    THE POISON TREE
    If you’ve got dreams you keep and you’re leaving me
    I’ll see you in the next life
    I’ll set you free
    To find your promised land
    If you’re leaving me
    It’s really sad
    It’s really sad
    Because our love is lying on a fallow field
    It’s the seed that you sowed
    And scattered with the fallen shields
    If you got dreams you keep because you’re leaving me
    I’ll see you in the next life
    Don’t follow me
    To the poison tree
    That grew up next to me
    It’s really sad
    It’s really sad
    Because our love is lying on a fallow field
    It’s the seed that you sow
    That’s scattered with the fallen shields
    Of a last crusade to save me from myself
    The Good, The Bad & The Queen are managed by Eleven Management

    As I get older I find this music more and more relevant. I've lost both my parents and said goodbye to more than a few beloved friends, the sadness in this song speaks to me more than ever. We are powerless to stop those we love from leaving us eventually, all we can do is wish them farewell as they go, and hope for the best. Cherish what time you have with those you love, treasure every second, because everything is finite. Everything has an amount attached to it. There's only so many times you can say 'hi' to a friend, "I love you" to your partner or "see you soon" to your mum and dad until they leave your life forever. Be slow to anger and quick to love and never let a dispute get in the way of a relationship. I've learned this through bitter experience, because you'll regret it if you do. 😢

    Damon Albarn is definitely the greatest talent from his generation, he just has more humanity to work his than someone like Thom Yorke, who's undeniably great, but cold.

    • @Missjunebugfreak
      @Missjunebugfreak 5 років тому +22

      Damon is definitely much more versatile and prolific than Thom is, at least stylistically. Thom deals more in the abstract topics and themes of alienation. I love both for their own unique artistic talents.

      Damon is able to touch a more mainstream audience, which is why I find him more comparable than Thom Yorke to former greats such as David Bowie. I _love_ Thom's work, but he fulfills a different role.

      It's just that our preference might be to a certain style, someone else will tell you different but I agree, this is some of his best. But at times my preference will shift to Humanz, or certain tracks.

    After Tony Allen's passing, I see this as a beautiful goodbye to him.
    It fits so well in that it's one of the last songs released in his lifetime that includes his drumming. The only song featuring him more recent than this that I can think of is How Far by Gorillaz.

If you think what Damon still writes and produces today, when he's 50 years old, and what Noel Gallagher is doing instead, which is not worth a billionth of this stuff. And hey, I was a MASSIVE Oasis fan back in the days, much more than Blur.
