Something about the end of this music video feels so timeless. How he stands at the window as the camera shows the surrounding grungy 90's environment around them. It's almost like the video steps through your screen.
It's about H - the video may not be but the window opening and going on to show the outside world felt almost metaphorical to me. If you know you know.
@@emma-rp3qp yeah kinda, there's then the outside world - without the blinkers you only remember or see again once clean- rather than thinking of one thing, and one thing only - while using. I'm probably miles off I've never heard the directors idea behind the video, could mean nothing, just how I've always taken at as. Don't suppose there's aright or wrong, what it means to you can be taken completely different from another. Just was always my take away from it I guess.
God, his stare is so mesmerizing. I feel like he's staring right into my soul, my life, everything I've gone through, all the hurt, the love the fun times. Almost like his stare makes you freeze in time. 😶
"Beetlebum" Beetlebum What you've done She's a gun Now what you've done Beetlebum Get nothing done You beetlebum just get numb Now what you've done Beetlebum And when she lets me slip away She turns me on all my violence is gone Nothing is wrong I just slip away and I am gone Nothing is wrong She turns me on I just slip away and I am gone Beetlebum Because you're young She's a gun Now what you've done Beetlebum She'll suck your thumb She'll make you come 'Cause she's your gun Now what you've done Beetlebum And when she lets me slip away She turns me on all my violence is gone Nothing is wrong I just slip away and I am gone There's nothing wrong She turns me on I just slip away and I am gone He's on, he's on, he's on it [8x]
Noel Gallagher: "If there was one song from Blur that I could make my own, I would pick Beetlebum. That song could have been written by The Beatles, that's how good it is!"
I hope this is an actual Noel Gallagher quote... considering how condescending him and Liam usually are, it is quite refreshing to hear him say something nice for once! They should do so more often!
@@thomascraymer8712 I saw the video of him saying it himself in an interview, before AI became widespread so no deepfake. They have their moments of "lucidity". TO be honest, I have a feeling that half of the tmes they were just being arrogant and stuff for the laughs. For the other half, they were just being themselves.
@@davlor86 Actually Damon was the main songwriter and arranger, I would say Graham is more the "heart" of the band. Blur wouldn't be the same without his awesome guitar wizardry (Think Tank is still a great album though)
To me, this will always be their musical masterpiece. Graham Coxon makes a guitar whale and cry in such a unique way and Damon's singing and vulnerability is off the charts. Definitely my fave song of all time.
It's good but it's not great...and they have some GREAT songs..."The Universal"? "Country House"? "Until the End"? "Good Song"? "Out of Time"? "No Distance Left to Run"? Like everything on "13"? "Caramel"? Trimm Trabb"? I could go on and on...
@@miguelheras2119justo lo que no estás haciendo tú ahora mismo? Estás diciendo lo que dices como si te contestarás a ti mismo, es impresionante tener dos bandas y que triunfen las dos , porque eres tan retrasado?
i love the 4k quality, it’s so much clearer and crisp. it would be great if you guys did this for the other music videos, especially for tomorrow and girls & boys
only works if they edited it all on film. many videos might have been shot on film, but edited on tape. and the quality is stuck at what tape is. for example, whams last cristmas video. some shots were on a tape camera and you can def tell a quality limitation. but yes, i would love to see many more videos re-scanned at 4k..
They're only remastering videos from "Blur" (1997). "Song 2" has got remastered. I'm guessing "On Your Own" and "M.O.R." will get remastered as well. Edit: Nvm, looks like they're only remastering "Beetlebum" and "Song 2" and not the other two, which kind of sucks as I would love to see both of them in 4K, especially "On Your Own".
People realize how genius this song is? It's alternative rock at it's peak, it's super 90s but yet it's timeless, stylewise there'a influences both british and american. It's catchy but it's unique. The riff, the melody, the soundscape. I used to be a latecomer to Blur fandom, but now diggin' this song for about 20 years I finally see it.
This and "out of time" are next level classics comparable to Mozart in my opinion. Charmless man, song 2, The Universal, country house, coffee and tv and many more are simply classics. That's how good this band are to me personally.
Who's ACTUALLY here for the song? Gee, you people need to appreciate the great music of Blur and not just Damon's incredibly dreamy and mesmerizing gaze that gives you the warm fuzzies...
I just learned the bassline, and yeah, he's so underrated. Girls and Boys is so groovy only because of the bassline, without it it's half-finished. Beetlebum's chorus is everything with the way Alex can make something beautiful rhythmically and melodically

Saw them yesterday in Amsterdam, Damon's aged a lot... But well he doesn't want to be the typical rockstar, otherwise he'd had his teeth fixed, worn contact lenses and maybe go to the gym.
Took me so long to listen to this song again as an adult without getting severely depressed. This whole album got me through a very dark year in high school. Death of a Party was my other much-repeated song off this album. Great tunes
I just started listening to this song today and Blur a couple of days ago. I’ve known about them for a while and decided to give them a listen. This song… man… it has a weird affect on me. It gives me this sort of nostalgia for some reason, and I don’t know why. I’ve listened to it at least 4 or 5 times today, and I cried the 4th time. It makes me sad… yet happy. The song is just so amazing and then Damon and his incredible dreaminess just tops it all off. And Graham’s incredible guitar playing…and the “oooooOOooooooo” part. Don’t even get me started on the ending… thats everything for me . Maybe its that Damon kinda sounds and looks really sad in this video to me. I don’t know. The song makes me feel as if missing someone or something and its to late to go back it cause its all gone… its really really weird and sad and happy in a way and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! All I know right now is that this is one of the most incredible songs i’ve ever heard in my entire life.
I love reading comments like these. I've known Blur and Gorillaz for so fucking long...i decided to dive more into Blur and today is my first time hearing this one. I love how dramatic this video is!!
lmaooo only a couple weeks and yeve already got the damon profile pic...welcome newcomer! ive been a fan for almost two years and oh my what a rabbit hole it is. enjoy your stay :)
So this makes sense why I'm a huge Oasis fan and this is my first time hearing this song by Blur and I like it above the others I heard of them. My Oasis loyalty is strong in here, innit?
omg this is the most hilarious celebrity crush comment section of any youtube video ever! literally in tears and wanted to take the time to thank you ladies and gentlemen for this fine (and free) entertainment!
If u think this is hilarious go visit any arctic monkeys video on here, guarantee you’ll get a good laugh haha majority of the comments are about Alex Turner (main singer)
@ I will not argue with regards to the comment section but in terms of the band, they play very well but what they're doing musically had been done before a million times. It's just good old "indie rock". Nice but why bother when you have so many amazing bands writing original, intense music in the 90's, 80's, 70's and 60's...I can't think of a single (famous) British band of the past 2 decades that blew my mind, but if I had to choose it would be Kaiser Chiefs. But original, emotionally moving music just doesn't make it anymore.
Wow...I didn't even realized Damon was so desired... I've always loved Blur as an awesome band, how no one out-staged the other, which is priceless and so satisfying to hear and watch ❤️
Beetlebum What you've done She's a gun Now what you've done Beetlebum Get nothing done You beetlebum just get numb Now what you've done Beetlebum And when she lets me slip away She turns me on all my violence is gone Nothing is wrong I just slip away and I am gone Nothing is wrong She turns me on I just slip away and I am gone Beetlebum Because you're young She's a gun Now what you've done Beetlebum She'll suck your thumb She'll make you come Coz, she's your gun Now what you've done Beetlebum And when she lets me slip away She turns me on all my violence is gone Nothing is wrong I just slip away and I am gone Nothing is wrong She turns me on I just slip away and I am gone
@@vanivanita Chasing the beetle is just another variation on chasing the dragon. Smoking smack, basically. The gear turns into a small black dot on the foil, which you move around and 'chase' with a rolled up piece of paper for inhaling. So yeah. In this context, a beetlebum is just a poetic term for a junkie. "Just get numb".
Was obsessed with Blur and this song 6 years ago. Glad to see that it's 2020 and ppl are still watching and commenting under this video :) Edit: 6 years, not 4
On a random day in the summer of 2005 it was 5:30am. I was high on ecstasy, laid on the couch in my living room with my good friend as company. The ending of this song was playing. Almost 20 years later it still makes me feel warm inside when I hear it 🥰
I miss britpop: Blur, Oasis, Pulp, The Verve, Supergrass, Cast, Placebo, Space, Sleeper and Elastica.... I feel bad for anyone who missed out on this beautiful era. I remember listening to both Oasis and blur at glustonbury. fucking magical. I was only 12, but I loved it.
Graham really nails the guitar in this, he wanted to sound more like the American indie bands of the time and he took their style and just took it to another level
This music video always makes me feel sad, that sad feeling you get on a Sunday when all your friends have left and its overcast outside, and you know you're not gonna see any of them for awhile, if ever again.
Still one of my favourite songs of theirs. I'm sure it's been mentioned before somewhere but at the bit from 04:03, when Damon looks out the window and the camera starts to pan away from the building, it's as if the video is saying goodbye to that era of "Britpop" although of course the real end to that scene didn't come for another 7 or 8 months after this song came out.
@@thedirtychips8556 No, it's about heroin. Damon admitted it, and both him and Justine had been "chasing the beetle" at that time and just prior to their breakup
I confronted my biological dad today who didn’t wanna acknowledge nor care About my existence and I feel free now this song helped a lot and blur will forever be one of my favourite bands 😊

"Beetlebum by Blur. it's the best britpop song. A superb song. Twenty years ago this choice would have been widely commented on, I agree. But I'm sincere, it sounds like The Beatles. It could have its place on The White Album, it's that brilliant. And I love what Damon is doing with Gorillaz just as much." ~ Noel Gallagher

That's one of my favourite Blur's song, I don't know why, I really like the idea, the atmosphere, it kinda makes me wanna sleep, I don't know how to explain it but this song is so great to listen to
It’s so interesting to see this cleaned up clip 25 years on. We can now see the coke can and cigarette that were otherwise blurred out originally.

Nice but why bother when you have so many amazing bands writing original, intense music in the 90's, 80's, 70's and 60's...I can't think of a single (famous) British band of the past 2 decades that blew my mind, but if I had to choose it would be Kaiser Chiefs. But original, emotionally moving music just doesn't make it anymore.
@@bryankinney1 hurr durr old music good new music bad
Eh?
This song is amazing, the chorus always gives me goosebumps!
Am I the only one who melts when I look at Damon's eyes in this video? No?
Maddie Hamilton We are millions...
More than millions because there are two ovaries
My ex boyfriend is a gay guy...He just covers it up with an alter ego.
Did you mean in every video
This man is so beautiful it hurts. Oh and talented to boot. Britain in the 90s was awesome
And now...we are a mess. Led by a dictator.
25 years old and one of the best outros ever! Graham Coxon, one of the great underrated guitarist
Wow...I didn't even realized Damon was so desired... I've always loved Blur as an awesome band, how no one out-staged the other, which is priceless and so satisfying to hear and watch ❤️
Fun fact, this is Noel Gallaghers favourite blur song, which he wish he'd wrote
+overmostheads He's also mad about "Tender".
Where did you see this?
Interviewed by Zane Lowe on a show called Gonzo years ago
+overmostheads Craig Nicholls' too, I think. But who ever cares about his band.
NERVANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMFG NERVANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song makes me feel a sense of nostalgia for something that has never happened...
being a handsome young musician doing drugs
will never
the ending of this song, it's like a mix of repent and nostalgia
This comment gets put on every music video there is that is more than 5 years old, but this one really isn’t it
I felt the same way in 1997 in post-soviet Belarus being 16 when hearing the first sounds of this masterpiece

thank you! been looking so long for this comment
I can't understand the drug analogy.
@@vanivanita she is heroin
@@vanivanita Chasing the beetle is just another variation on chasing the dragon. Smoking smack, basically. The gear turns into a small black dot on the foil, which you move around and 'chase' with a rolled up piece of paper for inhaling. So yeah. In this context, a beetlebum is just a poetic term for a junkie. "Just get numb".
@@MarquisSmith the song was about Justine Frischmann of Elastica. She was a massive heroin addict.
the way I scream when Damon starts rolling on the carpet
Was obsessed with Blur and this song 6 years ago. Glad to see that it's 2020 and ppl are still watching and commenting under this video :)
Edit: 6 years, not 4
I was obsessed with this song 23 years ago! lol
me too, obsessed when i was 16, 7 years ago
I obsessed with blur just now lmao cuz I wasn’t born in 1980 lol
I want all of Damon's sweaters so bad
Me too
Sameeee
Yes ❤️
He was just cute when he was young, a bit baby-faced. He had sth innocent in his looks.
same here
0:31 he looks so devastated it almost breaks my heart
On a random day in the summer of 2005 it was 5:30am. I was high on ecstasy, laid on the couch in my living room with my good friend as company. The ending of this song was playing. Almost 20 years later it still makes me feel warm inside when I hear it 🥰
I miss britpop: Blur, Oasis, Pulp, The Verve, Supergrass, Cast, Placebo, Space, Sleeper and Elastica.... I feel bad for anyone who missed out on this beautiful era. I remember listening to both Oasis and blur at glustonbury. fucking magical. I was only 12, but I loved it.
i hear you mate but there was a lot of my mates too obsessed with brit that they missed out on some real class american bands of the same era
Being a youngster from Asia I could only watch this on MTV when it wasn't totally shit yet.
Placebo aren't Britpop just to let you know
They are mainly from Belgium
And your missing suede
Graham really nails the guitar in this, he wanted to sound more like the American indie bands of the time and he took their style and just took it to another level
Stephen Malkmus is whom you’re referring too
this song has NO business being this good oml
Ikr? I have to listen to this song at least once a day I love I so much
日本武道館(確か1997年)のライブを見に行った時の一発目がこのビートルバムで当時大好きだったグレアムのギターで始まる所凄く感動し鳥肌が立った！あの時の気持ちは今でも良い思い出
Blur is one of those cool 90s bands that can make you feel calm, happy, relaxed and sleepy.
Aka the perfect band to listen to while high
Too right
Ideal stoned music👌
Just like heroin! Which is what it's about!
@@Vtcrvynibrxegun
Perfect indeed, my friend 👌
That fucken guitar riff at the end is an outright eargasm my gosh...
This music video always makes me feel sad, that sad feeling you get on a Sunday when all your friends have left and its overcast outside, and you know you're not gonna see any of them for awhile, if ever again.
THIS OMG
THIS :(
You MUST be a writer!
It reminds me of those dark days when I can't score Heroin.
pretty sure it's about his break up with Justine
0:05 That specific moment when Graham starts to play the riff... Changed my life.
The last minute of this video is amazing. British film and arts were pioneering in the 90s. I hope that can come back
Those eyes, my god!!!!
i'm going batshit crazy about damon albarn at 4am
i grew up with this song and i fall more and more in love with blur everyday
Me too! They're amazing as a band and Damon is soooo hot!
Now 03.43, close enough?
Still one of my favourite songs of theirs. I'm sure it's been mentioned before somewhere but at the bit from 04:03, when Damon looks out the window and the camera starts to pan away from the building, it's as if the video is saying goodbye to that era of "Britpop" although of course the real end to that scene didn't come for another 7 or 8 months after this song came out.
It's about his break up with Justine Frischman
@@SerenityChaos1975 Mmm I don't think so... It's about Damon's experience with heroine
Both wrong, It’s about Liam G being a Beatlebum and Damon stealing Liams girl which started the Oasis vs Blur feud. Look it up
@@thedirtychips8556 No, it's about heroin. Damon admitted it, and both him and Justine had been "chasing the beetle" at that time and just prior to their breakup
@@ximenatapia4532it was that and with his ex I believe
Omg his eyes 😍 I remember watching this so many times just to look at them
I confronted my biological dad today who didn’t wanna acknowledge nor care About my existence and I feel free now this song helped a lot and blur will forever be one of my favourite bands 😊
That's a pos, babe. Let go of the weight and soar.
Yes that ingenious lead guitar riff at the end . What a great piece of work.
I literally could listen to this song forever I don't think there will ever be any other song that makes me feel the same way this one does

2:22 don't stop kissing the microphone
He looks sexy hahahaha
lmao it makes me uncomfortable in a way
hats off to Damon's mum for her craftsmanship. Jeeeezuz
YES HES JUST 😩🤭
Funniest comment 🤣👌
I have GOT to be one of the dumbest people alive my first thought was wait what did she make him like a sweater or smth? 🤦🏻♀️ But yes good job to Hazel
😂
I thought this was reference to the bead necklace
"Beetlebum by Blur. it's the best britpop song. A superb song. Twenty years ago this choice would have been widely commented on, I agree. But I'm sincere, it sounds like The Beatles. It could have its place on The White Album, it's that brilliant. And I love what Damon is doing with Gorillaz just as much." ~ Noel Gallagher
i have to agree with you. i really hear the Beatles vibe in this song, but so original at the same time
Guys can u pls stop commenting about Damon
I'm trying find the lyrics on this comments

Find it on google lmao

😂😂😂 keep on then and good luck!
The sound of Blur is the one that has aged best of the English 90's bands.
I agree. I find myself listening to Blur now a lot more than I listen to some other bands from the '90s that I liked.
OK Computer's sound though
@@charlie172011 radiohead might be cheating, they influenced the 2000s and 2010s indie and post punk bands more than just about any other band. of course you're going to age well when everybody after you is mimicking you
@@pimposki6232 Fair point I guess
@LF Oasis aged and dated really quickly
Ok but Dave is really cute too, let's talk about him
Yesss
yess
What a chorus.
Damon is a truly great songwriter.
smoke a joint then listen again.

O my god 😂
Damon be burning
That took mw a minute
freeezerburnt... i just slip sway.. thanks for smoking crack mum.
Omg, i need more 4k blur videos
4:07 i love his messy bed hair 🤩🤩
the outro sounds as if radiohead helped blur write it, yet, its so calming
@@belle-fz3qnYESSS I agree love Radiohead and blur
this song is about the seductive allure of heroin use intermingled with romance, the addiction of heroin is truly horrifying but the feeling it can give you is nothing short of spectacular.....blur's best song!
Normally I don’t like slower songs, but Damon’s voice is just so good.
Lo mismo digo, aunque también me gustan esas canciones que son lentas, pero a la vez rapidas.
@@Otsugua42699 I agree!
@@caranook I don't speak English.
@@Otsugua42699 Lo siento, solo estaba diciendo que estoy de acuerdo contigo! 😁

2:20 actually destroyed me. Jesus.
One of the best and most complete songs ever written.
Didn't know it was possible for a human being to be that pretty. Holy shit those eyes O.O;
compared to Dave Gahan, Jean-Pierre Barda and Liam Gallagher, Damon looks like a wanking nerd
@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet Liam Gallagher is ugly as hell
Ikr those eyes looming at u.........so sexy
@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet liam Gallagher's eyebrows tho 😂

That's one of my favourite Blur's song, I don't know why, I really like the idea, the atmosphere, it kinda makes me wanna sleep, I don't know how to explain it but this song is so great to listen to
Damon's eyesssss
Sunny Bear yaaaaaaaaaas 😎
Especially in universal
Talia Smith omg ikr
Damon’s everything
For me this song is a work of art
It’s so interesting to see this cleaned up clip 25 years on. We can now see the coke can and cigarette that were otherwise blurred out originally. Seriously though this song never ceases to amaze and drown me all at the same time. If I ever need to be reminded why they’re my favourite band I play this. Always
yea i had no idea this happened i usually have this vid opened in another tab but mind blown rn
i love graham's little "ooOooOahhhOOoos" haha
kendruh SAME
That's what I love most about the song xD along with that riff and Damon's face of course
Damon is such beautiful man
I also think so. And i'm a straight guy.
Alexandre Silva That's the single best comment I've read on youtube this year.
He looks glamorous when young, handsome when aged!
Maddie L ♥♥
I agree, no homo of course.
The lyrics are so insightful and relatable.
Besides the fact that Damon is the best looking person to ever walk the planet, this song is so so incredible
I Agree
sorry i ruin the 420 comment
He’s cooked now
You're thinking of David Bowie, easy mistake to make.
so true
That fookin outro should never stop
As a wise fan once said, "90's Damon is the most fuckable creature in the universe"
I don't want to even fuck him I just want to look at him.
Do you ever feel ashamed reading stuff like that back as you move into your 20s?
@@pigglesy i feel sorry for everyone who was a blur fan
Ewww. Perhaps when I was 14. He’s like a _Blue Peter_ presenter.
He is indeed :3
Blur's best song. Absolutely love it.
When I die I want to reincarnate as Damon’s microphone
Me too 😂😂
He prolly dead as well by that time
…okay, yeah, same
haha😂😂😂😂
Same
One of the best songs of the 90's
Happy 22nd birthday to this gem!
I wish you didnt say that. Damn im old
23rd birthday today!
I never thought I would be thinking “I miss music with guitars.” 😢
Instruments are a must better than digital shit
Glad here in mexico we never forget guitars
Damn but he's an effortless sexy.
DeeSighfa, YGS
This song is a masterpiece, but Damon is the masterpiece.
😂😂😂🤪
get 2 for the price of 1
Merci ! .. 🎸 👍
Yes.

He's eyes are just. Mesmerizing
Those thumb movements on the microphone they're...just really great.
