@@ronanogrady7305 as much as I love Coxon Albarn's songwriting was a perfect foyle to Coxon's unorthodox playing. They were and are a match made in heaven.
Only the Brits could come up with a hybrid of Bluegrass, Blues, Gospel and a soccer crowd chant, put it all together and create absolute magic. It's a mystery to me, but this is a timeless classic in ALL of those genres. Incredible.
@@JOGAMIGMOG not only the British but the whole around the world too, even i'm from Indonesia we called it football too on english language and football is the most popular sport in here (except Americans and Canadian who call it soccer)
The best moment is @ 1:44 when Jimmy goes for that high harmony and Damon recognizes it, smiles, and Jimmy glances over to see that he appreciates it. Good shit my man.
Jimmy is really hitting those high notes that I love in this song...jimmy lived the dream, singing tender with blur... Sitting by Damon and seeing Graham smile... Ugh
I love this version of Tender so much. There's just so much positive energy in the room and everyone in it looks like they're having the time of their lives. Every time I listen to this performance I can't help but sing along and bob my head to the beat.
I remember when it came out. Everyone recognised it as Damon doing what he always does: latching onto the latest band he loved, in this case Spiritualized, and engaging in a kind of Blur-y homage. I think it's a bit of a weak song, but I still think he's a brilliant songwriter.
They're laughing because that's the start of a second take. Someone (presumably Jimmy) must have messed up. If you look a few seconds earlier at 2:21 there's a very obvious edit between two takes.
@@NOWtheband Tender came out pretty soon after Spiritualized released their biggest album and it had a great big gospel choir singing in the background. The homage was pretty clear at the time. Damon mentioned it himself.
A couple months ago I fell asleep on my couch and woke up to a rerun of a Tonight Show episode featuring Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. I googled High Flying Birds to find the song they played on the show, which led me to TH-cam, which led me to this video, which has not only reignited my love for Blur, but taken it to a whole new level. I've spent the last two months devouring every Blur performance, interview, article, music video, and film I can get my hands on, and I've got tickets now to see Damon perform in Iceland in March. I think 800 of the most recent views of this video were mine. Thank you, Jimmy!
Grunge and other genres were much more popular at that time. Unfortunately they had no chance, especially because of how unapologetically British their music was
5 years later I still come back to this video as per the happiness and joy that making music brings and the beauty of being alive. It’s such a great version of this song
Tender is one of many many global underrated songs by Blur... I remember I was in Cardiff mid 90s, song like Tender, Universal, Parklife and many others dominated U.K. air and space. The best BritPop band ever (slightly better than Oasis)
Tough to compare damon and noel. Both are genius. You listen tender and feel damon is genius and then you listen slide away and feel noel is!! Its so tough man!
This is the first time I've felt literal envy for Jimmy Fallon. He looks like he was having the best of times. This is one of the band's most beautiful songs.
When Ewan Mcgregor appeared as a guest in Jimmy Fallon show, said he watched this clip! I love so much Blur and Jimmy. The coolest people on the earth.
It's awesome that in four comments one after another I see every comment describing another member of Blur, it's awesome how this band sound excellent because of work of everyone and not because there's one or two good musicians. There are four great musicians making music together and I feel Blur would not be so great without any one person in the band. In their music it doesn't matter if you listen more to the vocals, gitar, bass or percussion, or the way the music is written, or additional sounds, or lyrics. There are no weak points. This music is equal and full of harmony.
Not seen this before, absolutely awesome, grew up with blur oasis etc,.........plus also agree with the other comment that Graham Coxon is a very talented guitarist, and doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.
First time i heard this song was in a summer tv series in year 2000 called Young Americans. Good ol days. I was just 13. I am 37 now. Beautiful band, beautiful song.
This *is* better than the recorded version. I love Jimmy, he makes you feel like you are actually sitting at this jam session. I always watch this video when I need a pick me up.
Always felt this song was underrated. Coxon's guitar catches the eye... looks like he bought it off Skeletor from He-Man. Jimmy looks like he won a competition and can't believe hes there during that first minute. It's a great version of a great song.
There are so many aspects to this that I love! Jimmy Fallon, a certified Blur fan. Jamming with Blur! The brilliance of the performance. The absolute greatness of that song, those lyrics! From an Irishman to Blur I say....... Go Raibh Mile Maith Agat. That means THANK YOU VERY MUCH
This is why I'll always stick up for Fallon. He's like Conan in that he is very passionate about music, has great taste and has musical talent too. Both of them play guitar for example.
Isn’t that just magic! There is only a few songs that I am in love with, this on and SOS by Abba and the start of super stylin at the Hollywood Bowl with Groove Armada. Take care. See you on the Battlefield. X
Blur I think are still a criminally underrated band,Damon in years to come will be talked about like mc cartney and Brian wilson,everything he does is different and brilliant, a true innovator...
100% agree. Why they're so ignored by the rock community I really don't understand. It truly baffles me. The more I listen to their music, the better it gets. Each member is a very talented musician and Damon's a terrific songwriter
Not sure either. They didn’t suffer an XTC and stop touring right before they got big... When I ask other Americans about blur, they either: - ask who’s that, or - say “oh you mean the woohoo guys”
That moment when something magical comes up in your feed🥰🥰🥰...how have I never seen this??? ETA: Shout out to the backup singers for being incredibly on point!!
Wow. Never saw this before. One of my favourite blur songs for years. Never knew the Americans loved this as much. Fair play to Fallon, he's enjoying himself immensely. And he can really do those high note yelps
I've always loved this song, and I think Blur are a great band. And the added vocalists on this one absolutely make the song. They give it the lift on on the chorus and the coda. I wish I knew their names and where I could find more of their music.

@@jesssmith9176I feel there's actually love there ❤️🤘🏻
It's probably the best thing Jimmy has ever done.
and will ever do. Yep.
seeing graham smiling like that is bringing me to tears
I’ve never seen this. Respect to Fallon, being 98% of his audience have no clue who Blur is.
i'm sorry for his audience... they are really really good, you should listen to them!
Agree. Am neutral on Fallon, but his absolute love of music and geeking out to not so popular bands in the US is cool
You missed out buddy on one of the best UK bands of the era
@@soshuldistansingh2629 world too
To be fair, don't they always play Blur's Song 2 when someone scores a goal in their american sports? Woo- hoo!
Jimmy is really hitting those high notes that I love in this song...jimmy lived the dream, singing tender with blur... Sitting by Damon and seeing Graham smile... Ugh
This is like when Paul Rudd got to play with Elbow, he actually freaked out like a superfan
For reallllll I am so jealous of Jimmy in this video
I love this version of Tender so much. There's just so much positive energy in the room and everyone in it looks like they're having the time of their lives. Every time I listen to this performance I can't help but sing along and bob my head to the beat.

damn you can't even say you like the VERSION of a song without someone showing up to criticize your choice... let people have their preferences!

Damon looking to Graham as if to say "holy shit that harmony was unexpected"
Exactly !
They're laughing because that's the start of a second take. Someone (presumably Jimmy) must have messed up. If you look a few seconds earlier at 2:21 there's a very obvious edit between two takes.
If this doesn't make you smile you're not human
I think this is the happiest, coolest and most laid-back version of the song. Jimmy looks like a fifth member of the band...way to go! 🤘
He's the 5th Blurtle?
@@champ10ns08 Haha
he also SOUNDS like a fifth member - those "waiting for that feeeeeee-ling"s are amazing
They are all connected😍
HOW DID I MISS THIS FOR FOUR YEARS
ME TOO!🤣🤣
same 🤷🏽♀️
Same here sis🧐🧐
Same here.
this makes me happy beyond words.
Your pic says it all
Always rated Damon as one of those artist that changes with the times and will be around for many many moons to come. What a great guy.
I've just sang the whole song.....with them, I felt included in that room. That was crazy
That sounds so trippy man. Your mental state definitely put you there in the room. Wouldn't surprise me if you had been high.
@@fercho2040 nah you just don't understand music
This video is the definition of "Wholesome".
This is their "Hey Jude." Awesome all around! Graham always blows me away!
You should check out the band this basically ripped off('paid homage to' might be kinder): Spiritualized.
@@thesprawl2361 - Oh yeah! I hadn't thought that before but I reckon you're right. :-)

Blur are so damn good, can't believe they never became a household name in America. They don't know what they're missing!!
Grunge and other genres were much more popular at that time. Unfortunately they had no chance, especially because of how unapologetically British their music was
They made the song “song 2” as a parody and it got famous in american lol
@@noursarhan8695 yep, too British to make it in America. Like The Kinks.
Well, this American has always loved them. This song is so simple, but I can't listen to it without singing along.
as an american, i totally agree. i discovered blur about a year ago and they’ve become my favorite band.
Graham’s smiling 💕 and Damon’s legit being the cutest man on Earth again
5 years later I still come back to this video as per the happiness and joy that making music brings and the beauty of being alive. It’s such a great version of this song
7 yrs on and yes, damn straight! This one video explains everything there is to say about why music is so awesome and essential ❤x
being as chill as Alex slapping that bass is my life's goal
Tender is one of many many global underrated songs by Blur... I remember I was in Cardiff mid 90s, song like Tender, Universal, Parklife and many others dominated U.K. air and space. The best BritPop band ever (slightly better than Oasis)
Everything is underrated apparently
Tough to compare damon and noel. Both are genius. You listen tender and feel damon is genius and then you listen slide away and feel noel is!! Its so tough man!
Reverse it. Oasis slightly better than blur. Blur didn’t write live forever so they just can’t be better
I remember being in a pub in England, (I'm from the US), and the entire bar started singing Parklife. Just an unforgettable moment.
Alex thinks he's the coolest one in the room, and Graham's happy to let him keep thinking it.
Seeing musicians enjoying themselves is one of my pleasures in life. This is magic, and everyone there knows it.
Wow its 2020 and I've just stumbled on this amazing collaboration. Where have I been?
If this video would have stayed on Fallon's channel, it would have 10 million views by now...
It's nice to see Alex as he once was, before cheese ravaged him
Lives in a house, a very big house in the country (making cheese and voting conservative)
@@dickshneeze4566 you know Blur were a middle class band right? Where is the shock at the Tory slight?
@@dickshneeze4566 nothing wrong with either of those choices
Lenny Cook Damon is very left, pretty sure Graham is too and as for Dave? He’s a member of the Labour Party haha
mookrage of course not vote who u wanna vote for lmao
This song gives me life in this time of utter misery and death and desperation. Thank you Blur
This is the first time I've felt literal envy for Jimmy Fallon. He looks like he was having the best of times. This is one of the band's most beautiful songs.
When Fallon just loves a bloody good tune..enjoyed this.
Blur are amazing

Jimmy gave his heart here.
The vibes are impeccable
Their still on the bucket list of bands I wanna see before I die 😁
I finally say them in NY a few years ago for the mini Magic Whip North American tour, so fucking awesome!
They’re*
Yeah, really. Now I have to wait out a pandemic AND if they want to do it again. ( All due respect to the real problems happening now)
So do I! My favourite band since I’m 12 and haven’t seen them on stage yet (what a shame I know 😅)
I saw them live seven times and it was pure magic!
First time i heard this song was in a summer tv series in year 2000 called Young Americans. Good ol days. I was just 13. I am 37 now. Beautiful band, beautiful song.
Everytime I get the acoustic out at a party it never turns out like this...
Share your repertoir with some Friends and bring them to the party!
I loved Blur back in the 90’s and I love them now, incredible song writers
Graham Coxon is just such an underrated musician. Such a great guitarist and adds his wonderful vocals. Such a great song.
Graham smiling is so god damn wholesome to see.
I'm NOT a Jimmy Fallon fan...but the long version of this song just kicks ass.
Great to see this posted!!!
Hate on Fallon all you want, this is dope.
This is the one time that he doesn't looked coked up to his eyes. He's better like this.
This *is* better than the recorded version. I love Jimmy, he makes you feel like you are actually sitting at this jam session. I always watch this video when I need a pick me up.
How has this only had 1 million views !!!!! It’s a complete masterpiece
They look like friends playing in the backyard and it is awesome as well!!!
I come back to this regularly. Too see them all genuinely enjoying themselves and even Graham crackin a smile makes me happy 😁
I wish to be as cool as Alex James
But he is a Tory 😣
Mimi Quinn don’t cry
@@mimiquinn1256 we all make mistakes...😂
Hope you like cheese then
I’m edgy i hate conservatives because i’m a woke 14 year old girl
Great to see Graham smiling. He was missed. Lets hope a reunion might happen again!
And what a reunion it has been !!! Ballad of Darren is BLOWING ME AWAY!!!! "Barbaric" makes me cry.. everything Blur always was and more..

Ok how come I have not seen this until just now? Awesome performance!
Brilliant. Good to see Blur have fun with this song. It's almost a Beatlesque type moment here.
Graham Coxon has the look of a man who wonders if he cleared his history before leaving the house.
Haven't we all?
Graham “Clear Cache” Coxon
@maripicelli Gold Jerry, Gold!
Hilarious. Literally laughed out loud 👏
Haha!
imagine damon albarn smiling at you whilst your singing together with the rest of blur jamming too
When things don't go well, play Blur songs :)
Also, when things go well, play Blur songs.
It won't get better. This is the peak of music entertainment. I absolutly live it.
I love this. Makes me very happy!!! This spreads cuteness, love, kindness… I wish this kind of world. 🧡🧡🧡

Gracias por esta versión. Amo la canción y la energía de todos, especialmente de Jimmy
First time watching this. It was fantastic. Tender is probably my favourite Blur song.
So beautiful watching them having so much fun and laughing at each other, you can see how much Jimmy likes the song :)
Absolutley brilliant
Pure visceral talents and great melodies... Blur its a ethernal classic band on the rock and pop scene... life long and prosperal to Blur...
I smiled all the way thru that........😎🎸👍
Alex looks so cozy! Gra's smile melts me
The best version of Jimmy I've ever seen
How was Oasis vs Blur even a thing? I love Oasis but Blur were on another planet muscially.
Been practicing this song on guitar lately. Cant wait for quarantine´s over to jam it with my friends.
my favourite video on internet 😍😍😍
Hello again
Wow. Never saw this before. One of my favourite blur songs for years. Never knew the Americans loved this as much.
Fair play to Fallon, he's enjoying himself immensely. And he can really do those high note yelps
American here, this song is blur's masterpiece. 13 is a phenomenal record. Coffee and TV is excellent too
Graham and Damon are like two of the most talented people in earth
What a beautiful song.
I've always loved this song, and I think Blur are a great band. And the added vocalists on this one absolutely make the song. They give it the lift on on the chorus and the coda. I wish I knew their names and where I could find more of their music.

Beautiful performance that really grasps the spirit of this song.
