I love his eyes floating in the air when he is thinking about the past . it's like he 's watching a funny movie :) Not sure to express myself correctly because I am french
I'd like to think that if I had Damon for half an hour I'd come up with better questions. My God, he's already been asked all these questions so many times - what a missed opportunity!
penny Sings agreed most people look good when they were young and lose their look as they age but seems like damon gets better with age lol he looks better now than he did when he was in his late 30s
its weasel Yeah, but the money he has allows him to go to that fancy spa with sauna’s and masseuses etc that he goes to and eat high quality food and see high end doctors...he does drink a lot which has made him gain and lose and gain weight over the last decade or so.
In spite that in fact it is a good interview thanks to Damon providing sincere and profound answers to these typical and well known questions, as a journalist, I humbly believe the interviewer has serious problems with following the mood, the flow and train of thoughts of Damon. He’s constantly asking “more details” or “tell us a bit more about…” when an interviewer’s ability is to achieve the magic of rich responses coming out spontaneously. Damon is evidently tired of being asked about the same boring things all the time. Maybe he has this self-defensive attitude towards interviewers in general or maybe to the simplistic interpretation of his outstanding and beyond-Blur-and-the-britpop-thing work. Nevertheless, he’s able to provide serious and honest answers even when he’s visible not so motivated, in comparison to other interviews of that time.
No lo malinterpreten,yo soy fan de Damon Albarn y Jamie Hewlett,solo dije que me encanta eso de que siempre diga ahhhhh cuando responde,me hizo recordar a rockit de Gorillaz
Hahaha. My parents were both teachers too....Mom started in normal elementary, a full 5th grade class every year...Then she took the Title 9 position, and taught all grades Art and Writing...Dad was a PhD, was a professor and taught Shakespeare, English Composition, Critical Thinking, CS Lewis...but he could play any instrument very well.... piano, trombone, sax, etc without any instruction or study, just by ear...he also had a radio program at the Univ, where he read poetry to primarily classical music....and these influences shaped me immensely...blah blah, but it's just interesting bc I played the piano until It became a chore, as I got advanced, then it was no longer fun...I dn choose to bc a musician, for my artist drive, but A lawyer, and used the art of word choice and persuasion....it was totally unsatisfying for other reasons, but, MUSIC is my life and always has been....and Damon has been on my radar since 1995/6....and overwhelmed by his passion and truly his rhythm...that is true art....Damon's performance of Andromeda at the WFUV studio in The Gorillaz's, encapsulates what I likely couldn't choose the right words to describe why I am drawn to his essence and music .....much love!
Find it odd that he started being mates with a man who stole his best friends girlfriend. (Graham) then if that wasnt a stab in the back he then kicks his buddy out of band just because he was going thru issues and ruins bluto start another band with the same guy Honestly who does that ? I'm not a Damon Albarn fan. Hes a thick headed arse. Graham is lovely soul.
Graham left blur because he had stopped drinking and doing drugs and Damon, Alex and Dave had not. He stopped turning up to rehearsals and sessions. Damon was friends with Jamie since they were all in university. By the time Damon and Jamie became flatmates and bandmates, Graham had left blur and was not on speaking terms with anyone. Life is life only. No need to judge. I'm a huge fan of everyone involved with blur and Gorillaz. We are all humans though.
@@cactaceous and I mean if every time Damon does anything not involving everyone else....they'd all be angry at him. He just can't seem to stop. If they all followed him they'd be tired 🤣

I want damon to be on hot ones so bad
damon and jamie giggling through the heat
Second this!
How do I apply? I'll be happy to go on there, so long as it doesn't give me MAJOR SHITS afterward. That sauce looks very damaging.
“If I get too freaked out by it all, I just go back to playing the piano”. What a perfect answer for a musician. Sounds like a song lyric in itself.
He's aged really well.
Like wine
he could pass for a 36 year old
You’ve aged really well, mate, if anyone has...
Yeah he looks great. I think he always had a bit of a boyish look to him
@@itsMrNoble Me? I'm 34 and people think i'm only 27. I think i did all the aging back then.
His voice is deeper than I expected
You expected a tenor speaking voice?
gosh me too!
British voice 👂👊📞

nailed it
his voice is so deep and relaxing to listen to
real
Damon's red lips and his incredibly blue eyes are just 😱😍🔥🤤
What a hottie mmm
Don't forget his amazing nose
@@Rivan98 so goddamn hot
@@Rivan98 oh YES
agreed xx
Damon is so humble when describing his background, especially his writing. And he's written so many good songs! Love him!
I never get over how deep his voice is, his vocal range never disappoints
_Everyday Robots_ is an underrated masterpiece. Top to bottom one of his best, easily.

Yeah crap interviewer
The interviewer has one of the most indistinguishable accents i've ever heard.
Nic Harcourt, a radio DJ
I think he grew up in England, Australia and USA. You can hear all 3 in his accent too
He still could get it
You freak 😜
damn right
@@Aliannaxenos sure could😫
@@reesafield7401 just saw him live finally in Chicago, and I can confirm he STILL can get it

More like "I mean"
totally works though:)
Hehe
Sort of hehe
My parents were artists but had to take teaching job...
What did they teach??
Er, Art...
lol
art
His voice is so calming! He could say and sing anything and I could jam to it!
He is just gorgeous, and his voice... 💓
Why can't more men in their 50s look like him
Because most men are not rich.
Because most men in their 20’s don’t look how he looked

Great respect for Damon, well spoken and amazing talent indeed.
Fucking yes indeed.
the damon albarn of the 90s is completely different from what I see now, call it maturity ...
OH MY GOD I love him so much, he's so inspiring and talented and REALLY charming
Damon es hermoso... Amo su voz y se le quiere mucho. Tremendo musico
Me encanta tu expresion siempre muy soñador muy encantador, cuando respondes a las preguntas vives el instante eres un amor Damon 😘
this is a top quality interview. i wish more interviewers asked such good questions
Damon really hates social media
I do too.
Your right, it's a poison of the mind, hence why I hate it and would not advise it to anyone.
HERMOSOOOOOO DAMON! :)
"I grew up in art school, basically"
😻The best forever! i love u Damon💘

Greetings from Istanbul, Damon! 😉😉🇹🇷
Hermoso hombre 💖💓😘
The 2 mins pop song is now everywhere. Perfect for Spotify
Me es imposible no amar a este hombre, diría no homo pero alv
In love with Damon
Everyday Robots is a fantastic record. Reading Richard Russel’s book was great too. A lot of him on that record too.

Bellísimo hombre 😍
This is a really good interview
Z like in Zorro:) Enjoyed every minute of the interview. Thanks.
This highlights my slow burn turn off of Albarn. Denim on denim has always been an atrocity.

It's really hard to explain xD but I was shocked ._.

And sounds just like this

Anyone know what coat Damon's wearing here? Cheers :)
Man I wish I could find the full version......

23:49 thank god Damon has that philosophy, or we would not have the new Gorillaz albums today
Yeap
Why does he never mention Keith was the manager of Soft Machine.
My parents were both artists.
What did your parents teach??

.....much love!
god this interviewer tries to make this serious emotional atmosphere and it’s just painful awkward
Its a portable cabin , whats portable cabin lol ffs damon looked at like what the fuck
The interviewer has a GREAT hairline! Love the look! Halfway back receding hairline.
Lol, and dyed so it doesn’t stand out to much
Teachers' wages are a lot for most people! we all have to supplement our income these days.
When did he go to North Korea?
why would you call rural Essex white?
Who’s the interviewer
Nic Harcourt
Damon=Jude Law+bratt pitt
I loved how he had to dumb his music down
I am the 666th upvote.
He looks so much like my ex it's weird. But a much cooler version obviously
Ex reveal
uh.
A pretty bleak assessment of the effect of the digital world on our lives. Before that was TV though....
Blur > Oasis
Leesure!!! This has to be a parody!
Guitar Center Sessions where the interviewed doesn't even play guitar once. Nice one 🙄
His posture is so terrible here though LOL
He’s drunk as fuck lol
He has a love hate relationship with "Anglo Saxon" Essex. Early Blur were whiter than white.
Stop talking over a genius and ask critical shallow questions. Bad interviewer, good subject :)
Interviewer is really annoying does not let Damon even speak...

Really dislike Gorillaz. Terrible garbage that will never stand test of time like Blur will.
He's made music with Gorillaz for 20 years and it is incredibly popular so it has stood the test of time.
Gorillaz opened up portals for me. I hope you too find your truth someday. 👐🏻
Much better than I originally thought. Listen to the melodic breakdown in ‘Kid with Guns’ for example. Fantastic.
SA AW You must be American, everyone knows Blur and they were one of the most important bands of the 90s.
@@Nicholas.Murdoch yes I am speaking as an American but the point of standing the test of time more relates to gorillaz than blur
