back to the waves to experience love, that line piques me so much. She never let me go out there. Always found excuses.
I want to say that I won't forget either. Godspeed, next time I swear I'll pay attention to the signs. They might be chameleons, but nobody on that dark triad will ever be able to fool me ever again.
Thank you for continuing to produce absolutely awesome music. I used to make electronica, but my stuff was too experimental. I didn't want to compromise my art to make money. I have no idea how artists of your caliber balance that, but the results of that balancing act are amazing.
I also want to say that if you wrote this song because you were damaged by a narcissist, stay strong. The healing process is long and complicated but you will get through it. Every day the sun rises without you next to them is another day of freedom.
It really, really, really did happen... a new Blur album! 😃😃😃
Blur are so adaptable to the times, they’ve been going 30 years and are still pumping out songs people want to listen to, love them and can’t wait for Wembley ❤
I've been listening to this song for the past month since it came out now and I am just so happy that Blur is releasing new music!
I thought that after The Magic Whip, that was it and there wouldn't be anymore. Looks like I was proved wrong! I absolutely love this along with previous works and finding out all the very underrated tracks from the deluxe albums that I've been discovering for the past year now.
I'm excited for the new album and even though I won't be able to fly to England and see Blur at the Wembley or anywhere else in Europe, I'll at least have the new album and the new memories I'll make with the songs. Glad to have you back, Blur! ❤
me encanta, la primera vez que veo nuevo material de blur, llegué apenas a escuchar sus discos en 2021 asi que emoción ver un nuevo álbum en camino
Me pasó igual, es la primera vez que estoy ante el anuncio de un Álbum suyo y estoy feliz porque pensé que nunca pasaría 🥺
que suerte conocerles por primera vez
yo literal los empeze a escuchar hace 2 semanas y me encanta lo que hacen, que suerte que tengo que justo deciden sacar nueva musica!
They're back and this is the best thing that could've happened to me. Thank you Blur, i will always love you💜
My current favourite song ❤ I can't tell how many times I've listened to this! Great to see and hear Blur back 😊
God I love this song 'Legacy Blur and current' at the same time - melancholic yet equally uplifting....at the same time! Genius
maravillosa canción, estoy llorando de emoción 😭

I appreciate blur wrting their songs steadily.. I feel wonderful how they create many different of songs IT’S INCREDIBLE!!
I hope they keep on writing songs like this.. and support them always,,
And I hope I can see their concert in Korea 🇰🇷🇰🇷
블러 내한해 🎉
60 days I listen to the narcissist I don't feel bored at all, a song that has very deep meaning for me with music that is so sentimental, the lyrics enter my head so I sing along with Damon's voice and maybe this song is very related to everyone including me.
This song is a masterpiece! Can't wait for the new album! 🙌💙🩶🖤
this is a special song - has something magical in the way it builds and moves - the guitar stabs are so good
this is like a glorious alt-rock version of Dancing In The Dark by Bruce Springsteen. It lifts the melody almost entirely.
No, no it's not.
Also reminds me of Whole of the Moon.
I love Blur.
One of the greatest bands ever.
This song feels like that is already a classic
En una industria musical casi hechada a perder, con productos prefabricados, hechos al vapor, esta canción es como una bocanada de aire fresco, es oro puro, muchas gracias Blur por regresar y darle sentido a esto.
Esa diferencia la hace tener a musicos profesionales versus a mediocres exponentes del autotune.
ahora es la mejor época en cuanto a proyectos interesantes, que existe un monopolio es diferente
@@zeitok8 en esta época tenemos la movida del post brexit como Black Midi o Black Country New Road que son proyectos de calidad altísima. Solo que la gente es perezosa para buscar y se queda en el mainstream
Utterly beautiful new song. What a fantastic gift from an incredible band. I can't wait to see them together again at Wembley this summer.
Me too
A touch of Bill Fay/music hall/Bacharach. Splendid x and those backing vocals, oh my days ❤
Struggling to think of a better single in the last ten years. Something about Damon`s voice just gets you. Beautiful
The blend of guitar layers, bass, drums and the vocal harmonies are exceptional. Blur just keep on progressing and evolving.
God I fucking love this band.
The new album cover is a masterpiece. It simultaneously references their first four album covers AND, I would argue, the incredible 1968 film “The Swimmer”. If you’ve seen that movie, you’ll get what I’m saying. If this new album cover isn’t a reference to that movie, it’s an amazing coincidence.
This song tears me to pieces..it's so beautifully painful
I find it hard to connect to new music these days. This song has grabbed me and keeps puling me back in. Love it.
Love this song, it's on repeat at the moment.
If ever there was a cautionary song of the nature of the relationship between artist and audience, and how it can evolve with gained wisdom into a more healthy beauty, then this is it. A host of golden daffodils need all the clouds that they can get.
Poétique et subtil
Did you feel a third axis there in the lyrics?
I am not saying God. But perhaps an awareness of “otherness” that Damon detects and fears.
If so, while it’s good to turn away from evil, there’s an even more powerful direction yet.
@@GT380man I feel that he is intimating that we are all reflections of one another, and with that realisation the ego becomes sublimated into a greater consciousness, an "otherness" as you succinctly put it. I'm not sure that it's perceived from a source of fear, but I could well be wrong. I'm curious, please elucidate further.
I absolutely love every era of Blur.
If you see darkness look away. That line is just with me now. i have listened like i did as a teen over the last month, daily, sometimes repeated. I do wish i had that line with me since i was a teen though, what a difference it could have made.
Amen, Brother.
Yes!! Can't wait for the rest of the album!!!!
I can
So many comebacks by bands down the years. By far the best is Blur. Wonderful
One of the most instantly likeable blur songs. The best writers get better as the years pass , you just know so much more
This sounded AMAZING live at Wembley, like its always been around, pure Blur sound. Welcome back gents. ❤
Por fin han vuelto y todavía tienen esa chispa que hacen que sus canciones sean de otro mundo, estoy en verdad emocionado por ver que más nos traen en su nuevo álbum ❤
Sabes que me paso lo mismo, soy un viejo fans de Blur y sentí esa chispa de sonido que es de ellos, es increíble que sigan deleitándonos , saludos
