One of the things I've always loved about Blur is ALEX. He always looks SO cool whenever he is on stage or performing or in video, just standing there all refined and hardly moving, and looking above it all like he doesn't give a s***, usually with a cigarette and his hair over his eyes. He's fascinating.
One of the things that impressed me when a I was a teenager on the 90s is How High Damon can jump..amazing..hahahaha,..and I remember seeing this video again.
Love the chorus , where he sings .. “Yes , they’re stereotypes, there must be more to life” .. then it sounds like they go into a completely different song wtf.
I recorded an episode of Top of the Pops and this was on there. One of my earliest memories when I was 5/6 was jumping around with my brother on the bed to this
IMO The Great Escape is the best Blur album. A lot of people dismissed it as too misanthropic and yeah, with tracks like this, 'Best Days', 'He Thought Of Cars', and the absolute pinnacle of human hatred 'Entertain Me' it's easy to see why. But that's the beauty of it, I love how dark it gets truly a beautiful album.
hot take... the only thing good about that album is how well they play their instruments, specially the bass lines are killer.. but the lyrics and themes are too edgy. looks like a teenager trying to criticize everyone he sees as 'wrong', how the society is 'wrong' and blablabla know-it-all... Damon still does it from time to time to be honest
i dont think i have ever loved someone so much! or had such a hard time knowing which one i love more Damon! or Graham! but wow Damon in this... wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd completely forgotten about this song until it played as I was walking home. I hadn't heard it for nearly thirty years when it used to play at the fast food restaurant I worked at when I was in uni. Now I'm obsessed with it and missing the days working at a fast food restaurant. Fun times! We were permanently smashed and/or high.
Bangin' tune, bangin' album. My uncle bough me the album for one of my birthdays when this album was fresh, i was about 10 or 11, when I got older I appreciated it more.
So here's my thing 1994 Park life I was 21 and dating this very hot 28 yr old , recently divorced and keen to teach . I am not 100% sure why but That album just seemed such a slab of ' English life, but with fun times Bank Holiday, Girls N boys , Early 95 now single, I get my life together, and go back to college then The Great Escape comes out and it REALLY feels like the party is over, so many songs on the sad side of society for this track, to better days, fade away unrelenting in unlikable characters Top Man, Charmless man etc BUT I love it. I live in Ireland now and I think only Blur and The Kinks make me feel homesick, such a slice of English life, wether seedy, heartbreaking or unlikable, English none the less. Great band
@@tomgat6314 yeah but they never seem to get as much love as anyone else in a band. normally from the bands i listen to, the guitarist and singer are the most popular and nobody seems to know there’s a drummer.
Estoy repasando/descubriendo la obra de Blur a horas de verlos por primera vez en el Primavera Sound 2023 Buenos Aires: no puede ser tanta hermosura tan legendaria y noventosa por el amor de dios no puedo parar de tener pieldegallina y lloriquear con estos muchachos, diossanto que banda por dios. Cómovoyallorar este domingo.
Don't worry, you're not alone. It's happening the same to me. I've always loved Country house for instance. But is now that truly felt in love with them
Hannah Nowell This is maybe only relevant to maybe the first album and a few songs afterwards. There's a lot of depth in most of their songs. You must have only heard a few of the singles or something. Otherwise, I don't know how someone can think this.
lol, i forgot all about this video. It was shot in the Autumn of 1995 in the Gmex arena Manchester... I was there, it was my first "proper" gig. I was obsesed with blur and it was so i exciting. I was just a chubby 15 year old derp, lol. I remember the signs around the arena telling us that "this evenings performance will be featured on Blurs next video"... I got myself on the front row hoping to be seen... But no :( I did get to finger some bird in the toilets though... Thanks Blur :D
One of my bands in the 90s were "Yen" and our sound was into Albarn-Coxon style, although we've been fed with 60s from Gerry and Pacemakers to Electric Prunes. So was 1995 when Yen played hits like "Disillusion", "Pathetic", "Patio Pat", "Goodbye" and was right before Blur released "Country House" when we played "Calypso". Our surprise was when we've got "Great Escape" album and "Stereotypes" was just like our song. Maybe a coincidence coz Damon and I have the same age and both n2 cartoon tunes
This song has always felt quite weird to me in terms of Blur's overall discography. It kinda sounds like a prototype to the songs they'd make in 1996 that lead to the release of their 1997 self-titled album...especially songs like All We Want. Yet at the same time, it's smothered in that britpoppy, third-person lyrical style, and wacky, comic sounds and rhythms. It's like they're trying to make a darker, rougher, less commercial song, but at the same time are clinging to their Parklife ideals.
Each album they try to make different from the last. For this album it was tough because they were making the great escape album in the peak of the parklife album’s popularity. They were still on that high and had a tougher time trying to break from their successful zz-ish vibe(which was probably enforced thru the pressures of the record label).
Esta canción me fascina. Vi Blur el 26 de febrero de 1996 en Madrid, España. Sala la Riviera. Uno de los mejores momentos de mis 44 años❤ Blur son los jefazos. Para los fanáticos de Damon después fue Gorillaz
I keep going on Blur marathons before I go to sleep.
ME TOO 🧚♀️
That is exactly what I’m doing right now
frickin true
*A WHOLE ASS MOOD*
Same

Couldn't have put it any better! That's exactly what I was trying to say, shorthand! Thank you ! He really IS!!
CandMe222 when they played in sydney ( the other day) he literally just walked out in shorts and bare feet! IN F*CKING WINTER!
CandMe222 -_______-
Brlliant! He is a class act of his own :)
Exactly! He's my fav
One of the most underrated Blur songs
Noah Willmer no
So people are deaf or stupid or both
It's easily one if there best imo.
Fascinante
Definitely not
One of the things that impressed me when a I was a teenager on the 90s is How High Damon can jump..amazing..hahahaha,..and I remember seeing this video again.
Boy had mad adhd back then
Man, Dave seriously gets no love. He rocks the drums.
Drummers are underrated
He's the only one that lives a normal life in the band I think works for the police force now
Actually he is an attorney
Apollo the band
What about Alex. He makes cheese 🧀
Watch Blurs interview with Nardwuar you wont like dave after that
Damon is like the loveliest guy to walk the face of the earth man
he j u m p
He jump oh so high
sad lad he jumps his cares away
Did you mean "He's so high"?
Nepodstatný člověk great reference lol
Damon: *acting like an absolute crackhead*
The rest of blur: “don’t worry this is normal.”
Why’s this true?
i cant describe how much i love blur
everyone loves damon.... but what about graham'?? he is pretty hot with that akward look
Melissa Garcia GOD GRAHAM COULD SLAP ME
@veevyo can i marry ur cousin serious question
graham has always been my favorite. i think i may have a thing for guys who look dead on the inside LOL
yeah same opinion, that akward face
i love himm
This is definetly my favourite song of Blur. Moments like watching this video make me wish I lived in the 90s
1:22 it was so sweet omg-
wow so weird everyone a different genertaion to ours
1:21 when he does the eye roll thing 😩😍
Few people can doubt my heterosexuality. well Damon is one of those people
Lmaoo
why can't i have a time machine?!
THISSSSSSSSSSSSS
Omg YES RIGHT?!?
Stick Damon Albarn in it
Yeah
People never change haha
Love the chorus , where he sings .. “Yes , they’re stereotypes, there must be more to life” .. then it sounds like they go into a completely different song wtf.
At like 2:00 right
that's my least favourite thing about the song... the break sounds kinda kitsch
I recorded an episode of Top of the Pops and this was on there. One of my earliest memories when I was 5/6 was jumping around with my brother on the bed to this
Awesome memory

I also prefer way more The Great Escape than Parklife. 13 is fave of them though
hot take... the only thing good about that album is how well they play their instruments, specially the bass lines are killer.. but the lyrics and themes are too edgy. looks like a teenager trying to criticize everyone he sees as 'wrong', how the society is 'wrong' and blablabla know-it-all... Damon still does it from time to time to be honest
2:07 haha it's like they're trying to confuse people that it's buffering :D
+Suze97 just fits with the song
I'm pretty sure when they did this video back in the 90s, it was for MTV and they had no idea of the world problem of internet lagging.
I'm obsessed with Damon!! seriously is very beautiful!!
he's so ENERGETIC..
Damon Albarn is so funny when he acts hyperactive in this video.
0:32 i would've screamed if i was there
yo I’d THX sound for real
hahahaha x2
Omg I am uncomfortable
i dont think i have ever loved someone so much! or had such a hard time knowing which one i love more Damon! or Graham! but wow Damon in this... wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best band in UK ever! They are just sooo talented. I still love this song that is one of the most fantastic tuens from their early era.
The cure is better
Oasis clears
20 years later and I think this song is their best out of their 6-7 albums. Even better than my fave Beetlebum back then.
the part at 0:47-0:55 is the best
Matt M no, 0:00-3:11**
I have yet to scream “MARRY ME DAMON” at a concert
Always thought Damon looks very pretty when he jumps around like that
I'd completely forgotten about this song until it played as I was walking home. I hadn't heard it for nearly thirty years when it used to play at the fast food restaurant I worked at when I was in uni.

Hey guys!! This song is perfect. Damon´s voice is so gorgeous.
I'm so gay for Damon
Nah, you're just gay.
@@christyjia8449 who wouldnt when it comes to Damon 🤣

Nope.

Blur, it rocks. A concentrate of talent !
Love the enthusiasm that Damon Albarn has in this video.
SEXY DAMON!!!!

Freaking love when Alex shakes his hair 🥰
1:13 WTF HE DOIN.
Bro it's 1 am for me yet here I am listening to blur bc I'm absolutely bloody addicted

If Damon gets any more hyper he's going to blow up on stage
0:30-0:36 omgggggg
hell yeah damon albarn Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.....
0:31 im yelling

Unpopular comment: drummers are always underrated.
steward cooperland, John Bonham, Keith Moon?
lotta people loves them (me too)?
@@tomgat6314 yeah but they never seem to get as much love as anyone else in a band. normally from the bands i listen to, the guitarist and singer are the most popular and nobody seems to know there’s a drummer.
@@tomgat6314 roger taylor
travis barker?
Grohl? Phil Collins? (ugh)
the part at 1:13 wtf Damon xD
oh no
he’s getting into it
1:22 💀
Definitely my fav blur song

I love them so much 😭
1:26 i die
What a tune!
I need this 4K!
Underrated song
I love all of them and all their songs too. Even thought I have not got into all of them yet.
Blur showed you can be popular by singing random stuff in songs and not taking yourself seriously!
all the songs have a meaning, wtf are u talking about man
Did you see the universal?
Leonardo. Yeah that's about the future
Hannah Nowell This is maybe only relevant to maybe the first album and a few songs afterwards. There's a lot of depth in most of their songs. You must have only heard a few of the singles or something. Otherwise, I don't know how someone can think this.
You mean Oasis?
One of their best 🔥🔥🔥

I did get to finger some bird in the toilets though... Thanks Blur :D
lmao at the ending i was not expecting
I love this song!!
this is a masterpiece !

Banging then now and forever ❤❤❤❤
The GREATEST Band in the Universal!! Damon is soo beatiful , yet Alex is just so FRIGGIN cool amd calm !!

It's like they're trying to make a darker, rougher, less commercial song, but at the same time are clinging to their Parklife ideals.
Interesting observation!
I know what you mean - feels like they could go deeper into what they’re trying to say but aren’t for the sake of mainstream. Still a belter x
Hi guys !
Each album they try to make different from the last. For this album it was tough because they were making the great escape album in the peak of the parklife album’s popularity. They were still on that high and had a tougher time trying to break from their successful zz-ish vibe(which was probably enforced thru the pressures of the record label).
basically, it's "Tame" but happier, then...
Why it has few views? This is an epic song.
I dont understand how does this have almost 2 mln views but ONLY 15K LIKES?!!?!?! THIS SONG IS SO GOOD
Why didnt he just enter the Olympics those jumps are fucking HIGH
You know bro, i'm near Moscow wath born and lliving hear, we love Daimon..from 90's , and now...
love this song
Awoke with this in my head 😎
saddens me Damon dislikes this album so much. Their finest work
vivo con este dolor llamado nunca podre ir a un concierto de blur
HAPPY 1 MILLION VIEWS
10K OF THEM ARE PROBABLY MINE
same XD
Same x2
we were all so young, so naive and so high...... good old days....
No one jumped as high or as often as Damon in the 90s.
Classic
goddamn! blur is great!

God i want to see them live more than anything!
DA did a crowd-dive on top of me at Birmingham NEC circa 1995 - so funny.
jesus christ I'm so tired of people commenting on how attractive the band members are. Enjoy the music for a change, please!
Irony at its finest: an everlasting smile.
Damon is just so damn PERFECT!!! Like WTF!!
